In riew of the prevalence of.'diphtheria
in varione Parts of this Proyince, it is
interesting to note that the authorities at
Sydney, Cape Breton, have oet afoot severe
measures in order to restrict the spread of
diphtheria,' which has been prevalent there,
Here are mime ef their ordinances:
1, That all cases of diphtheria be completely
'isolated and that the headsof famines:where the
disease exists display a yenoW este not less •than
twelve inches square in some conspicuous place
on the dwelling. s. That the medical men of
the town be respeetfuny requeetedto notify the
Secretary of this Hoard of the appearance and
itmaiity .of any new - ease of diphtheria corning
Linder their' observation, B. That any person
coming into the Town of Sydney from any dwell-
ing in which diphtheria exists, shall boilable to
a penalty not exceeding one hundred 'dollars. A.
•That all householders shell hevetheir premises

condition, and that the Health ' Wardens -and

In connection .with typhoid Pr. Ogden
delivered a lengthy speech, showing the
distinetion between typhus and typhoid,
fever. Typhus, Which was the
only kind of fever known pre.
views to 1840, was intensely hike, -
tams, Typhoid fever had been
found after extensive experiments to be
non-oontagioue M the same seines as 'scarlet
fever and smallpox. It could pot be corn-
Municated by touch nor by the atmosphere
as thee diseases could, but its germs were
capable of propagation by neglect of proper
sanitary arrangements, want of cleanli-
ness or impure water. He regretted
,that the City Cguncil had shbwn
so little appreciation of the import -
mice of providing a proper water supply.
A difference arose between Drs. , Wright

whooping cough. Dr. Ogden w°1 opinion
that thirnialady'vtaentitiiintiigial in the

Dr, Wright differed, and proposed the
amendment of clause 6 by the insertion of

agreed to. •
A Pawl Falt io Leap -pro*. ;
In the catalogue of games known U. the

enjoyed extraordinary popularity, yam-
monly called leap -frog. The peculiar char-
acter. 'of this game is suffleient to indicate
that it was intended for the Male sprouts
of the rising generation exclusively. The
• °moiler had a sad case to dispose of yester-
day, which demonstrated most conclusively
that the girl who plays the game doeii it at
the peril of her life. Elizabeth'E. Zeller,
young girl' residing at No. 2,001 De Kalb
Street, left her borne gay and happy last
Saturday afternoon for school. In the
evening she came hoirie with'o. bruise on
her forehead, which she said was only a
scratch she had sustained While playing
leap -frog With a number of other girls.
'110 girls, sheexplained to her, mother,
arranged themselves in a row, and she sue -
seeded in making all the, leaps but one
without the slightest difficulty, When she
attempted to leap over the shoulders of the
last girl in the row her dress caught on the
girl'!" head, and caused her to fall head
foremost to the ground. Nothing more
was thought of the accident by her friends,
and the leap -frog gime was scarcely men1
tioned until Tuesday, when it was recalled
to memory by the girl's anxious mother,
as soon as the girl, returned home from
eehool in •the afternoon ,and complained
of • a severe headache' and. began to
