Typhoid Fever in Tuckersmith.
To the Editor of die liztron Expositor :
DEAR Sin: Typhoid fe-ver in a severe
form having been imfortunatelyprevalent
for some weeks in a portion of the town-
ship of Tuckersmith, and hearing that
reports have been circulated unjustly re-
flecting on the doctors first in attendance,
I ask you to insert a few wldrds in ex-
planation. • Without 'entering into parti-
culars, which could only be understood
by a physician, I remark that the first
case occurred in a district where there
was then no typhoid fe'ver' no had there
been for months, and without any of the
characteristic symptoms of that disease,
and in an individualwho had been affected
with a low fever of very similar charac-
ter some years before. Theee, with many
other reasons, were quite sufficient to
justify the -physicians in regarding the
disease as not true typhoid. but a low
form of thalarious fever, and consequently
not in any degree infectieus. And in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred that
decision would have been correct. /But,
unfortunately, many undou ted cases of
typhoid fever occurred afte an interval
of time, and, in every inst nce, the per-
son affected had been_ at or near the
house of the before:mentioned case.
This, while it showed the di -ease to have
been really typhoid, gave rise to unfound-
ed fearsas to the great centagiousuess
of the disease. For, as a tule, typhoid
fever is not contagious. One of the most
eminent, of the nfew York physicians
says; "Although the disease may, be
undoubtedly communicated ill some way
from the sick to the -well, under ordinary
circumstances, it is not diffteed by con-
tagion. AS a rule it is not communicated -
to those •who come into contact with pri-
vate patients, nor is it propagated among
hospital patients, thus differing -widely
frdrn typhus fever. There ie ground for
the conjecture that when coMmunicated
'the special poison is derived from the inL
tea tine.! discharges.'Dr. W' rare. Budd
and others entertain the beli f that the
diseose invariably proceeds ft in a special
Poison contained in theexcre a, and they
account for the prevalence o the disease
by the dissemination of th' poison in
emanations from water-clos ts, privies
and. drains. It is evident to all ac-
quainted with the circurnsta ces that it
was from such emanations, au4d not from
any unusual contagiousness u the fever,
that the ,first rapid propaga ion of the
disease -in Tuckersmith took its origin.
Murchison cites several at iking out-
breaks of typhoid fever in 1 calities in
whieh it appeared to be fairlly attribut-
able to emanations from obstructed
drains and cesspools, or frori drinking
water tainted with sewage:
It follows, then, that if pro er care be
taken in the removal or disi fection of
the discharges from typhoid patients,
people run very little risk i in rendering
help to their sick neighbors,and in
"doing to others as in simil r circum-
stancesthey would wish done m to them."
And, finally, Mr. Editor, no treatment
at present known can cure all cases, or. ,
cut short the disease. Yours iruly,
H. L. Viatco , M, D.

...MURDER. —A man in med John Clamp
was committed to jail ere last week; on
a coroner's warrant, to tand his trial for
the murder of a boy named. Michael
Lewis, at Crediton. I appears the two
were working togethe in the harvest
field, when some cusp ite arose about
binding a sheaf, and a ter some alterca-
tion Clamp lost his te uper and struck
Lewis on the head with a rake he had in
his hand. One of the teeth penetrated
the boy's skull and brm ke off, and from
the injury done he died a, few days after.
An inquest was held b Dr. Hynclinan,
of Exeter, and as the c use of the boy's
death was quite clear, Clamp was com-
mitted. to jail to stand his trial. The
event has canted much sensation in the
neighborhood where it m ccurred, as both
parties are respectably onnectede It is
hardly probable Clamp r111 be convicted
of murder, as the elem nt of malice is
wanting, the deed. having been committed
in a fit- of temper.- i ,.„
IMPROVEMENTS AT THE UOURT HOUSE.
-e-For some time improv ments have beep
going on at the Court House, which are
now nearly completed. 1 The lower fiat
has been thoroughly , renovated and'
cleaned, the plaster repaired, the walls
and ceilings whitewashed and the wood-
work painted. The lobby on the west
side has been enclosed and made into 0,
chamber for the Judge, 'ho has hitherto
been obliged to use the C rand Jury room.
The upper flat has not ben touched, but
we understand it is iu contemplation.
next season to make 8011113 important al-
terations and improvements in the Court
Room. Accommodation ill also be pro-
vided for the caretaker o tside the build-

him will be available for other purposes;
This imitseli will be a peat advantage,
as the present arrang tniet is- very
awkward for both the • ublic and the

ment the necessity of taking action in the
matter. Mr. B. Willson, Reeve, was
pointed. Chairman. Mr. J. M. Leet was
called upon, and in an able speech, re.
viewed the history of the railway tame
paign, showing how the people had been
led to grant bonuses. He denounced in
the strongest terms the shameful manner
in -which the municipalities along the line
had been treated-, and coneludedrbymov-
ing a resolution condemning the action of
the said ComPany, and affirming the re.
sponsibility of the Government in the
matter. He advised the appointment of
a delegation to lay their grievarices before
the Government, and in the event of no
satisfaction being obtained, to seek -ad-
vice with a mieW to eommencing legal
proceedinge. Addresses were also deliv-
ered by Messrs. Thos. Holmes, Peter
Fisher, j. Gregory, Drs. McDonald and
Fowler, A. C. Osborne, and others.
resoltition tees also moved. appointing
Messrs. J. M. Leet, B. Willson, P. Fisht

deputation. A vote of thanks was then
tendered to the chairman,- and the meet,
ing concluded with three cheers for the

--Mr. Wyllie, better known as the
" Herd Leckie," the champion draught
player of the world, has been giving ex-
hibitions of his skill in Toronto and.
other places. In Toronto he easily con.
quered the crack players, the only To-
ronto man who scored a victory against
him being David Walker, of the VAlkee
House. -The following are the names of
some of his best known opponents, and
the record. of the play Messrs. Caratlp
ers, Jaffrey,,1 Harris, Dean, Riddell,
Walker, Rooney, Dryden, Ferguson of
Seaforth Gordon of Whitby, and Mac-
Nab of ifamilton. A large number of
other experts filed an appearance from
distant towns; of the Province, but a
very brief encounter with the Scottish
champion satisfied them, anti in many
cases sent them back home by an eally
train. After repeated efforts and au
aggregate play of several hundred games,
only six draws have solar been recorded
against the champion and these were se-
cured as follows : .kr. N. Rooney, 2 ;-
Mr. Drydon,:2; Mr. R. Ferguson, of
Seaforth, 1, and Mr. Gordon, of Whit-
by, 1, Mr. Wyllie is 53 years of age
and. was born at Kilmarnock, Ayrshire,
where he graduated as a herd laddie. At
an early age he- displayed great skill at
draughts, and before he was 16 years
old he had played and defeated most of
the crack players of the neighborhood.
For many years past he has lived at
Severn, Itfeshire'where his family carry,
on the crockery business. Mr. Wyllie
is in appearence a quiet, pawky Scotch -
man, one wild when playing a game ap-
pears to be wrapped up in its mysteries.
He rarely passes a remark, but occasion-
ally, when he has an officious or conceited
opponent, the old man works him into -a
hard corner, and. quietly chuckles over
the, discomfiture.
