This will be a sufficient reply to Mr. Carmichael, and who will

the Governors of the English school.

slightly nitrated drinks—emollient injections, and restricted diet. 
On the following morning she began to eat her litter—her breath¬ 
ing was free—the enlargement of the paunch had disappeared—the 
rumination was natural, but there were small portions of hardened
