The Trembles.
Ens. Co. Gent.?Severn] weeks back in
a number of your invnlunble journal, ft cor- (
respondent from N. C., if 1 remember
might, made some inquiries of you or any i
one, legnrding n form of disease by common .
consent termed "Milk Sickness." llonsk-j
ed for some information .is to the, cause of,
this distressing malrtdy which has so far!
proven itself one of the opprobia of profes- !
sion. It is my fortune to lie nblo to state j
without hazard, to a certainty, the Cause or 1
causes of this disease. I have waited thus ;
long, hoping some one would take the trou- j
hie and offer some information, but 1 have
seen none. Tho number which contained
the request has been misplaced by me some- !
how ; I am, therefore, not quite certain as ;
to the locality of the wiiter
The agents that cause this disease are J
Copper and Arsenic. The foimet* found in !
a state of nature as an oxide nr sulphuret, ,
or in the form of its native salts, the eurbon- j
ate, sulphate, or nrseniate. The latter, too, [
as found in mineral recrions. usually assoein- !
tod villi oilier metals, and its salts impreg- j
uating the earth to a greater or less exlenl. j
The following circumstances gave origin
to the discovery, Some parts of the fertile ,
Slate of Illinois, nfi'ord often in summer no !
stock water. The suffering stock will greedily
suck empty every lilile puddle or track,
or nnv place wherein water miy he gathered.
It so chanced at this season of the
year, that in the little excavations 1< ft by !
some quarrymen who were getting out rock, j
small quantities of water would ".seep," und
the cattle on llieir way home from the rich
but dry praiiies, sought out and eagerly
drank the water. The leadini? one of the
lier<J nn.d her yenrling arrived first at the |
place, consumed pretty mu<:h all by the j
lime the others got up. As the cow wfts j
owned by one of the workmen, she was no- j
ticed by him with some satisfaction nt her
tie ink. Hut by the following morning the }
cow and yearling were seized already with
the "trembles," and in a few days expired, ,
wliereas none of the balancc of the herd suf- |
fered. The rich milk obtained from her |
ample bag was given to the children, nnd
all of them had attacks of the "Milk-Sick." i
The observation of the owner of tin- cow nt
the quarry, led to n further investigation.?
Those over sanguine for their own interest '
hi their non belief, furni^lied sheep, calves !
and colts to test the water, and every one |
perished. A pain and itffan this whs icpeat
ed.and each time the animal would he seiz
ed with the peculiarly characteristic symp- '
loms of lhat disease, and die with the trem- ;
liles. Some of the water was tlien obtain- j
ed, and sent to n thorough chemist for anal- j
ysis, who pronounced it to contain Copper
and Arsenic mainly,
livery symptom which rrr.vha this dis- ;
ease will bear out the truth of litis discovery,
..ii/iu jjiii iiuiiiiiii v in i lie unman suo|eci.~ - ,
Tlie poisonous effects of copper and arsenic ,
rorrefpond entirely lo ihc symptoms of that i
disease. The effects of arsenic, it is too
well known, are an interminable s(retching I
with a distressed, anxious expression on tin- ;
countenance, indicative of almost complete
collapse. Those of copper are not unlike in
their action upon ihe gustro-intestinal mucous
membrane, besides a muscular weakness
amounting to u p ir.ilvtic condition of
rhe entire muscular system, as if all nervous
influence was cut oft", with excessive
prostrntion and great tremor. Tl y symptoms
of the milk-sickness correspond exact
ty with the effects of these agents upon the
human system.
It I recollect rightly, the writer from N.
said thnl in his section the poisonous ,
spots were known with that degree of certainty,
that in many places, to prevent cattle
from feeding on them, they had been
fenced in. I will venture to assure him
that if lie will tnke the trouble to excavate a
i-hallow pit in which during the /light some
water may collect, nnd have it subjected to ]
chemical tosts or nnalysirf, &ome form of
the salts of copper, nnd perhaps nrsenic will
he found. In travelling through fi section
#>f Illinois, Romclime since, and while slop |
pirtg for dinner, a district wns pointed out
to me 11 s being much afflicted v.ith the
"milk f.ick." On reauniiiig^my journey, I
shortly after rode into a creek and happened
to notice some coal jutting out from the
bank. I at onco procured a piece, and on
breaking it apurt, found traces of copper
all through it
I give you these fact9, Messrs. Editors,
so that they may receive wider circulation,
and also that observations at large may be
made to either corroborate or relute. I
trust that every man so situnted as to test
tliea* revelations, wilt do so and publish the
?esnft?, and thereby contribute not only to
the stores of science, but be instrumental in
allnviaiing the miseries and diseases of his
fellow mortals. Because when the causo

The great hail storm which occurred nl

The destruction of glass may lie estimated
by the count made in some prominent institutions.
viz : The Government Green House
tit the foot of the Capitol, is a complete
wieck ; the United Stales Hotel has lost
| J00 panes of glass, and sustained a damage
of some $300; ihe new Government Armory
has lost eveiy pane of glass on its
north westerly front ; the .sky lights at the
Capitol jj of an inch thick, were cracked
and broken. Rev. Mr. ('mother's church,
corner of Fifth and I stieets, lost some 200
panes of ybiss. the tin roof of the church
was also badly bruised. Mr. Cocoran'a
green house was also badly shattered.
It is estimated that the cost, of the Government
and Corporation of repairing breakages
upon the street lamps will not be less
than $'2,000. The Durnett House lost (KJ
punt's ui yuiss ; iwis. j\iiilj s, i' si reel ?'JU ;
Triniiy Church some fftOO or $000 worth
of stained glass. Capl, Birch lost 120 pines
of glass from liis residence near ihe steamboat
what f. The entire number of panes of
(f|a?s broken is differently estimated ut fiom
fifty to sixty thousand. Tin question as to
who is to pay the damage done to private
houses, landlords or tenants, has been raised
and is discussed with the earnestness
generally elicited by questions that touch
the pockets of tlie contestants. The extent
of the storm was not very large, but where
it extended the destruction was general.?
Several houses were unroofed* nnd fences
and tiees levelled throughout the city.
Twenty minutes was about the duration
of this storm, and in this brief timemnnv of
ilie streets had become completely overflown
; but during-its continuance the fall
of hail, t he demolition of tho window jjlass,
the rattle upon the roofs, against doors and
oilier objects, the running to and fro of
cattle upon ilie streets, and falling of lt*nvo6
and boughs, together with the violence of
the winds, the thunder and lightning, produced
a feeling of terror and consternation
among portions of the inmates of almost
every house.
Thfi Tnll Onto nf T.ifn
We are all on our journey. Tho world
through which we are passing is in some
respects like a turnpike?all along where
vice Mid folly have erected toll-gates for
the accommodation of those who choose to
call as they go?and there arc very few of
all the hosts of travellers who do not occasionally
stop a little at some one or other
of them?and consequently pay more or
less, to tho toll gatherers. Pay more or
less, 1 say, because there is a great variety
as well in the amount as in tho kind of toll
exacted at these dillerent slopping places.
Pride and fashion take heavy loll?of tho
purse-?many a man has become a beggar
by paying at their gates. Tho ordinary
rates they charge are heavy, and the road
I lint way is none of the best.
J Measure oOVrs n very smooth, udlightful

with many fair promises, and wins
thousands, but elie taken without mercy;

gets her victim in her power, ami turns him
<?lf a miserable object, into the worst ami

And so 1 might go on enumerating many
othcl'8 who gather toll of the unwary.
Accidents sometimes happen, it is true,
along the road, but those who do not gel
through at least tolerably well, you may be
sure have been stopping by the way at some
of the places. The plain, common sense

Within a few days past, ibe country has
been visited by most destructive tornadoes,
1 remarkable for tboir attendant phenomena,
i as well as their extensive range. From
| Canada to tieorgia, there has been an unuj
sual elemental disturbance, manifesting it]
self in hailstorms, whirlwinds and waterspouts.
In each of tlio counties of Herkimer,

i onon, on a smaller scale, accompanied with .
! hail, which passed over tho Union ilaeo

i Mass., tho "perturbations of llio atmosphcro"
took the form of a waterspout, which
I is thus described :
" It formed n column of one to three feet
in height, and filled the air to the height of
ten or fifteen feet with large drops and
spray, the whole lighted Up with the most
brilliant rainhrows. There was a noise like
tho rushing of a mighty torrent ; there was
also a continual sound, like that when red
hot iron is passed into water. Tho waterspout
had tlio usual whirling, and at the
same time a progressive motion, and was
about twenty or thirty seconds in passing
I 100 yards, when it encountered a railroad
| bridge, which broke it up. so that it nnsscd

In Wuthersfield and New Hartford, Ct.,
there waa also a liaii storm, with violent
wind. The hailstones, or rather, the pieces
of ico that fell, were of tho size of a walnut
and upwards. Several pieces wore found to
be over Inyo inches in length, and one of
triangular shape measured 3 1-8 inch in
