LANCASTER, April 27, 1857.
I lENRY J. STA II LE, Foq.—Sir : As I brought
the boy, McG rann, from Mt. St. Mary's Col
lege, I suppose I ant the person designated by
the Star in its issue of Friday, .April 10th, ns
the "gentleman authorised to demand his dis
charge front the officem:of the College,"
although I visited the College in consequence
of a letter written by the president of that
institution to the boy's guardian, requestiv
hint to have the lad talent home immediately,
and authorised to obtain, if possible, permis
sion from the of:it:era of the College for him
to remain there ; but, on account of his former
bad conduct, they considered his removal ab-,
solutely necessary. Neither the boy's guar-
dian nor I thanked the intermeddlers for
their pains; they have not been the child's
friends, but his enemies, and their interfer
enle was uucall-td for, and without any au
thority, or reason for pretending to have any,
for asserting that the boy's guardian was
discontented with his treatment at the Col
lege, or took him away because of such dis
content. Yours respectfully,
BERNARD J. McGRANN.

If there were health in a multitude of medi-
Ind systems as there is said to be SN;isclum in a
ttutiltitude of counsellors,' sickness would be
titikinnwn in tthis age of so called pathological
disco.re,ries. The homeopathists tell us that
the s.afration of our liYes in sickness depends
upon ittinatesimal doses and infinite dilution ;
the dydrotraltists profess tt rain health upon
us front shower baths, or soak disease out of
us with wet blankets ; while a still newer set
of exclusives propose burying us up to the
armpits in the earth—putting both feet in the
grave as it were, by way of saving our lives !
Then, we have Sangrados, who are all for
