We are glad to notice in two morning papers
direct censure upon the Gas, or Ether fever, now
so prevalent in our city. We have already express
sed entire disapprobation of this custom, which
so many Of our citizens have fallen into, Of making
themselves ridiculous by procuring temporary
suspension of reason, ofbecoming bEutes pro temp;
but now have to regret that in two or three in
Isances within our knowledge, this suspension has
not been temporary Insanity, which the inhaling
the Ether at first produced, has continued, and we
learn still battles the skill of the ply siclan--le the
young and thoughtless be advisedor let the Apoth-
ecares prevent as far as they these indscreons,
by refusing to furnish the means for ntoxication.
The opinion loo generally prevails, that because
Ether is used medicine, il cannot do injury in
small quantities-the difference between receiving
it upon the lungs and upon the stomach is very
great. Phil U. s. Gazette.

EFFECTS OF ETHER BY INHALATION

Il found in a state OF almost profound stupor from
the inhalation Of Ether. The heart and lungs were
greatly oppressed--and to appearance the energies
of both mind and body were nearly extinct After

(Which was not until the evening of the 2isU she
complained of great pain of the head--whch was
relieved by free cuppng-On the 22d she began to

energetic treatment been pursued, she could NOT
have survived. This is the most alarming case

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION.-It was not,
that we know Of, until within few months past, that
the Methodiss held meetings in this place, for the
worship OF God in their own peculiar custom. Their
little society assembled for few times in quiet and
undisturbed manner; but the fact OF this spread,
and all eager visit them, not tor the purpose
of Joining in their devotions nor from regard of
their Creator, but for purposes which they do not
blush TO own were OF contrary nature. There was
la noueIty to behold and this could not last long. Gu
rosity once satisfied and it is the companion Of vice
ard even crime. SO were the hundreds who visited
the Methodist meetings actuated. Whilst the most
deyout holiness was for while seemingly within The
house, aperlect chaos prevailed without The num-
Der Of the curious vlsants increased, and we began
to hear it whispered that this one and that one was
converted. The matter now began to wear differ
ent aspect; there were mprecations from some, and
from others ridicue, mockery, feigned pity, and
very few who did not anmadvert in some shape. 10
several instances, where some young women were
what is termed " converted,o they were actually
l1chipped by their parents and guardians and forbid
going to the meeting again. "Oh! shame, where
is thy blush 7'' We have understood that on dscov-

hour could not be more particularly exa-
mined. The exercises OF the day were
pleasantly closed by several original ora
tons delivered by young gentlemen on
moral and political subjects--an exercise
very important in the education oil the
youth Of our country.
So far as our observation extends, few
schools in Virginia are conducted with
more particular attention 10 the moral de-
pertinent OF youth. This sentiment is con-
hrned by a record OF the conduct OF each
student, which is regularly kept by Mr..
Dagg and waslread by him in The presence:
of the trustees and students. This record
is read before the school, weekly, where
merit is commended and vice censured;
