TMURsDAY MORNING. M1ARggl 100 1885,

We yesterday witnessed, at the lee
ture of Professor Macneven's on Gal
vanism, a most extraordinary occur
renee, and one worth recording.
A cat, previously strangled until life
appeared extinct, was laid on the table.
Its neck was not dislocated nor the an
imal heat sensibly diminished, but it
was motionless and apparently lifeless.
One of the wires leading from the
poles of the battery was introduced
into the rectum, the other repeatedly
applied to the mouth. The cat was i'm
mediately thrown into violent convul.
sions, which were renewed at each ap-
plication, the eyes also opened and
Shut. In about one minute the animal
stretched out its paw and began to re-
spire; it soon breathed strongly, and in
ten minutes walked about the ROOM
From the complete success Of this ex-
pertinent, we may justly infer, that
were this powerful agent speedily ap-
Piled, in cases of suspended animation,
the most happy results would ensue. L.

POETRY.
From the Boston Spectator.

From the Boston Spectator.
Come from thy home in the far blue sky,
Spirit of beauty, and love, and song!
Hang on thy airy pinions high [throng;
When the dreams Of my hayward fancy
Give them brighter and gayer hue,
Shape them to forms of finer mould,
Fairer than ever painter drew,
Brighter than all the gods ofold.
Lead them to that delicious cline
Where the Anana swells and glcws;
Lay me beneath the Towering lime,
Where the dew in drops ofnectar flows;
There let the visions of beauty rise,
And float in fairy dreams away,
Bright as their own unclouded skies,
And rich as the parting light ofday
Bring to my heart the melting tone,
Once so sweet to my lingering ear;
Tho the days of youth have flown,
Still that tone to my heart is dear:
Now it seems to murmur by,
Soft as the wind in bed of flowers;
Now the falling whispers die
Gone is the dream of my fairest hours
Dimly the visions of beauty fade,
Like the cloud that melts in the evening air,
When its colours vanish, shade by shade,
Til the blue of the sky alone is there:
Ere they have wholly faded throw,
Spirit of beauty! one glance to me,
Bright as the list and fullest glow
Of the setting sun on the golden sea. p.

ICE IN THE NIAGARA.

During the few days of cold weather
and snow lately, the Niagara Riverwas
clogged up with ice so as to raise its
waters from 9 to IL feet. This is an
uncommon event. For 90 years pre-
ceding the year 1909 it is said never to
have closed but since that period, it
has closed four times, the present in
elusive. During the stoppage it pre-
sented a singularly grand appearance.
The ice appeared on its unusually broad
surface in cakes 80 and 40 feet thick,
piled in zigzag situation, and some of
it being thrown up by the force Of the
heavy current 10 and Is feet, present
ing as far as the eye could trace it, the
appearance of waters frothing under
heavy commotion. During its height,
the store house of Mr.. Robt. Hamilton
in Queenston, u. c. was lost, and a
steamboat which lay on the stocks
building by that gentleman, was bare
ly saved. The store houses on this
side stood, although several feet inun-
dated. After day or two the ice De
came so solid that teams passed with
safety, and at Youngstown, near the
mouth of the river, some accommoda-
ting persons erected Grocery upon 1t,
near the middle of the stream, that the
weary traveller, who, with hypocondri-
ack faithlessness, should be he imagin-
ing all the horrors ofbresking thro' and
being "carried out into the lake." his
flesh food for fishes, and his bones to
lie bleaching on some unknown sands,
might keep up his spirits by stalking
little something to take" and wend
his way to the opposite shore thought
less Of any fatal consequences.

IMPORTANT OPERATION.


A Miss II, of Cincinnati, O.
hio, designing to take large dose OF
common salts, on Monday morning
last, swallowed instead, in a state Of
solution, between and 3 ounces of
salt petre, Nitras Potass8. She was
Immediately made sensible of the mis-
take, by an excruciating pain and dis
tress at the pit of the stomach Her
mother called on all apothecary, living
next door, to enquire her danger, and
what was to be done. He advised to
send instantly for physician, and adj
ministered ten grains Of tartar emetic.
DR.. Smith soon came, and consider
ing her agony, and that the emetic
was little disposed or likely to occasion
an election; he promptly employed his
excellent apparatus, consisting OF a
gum elastic tube & exhausting syringe,
the former Of which he passed thro'
the mouth into the stomach, and with
the latter soon introduced a considera-
BILE quantity of tepid water; which, to-
gether with the solution of salt petre
and tartar emetic, he again extracted.
This process was continued till the
fluid drawn from the stomach was as
tasteless as when thrown into it. The
whole quantity of water employed,
within few minutes, amounted to a.
bout 4 gallons. After the stomach was
thoroughly cleansed and emptied,he in
troduced to ounces OF sweet oil,
and withdrew the tube.
The operation was less painful than
the effect Of an emetic, and proved
completely successful. We have re-
lated the above case with the double OBJ
ject of melting generally TO more eau
ton, and also to recommend the RENE
dy employed.
Salt petre is an article in such COM
mon use, and sonearly resembles Glau-
Der salts in its appearance, that instan-
ces similar in kind, though happily
not in degree, often occur. A small
quantity is generally followed by long
continued disorder of the stomach, and
is frequently fatal. 1t should never be
laid by without the paper enclosing it
being marked, in legible characters,
SALT PETRE. [Cincin. Emporium.

The British Traveller of the goth of

of respect to the United States:
"Nearly half century has elapsed
since the memorable declaration OF in
dependence by the thirteen United
States of America. In that interval,
Europe has been convulsed, to degree
threatening the dissolution OF society
vet has North America continued to
flourish, and increase, with a progress
sive march of improvement and pros
perity until she may Justly claim to
rank as a power Of the first class. 10
the establishment of her independence,
the celebrated Marquis de la Fayette, Is
known to have contributed essentially.
Actuated by an enthusiastic ardor for
liberty, he devoted his person and his
fortune to the cause of the U. States,
and participated in their triumph. At
ter an absence of more than forty years,
La Fayette revisits the United States
in every part Of which he has been
received with honor, respect, and gra-
titude. But the gratitude OF America,
has not been restrained within the cold
limits of barren thanks, a sum equal
10 45,oool. sterling, with one complete
and entire township of land has been
voted, by the American Congress, to
/" General La Fayette, in compensation
