FROM LATE LONDON PAPER.

Restoration after hanging Dr..
Glover, surgeon, in Doctors Com
mons, London, relates the case of "a
person who was restored to life, after
twenty minutes hanging, & continued
in good health for maB years after.
The principal means used to restore
this man to life, were opening the
temporal artery and the external jugu
lar, rubbing the back, mouth and neck 9,
with quantity of volatile spirits and
oil administering the tobacco clyster
by means of lighted pipes, and strong
trlctions of the legs AMI arms. This
course had been continued for about
four hours, when anincision was made
into the wind pipe, and air blown
strongly thro' canular into the lungs
About twenty minutes after this, the
blood at the artery began TO run down
the face, and slow pulse was just
perceptible at the wrist. The frictioDs
was continued for some time longer,
his pulse became mere frequent, and
his mouth and nose became irritated
with spirits of salammoniac, he opened
his eyes. Warm cordials were then
administered to him, and in two days
he was so well as TO be able to walk
eight miles.

Alabama, the wonder OF the south,
still goes on to increase in population.
A Huntsville paper says-By the re-
iurns from 81 counties in tins state, &
by estimating the increase in the seven
counties from which no returns have
been received in the same ratio, it
appears that the population Of this state
amount to 230,284 souls
Inl817, Alabama territory contain
ed a population of about $4,000. The
state constitution was adopted in 1919;
and, in 1920, the population was l29,
227, of whom 1874 were slaves.
There is, probably, no portion of the
world, of similar extent, which can
exhibit such an astonishing rapid in
crease OF population, produced by the
voluntary emigration Of enterprisIng
individuals. Niles Register.

In looking over this table, one may be
surprised 10 see the vast disproportion
| between states at the south and west re-
presented by natives of the north, and
northern states represented by natives of
The south or west. None of the New
England States have Representative in
Congress, born ont New Eng land; New
York has 70 New-England men, l8
New-Yorkers, Virginisn, Carolinian,
! Scotchman, and Welshman; New
Jersey is wholly represented by its own
natives, as are the other middle states in
general; the southern states, particularly
Georgia, exhibit much variety 10 this re-
spect; The three members from louisa
ma, were born respectively in Maryland,
Ncw-York and Connecticut; Kentucky
and Tennessee are represented princl-
pally by natives of Virginia and Penn
sylvania; and the other western states
send many natives of the middle and nor
tbern states.
While on this subject, we cannot for
bear offering our humble commendalory
tribute to the paper whence the above in
formation is derived. This singular do
cument is Of itself an evidence of the in.
dus'ry and ability with which the editor
OF the Journal performs his duties. We
are clumsy hands at adulalion; blu, it is
our honest opinion, without any attempt
at ircdmlocutory qualification, that the
National Journal is, unexceptionably, the
most useful paper now published in the
United States. Its reports OF the debates
in Congress are prompt and ample: the
most perfect confidence may be placed
in the accuracy Of those Of official docu
menls with which il abounds; and lis edi.
loria department evinces the utmost
dignity, decorum and urbanity.

liable, if kept within their proper place.
They open more sources Of innocent
amusement, increase DISCUS, for vice, and
enhance the happiness OF friends. But
they must be considered only the embel-

When suitable education becomes a
requisite TO assuming the responsibilities

will be found to take place in society. Fa-

cure its authority
number of students from the University hav-
ing gone to bathe without the CITY, had exposed
themselves to the censure of the laws; but in
stead ofprocccding in such case with modera-
tion or miltlness, body of gendarmes were sent
to march them publicly through the streets and
shut them up IN prison. The authorities of the
University demanded them, but were refused;
and several hundred citizens, with about fifty Of
their fellow students, becoming anxious at the !
detention, assembled at the gate Of the prison.
The magistrates then determined to release theii
prisoners; but sent them out by secret door
