" They hold high carnival"

MEpIcAL.-A very singular private discussion has
risen up in medical circles the recent sudden death Of
Mr. Flemmng. Wehcar that some medical praclliion-
rs who have no, the fear of Dr. Francis, nor Rhnean
der before their eyes, treat the verdict Of the Csreners
Jury with great disrespect That verdict was death
by menta excitement" II is said that the appearance
of the deceased indicated the effects of prussc acid
not mental excitement which never can destroy life
suddenly Prussic acid acts on the nervous system
with the rapidity Of stroke of lightning BY the
application of this singular acid to the human nerves,
its operation on the vitas becomes like shock of
electricity or galvansm-deslroys the whole nervous
system united with the brain, and leaves not trace
behind except a slight dscoleration at the point OF
contact, resembling the traces left by lightning.
This is very curious question in medical science,
and we wish some competent mndical man, above
the in,rgues and hush money of the day, would give
us his opinion of prussic acdts power TO destroy life
and the facts taken on the Coroners jury. !, is q
question Of deep science.

ASorHER DowspAlL-Loss LIFE.-A little
before one O'clock in the afternoon Saturday, the
inhabitants of William street. 10 Maiden lano
were thrown into CONSERVATION by the sudden falling
OF house that was erecting IN the first mentioned
street.
The walls of this building were run up about six
months ago. but from some cause other il was left
untin shed until lately, when workmen were employ
cd to competeit
This is isanother instance of the advantages of lump
ing (as the builders technically term contracting
build house at a set and determined sun) and shows
the impeross necessity that exists for the framing OF
law to counteract the cupdity Of individuals, and
the ignorance of builders. The walls of this house,
on the side next Liberty street, were so thin, only
half brick thick, as to be utterly unable to sustain
the weight Of the ,imbcrs laid receive the flooring
and to this course is to be attributed the failure of the
structure
By an almost miraculous interposition of Prev
dencc, the fall Of this building took place during the
hour Of dinner; otherwise, what dread ul sacrifice
Of human life and what agony and suffering must,
almost to a certainty havestaken place. As il was
one peor lad named William Egan, whose parents
reside in Elm street. was killed and another lad,
who was within the building with him at the time it
fell, very severely, thous ho' oahs'iou'y hJ5'cu
Let any one reflect for few minutes on this sub
sct and then say what be thought Of the conduct
Of men who put up foe story store standing on gra-
mite columns! with side walls half a brick thick
The Legislature at Albany did indeed pass bill re-
laive TO this subject, whereby il is made the duty Of
the fire wardens TO examine and look after the sta
blity &c. Of buildings erecting within the fire limits.
But this, like many another matter Of Albany sa-
pience, is so loosely warded as to be completely nuga
tory or we might say pernicious, for il throws the
public of their guard, and, under the appearance Of
security opens the door for the entrance Of danger
and destruction.
We shall turn our attention to this subject again

cause that those who net pretty dislike 10 put
themselves dn comparison with the beautiful portraits

where there is one handsomer, we will be sworn there
are six not half SO good looking. In few days we
shall speak OF this collection more fully, and wethlnk

shall not use the pompous tcchncaltes of the art,
nor the cant of criticism. We profess TO have some
