For the Recorder.

Ma. HEARrr: The following circum-
stance which has come 10 my knowledge,
forcibly illustrates the presence Of mind
and fertility Of resources which (some
iimes) characterize the gentle sex. II
you think il worthy Of notice, you may
give il TO your readers.
A little boy between two and three
years ofage. while playing with a suspen-
der buckle in his mouth, accidenly got
il so far down that il stuck in its throat,
and produced great pain and distress.
The mother Immediately ran from the
house. wringing her hands, and scream.
ing that her child was dying. Her hus-
band was absent, and the child was left
with IFS grandmother, who Immediately
seized him and attempted 10 reach The
buckle with her finger; but not succeed
ing, she ran to her chest and getting an
iron knitting needle, stuck'ihe end into a
crack in the door and bent il so as 10
make hook, which she thrust down his
throat, and after two or three attempts
caught the buckle and pulled il out; thus
very quickly relieving the child from a
situation becoming every moment more
painful and difficult Of relief. IL more
persons, especially ladies who are heads
Of families, would in like cases Of emer.
gency and alarm, initiate the grandma
Their instead Of the mother, how much
pain and distress might be relieved, and
how many heavy Doctors bills avoided.
