DEATH FROM SWALLOWING A GOLD
RING

A young married lady OF this city, (says
the Baltimore Patriol,) died suddenly on
Thursday last, from the above cause. II
appears that aboet seven years ago, whilst
being addressed by the yoang gentleman
who aflerwGrd became her hasband, she
in playful mood, pat gold ring in
her noMh, which she unfortunately swaI.
lowed by aeceident, and lodged in her
throat, where il remained in spite Of sur
gica skill, causing at intervals much pain
and uncasness. On the night Of her
death she was sitting in her room, when
of sudden, she experienced strangling
sensation. She Immediately arose, and in
attempting to walk, felt herself reclining.
She seized hold of The bed post, and maxi
ing some noise, attracted the attention of
her husband. On seeing him come to her
aid, she made another effort, disengaged
herself from the bed-post, and falling into
the arms Of her husband, expired from
strangua,lon.

They were effected 10y DIR. MAYS, of yir.

more remarkable case was n servant

PUBLIC SCHOOLS n VERMONT.

Gov. Slado in his annual repor, makes
an Interesting synopsis Of The number Of
districts, where the free school system pro.
vailed. There were l59 towns returned
enhancing 500 school districts. They
contained IN lsI3, 25,S74 families, Ca
$50 children between the ages Of and ;,
and 80 ,6j5 children who attended school
in said year that schools were taught by
male teachers, 1896 months, and by fe,
male teachers 69s78 months that there
was paid to the former for wages, sol, ).
06T IS, aud to the latter S33 COS SO a.
mounting to 4,673 and that there had
been received by those districts within said
year, Of PlsbIc money, the sum Of, 500.
800 81.
II results from these data, that 10 per
cent Of the children between 4 and Is,
DID not attend the Common Schools = Ga
portion Of these doubtless attend select
Schools y and the average monthly wages
OF Tie male teachers Was sl3 II, and OF
female teachers 81 so; tina, the nveraac
number of months, taught in each district
by teachers Of both sexes was six, and the
average number Of children tha; attended
school IN each district 20; and that the
amount paid to teachers was equal to 81 81
10 each scholar taught.
IL furthermore appears that the PoPn'a,
ton OF the towns from winch returns have
been received was IN le4o, 1898; and
that the amounts paid to teachers others
than those Of Select Schools, IN the whole
State, assuming the returns received, and
the population IN the towns returned and
the population Of The State, ms the bass OF
the calculation, is Sl2s 900 per annum.
