lately in Ensland, The summoning off,

to inhale air, or draw in his breath
strongly, and the lad having done so,
Mr.. Wakeley asked him,
Can you talk now 4
The boy, to the surprise Of The jury,
answered Immediately and slbIy-
'Yes, can, sir, very well.'
This Coroner added, that inhalation
or sslf-inhAtlOn Of lae lungs with air, was

it had been discovered long ago, the fac

few OF them caused it 10 be practissd

has sprung up in tho New York city, un-

'Dr. White, the delegate from Oregon
who intended 10 take passage with
