whom she was once barely introduced,
and most imprudently accepted an invi-

where she drank a glass of the water
Immediately after leaving the place,
however, she experienced a dizziness in
the head, accompanied by a sensation OF
faintness, and ives obliged to sit down on
some steps in Court street. A highly
respectable elderly gentleman fortunately
passing, found she was senseless, having
tainted while sitting theie. A physician
was instantly called, but the person who
accompanied the girl was no where TO bt
found, having left when the gentleman
came up. 1t was decided that she hat
taken a large dose Of opium and othe
dlugs--probably by the c%onnivance Q
the soda shop. The Daily Journal says
that several cases Of this sort have occur

CIcaning Whcat for Seed.

A correspondent, in the Ohio Cultiva-
tor, gives the following plan for cleaning
wheat for seed:
After passing the wheat once through
the windmill in the ordinary way, take a
common newspaper of good quality and
place it double overtwo-thirds of the sur
face of the fine riddle, leaving one-third
or about A inches of the front side uncov-
cred. One good tough paper will last
long enough to clean 100 bushels, iftle
grain is not damp.
The operation is as follows. The grain
on falling through the course riddle on
to the paper accumulates a certain guam
tity before it will begin to fall over the
margin of the paper; by this means the
the cookie is carried forward so as to fall
on the front screen, and thus have a
chance to run tile whole length of it, and
is more likely to fall through, and while
the chess and white caps, being lighter
than the wheat. as they fall over the mar
gin Of the paper are mostly blown out in
front of the mill, and the chess that is
blown out runs the whole length of the
screen and seldom escapes alling through,
Care must be taken to give the riddle It's
proper inclination, and the mill mus
stand level so that the grain will fal
evenly over the margin of the paper.
To farmers whose grain is foul, would
say, clean your wheat for seed twice &C
cording to the above plan; and ifthere il
an occasional grain of cookie in it, pas
through your fields next summer wher
the plant is in blossom and little labo
will eradicate it.

FotLowING THE PREscRIPTIoN.-A
respectable German of Philadelphia,
some time ago. twice took %laudanum, at
short intervals, apparently with the de-
sign to destroy his life. but on both occa-
sions his stomach was pumped ont, and
the man restored. The second time the
physician was called in, he'remonstrsted
with the pretended suicide on the folly
of his conduct, and told him he did it only
to worry his wife. But that if he really
wanted to kill himself, he could do 1t
most efectually by blowing his brains out
with a we'll charged pistol. There would
then be no after-claps.
The surprise and modification OF the
Doctor, however, were great when
about two weeks after the wife again
made her appearance at his office cx'
claiming. "Well, Toctor, he's tone it
lakes tone it."
"Done what" hastily inquired the
Doctor. 49,.
"Vy, he's tone shust as you tolt him
he blowt his prains out mid a bistol sinus
now. and he's kill dis time"
Which turned out TO be the fact.-M Mo-
