THE LETHEON.

Since placing on our first page an interesting
article on the Letheon, or Sulphuric Ether, the
following statement has been handed us. The
Sherbrooke Gazette gives an account of very
successful surgical operation in its vicinity, I'M
der the influence of the Letheon.
SURGICAL OPERATION. Dr. C. C Arms of
Waterbury, assisted by Doct. Z. M. Rublee of
this place, recently performed an operation upon
Miss Jane Abbot of Waterbury, for the removal
Of cancer of the breast. Miss Abbott was pre-.
vailed upon to inhale the sulphuric and choric
ether as prepared by Mr.. Kllbourn, Dentist, OF
this place. The operation required about thirty
minutes. What appears singular or worthy of
remark is, that while the tumor together with
portion OF the breast, was carefully removed
by DIR, A., his patient frequently assured him
that she experienced not the slightest pain, al
though she appeared perfectly conscious of W hat
was going on, and was not IN the least stupified
by the gas, but on the contrary appeared unuslI-
ally talkatlye. 1t is the opinion of DIR. A. that
the gas, when brought in contact with the deli
cate nerves Of the lungs by inhaling, produces in
all persons, similar, il not the same effect that
alcohol produces when brought in contact with
the delicate nerves of the stomach,-in some
tenperaments greatly exhilarating the brain, and
in others supplying that organ, but IN ali sus-
pending sensation in greater or less degree
The Doctor says the same prostratlon follows
the use of the gas as that of alcohol, but its use
Is more dangerous nasmuch as it operates SOON
81, ana with more energy upon the brain through
.he i'euium oil the nerves of the lungs, than al
coho can through the nerves Of the stomach, and
tnus pioauces IN some cases a state known to
physicians by The term Asphyxia of the brain.

A Foolish War

1t is related that in the year 1905 some soldiers
of Modena stole bucket belonging to Bologna,
whence came bloody war between the two
states Henry the King of Sardinia aided the
Modenese, and was captured in battle: ring OF
gold that would encircle Bologna (seven miles in
circumference was offered for his release, but
refused, and after twenty years Imprisonment he
died. How foolish say you. So be it: butjust
remember that if President Polk had not persist
ed in making Mr.. Sidel a Minister instead of q
Commissioner, there would have been no wal
with Mexico.

The Stage Accident.

On Thursday Of last week Mr.. Smith was
buried at Haverhill; on Wednesday the rest of
the dead were consigned to the tomb at Royal
ton with every mark of respect, and on the same
day a gentleman of Montreal ard his sister, (both
of whom were injured, the former seriously,)
were able to come to this place and have since
gone on to Montreal. 1t is now said that all who
persisted were smothered in the snow, being
pressed down by the weight Of the wagon, and
that others barely escaped the same fate. There
are rumors also that the proprietors of the stage
must divide the responsibility of this accident
with the turnpike company; but in the absence
of reliable information, and in anticipation of a
legal investigation perhaps, we do not deem it
proper to detail the various statements eiyen.-
Suffice it to say, that it IS a terrible warning to
stage propretors to provide prudent and reliable
drivers, and to corporations TO guard every dan
gerous part of their roads. We have been re-
quested to say, in order to correct any misappre.
henson of our last weeks account, that the acct
dent occurred on White River, below Royalton,
and to the Royaiton and Lebanon stage.

UNPATRIOTIC.

The Vermont Patriot has received new light;
light apparently reflected from very poor Wick:
the Wilmot provso was not a sine qua non it
would be unpatriotic, quoth the Patriot, to vote
against the three million bill. In other words,
it would be unpatriotic to refuse to allow Mr..
Polk to buy territory teithout restriction as 10
slavery Well, we suspected before that the
Patriots affection for the Wilmot proviso was
not very deep or abiding. But what will the
Patriot say of Mr.. Dillingham;, who ,pithheld his
Uote on the three million bill, after the proviso
was rejected? Was that patriotic Please
enlighten the locofocos on this point.

The loss of the steamer is estimated at ST.
100000.
The number Of passengers saved is reported
at20; of the officers and crew 50-making 10
in all. The Diario extra says that the ships
company numbered SO, and that there were So
passengers l45 in all. This would give Ga as
the number Of the lost. But by accounts re-
celved via Charleston, there were SO passengers,
and the company numbered 02-l50 IN all. IF
this account is correct the number of the lost
must have been H. The names Of the lost will
be ascertained, we presume, at Havana, where
there is probably register Of the passengers.

To the Governor of Louisiana
The city of New Orleans seems to be in as
great fermentation as when in May last Gen.
Taylor was reported to be surrounded at Fort
Brown. They say Louisiana will directly send
forward her two regiments.

reached us, in which an officer of rank, who was
with Gen. Taylor on the 18Th ut., says: 4" He
Gen. Taylor feels most severely the withdraw
al OF all his regular force to the sea coast, and
though left with nothing but volunteers, had or
ders from Washington 10 advance, which he
would obey, even it he could not muster more
than thousand men and the whole RESPONSE

be destroyed or captured" -IhM u S. Gaz.

RIOT IN MONTREAL. The election in Mon
treal on the LIST utino for Charter officers was
attended with the usual riots which are wont to
disgrace that city upon such occasions. The
force of the rioters Is said to have been directed
against the liberal party; the polls were assault
cd and other outrages committed. The stores
were closed through fear Of the mob, and the
troops were called out, but rendered no service
in dispensing the rioters.

The Starving Irish.
correspondence of the N. E. Puritan.

LONDON, FEB. Is, l847.
The British people of all denominations have
shown a very lively sympathy Tor the pershing
people of Ireland. Committees have been ap-
pointed to collect contributions, and they have
succeeded in raising large sums. On this sub
ject the religious sucielies are very active. The
Irish Evangelical Society, the Irish Congrega-
tIonal Union, and the Baptist body have raised
some thousands and an informed the Wesley
ans have resolved to raise 100000. This mail
will bring you an account of the loss of a bill to
employ the people in constructing railways in
lreland-a measure which would have been most
beneficial, but which unfortunately the Govern
ment felt themselves called to resist. In despite
of all that can be done by private and public eff
forts land the latter are on scale which involves
an enormous expendture) there can be little
doubt that million of people will be swept off
the soil Of ireland by famine and fever before
next harvest. What an appalling thing to hap
pen in land among the most fertile in Europe
which last year produced abundance of food for
its inhabitants! Is it not a melancholy thing
that the benevolent designs of Providence should
be thus counteracted by the neglect and misgov-
eminent Of those in power?

Loss of the Steamer Tweed.

The particulars of the loss of the British
steamer TWEED have been translated from the
Havana papers for the Journal Of Commerce.
1t seems that she struck the rocks of Alacian, on
the morning of FeO. IL, in mild night, and i'm
mediately went to pieces.
The cabin first flied in and in it persisted ma
ny in their berths, among whom were our inesti-
mlbe countrymen, Mr.. Escudero and his wife,
The deck panks continued floating for some
time, and upon them were many of the psssen-
gers and crew, who sought aid from God and
struggled for dear life.
There were scenes of desperation which
amidst walllngs and piercing cries cannot be
described, even by those who were present and
participated in them. Some threw themselves
into the water, others blew their brains out with
pistols, others cut their own Threats, while others
saw in plank the hope OF safety. BY little and
lutte the extensive platform which formed the
deck gave way, and then some were swept off
by the waves, and all struggled to swim some 80
yards from where the ship went to pieces, to
where they could set their feet on land. Never,
never was twilight 50 long. When at length the
morning rose, little groups were standing here
and there wounded, naked and hungry. Some
were approaching others, and beheld the untor-
tunate seamen mounted on the wheel house, and
making signs Tor help, which it was impossible
TO render, as there was no boat or other means of
aiiordlng assistance. They persisted!
Those who were on shore were only able to
bring a barrel OF flour, another of bran, and ii
little vinegar. A paste made Of this strange
compound was their only alln,ent. They were
ashore without PROVISIONS without help, and ex-
posed TO death some from exhaustion, some from
discoungemenI, and others from hunger and
thirst; but the Emilio made her appearance, and
her whole crew rushed into danger, performing
acts worthy OF general applause. The ship
wrecked persons greeted them with sweet tears
Of acknowledgment, as friends and preseryers.

From Africa.

From LIBERIA. The National Intelgencer
publishes the following extract of letter from
an officer Of the United States Navy dated
Monrovia, Dec. ~, 1876
This Colony seems to be in as good condi-
ton as usual. We have rumor that England
and France have agreed to withdraw most of
their cruisers, and adopt system OF genera col
onlzaton of the coast. An English soop of war,
the Favorte, Capt. Murray, has called ~ pom Gov.
Roberts, to know the present relations of the
Colony to America, and TO the parent Society
also, TO know If the Colony will make a Com
mercial treaty with England, in case of its de-
claring its independence; and, finally, to ask
an exact description of the territory now owned
or claimed by the Colony on this coast. You
will perceive that these are important inquiries.
Governor r. will not do any thing rashly, and
Com. Read will do whatever is required for the
interests Of American Commerce on this coast.
"lf the goods for the purchase Of the territory
are not now on their way hlther, they shoul4 be
fastened as much as possible. If England or
France obtain any territory between this place
and Cape Palmas, the continuity OF territory will
be destroyed, ard those powers will not give up
an inch without such commercial advantages as
the colony will not like TO grant,
"Probably one of our vessels of war will re-
main here as long as it will be of any service"
The Colonization Society sent the early part
of last December large and well selected sup
ply of goods for the purchase of territory. 1t is
therefore probable that before this time the Col
ony has secured all the points along the coast
which can at present be obtained.

From the Maine Farmer.
Rules for Milking.

Milking cows is generally performed in
Maine, wherever l have been, by men or
boys. The women, however, do it, or assist
in doing it, on some farms; and on most of
chem in busy seasons.
Having MIXED, more or less, every season
since was ''wee bit" boy, and having seen
it done so poorly as to injure the COW, pro-
pose to give few rules for it, which | have
learned from my own and others experience,
They nre as follows:
!. Have good stool to sit on.
2. Have your finger nails pared short and
smooth.
3. Sit down and clean the bag, and wet
Tho tcats with the first stream of milk.
/. Then set the pull under, and milk as
.;'st as you conveniently can-the f,ster the
better. A cow will give moro milk when
MIXED fast than when MIXED slow.
s. Milk as though the ;cats We're full to
,lto last, otherwise it makes them long to
b "atrip' in little while.
G Never scold or strike a COW for run
nIng about the yard or kicking. 1t generally
does moro hurt than good.
7. Ifsho runs about, have pnlcnco-talk
kindly to her--and tic her up, rs a last re-
sort, till she is not afraid.
2. IF she kicks, sit forward hronough for
COM lnee to come forward of hor leg, and
5u' oHnUot easily hurt you or spill the milk.
=. Il she switches you with her tail in ely
a","2 iasLcn it by parting The hair and tying
II ."rad her leg. Use Il string, ftho hair is
.o. Ing enough.

and what was somewhat surprising in n iml
oftho law, nvCrsc to encouraging litigation
Ono day II client came to him in n most
terrible rage;
"LooIl hero, Squire said he, whnt Gre

gone and sued me for the money for n pair
Of boots owed HIM"
"Did tho boots suit youf"

"Oh! ten dollars will do"
sis that all? Well, here's n X, so go n

Our lawyer called next morning and asked
him what he meant by commencing legal pro-

"Why ," said he, 81 kept on sending 10

Certain, Squire, you think so,and darn
ed glad TO get it," was the answer.
So the lawyer iorked over one V, and kept
the other.
In II few days his client came along and
asked him how he got on with his case.
