! DANGERS OF CHLoRoFoRM.-Patrick Muir
ply, laborer, died in the hospital, New York
city, on Monday, during the removal of fstu-
Ia, while under the influence of chloroform.-
In order TO ascertain the cause Of his death a
post mortem examination was made by DIR.
Wood, in the presence of several eminent ply
sicians. This examination left it doubtful
whether the death of deceased had been caused
by chloroform OF occurred from disease of the
lungs, which the deceased was then laboring
under. But DIR. Wood states that where
there exists in the lungs any undue excite
ment, it will cause death and that at all times
chloroform should be used with great caution,
although he had never known of persons be-
ing injured by it. But in cases where the
brain, lungs or heart, are diseased, or pre-
disposition TO disease exists, it should not be
used. lie also says that disease of the lungs
sometimes exists when there are no outward
signs, and that fstula tends to conceal the ex-
istence OF such diseases.

HOW TO CATCHHA\VKS

The following ingenious method for destroying these
pests to the farmer, is given by S. Webb Esq, of
Waldo county, Maine, in late number the Belfast
Republican,:
Erect pole twelve or fifteen feet high in place
where there will not be anything else for them light
upon, and up Common fox trap on which they
will alight strong rat-trap will answer the purpose
by tying ii to the poll lenglhwse. with the jaws raised
above the end the pole being little leaning so that the
jaws will not fall together. When hawk is taken,
tie it on the ground the pole, and its will be
in the trap in short time. The is for the
hawks reappear, and if farmers do wish to have
their chickens destroyed by them, they will do well to
adopt this method Of putting stop their depredatons
Printers in the United States by giving this an inser-
ton, will circulate valuable information"
