cHLoRoFoRM in spAsMs.

This popular agent in relieving pain
has produced serious consequences, re-
sulting in death, in many parts Of the
country, generally however from an i'm.
prudent use made of it. Lately ii has
been used with great success in
curing child of convulsions. For
more than three hours previous to its use,
the child was convulsed with spasns, and
on the application to its nostriIs of sponge
containing few drops of Chloroform re-.
lief was perceived in about three minutes.
After waiting q short time the sponge was vas
again applied to the nostrilss when in
aboat two minutes the conyulsions en-
tirely ceased. The child passed into a
quiet sleep, and there was no return Of
convulsions: Il was recovering under
the usual course of treatment. S

aaEEHs11aaiflSs aEH1aaiiflS;ss OF 1T. CANTEY..
JUDGE WITHERs.

Ha Ihe ColumDia Telegraph OF the 10Th
contains On account Of the proceedings of
the Bar of that town in honor Of Judge
WlTHERs. A meeting was previously
held, Of which Mr.. w. F. DESAussuRE
was Chairman, and resolutions offered by.
Mr.. JAS. D. TRADEwsLL were unani.
mously adopted. On the last dny Of the
term, Mr.. DeSaussure rose in Court and
addressed the Judge on the subjec, of the
resolutions, expressing the high apprecia-
ton of the Bar in regard to his judicial
conduc, and their firm conviction that his
elevation to the bench would realize the
truest hopes of his friends and those who
desired it. He alluded to the considera-
ton that the power, of the State finally
resides in the judiciary department as the
expositors Of the laws, and in whose con-
troll were the life, liberty and property Of
the governed, in their application of them
to indiyiduals. Hence the anxiety of the
public on the accession of new Judge
to the Bench 70 know that 'sall is well'.
He spoke of the courtesy which had thus
far marked the judicial administration of
his Honor and finally concluded by re-
requesting the entry Of the resolutions on
the journals of the court.
The resolutions were highly compli-
mentary to the Judge, who, when Mr..
DeSaussure resumed his seat, addressed
the Bar in reply. He ayowed the graft
fication he derived from their favorable
judgment, declared himself conscious
that he was unworthy of the strong ap-
probation. conveyed in their, language,
and spoke Of his warm personal friend
ship for each and every member of the
bar with whom he had had the pleasure Of
an intimacy. He mentioned that in that
town he had obtained tie elements Of his
education, that he stood before his masters
in the law, and therefore placed pecu.
liar value on the appreciation of that bar,
that there he learned to love morality and,
he.hoped, in some degree to practise it,
that from members Of that bar he had
learned neycr-fading-iesson, to admire
the dignity, the propriety and the un-
swerving integrity which should belong
to professional life. He could not be ex-
pected to receive unmoved such tribute
from his preceptors and exemplars. In
conclusion, he remarked that their gen
erosity inspired him with good resolution,
requested them to excuse him for deciin-
ing 10 have the proceedings entered on
the minutes Of the Court, and repeated
that he was deeply grateful for this vol
untary mark Of their regard,

last, the 18th inst, was severely cold !. A
planter friend informs us that milk was
frozen on that night, and that, had the

was, the soilwould have been frozen much
deeper and considerable damage done to
to the recently planted and spron,iug

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH WOMEN
The American girl at eighteen is one Of
the most beautiful of living beings, but at
thirty she is passe. AT forty the English
woman is in her prime. Whence comes
the differentiation their respective hab-
its Of living. The American woman lives
in hot houses and takes very little exer-
else abroad, and when she does, she is i'll
protected agar ST the weather. The En-
glsh woman rides, walks, practices arch.
cry and other exercises in the open air,
and is always properly clad to meet the
exigencies Of the weather, Hence her
beauty is perennial bloom. One is n
hot house plant that withers on exposure,
the other hardy tree that fourishes in
every phase Of weather.
WONDERS OF ARr.-Phere is a man in

caoutcbouc, and palate and both ears of
the same substance, as well as large
part of the abdomen. We learn that he
was formerly employed in supplying

sion Of the boiler wns most horribly mu-
tilated. DR.. Kemble succeeded, almost
by miracle, in saving islife, and made
him what he now is-almost an artificial
yet a breathing man.
