CHLOROPORM I!

nR. FARWELL, DENTIST, since he began to
~ employ Chlorofom in his practice, has been
literally thronged with patients, who are having
useless and troublesome teeth extracted, and their
mouths prepared fol the insertion Of new and useful
teeth, many Of whom would never have had sufii'
cient courage to submit to the operation but for
this safe and etectual means of producing insensi
biity to pain. Within the four weeks past, he has
extracted between three and four hundred teeth
where he has used Chloroform. mo extra charge

The SMILES OF INFANTs.--lniunis only
a month old are often seen to smile IN their
sleep. DR.. Beaiiie says, 81 have heard good
women remark, that the innocent babe is
then favored with some glorious vision
But tina, babe should have visions or
dreams, before i, has ideas, can hardly be
imagined. This is probably the effect, not
of thought, but Of some bodily feeling, or
merely of some transient contraction or ex-
pansion OF the muscles. Certain il is, that
no smiles are more captivating And Pro.
whence no doub, intended them as sort OF
silent language to engage our love- even as,
by its cries, the infant Is enabled to awaken
our pity, and command onr protection"

DouGHFAcEs.-Mr Root, Of Ohio, in re-
cent speech in the House Of Representatives,
said =
snow, sir, can respect man who was born,
and educated and resides in the midst of slave
ny, though he be in favor of extending that in,
stituton into our newly acquired territory and
when he claims that it is the right of the slave
holders to carry and hold their slaves there,
though differ with him in opinion, ! can be-
leve him sincere and honest. But for man
born, educated and residing in free State, and
protesting anti-slavery sentiments, to chop about
on the eve of election, and pander to me slave
power in the miserable hope of political advance
ment, Is to deserve the name by which he should
ever after be known, dougltaee Judas iscariot
was a gentleman compared with such a man, be-
cause when he had reflected on the enormity of
his crime, he had the grace to 60 out and hang
himself"

THE OLD WoMAN's RACE WITH A Loco
MoTIvE.-In n cottage not very far from the
well known village of Ecclefechan, which can
boast of more bridges than even the metropolis
itself, there resides guide wife who is now in
her 92d or esd year. and is able, notwithstand-
ing, to read without the aid Of spectacles, and to
use her legs with more vigor than many of her
Juniors by couple score of years. From her
cottage she commands a view of the Caledonan
railway for nearly five miles, and often amuses
herself with watching the trains careering along,
specializing on the unco changes which have tax
en- place since the days of her girlhood. While
discussing these matters the other day, she made
a bet of a crown piece, with her son, that she
would start from her house, which is three quar-
tiers Of mile from the line Of railway, as soon
as the mail train came in sight, and reach an &C
commodation bridge which it crosses, before the
train came. The proposal agreed to, she Killed
up her pettcoats as soon as the locomotive show
ed its fiery nose, and away she ran, three
fourths Of mile against four and three quarters;
but for the one a very elderly pair of, legs, for
the other the steam steed rushing along with
more than the velocity of the race-horse. For
once, however, even steam was too slow, and,
with wind in very fair order, the monagenarian
gained the bridge, ran below and back again,
ere the ponderous train whizzed above the arch
During her race, she met young female ac-
quaintance, who wished to speak with her. ~

tempted to do, but soon found that she had bel
lows to mend, and was forced to give in. The
winner went home triumphantly, pocketed the
stakes with great gusto, and was so little the
worse for her exertions that she offered to run
the same distance against her son, who, after the
specimen he had lust had of his mothers power
