DEATH FROM TAKING WILD CHERRY TREE BARK
We have the facts of the following case from DR.. N.
H. Carey, Of Wayne, in this county, who was called
to the patient but too late her. In March last
Mrs Gerry House, of Wayne, aged about thirty. hav-
ing been unsveIl some three weeks, prepared
strong decociion OF the bark of the wild black cherry
tree (prunus Tnginica) TO which she added few
spoonsfal Of gan and drank about half pint of ii.
She immediately became sick and cOnvused. and died
in about three hours When DIR. Carey arrived she
was nearly dead the pupils Of her eyes were dilaed
to the utmost extent her face exhibited singular dis
tortions, and her breath emitted a strong odor Of
prussic acid.
Il was The acid which is contained in this species
Of the cherry, that caused death. We have seen
calves poisoned by eating freely of the leaves. In
moderate doses this bark is an excellent tonic but in
large, concentrated doses it is dangerous article

SIXTEENTH
ANNIVERS SARY
OF THE
AMERICAN ANTI.SLAVERY SOCIETY.

The Sixteenth Annual Meeting Of the Amer
ican Anti Slavery Society will be held at the
Broadway Tabernacle ON TUESDAY, the Sew
cnteenth of May 1850.
At no moment since tho commencement of
the Anti-Slavery enterprise have the devoted
zeal and earnest efforts Of its advocates been
moro needed than at this. The American Soci-
city stands now as it did at the beginning, the
sole enemies, through all the United States, to
the system of AMERICAN CHArTEL SLAVERY
The magnitude of its work, and tho Importance
of the obstacles in the way of its accomplish
ment arc yearly made more and moro manifest,
as every party and organization that have hoped
to struggle against the SLAvE-PowHR by con-
senting to compromise with it, successfully re.
tire from the contest either gorying in success
full treachery or submitting to shameful defeat
A contest of near twenty years has proved that
the only hopeful issue with Slavery is the de-
mand for the IMMEDIATE AND UNCON-
OPTIONAL EMANCIPATION OF EVERY
SLAVE, and that such consummation can
never be attained so long as VIC maintain a po-
litical UNION WITH SHAREHOLDERS.
The Northern boundary of the slave States is
the same to-day that it was when the American
Society came into existence; its Southern is cx-
tended Westward and Southwark, embracing
vast and fertile territories sufficient to insure its
existence for centuries to come. 1t is some
thing to be thankful and hopeful for that this
extension has not been without a struggle, and
that that struggle becomes daily moro and moro
earnest and determined. 1t will be entirely sue
cessful when the North is awakened to the con-
viction that the ABOLITION OF SLAVERY will
alone determine its extension-that a Southern
and Western boundary will no longer be con-
tended for when its Northern is destroyed.
The ABOLITIONISTS of the American So
cicty alone are devoted to this work. The An
nual return of the Anniversary of their organi-
zation should remind them, each and all, of the
duty they have assumed, and the responsibility
which they have recognized as their own. He
who does tho most to make its action and its
voice the most efficient will have only done the
least he ought to do.
The meetings Of the Society will bc continued,
as usual, for three days. The place Of meeting
will be named in future notices.

1.-THE making it dependent upon any Other
subject.
Mr.. Foote'S motion for select committee
was then laid on the table, temporarily.
In the House., on the 9Th, Mr. Vinton Mt
tempted to get through resolution author
izing the President to detail thirty seamen
aud such officers as he may think proper to
join Mr.. Griunel's expedition in search of
Sir John Franklin, but the attempt was un-
successful. The Slavery question was then
taken up, and Mr.. Wallace of s. c. freed
his mind on that subject. The burden of
his discourse was that the non-Extension of
Slavery is abolition in disguise. Mr.. John
son of KY, followed in speech against
separating the admission of California from
the Territorial question, and pledging Ken
lucky to fight if she is dishonored by North
ern fanatics
MIR. Kaufman tried to get vote of the
House against the movements in New-Mexi-
co for an organization Of that Territory in
dependent of Texas, but failed. Finally
a motion was nude by MIR. Conger Of N. Y.
TO cut down postage to u uniform rate of
cents on paid and OH unpaid letters and to
abolish the Frankng Privilege. The Post
Office Committee promised soon to intro
duce bill TO the same purport, and the sub
ject was then dropped.
On the 9th, MIR. VoLNEY L. HowARD,
formerly OF Mississippi, and now NJ. G.
from Texas, gave the House notice of an
amendment to Mr. McCLERNAND's Slavery
COMPROMISE bill, providing that, if Texas
should not consent to relinquish her claim TO
the better part of New-Mexico, tiien no Gov
ernmem shall be organized in .NsiO-.Merico 10
hare jurisdiction on Ibis side ofthe Rio Grdnde
and if Texas shall consent, ior cash in
hand, TO surrender her claim to New-Mexico, |
then The lao Of 7erds establishing Human
Sduery shOll prevaa in said Territory until The
same shall be admitted into The Union as a |
State This is the coolest of all the prop
ositions yet made by the Slavery propaganda.

FEMALE STUDENTS.

Having long entertained the opinion, that To-
males should have all the privileges of which
tho opposite sex arc possessed, and especially
that they should have every facility for acqui-
ring useful knowledge, and making it available,
and knowing something of the wants of tho
community as now constituted, in regard to the
treatment of disease, have frequently express
cd desire to have them educated as Physi-
clans, and as a consequence have, during tho
past few years, had numerous applicants TO stu
dy, but owing to want of facilities for render
ing instruction as thorough as could desire,
have refused. Now, however, many of the dif.
fculties arc removed, and have determined to
be prepared by the first Of April to give such
advantages as are possessed by few physicians.
l am the more encouraged to do this from the
information just received, that the Medical
School at Cleveland is hereafter to be open to
women on the same terms as to men. Other
schools will no doubt speedily adopt the same
course.
Those desirous to enter upon a course of stu.
dies of this kind under my guidance will please
communicate, by lcttor or otherwise, and all In
quiries shall receive prompt attention.

The SOCIALISTS IN PARrs.-lho triumph Of
the three Socialist candidates in the election n,
Paris, for the National Assembly, has created a
profound sensation all over Europe, and will
again disturb many promising plans which were
being quietly hatchcd at the various reactionary
Courts. The total number of votes given on
both sides, shows the extraordinary importance
attached to the struggle, The registered cleo
tors woro 363,600, and the aggregate of votes
given was 26O, 1873. Carnot, the highest on tho
Socialist ticket, received l32,79H In the pro-
vnccs, the success of the Socialists has been less
complete. Tho vacancies to he filed up were
2S, and they have only secured l8.
AusrRrA.-Exccution arc still going On in
Hungary. A Colonel Hauk has Just been put
to death at Arad lie was one of the editors
of liberal paper called the Constitution, and
the Austrian antipathy to paper and type will
therefore account for his fall. At the same
time Baron Bcrner the Catholic Bishop of Gros-
warden, was sentenced to be hanged, "for yield
ing ready obedience TO the orders of NJ. Kos
suth's Government" This sentence, however,
was commuted to twenty years imprisonment
in fortress. With regard to the refugees, in
telligcnce has been received that Kossuth and
his wife, and fifty eight of his colleagues left
Shumla on the 10th of February, under the
escort for Kutahia in Asia.

Speech OF Senator Chase.


We have read with some care the speech o!
Hon. SALMON p. CHASE of Ohio, in the U. S.
Senate, on the great topic now before the coun-
try. As history of the action of the govern
mcnt on the question of Slavery and its extern
sion, it is exceedingly valuable. The argument
in favor of the Wilmot Proviso is unanswcrable
both as it respects tho rightfulness of the mea-
sure and the expedicncy of exercising it, Mr..
Chase shows, too, conclusively that by the
operation of that clause of the Constitution
which gives the South political power in pro-
portion to the number of the slaves, the course
of the National Government has been constant
ly downward. And yet he is for the continu-
ance of the Union, and compares it to the arch
of heaven, disclaiming all thought that it can
ever decay or fall. The Speech is carefully ela-
borated, fclictously arranged, exhibits good
deal of logical power, and there arc somo pas
sages which may perhaps be termed eloquent; /;
but it has not the moral force and will not stir
the heart like that of Senator Seward. Still,
VIC are glad that Mr.. Chase has lifted up his
voice against the schemes of Compromise which
have befooled so many Northern members of
Congress, and that he stands ready to go to the
very verge of the powers conferred upon the
government to restrict the institution of slavery
within its present limits
