\ LAMENTADLE MISTAKE IN ADMINISTERING
CHLoRoroRM-In the Massachusetts general
Hospital fatal mistake has occurred in the ad-
ministraton of Chloroform, which is thus noticed
in the Boston Traveller:
1t appears that chloric or sulphuric ether is
used in the hospital, in preference to chloroform.
Three operations were performed on Saturday,
October 30th. The first was for contracted
hand, and the patient was ethersed with what
was supposed to be chloric ether. The operation
was performed, and the patient escaped without
any other inconvenience than slight soreness of
the throat. The second case was a tumor on the
right side of the face During Incorporation the
patient came very near dying, but was saved.
The third case, which proved fatal was that of a
young man about twenty years old, native OF
Ireland, who had his arm entangled in the ma
chinery of bark mill about five days before.
He refused to have it amPutated until mortitica'
ton had taken place. On Saturday the opera
ton was performed- Was carefully
made, and tho operation accomplished in about
two minutes. Just as it was finished it was per-
ceived that his pulse was rapidly failing.-Every
effort was made to save him, but the patient
brcathed his last without an effort or CONFUSION.
Dr. Warren adds
On the following morning an examination OF
the body was proposed, but his friends arriving
objected; and although we urged the Importance
of ascertaining the immediate cause of his death,
they continued to object decidedly.
Immediately after the occurrence of alarming
symptoms in this case it was discovered that the
substance which had been used was not chlorlc
ether, but chloroform, and not till then did we
understand the extraordinary phenomena which
presented themselves in this and the preceding
cases. This patient died with the usual phe'
nomena of choroform poison

Pork Packing i'll the West.

The Cincinnati Gazette says the pork packing
season has how fairly commenced, though it is
evident that packers generally regard present
prices as sufficiently high to induce very cautious
movements. The advance in products in the
Eastern and Southern markets has, however, i'm.
parted more confidence to the trade; although at
the same time it is believed that current rates
for old products are not calculated to affect ma.
terially the future price for ncw and we call the
advance in the price of hogs during the week
fully 25 cents per 100 lbs. In addition to this,
the rates Of premium paid by slaughterers have
advanced and we understand that 80 cents per
head is now o5tanable.. Hogs, therefore, net
holders $500 $40 per 100 lbs. We find that
prices in this market are as usual, considerably
above those paid at other points in the West,
and this will doubtless have the effect to divert
hogs in this direction that were originally nten-
ded for other points.
Our correspondent at St. Louis writes that
packers there are very fearful, and in consequence
of their refusal to accede to the demands of sell
lers, it is probable the number packed in that
city will not exceed $4,000 head 1t follows
from this that there will be an increased business
done at points in the interior; and this so far as
we can Judge from present indications, will be
the case throughout the entire West. As re-
marked on former occasion, the business ofcon-
tracting has this season been carried to great
extreme, not only by packers, butby parties who
are neither hog raisers or pork packers; and some
Of this class of operators cannot get out with less
than Sc, in this market, and rather than submit
to loss at once they will be likely to pack on
their own account, and rely upon future i'm
prevement.
Although the market may be regarded as
opened at SIS 81 a so, it is not by any means
in a settled condition but on the contrary it is
in that peculiar state which renders it almost i'm
possible to say whether the next move will be up
or domn-AA s.lr-ss4J Pu7he eau
tious, and they have good reason to be so. The
movements of last season demonstrated very
clearly that high prices cause great falling off
in consumption, aud as the average value fPro-
ducts, in order to pay for hogs at present prices
must rule high throughout the entire season,
we may expect to e, comparatively light home
consumption, and a very limited export demand;
and in addition to this, there will be as is general
ly supposed, an increase of equal to fifteen or
twenty per cent in the number of hogs as COM
pared with last year.

the one so beautifully recorded respecting mans

behind US, there is-no-way better to secure it,
than by living gracously. A cheerful and BE-

of green remembrances that shall flourish immor-
tally after the present stock is decayed and gone.

New WAY OF CURING AN OLD COMPLAINT
In a small village, at no remote distance from
Preston, resides worthy itincrant vendnr of tea
and coffee, whose better half hasbcen six months
in so very precarious state of health, that her
husband, as well as the doctors, well nigh des-
paired of her convalcscence. At length, howev
er, after all other sanare means had failed, the
good man thought he would try what he could
do either by way ofkilling' or curing. He arrived
at home one evening, after his days journey in
the country, and drawing his chair to the fire,
close to his witcs accosted her as follows
'Jane, love ar ia ony better? ?"
"No, William, dinna think | am"
"Well, Jane, its loikcly aar timets short i this
world together"
"Aye, William, think t. same"
"Well, Jane, ] never did deceive thee, and I'll
not naa met wi woman to-day, i Brother
ton, just loke thee, and towd her tha was loikc-
ly to dee, and hoo wood just suit me, and hoo
said as soon as tina deed l mon let her know, and
hoo ha' me-"
Jane was reused by this announcement and
starting from her seat declared Shed never
dee to suit him nor her."
From that time she has continued to improve
in health and strength daily.

SONG OF THE MOUNTAIN BOY.

FROM THE GERMAN OF UHLAND.
The shepherds mountain boy, ye know
Overlooking castles far below
Tie early sunbeams first / see
Their lingering rays remain with me,
am the mountain boy.
The rivers native home is here,
From springs drink its waters clear.
See! from the. precipice it roars,
My arms receive il, as it pours.
am the mountain boy.
The mountain tops ar. all own,
| hear the storms around me moan,
From north to south hrar them yell
And high above my song they swell;
am the mountain boy.
Though the tempest meath me view,
Yet here stand mid air SO blue
know then. well and bid them not
Disturb my fathers humble cot,
am the mountain boy.
The tower bell once may toll below,
And watch.fres oil these hills may glow,
Then I'll descend the rangs among,
Brandish my sword and sing my song.
am the mountain boy.

CUBA AND Sr. DoMNeo.-The N. O. Plea
yune disbeeves that there is any expedition it-
ting out in this country, except that connected
with the scheme for colonization in st. Domin-
60. The Picayune says:
Out of the suspicion that this project covers
secret organization against Cuba, and that it is
designed to rendezvous only in St. Domingo with
the intention to make the attack from that quar-
ter, has probably arisen the report that there is
also a Cuban enterprise organized. We suspect
there is but One, an that the ST. Domingo is the
only one on foot. One Of these existence of that
there is no room 10 doubt Vessels are loading
and clearing in several Atlantic ports for the
ports in St. Domingo, and the late arriyals from
the island report that they are making extensive
preparations there for the reception of several
hundred men from the United States.
There is no doubt such an arrangements has
been made.

TIE FUTURE OF CASADA.-Papineau, in re-
cent address to the electors of the Montreal Dis
trict, has the following views upon the destiny Of
Canada in connection with the United States {:
sour social condition is very analogous to that
of the American, but very different from that Of
England. Our interests are much greater and
more numerous in America than in England
Colonial interiority cannot and should not last
forever. The separation is question Of time
1t has its indiscriminate time but it is newt
able and certain as death to all men. And
when we ask ourselves what is better for our de-
scendants the struggle and the rivalries of diff
ferent natiunalitics, or their aggregation in this
beautiful confcdcration-there can be no hesita-
ton in the presence of the spectacle which Amer
lean power gives us, who is already The second
among the civilized nations of the earth, and
who, ifshe continues to progress during the next
fifty years to come, as she has doae during the
last half century, will become the most numerous
and powerful nation of the civilized race. What
pigmies would our children be near such colossal
statues? Must we allow them to be exposed to
the danger of an unequal and an unfavorabe
contest? Is it not better to associate them to a
future as glorious us that which will prevail in a
state so vast that many young men of the pre-
sent day viii see it peopled with 5o,ooo,ooo OF
prosperous and enlightened inhabitants"

Discoveries of the last Half Century,

There has been no period since the commence
ment of the world in which so many important
discoveries, tending to the benefit Of mankind,
were made as in the last half century. Some o.
the most wonderful results of human intellect
have been witnessed in the last fifty years
Some OF the grandest conceptions of genius have
been perfected. 1t is remarkable how the mind
OF the world has run into scientific investigation.
ana what achievements it has. effected in that
snort period Before the year 1900 there was
not single steamboat in existence, and the APP
Peatlon OF steam to machinery was unknown.
Fulton launched the first steamboat in 1907
Now there are three thousand steamboats, tra- a..
verslng the waters of America, and the time saw
ed in travel IS equal to Z per cent. The rivers
OF every country in the world nearly, are travers.
ed by steamboats,. In 1900 there was not sin.
gle railroad in the world. In the United States
alone there is now s797 miles of railroad. cost.
ing s236,OOO,O 900 to build, and about $4,000
miles OF railroad in England and America The
locomotive will now travel in as many hours,
distance which in 1900 required as many days
to accomplish. In 1900 it took weeks to convey
Intelligence between Philadelphia and New Or
leans; now it can be accomplished in minutes
through the electric telegraph, which only had
its beginning in ls43. Votasm was discovered
in March, 1900; the electromagnetic in Is2l.-
Electrotyping was discovered only few years
ago.
Hoes printing press, capable of printing 1o,-
600 copies an hour, is a very recent discovery
Gas light was unknown in 1900; now nearly ev-
cry city and town of any pretence are lighted
with it, and we have the announcement Of a still
greater discovery, by which light, heat, and mo-
tive power may be produced from water, with
scarcely any cost. Daguerre communicated to
the world his beautiful invention in 1889. Gun
cotton and chloroform are discoveries but of
few years old. Astronomy has added number
of new planets to the solar system Agricultu-
raj chemistry has enlarged the domain Of knowl-k 7
edge in that important branch of scientific re-
search, and mechanics have increased the facili-
ties for production, and the means of accom-
plshing an amount of labor which far transcends
the ability of united effort to accomplish. What
will the next half century accomplish We
may look for still greater discoveries for the in
teect of main is awake, exploring every mine Of
knowledge and searching for useful information
il every department Of art and industry.
