DEATH FROM USING CHLoRoFoRM New
Haven Register states that Mrs. Emily Norton,
wife of Mr.. Hart z. Norton, of Norwalk, having
been afflicted for some years with disease Of
the jaw and cheek, requiring the extraction of
several diseased teeth came to that city with the
purpose of having the operation performed by
her former medical attendant, Mr.. Park She
had last year taken chloroform with happy effect
under his care, and now insisted upon having it
administered preparatory to the operation. She
was allowed to inhale the chloroform in n very
small quantity for several minutes, and almost
while she was saying that she felt no effect from
it, and was asking for its more free administra-
ton, the doctor noticed the pulse suddenly to
fail. Within three or four minutes from the
time this change was noticed, all signs of life
were gone, and the most vigorous effort to resus-
citate the woman proved unavailing. The guam
uty OF chloroform used was much less than is
commonly administered in surgical operations,
and the operator is regarded as n skilful, judi
cious, and prudent physician. At his request
jury of inquest has been called to make full
and public investigation of the circumstances of
this painful case.

Wing Convention OF virginia.

The Intelligencer of this morning contains the
following:
The Wing State Convention of Virginia met at
Richmond last evening, but had not been perma-
! nently organized ut the hour of our latest nc
| counts from Richmond We learn, however that
the delegates to the convention held caucus on
Tuesday night, Mt which it was resolved to sup
port the nominee of the Wing National Conyen-
ton, whichever of the candidates should be Sc
lected, provided he be an unwavering friend of
the Compromise measures
The Richmond Wing of yesterday morning
speaking in advance of the meeting of the con-
vention, says:
eve anticipate brief and harmonious SEES
sion as there is very little if any, diversity among
the Wings, either as to men or measures. The
preference for Mr.. Fillmore is almost universal
and we presume that preference will be distinctly
avowed. But the Wings are not so welded to
Mr.. Fillmore that they can be content with no
one else. If, upon consultation with their Wing
brethren of the Union, it shall be deemed best to
select another good and true Wing, they will give
to him an ardent support We have not heard O
dissent from this opinion in any quarter"
Our dispatches state that both Mr. Fillmore
and General Scott have number of warm friends
in the convention
We have received despatch which says:
| The very best feeling exists among the mem
bers They appear animated and Jealous in the
cause.
The feeling towards Gen. Scott is quite favora-
ble and his chances are considered good. It is
believed, however, that the convention will ex-
press no preference, and that delegates will be
elected and left untrammelled as to whom they
shall vote for in the National Convention.
