OBITUARY.

DIED, at his residence near this place on the
Esd. instant, of sudden and brief attack of appo-
plexy, Rev. SAMUEL BUTLER, in the SD year
of his age. The deceased was one amongst the
earliest settlers of this country, where by untring
energy and industry he succeeded in accumula-
ting handsome fortune. Endowed by nature
with a strong and vigorous mind, as we'll as re-
markedly correct judgment, the former was no
less improved by his close powers of observation,
than the latter was disciplined by the faithful
lights of sober experience. Such in great
measure, were the elements and education of a
character, which, allied with his undertaking in
tegrity, gave him large space in the respect es-
TEEN and confidence of the community.
He combined with uniform mildness of dispo-
sItion and urbanity of manner, the sterner attri-
butes of frmness, decision and dignity all OF
which were associated with marked sobriet1, mod
Grafton, and justice. Such were the prominent
virtues of the enterprisng and public spirited cit
izen whose loss is now felt by this community in
the death Of the deceased. A melancholy sense
however, of the public loss, is nothing compared
with that bereavement which has been sustained
by a large family, profound sympathy for whom
is the prevailing sentiment of all The loss O
such husband and such a father, fills indeed the
darkest picture Of wdowhood and orphanage. In
to that sanctuary do not propose to enter NJ
other soace is left them but the consultations o
that faith which proclaimed in the life, ant
! illustrated in the death of him whose death they
mourn-Republica&.

bly, the best work that has yet been published on
the use and effects of Choroform. Every physi-
clan, before administering this powerful agent,
should exam ne this book
Choroforom when taken internally, acts as a
sedative narcotic, probably operating through the
nervous system independently of vascular action.
AS prepared by Guthrie it was used internally as
early as 832, with favorable results, in asthma
spasmodc cough, scarlet fever, and atomic aun-
sey since which time it has been advantageously
administered in neuralgia and other painful affec-
tons. It's most important use, however is, as an
anesthetic agent, by inhalation. In this respect
it is considered perfectly safe by Prof. Simpson
and others who have carefully examined its effects
on the living system, at least when prudently ad-
ministered.
To insure success in administering the chlofo-
torm 1t is necessary to conduct the process with
certain conditions. The patient should as far as
possible be in state of quietude, and free from
all mental excitement both during the time of in
haling it and recovery. All talking and testing
during the time should be strictly prohibited. In
this way any tendency to excitement is avoided,
and the desired effect more certainly and speedily
induced. Again, the person administering the
chloroform should be sufficiently acquainted with
its effects the living system, and the various
temperaments to know when the proper anRsthe-
tic effect is produced without resorting to the bar
barous practice of sticking pins in the patient OF
pinching them to know when the state of insensi-
blity is produced Persons who have to resort
to such course, might be deceived, and carry
this powerful somnoescent agent little too far.
In our present state of knowledge the only means
that can be used with any degree of hope when an
over dose has been administered, are to place the
patient in a reclining posture, dash cold water,
in the face friction, and the application of amona
to the nose. If these should fail artificial respra-
ton should be resorted to.
Chloroform as it is, has evidently proved a
great blessing to the human family, and if chem
lists could now discover an nalable antidote for its
dangerous effects upon the living SYSTEM the sur
geon could then in imitation of Jehovah himself
with confidence cause deep sleep" to fall up
on his patient, even sufficient for the removal of
" rib" and the closing up of the flesh /" with
out pain or risk of the life of his patient.
