Ms. Harriet y. Richardson of North
Adams, Mass, died few days since from
haling cblorof9rm, administered to her
by DIR. c. L. Streeter, who makes the fol-
lowing statement concerning the case:
"The amount of chloroform inhaled
was about two thirds the usual quantity,
and time Of inha!ing it lcaS much less
than usual, the breathing easy and the
pulse regular, with no unpleasant sensa-
tons except the prickling Of the hands,
which is no uncommon thing. rs soon
as insensibly was produced, commenced
the operation. | extracted four teeth,
and was about to remove the fifth, when
suddenly the breathing ceased, the pulse
could not be felt the face became deadly
pale, the eyes vacant, the lips lived. In
slant dissolution appeared Inevitable
The face was wet, fresh air admitted by
raising the windows, artificial respiration
was Immediately commenced, when she
gave two or three short respiratIonS; theh
to all appearance life was extinct without
struggle or motion Of any part OF the oouy,
and all within two or three minutes iFom
the first symptoms of alarm. Still artif-
cial respiration was continued. The ply
sicians were called in, but all to no effect.
DR.. Babbitt, the first one in, had no hesi-
tation in pronouncing her dead at FIRST
sight and no power on earth could raise
her in about FIVE minutes after the alarm
ing symptoms came. Still, for the graft
fcation of the friends and the people
present, battery and other means were
resortod to, but without any possible hope
of raising her. Signs of death were toe
apparent to be mistaken"

4 Reasoning Fox.

/ \ certain hunter, who was one morn
ing keeping watch in the forest, observed
a fox cautiously making his approach to-
wards the stump of an old tree. When
sufficiently near, he took high and de-
tcrmined jump on to the top of it; and
after looking around awhile, hoped to the
ground again. After Reynard had re-
peatod this knightIy exercise severaltimcs,
he went his way; but presently he re
turned to the spot, bearing pretty large
and heavy piece Of dry oak in his mouth
and thus burdoned, and as it would seem
for the purpose of testing his vaultinS
power, he renewed his leaps on to tho
stump. After time, however, and when
he found that, weighty as he was, lie
could make the ascent with facility, hs
desisted from farther efforts, dropped the
piece of wood from the mouth, and coil
ing himself upon the stump, remained
motionles5 as if dead. At the approach
of evening, an old SOW and her progeny,
five or six in number; issued from 4 neigh
boring thicket, and, pursuing their usual
track, passed near to the stump in ques-
ton. Two other sucklings followed close
behind the rest, and just as they ncarcd
his ambush, Reynard, with the rapidity
of thought, dartcd down from his perch
upon one Of them, and in the twinkling
of an eye bore it in triumph on to tho
fastness he had 50 proyjdcntly prepared
beforehand Confolnded at the shrieks
of her offspring, tbo old sow returned in
fury to the spot, and until late in the
night, made repeated desperate attempts
to storm the murderer's stronghold; but
the fox took the matter very cody, and
deyoured the pig under the very nose Of
its mother; which at length, with the
greatest reluctance, and without being a

ycrsary, was forced to beat retreat

Education IN Pennsylvania.

Under this head the New York Tri-
Jlo1c notices the salaries of the County
Superintendent of Common Schools, and
remarks
Of course, at such rates, either l.
Feeble men are appointed, who will effect
nothing; or 2. Capable men are chosen,
who are not expected to devote their time
to their work; or 3. Good men are ex-
pected to give their services for half their
value for the sake of the cause. In eth
er case, the policy is shabby, ahort-sight-
ed and emiuently Pennsylvania. Ale
gheny and Lancaster can better afford to
pay $4,000 year than any smaller SUM;
Chester, Montgomery and Bucks want
men worth at least 81 800, and cannot
afford to take an inferior article; while
Erie, Fayette, Beaver, Westmoreland,
Washington, Franklin, &c, should have
chosen men worth at least 81 900. On
ly think of Dauphin; the metropolitan
County, including a city of at least l0,-
600 inhabitants, appointing a County
Superintendent Of Schools at the magnifi-
cent salary of $500 year. No wonder
the State is sold out three or four times
a year by her legislators when popular
ignorance is thus cherished.
