This singular substance, discovered bv Dr.

notice by Sir Humphrey Davy, the latter being
the first to notice its stimulating properties--
When taken into the lungs, it indnces the

Enough laughing gas may be prepared for

process is, first 10 insert into the neck Of the
bladder wooden pipe, stop-cock, made OF el-

then fix it to the retort containing the nitrate

can be performed Hold the bladder in The
left hand, placing the thumb over the pipe TO re.
tain the gas; with the right hand close the noa.

Louiss Kock was broush. TO the house. and
took up her residence with Battner. II was
then determined by the man and woman to get
Franz out Of the wsy, and secure the real ss.
tate for themselves. The way to accomplish
this villainous purpose was to starve him to
death.
Accordingly. he was fastened up in . room
with his hands tied behind his back, where. at
the time of bis discovery. he had been confined
fol the space OF two days, without having had
q morsel to eat or drink. He would probably
have suffered horrible death, had it not been
for the watchfulness Of the persons living in
the nsighborkood, who, suspecting the case
informed the police, and had the house entered
and searched Little Franz was overoyed at
