Termination Of Drowned Persons.

DIR. Hall, an eminent physician Of LON
don. has jus. given the world the results
of series of investigations on Asphyxla,
or the suspended animation from INNER
sion in water. which are nteresting in the
highest degree, and if in the hands of 9TH
els found to be effectual, will revolutionize
the entire method oftreating persons found
drowned. He objects to the practice OF
seeking to restore animation by elevating
the temperature of the body by hot blan-
kets and hot applications. The suspended
animation 10 The case Of drowning arises
from two distinct causes, first, want OF the
air usually received in the process OF res
piration, and second, aretention OF carbo--
bic acid 8, IN the lungs, and its hinai
permeatlon in the blood vessels. This
peimeation produces poison capable Of
disorganizing the blood and producing
death from this cause aone and is increass
ed by heat and heated applications. DR..
Hall has pointed out one impeachment 10 the
restoration OF this function, which has hith-
erto escaped notice. This is the falling
back oil the tongue across the top of the
CLOTHS, or entrance into the windpipe.. The
first step in DR.. Halls process IS to remove
this difficulty by placing the patient upon
his face and breast, instead Of his back,
as Is usually done. The body is then turD.
ed slowly upon the breast and face. Ibis
motion, whose effect is to cause a couside-
rable amount Of air in the lungs 10 be. exc

THE MEADOW GATE.

BY CHARLES SWAIN,
The blue bell peeps beneath the fern,
The moor its purple blossom Yields
IT'S worth six days work to earn
A ramble mid the woods and fields.
There is an hour to silence dear,
An hour for which king might waltz
II is to meet, when no ones near,
Ny Mary by the meadow gate. t
When love inspires the linnet's breast,
How swift he speeds from spray to spray3
His song is of his woodland nest,
Far hidden from the peep of days
Would such a nest were ny sweet lot
Would might be some dear ones mattel
I'd ask to share my lowly cot,
With Mary by the meadow gate.
There Is tide the streamlet seeks,
A full mile from its course it yeers,
And into silvery music breaks
When from the vale the sea appears.
Oh! twenty miles my eager feet
Would wander long and linger late,
One happy moment but to greet
Ny May by the meadow gate.

Judging from the country newspapers,
