EEWe notice in our exchanges that
Governor Willard has notified the Clerks
in those counties where vacancies have &C.
cured for Senator or Representative, TO give
notice that said vacancies will be filled at
the October election Should he deem it
advisable to call an extra session the COM
ing winter, there will probably be full

Judiciary.
We learn from the State Sentinel that
the question in reference to whether the
resignation of Judge Stuart and Gookins,
have created vacancies has been submitted
to the Attorney General; who, gives as his
opinion that there are no vacancies to fill
at the October election. Judge Stewards
resignation will take effect the first ef Jan
uary next, and Judge Gookins', when his
successor is elected and qualified.
We somewhat doubt the proprety of
such designations. 1t appears to US, that
they could have resigned, say the middle
Of the present month; then there would
have been no question liz reference to va
cancies. The people would have elected
two TO I'LL their place, and they could have
been qualified and ready for business at
the November term. AS the matter now
stands unless they withdraw their resi- gna-
tons, Gov Willard will be under the pain
full necessity of filling their places by APP

CHLoROFoRM REMEDY FOR Poison BY STRYCH
NIA.-Dr Jewett, of Cortlandyille, New York, de-
scrbes interesting case in the Boston Medical and
Surgical Journal, resulting in the above conclusion
The patient, lad aged Is, had been suffering in
the evening with toothache; his father designing to
give him anodyne, gave portion of strychnia which
he had procured to destroy rats and had accidentally
placed in his wallet, with some powders of snlphate
of morphine, similarly put up. The boy retired to
an upper room, and very soon became affected with
spasms, from his bed made an attempt to reach
the door of his apartment and fell upon the floor,
across his fathers lap. The patient was resting
across his fathers lap with countenance sunsed and
livd, eyes injected and protruding, pulse full and
strong, but irregular, surface bathed with perspira
ton, etc. Violent tetanic spasms were occurring in
rapid succession like the effect of shocks from an
electric battery. Occasionally they would relax for
moment, but the slightest touch upon the surface
OR an attempt to present anything to his mouth,
seemed to redouble their violence. No effort had
been made to procure emess, nor did that prac
tcabe as deglution was out of the question, and the
violent convulsive movements preciuded the posi-
bility Of efecting it by mechanical means.
Chloroform was at once administered by inhalation,
and freely applied to the spine. The inhalation was
somewhat difficult at first but as he came gradually
under its influence the spasms subsidized, and in ten
minutes he was perfectly quiet. On suspending the
remedy the convulsve symptoms returned, but yielded
again as it was resumed Partial anasthesa was kept
up for about four and half hours, when it was dis
continued without any return OF the symptoms. No
other remedy was used, save an occasional Gose of
sulphuric ether with brandy and water. The boy
recovered rapidly, complaining for few days of a
slight headache and feeling, as he expressed it, as
though he had been intoxicated.
The poison was put up in small paper. and, as it
was thought large dose OF morphine it was divided,
and one.half administered. The remainder weighed
nearly two grains, which was probably about the
quantity given. 1t had doubtless been administered
some thirty or forty minutes before medical aid was
obtained. An unusually large amount of chloroform
was inhaled, but from the necessarily wastefu man
ner in which it was applied we could not determine
