NECESSITY OF VRNr1LAr1oN.-

NECESSITY OF VENTILATION
When we breathe over and over again
the same air, We gradually yitiate It
by the constant exhalation of carbon
ic acid, which gradually brings the
air up to the point where the differ
ence between it and the blood-as
regards the proportions of carbonic
acid-disappears. The blood ceases
to be arterialised, and the vital func-
tons are arrested. In vain does the
air still contain a quantity Of life
giving oxygen; the blood cannot take
it up, because it cannot get rid Of the
carbonic acid, and it cannot get rid
of its carbonic acid because the con-
ditions Of the exchange are absent.
10 make an animal breathe air over
charged with carbonic acid, is equiv
alent to gradual prevention Of his
breathing at all. Suffocation results
from vitiated air in precisely the same
manner as from interception of the
air. Although burking and gagging
are crimes which appal the public,
the public seems almost Indifferent to
the milder form of the same murder
when it is called swami Of ventila-
tion." In spite Of the historical in
fanny of the Black Hole at Calcutta,
our prisons, hospitals, theatres, chur-
ches, and other public buildings were
left disgracefully neglected, until,
thanks to the energetic labors Of our
sanitary reformers, public attention
was aroused. That thousands have
been the victims of public ignorance
on this important matter, may be
shown by single example. The
deaths of newborn infants between
the ages of and Is days, which in
the Dublin Lying-in Hospital amount
ed in the course Of four years to 2944
out of 1850 births, were suddenly
reduced to only 279 deaths during
the same period, after a new system
Of ventilation had been adopted.
Thus more than $500 deaths, or 1 in
every 8 births, must be attributed to
the bad ventilation. -Blackwoods

WRITE SINORRELY.-The effect of
any writing on the public mind is
automatically measurable by its
depth of thought. How much water
does it draw? IF it awaken you to
think, if it lift you from your feet
with the great voice of eloquence,
then the effect is to be wide, slow,
permanent, over the minds of men;iif
the pages instruct you not, they will
die like flies in the hour. The way
to speak and write what shall not 90
out Of fashion is, to speak and write
sincerely. The argument which has
not power to reach my own practice, L
may we'll doubt, will fail to reach
yours. But take Sidney's maxim
''Look in thy heart, and write" He
that writes to himself writes to an
eternal public. That statement only
is fit to be made public, which you
have come at in attempting to satisfy
your own curiosity.-Emerson.
NATURE will not have us fret and
fume. She does not like our benev-
olence or our learning much better
than she likes our frauds and wars.

The intellectual life may be kept
clean and healthful, if man will live
the life Of nature, and not import into
his mind difficulties which are none
of his. No man need be perplexed
in his speculations. Let him do and
say what strictly belongs to him, and
though very ignorant of books, his
nature shall not yield him any intel
lectual distractions and doubts. Our
young people are diseased with the
theological problems Of original sin,
origin Of evil, predestination, and the
like. These never presenteda prac-
teal difficulty to any man,-never
darkened across any mans road, who

GNHiV ~ ONHH'h : : -
We are cnlIrd upon this morning to
record one Of the most horlld aiirays
which has even occurred in u city.
From what we can learn, the cause
Of the difficulty was occaSioncd by a
family icud Of long standing. For
years, the parties have been at war,
and the hatred OF Zone towards the 9th.
cr has continued to increase from the
linr it commenced.
The particulars, beginning ycslrr-
day, are stated thus: Early in the
morning, Sam CoWan saw James
Owen, in company with his wife ap.
preaching in the direction atWhich he
vas located; when they met, CoWan
spit in Ovens face. Owen then re.
marked that it was the wrong time to
settle the difficulty, but he would see
him at another time, and Immediately
seated his wife, told his brothers and
friends Of what had passed, and pre-,
pared to make an attack. At about
II O'Clock the large crowd in attend
ancc were suddenly startled by the
report Ola pistol, the cIaShIng o! sticks
and a noise and confusion generally.
How il commenced, no one is able to
tell, but it occurred on the outside
promenade ofthc amphilhcalrc, where
hundreds Of people were congregatcd.
It was soon discovered that some ten,
fifteen or twenty were engaged in the
melee, some Of whom however, were
cn%dcayoring to suppress it. On on"
side. Sandy, James and John Owen,
and W. A. Davis were noticed; on the
other side, Sam and Geo. w. Cowan.
Joel A. Battle and his son. Pistols
were fired, sticks were used freely, and
il appeared, says our informant that
men were being Knocked down on all
sides. Owing to the crowd and the
intense excitement, it is difficult to
tell by whose hands the victims fell.
Sam Cowan had Il Colts repeater. and
on examination it was found that every
barrel had been discharged. Several
others had fire arms, but to what ex-
tent they were used we cannot say.
BY this horrible affair, SANDY Owen
was killed, Sam Cowan, mortally
wounded. John Owen shot in the side
aud thigh, the wounds supposed to be
mortal, Joel A. Battles skull badly
fractured. Thos. Battle shot in the
wrist; JAS. Owen, w. A. Davis and
others slightly hurt.
Gen. Battle, we understand, cndeav.
ored at first TO create peace, but being
used pretty roughly, he commenced
upon his antagonists in dead earnest.
lie is an uncle ofthc Cowans.
Mr.. Battle who was shot in the wrist
not a party to the affair, but re-
his wound accidentally.
Mr.. Sandy Owen was shot through
he heart and died Instantly. Sam
received his injuries by being
