the materials of one Of the most interesting dscourses

the rouehness and rudeness Of nsture-with the
stormy elements overhead, the pillows OF the oceans
before him, and the rocks OF the mountains and the
rank and often poisonous groTths OF the valleys
stretched uDinvitngly in view. To overcome the dii-
fcutes these presented required labor-esrnes labor

In round numbers the amount of copies of
speeches distributed by the Senators of the Free
States was 1000; of the Slave States 10000.
Divided according to parties, the LecOmpton Sem
stors distributed 3lO 900, and the Anti Lecompton
$50, 900.
The Philadelphia election has so alarmed the
Democratic managers here that they have made ar
rangements for sending into Pennsylvania under
frank, during the csmiog Summer, one million Of
Democratic speeches and documents. The Repub-
Leans should take early aud efficient steps to couu
teract this immense infusion of falsties. Pennsyl
vania is more scantily supplied with documents, in
propOrti IN to her population, than any other Free
State. Her Republican Representatives here, for
the most part, are negligent of their duty in this re-
spect. Next FALL on the eve of election, they will
call upon their neighbOrs for aid which little
timely eIertion during the present session would
have made them independent of.

REMARKABIE DEATH FROM CHLoRoFoRM.-Patsey
Carroll, young lrshman about Is years old, residing
at Allegheny County, was run over by freight tram,
his feet being caught by the wheel crushing them in
frightful manner. Amputaton OF the lower third OF
the left leg became necessary, and the operation was
performed on the 10Th Of April, little over two weeks
after the accident
He did well for a few days when low typhus, a.
physicians denominae it, supervened, and sloughng

treatment, the poor fellow rallied his appetite,
strength, and general condition improving rapidly.
On Tuesday last, May H. consultation of surgeons
was had composed OF DR.. J. b. Stanton, Ellicott
vile, Dr, Fritz and Eddy Of Allegheny and Dr. Bah
bitt of this village.
The conclusion arrived at was that inches Of the
bones eAoud be removed, and it agreed upon all
hands that the patient should be put slight the
influence Of chlOrofom. One Of the physicians poured
as near be judged not TO exceed ten drops on
handkerchief the patient not nhsling from 1t more
than half of The time. Mr. Ferguson station agent at
Allegheny who was by, took the vial and poured on
not to exceed 10 II drops more, and 1t was re-
marked by the physicians at the time that he did not
pour on enough and was told next time to pour on
about 80 drops, which was about two minutes from
inhsling the frs-rom this he did not inhale but one
breath, and that with an adm4ture OF air, out from the
effects of which he died.
The physician examining the pulse said it did not

named and to show that there was no mistake as 70
the quantity fused there was not missing rom inc
ounce vial more than Of drschn; at all events not
more than one drachm was gone. The instant the pa
tient spoke of feeling faint the handkerchief was with
drawn and brandy and other stmulsnts administered,
together with gavansm electricity, hot flannel, rub
bpg and artificial respiration kept up for nearly three
hours preserving the warmth and some slight signs OF
life until nearly the last.
The choroform was from specimen previously
administered 10 others with impunity. specimen OF
it will be sent to Prof Hsdey for alyzstlon, hoping
10 find that the effects were the result OF an lmPu-
rity and not the legitimate consequences OF chlofo
form.
The case will undoubtedly be reported by the a.;
tending physicians to the medical authorities ana
journals and it is hoped they will endesyor to deter
