We would be pleased to see an effort made for

confident that an attempt 10 accomplish this,

but seemingly all in vain. All hope OF ave. ting
death was at last given up by those in after d.
ance. Several hours after the occurrence. the
physician Of the family arrived, but too late, as
was supposed, TO do any good. The thought
struck him, however. OF testing the . ticiency of
