ORIGIN OF THE TITLE OF PEERs.- Duke is derived from the Latin word dur leader. Marquis-this title was con- ferred upon those who held command of the marches, us the boundaries between England and Wales, and England and Scotland were called, when these coun- tries were hostile to England. Earl is de- rived from the Saxon word earl, noble. The Earl formerly had the government of a shire. Alter the conquest, Earls were called Counts, and from them shres have taken the names of counties. Viscount. or pice-con'es, was the deputy of the Earl. Baron-the title of Baron is the oldest in point of antiquity, although the lowest in point of rank of any order of nobility.

The local insensibili,y thus produced is as complete and effectual as that caused by the administration of chloroform or either, while the dangerous consequences some- times resulting from their use are entirely d.--l Raleigh Register .---
