The Power OF 0lOFOfOrm Given In
terRally.

ANAAaAAde -H
Yesterday, a man named Anthony
Duffy, aged thirty-fve, a laborer in
Washington square, was, on returning
from his work, seized in Fourth street
VITA hemorrhage from the lungs. Seat.
ing himself on the steps of a dwelling,
he soon became insensible, and rolled
upon the pavement weltering in blood
While blood wal still streaming from
his mouth and nose, and he appeared
gasping for breath in the agony of
death from ~suffoestion, a physician APP
peared and poured the contents Of a
vial of chloroform, probably two tea
spoonsful, into his mouth, and from that
moment the hemorrhage ceased Twice
afterward the remedy was repeated IN
smaller doses, and the man was relieved,
rescued as by a miracle from impend-
ing death.
1t is now claimed for this remedy
that It relieves the chill of ever, sun
strokes, commissions and allkindred af-
fections supposed to be dependent upon
congestion. But it must, in all such
cases, be given by the mouth and not
by inhalation.-N. 7 Paper.

facts in the case. The law Of right aud
wrong and the law Of Gods word have
been thrust into the background. The
national conflict has been treated as If it
we're merely question Of party politics,
like the struggle Of the old Wbig and
Democratic party for power; or as pI
question of craftsmanship like the ad
justment Of the tariff; or as a question
of diplomacy like the settlement of the
North Western boundary, Uudoubted
ly if there be nothing in this rebellion
but questions of party orstatesmagship
or diplomacy, then the clamor is mot
wholly senseless, But when, in the
course of ms, some of the most vital
points in morals and some of the most
solemn questions started in Gods word
emerge before the church, itsiduty is
plain. The racket that is raised is the
hue and cry Ignorance, of misap-
prehension; orit is the spite which the
evil doer takes out of the watchmeu, be,
cause they will not go to steep and out
Of the dogs because they viii not be
dumb Us. 56: 10)
1t is said that the churches, in their
action on the rebellion, have gone be-
yond their province, aud beyond the ex-
position of Gods word; that they have,
in particular Instances, dealt with as
poets of public affairs which are purely
secular. The reply to this is, in the
first place, that mistakes of this sort are
to be expected; for "all Synods and
councils may err through the frailty in
separable from humanity" Secondly
the mistakes Of this kind actually com.
I nitted by the church-courts are, By
large odds, fewer far, and of less im.
D portance than the objoctors would have
us believe Thirdly, many of the prop
ositions in their minutes which ar,
branded as political or partisan state
ments are not such, but are good anc
sound conclusions from the word o
/ God. And, fourthly, these courts hat
far better take the risk of few incau
j tious expressions, than to become, eth
I er through cowardice or Indifference
y false to their duties in the presence Of I
= sin, so colossal as this great r 'bellion.
