Occasional fatal results from the use

Occasional fatal results from the use
of chloroform in surgery have induced
scientific men to experiment with other
agents, in the hope of discovering some
thing possessing the advantages with
out the risk of chloroform. Lately Mr..
Richardson, of London, has tested BIZ
chloride of methylene with this view,
aud has found in animals theresistance
to death in the proportion of fourteen
with the bichloride of methylene as
against nine with chleroform. He has
also made experiments upon himself,
and the effects experienced by. him un-
der the new agent were much less dis
tressing than those produced by chloro-
form. Two English surgeons-Messrs.
Spencer Wells and Peter Marshall-have
since employed the bichloride of methy-
lepe instead of chloroform in surgical
operations, and in ten great operations
the ipsensibility produced by it was
more complete and more rapid than
with chloroform. The patients were
thrown into a sleeep in from three to
seven minutes. Que of the greatest
advantages offered by the new agent
is the complete suppression of that pc
riod ofvi ,lent excitement with muscular
contractions, difficulty of respiration,
and symptoms of great suffering exper-
fenced by the patient before falling
asleep, which attend the administration
of chloroform.

Lime about Apple Trees

We have known some farmers make ii
q regular practice for succession OF
years to throw caustic lime around theil
apple trees in the spring and summer
We once noticed that a tree standing
in the Immediate vicinity of cur dwell
ing had all at once put forth with re-
newed energy, and we were at loss
for a long time TO define the cause. On
examination we found that a quantity
of lime, which had accidentally been
smiled, and rendered worthless by be-
coming mixed with the refuse on the
stable floor, had been thrown at the foot
and around the tree, and to this, as the
principal cause, we immediately aecred-
tied the revivescence and renewed truc-
tlfication of the tree.
Taking the hint from the incident we
purchased twelve casks of lime, and APP
plie,i half a busEel To each of the trees
in our orchard, and found that it pro-
duccd immediate beneficial effects
Not the health of the tree only, but the
quality of the fruit also was greatly
improved. This application will be es-
pecially beneficial In soils where there
is q redundancy Of vegetable matter
We would advise our farmers in some
places, especially in new forest lands
recently cleared, and on low lands, To
make o trial of this experiment, and see
whether it is not deserving OF the hlgh
recommendation it secares.-ET.

constitution Differences.

There are many constitutions so inherently
defective in energyIas to derive great benefit
from moderate use of pure liquor combined
with such vegetable medicines and extracts as
enter into the composition of Roback's Stomach

oven the healthiest derive additional security
from their occasional use.
If healthy persons are exposed to unusual

A New York scandal
From the New York Correspondence of 81
| .. ton Journal I

From the New York Correspondence of Dos
f..,. ton Journal
New York is as grateful for new SEN
sation as was the Roman Emperor who
eunobled cook for furnishing him with
q new sauce. Just now the fashionable
portion of the city are reveling IN new
excitement. We have here gentle
man who, through his business, is as

splendid house, and is surpassed by no
one in the elegance ct his turnout on

wife and that she has been for u long
time supporting herself i'll this city by
her needle. She is very elegant and
accomplished lady. For her chlldren's
sake she held her peace for long while.
The elegant gold embroidery which
made such sensation at the Paris Ex-
hibition was from her needle. She
found friend i'll the head of one of our
fashionable establishments, and the
fashionable and elaborate embroidery
worn by the ton Of New York was the
hspdiwork of this lady. Recently her
husband made proposition to her.
He promised to settle on her hand
some sum of money ii she would allow
him to obtain full divorce under our
laws. The proposal was so infamous
that the lady resolved to bear her neg
lect and sorrow in silence no longer.
She issued a beautiful printed circular,
announcing herself by her husbands
name; stating his business, so there
couldb be no mistake about the identity,
offering her services to the fashionable
of New York; designing as reason for
the offer that she wished TO obtain
bread for herself aud children, and sta
ting that she could be found daily at q
fashionable dress making establishment
on Broadway. These circulars were
scattered broadcast among she fashion
able families Of New York, and any
quantity of them were sent by private
hands Il. the husband. His indignation
is uubounded. for he has great personal

Heavy Law suii-E7aif of srOnton
10 he Sued Eor-The Point OF SttncG
rFroo. the IrOntOn ohio Rcgister.l

From the Ironton Ohio Register
Asnit will, in all probability, soon be
brought on the part of the heirs OF John
Dawson, to regain 4 largo tract OF lana,
on which the business portion OF the
CITY of Ironton is built. The estate 10
controversy comprises nearly all that
tract below line, starting at the river
inst above the depot, and running BACK
TO the bill, passing IN the neighborhood
of the Presby terrain Church and old pillow
factory. This tract oflInd was once the
farm Of John DAVIDSON. In 1881 this
person died, and in his will he settled
upon bis wife all his personal property
aud during her life all his real estate.
Upon her decease, his executor, Isaac
DAVIDSON, was authorized and instruct
ed, as the words of the will 90, ITO sell
and convey by public sale, my planta-
ton whereon now live, by making an
equal division of the same, running
from the river back" &c. The wife
elected TO take under the will, and she
hold the land until 1913. when she died.
The estate was then divided into two
parts $50 it is said, for we arc unable to
find further record proof, and the d.
visions offered for sale separately.
There were no bids for the separate por-
tiops of the land, SO the Crier offered
both together, when the property was
knocked down to W. d. Kelly. This
was in 1919. Sooa afNr the eatire
tract was transferred to the Ohio Iron
and Coal Company.
-. The point which we understand the
heirs make is, that the land was not
DISPOSED of in the manner contempiat-
ed 6y the will, and the sale is, therefore,
void. What could have been the inten-
ton of the testatOr in making the divl-
sion in his land is more than we can
tell. 1t certainly did not conduce to
high bidding, for the land in two lots
was not near 50 valuable rs the tract
entire. Indeed, when offered separately,
there were no bids. Still, all these rea-
sons and considerations are of no weight
in the construction OF the will, when it
is acertained that it was the plain in
tent Of the testator that the land should
be offered in Two parts, each parcel sep
arately.
1t may be that the heirs have other
and more potent grounds for their
claim than the one we mention. Ii they
have, they will certainly urge vigor-
Gus contest, for the am0unt involved,
being over half million of dollars, is
quite sufficient to rcmuDerate person
for all the labor it will cost.
