TERRIBLE ASSAULT ON POLICE OFFICER
Yesterday afternoon n about O'Clock party
OF men were restandiEg around the stovein the
office the National Hotel warming them
selves, when Night policeman Hughes came
in. Some words passed between the officer
and one of the men named Bresnahan in an
ordinary tone. As Hughes turned to leave
the man with whom he had been talking,
threw off his coat and struck him, knock ;
ing him down. No sooner had he struck
the floor than his opponent was on him,
kicking and beating him on the head in a
brutal manner. Mr.. Davidson. the propri-
etor of the house, ran in to interfere,
when he was thrown back by one
of the ether men with the cry of
''let 'em have fair play" He instantly
had an alarm whistle sounded for the
police, when the attacking party fled, and
to a late hour last night had not been ar
rested We have not learned thenames of
all the party, or we would give them pub
licity. Officer Hughes is very severely
injured. We are sorry on our friend
Davidson's account that this should have
occurred in his house, but it was begun
and ended SO suddenly that it was not in
mortal power to have prevented it, The
National is a well kept, orderly house, and
nothing of this kind has happened In it
before under Mr.. Davidson's proprietor
ship.
TREATMENT OF DIPTHERIA An ex-
change says that diptheria in its early stage
may be recognized by any person of ordi-
nary capacity, by two marked symptoms
| the sensation Of bone or hard substance
| in the throat, rendering swallowing diff
cult and painful, and an unpleasant smell
of the breath, the result of its putrifactive
/, tendency. On the appearance of these
symptoms. if the patient is old enough to
do SO, give piece of gum camphor the size
of a marrowfat pea, and let it be retained
| in the mouth, swallowing slowly the saliva
charged with it until it is all gone. In an
hour or so give another, and at the end OF
another hour third. A fourth will not
usually be required; but if the pain and
unpleasant breath are not relieved, it may
be used two or three times more, at little
longer interval, say two or three hours
If the child is young, powder the cam
phor, which can be easily done by adding
| drop or two OF spirits of alcohol to it,
with an equal quantity of powdered LOAF
sugar, and blow it through quill or tube
I into its throat, depressing the tongue with
the haft of aspoon. r
