and the SEA Moss FARISE Co., Of New
York, who own the patent, find it all they
can do to keep pace with the demands for

MARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH BY
SuFFocATIoN.-A young woman, servant
in the family OF Joshua Burley, Esq, in
Washington township, came near being
suiIocated with gas during Thursday
night We hear that the unfortunate wo'
man went out to call on female friend
that evening, and returned sometime RIler
the family had retired, Yesterday morn
ing she was called as usual, but did not
make any response. 1t was supposed
from her failure to respond or appear that
she had remained over night with hef
friend. Aler waiting until late hour III
the morning, it was determined to Visl!
the room she usually occupied, and
learn, if possible, whether their surmses
were correct or not. One orthe members
of the family was sent to the room, Who
on entering it, found the young woman IN
an insensible condition, and the apartment
filed with gas. The alarm was imme'
diately given, and physician sent foF.
He promptly repaired to the house, and
the ordinary means OF rcsuscita1lon in
such cases were used with success. Inan
hour or two the unfortunate girl was able
to come down stairs, but late in the Hi'
tcrnoon she was still suffering very con-
sideably from the effects OF the poison.
How the gas came to be escaping
whether she blew it out on retiring, or
turned it only partially oil, or lett it
burning dimly and it was!extiguishod by
the wind, is not known ut the present
writing. We believe the practice Of turn
ing down the gas in bedrooms, until only
a'small jet of flame is left, prevails very
generally where that article is used for
illumination If persons will only take
the precaution to admit fresh air into the
room, either through door or window,
taking care, however, that the current
shall not come in contact with the flame,
such occurrences as above narrated will,
it is said, DC entirely avoided.
