SAD CASE OF DEATH FROM USING HY-

SAD CASE OF DEATH FROM USING HY-
pRATE OF CHLoRAL.-A very cad case OF
death by an improper use of medicine was
called to the attention of Coroner Jopes
to-day. The subject was q Mr.. Henry
Bragg, very respectable young man,
twenty seven years of age, who died last
night at his residence, No 147 Remsen
street, Brooklyn. He had been several
months past in constant attendance upon
his father, who died q few weeks ago, and
had become seriously Frustrated from lack
of rest. The ply stefan in attendance upon
Mr. Bragg, Sr., had prescribed for the IA
| Their of the young man hydrate of choral as
| an anodine. This he had administered to
his father.
After his fathers death he gave his
brother the phial, to have the druggist re-
new the prescription. The direction on the
label was two teaspoonfuis Mt certain peri
DDS. The deceased took half teaspoonful
less than the prescription, and yet he died
from it's effects. The Coroner held an in;
quest over the body, and the jury returned
the following verdict: "We find that the
deceased, Henry NJ. Bragg, came to hi
., death by taking an overdose of hydrat'
of choral unintentionally, he not under
u standing the effect of the medicine, ant
: we, the jury, strongly condemn the prac
% tice of druggists dispensing dapgerou
medicine without an order from physl

A bankrupt Earl cannot well be expected
to behave in court as nero ordinary bank
rupts do. So at least the Earl of Orkney
thinks, for when his lordsbip's case came on
the other day before tho London Court OF

be present at the hearing of an application
for adjournment to settle with creditors,
that the noble Earl condescended to come
into court, and, being in court, he appar-
emily resolved to preserve the imposing 81
leace becoming to peer in such dire
straits of fortune, for when the Chief
Judge asked him if he wished for an ad-
jourhment, the reporter briefly says, "the
bankrupt bowed" We judge, that tn 1.-THE the

THE New YORK FOUNDING STATISTICS.
At late meeting to reorganize the New

pital, resolutions. were adopted to 30 con-
duct it as to save the mothers as well as
lessen the mortality among deserted in,
fants. During the meeting DR.. Willard
Parker gave some startling statistics.
Among IS 900 births annually in that city,
$500 he said were not in wedlock, and
about 8. QUO foundlings die Annually OF neg
lect. OF Is, l67 deaths in 1869, 7,4O5 were
children under zone year of age, equal to
q ! 10 per cent. Of all the deaths; and in
1870 the number of infants dying amount
ed to 81 per cent. of the whole death rate
Az an illustration of the necessity OF 8
mothers care, he said that at an asylum in
Montreal, where the bottle was used, out
of 4,O59 children received in six years
3,767 died, making SO per cent. At Ran
dalrs Island but 10 out of 100 were save'
!; when the bottle was used; where nurse
were provided 274 per cent. were saved
y and where the mother cared for the chill
fully 20 per cent. were saved.

Bulwer says poverty is only an idea In
nine cases out of ten. Some men with
$4,000 a year suffer more for want OF
means than others with $500. The reason
is, the richer man has artificial wants. ms
income is $4,000 q year, and he suffers
enough for being dunned for unpaid debts
to xiii a sensitive man. A man who earns
one dollar day and does not go in debt,
is the happier Of the two. Very few peo-
ole who have never been rich will believe
and thousands with princely incomes who
never know q minutes peace, because they
live beyond their means. There is really
more happiness among the workingmen In
the world than among those who are calico
rich.

was a pistol. Although an old man he

The limit Of the concession is to heavy

ia the knowledge Of the fact that the South
does not possess the skilled labor requisite
for the manufacture of other and hlgher
styles of goods. But this concession fore.
shadows much. There has net been mill

diction that there will never be another
erected. But no single fact better illus

Pity the poor bishops who have seats in
the House OF Lords. Their grievance is that
they must wear the episcopal Lawn sleeves
and. sit together when they attend the
Painted Cham Ter. The Bishop of Manches-
ter, in very recent speech, gave q broad
hint to his audience, and it was that if his
right reverend brethren and himself do not
exhibit in the debates of the Upper House
as much activity, mauliness aud intellect
ual power as might reasonably be expected
of them, the lawn sleeves are the fatal
cause of all. A writer in the Spectator of
Saturday last 80 far supports the Bishop
that he SAYS: at is difficult to sit in law u
sleeves which are 30 provocative of ridi,
Guile in and out of the House, and yet, in
the RIDICULOUS garb, to feel manly, and tn,
equal of laymen. Away with the ridicu

INGENurrY.-A Sharp Patent Right
-: lLa-It Ia sad To sea 40 much ingenuity

INGENUrTY.-A SHARP 10tens h'y"s
S,p;ndle.-It is sad to see so much ingenuity
no shamefully perverted as in the following
natent right swindle, which has recently
come to light, and is, without exception,
one of the sharpest tricks OF rasca'ity that
has ever merited an ample reward rom
instice. 1t has been attended with great
success in the northern and central parts of
indiana, and our own State has lately en-
loved the privilege of q visit from the ex-
merit knave who perpetrates it. A wealthy
famer, who may be designated Mr.. Smith,
residing near frankfort, was visited few
DAYS since by gentlemanly stranger,say
Mr.. Brown. Mr.. Brown represented him
self as agent for the sale of certain agrl-
cultural machine, and held out to MI.
Smith strong inducements to become a
snh-apept. a privilege obtainable by the
payment of $40.
Not only was the right thus cheaply to
he nurchased, but the purchase money was
to be paid not in cash, but by promissory
note. nav able after the sale of three hun
dred and eighty seven dollars worth OF
machines, For further convenience a
printed form of promissory note was pre-
sented by Mr.. Brown, to when Farmer
Smith had only to affix his name to become
entitled to ali the rights and privileges OF
the sub-agency, together with the large
profits destined to accrue from the lucra
tive business. .-
The promissory note, which seemed en-
tire. was actually a combination by tw'
parts, a blank space being adroitly left be
tween them. BY cutting of q portion, a
seen in the following, promissory not
was left in due form:
One year after date. promise TO pay te-Br1wT
for value received az Eight Per Cent. per annnt
Witness: JOHN
baarer Ten Dollars when sell by
worth of Agricultural Machines,
said Ten Dollars, whom due, IL
Agent for-BsowN.
Then by joining the small part to tn
above. line for line, the original shape
the note as presented for signature will
seen.
The note which was apparently all rig
was signed without hesitation. The
raupement was then complete as far as
Smith was concerned. Mr.. Brown, he
ever, had yet something to do before m
ters were settled exactly in accorda
with his purposes. This consisted in
ing leave of the farmer, and the tearing
the latter portion, as shown above, WI
had been printed expressly with thet
ject. Nothing then remained for
sharper to do but negotiate, which he
accustomed to do promptly and at q
discount, using part of the proceeds
help him forward on his travels in sc
of other dupes.
