An EIopement Case.

Last Sunday afternoon man named
Samuel Glass, who is said to live near
Kingston, but has, of late, been en-
pIoyed by Mr.. Michael Metzler, near
Hallsville, came to this city, hired
horse and buggy at Thompson's, and
went out to the village named, return
ing about one o'clock Monday morn
ing, bringing with him quite a young
girl, who had been taken to raise by
Mrs Sarah Buchwalter.
The next seen of the couple was on
Monday about noon, when they were
walking along Paint street, with arms
locked. During the afternoon of Mon
day, the man again went to Themp-
son s to get buggy, and on being ask
ed where he'd been in the meantime,
stated that he had been to Cincinnati
with his ''sister," (as he claimed the
girl to be, to obtain medical advice.
When asked how he got back so quick
he stated that he was only in Cinein-
natl ''about four hours" The falsity
of the assertion was apparent, when
the time that would necessarily be con-
sumed in the trip was considered.
After securing the buggy the second
time, he came up street, getting out 3
moment, in front of confectionery,
and leaving the girl to hold the horse.
While Glass was temporarily absent, q
citizen of fHallsville, who had seen the
couple together and suspected some
thing was wrong, called Detective
Bakers attention to the matter The
latter engaged the girl in conversation,
discovered the state of affairs, and
when Glass returned Mr.. B. gave him
a ''raking over for his conduct in the
case, and excited his fears to a degree
that he started at once on his return to
Hallsville, with the intention of taking
| the girl home. This intention was
carried out, and, on the following day,
Mr.. Buchwalter came in town with the
girl, for the purpose, as is supposed,
of finding Glass, who, it was thought,
had returned here. This was a mis-
take. Glass had not come back; and
Mr.. Thompson, feeling alarmed for
his horse and vehicle. started after
them, finding Glass asleep and half
drunk in the buggy, near Hallsville.
He had been out all night, it seems.
Mr.. Thompson secured his property
and set the man adrift, and the case
here rests CtSllicothe Register.

sat on her marble features. Her
children were there clad in weeds of
woe, and In irony we remembered the
strong mans words, ''She was a good
mother in her day.
When the bell ceased tolling, the
strange minister rose in the pulpit.
His form was very erect, and his voice
strong, but his hair was silvery white.
He read several passages of Scripture
expressive of Gods compassion to
feeble man, and especially of his ten
derness when gray hairs are on him,
and his strength failcth. He then
made some touching remarks on
human frailty, and of dependence on
God, urging all present to make their
peace with their Master while in health,
that they might claim His promises
when heart and flesh failed them.
"Then," he said, ''the eternal God
shall be thy refage, and beneath thee
shall be the everlasting arms" Lean
ing over the desk, and gazing intently
on the coffined form before him, he
then said reverently: From a little
child I have honored the aged but
never till gray hairs covered my own
head, did know truly how much love
and sympathy this ella So Lave a rightto
demand of their fellow creatures. Now
l feel it. "Our mother" he added
most tenderly, "who now lies in death
before us, was a stranger to me, as are
all of these her descendants. All I
know of her is what her son has told
me to-day-that she was brought to
this town from afar sixty nine years
ago, happy bride--that here she has
passed most of her life, tOiling, as
mothers ever have strength to toll,
until she had reared large family of
sons and daughters-that she left her
home here clad in the weeds of widows
hood, to dwell among her childrens
and that till health and strength left
her. God forbid that conscience
should accuse any of you of ingrati-
tude or murmuring on account of the
care she had been of late.
'When you go back to your homes,
be careful of your example before
your children. for the fruit of your
own doing you will surely reap from
| them when you yourselves totter on
the brink of the grave. 1 entreat you
as a friend, as one who has himself en-
tered the evening of life, that you may
never say in the presence of your
families, nor of heaven: 'sOur mother
had outlived her usefulness-sheW was
a burden to u.s." Never, never; q
mother cannot live so long as that !
No; when she can no longer labor for
her children, nor yet care for herself.
she can fall like precious weight on
their bosoms, and call forth by her
helplessness all the noble, generous
feelings of their natures"
Adieu, then, poor toll worn mother
there are no more days of pain foI
thee. Undyipg vigor and everlasting
! usefulness are part of the inheritance
of the redeemnd.

ton of gases is phenomenon of alb
sorption and exhalation. The oxygen
in the air, which is inhaled, passes
through the delicate membranes and
enters the blood and is held in soIu-
ton by the ccrpuscles of ne~hlood.-
At the same time that oxygen passes
into the blood, carbonic acid passes
out. Carbonic acid is also held in So
luton by the corpuscles. If, after
inspiration of air, which is mixture
of oxygen and nitrogen-one part of
the former to four parts of the latter,
and a small per cent. of carbolic
acid-be collected and examined after
expiration, it will be found to contain
more or less animal matter of de
cOmposable character, which gives to
the breath its fetid odor, and carbonic
acid with very small quantity of OK
ygen and the nitrogen, which remains
but little changed, so that there is a
constant accumulation ofcarbonic acid,
and a constant diminution of oxygen.
While the animal uses oxygen to sus
tain his existence, he is constantly
throwing off carbonic acid, which is
detrimental to his existence, and as
soon as the air becomes contaminated
with 20 per cent. of carbonic acid it no
longer is able to sustain animal life
unless there be a reproduction of OK
ygen, which is accomplished in this
way: As the animal inhales oxygen
and eXhales carbonic acid, so the green
vegetable cOloring matter in the pres
ence of sunlight has the power TO de
compose carbonic acid, and we might
say, inhales carhonic acid and exhales
oxygen. From the above we may
easily judge the propriety of having {
house or room well ventilated Many
FROM the fact that in closely crowd
ed and ill-ventilated apartment, ther,
are those who have deep rooted il
their systems diseases which other;
predisposed to the same, inhale tn
decomposlble vapor and thereby con
tract disease which might have beel
avoided had the apartment been wei
ventilated The proper way to venti
lateis at the top of the apartment, a

ORGANS OF RESPIRATION.

Lungs, the organs of respiration in
terrestrial animals, are two in number,
situated one on each side of the chest,
and are named respectively right and
left, efwhich the right is the largest,
owing to the inclination of the heart
to the left side. These are connected
with each other by the bronchi and
vessels of the heart. The respiratory
apparatus begins with the larynx,
which is connected above and at the
back part of the mouth, and naries
with the pharynx. Then follows,
leading down from the larynx, the
thrachea or windpipc, which may be
easily detected through the skin on the
front of the neck. by it's firm walls
formed of cartilaginous rings. These
rings constitute membranous tube,
which after entering the chest divide
into the right and left bronchi, and
these bronchi diminish, divide and
sub-divide into delicate membranous
tubes and end, at length, in elongated
dilatations about one thirty fifth of an
inch in diameter, on an average called
''air cells - These ''air cells are sep
arated from each other by very thin
membranes, and between these mem
branes are very minute bloodvessels
which contain the venious or BLACK
blood poured into the lungs by thC
pulmonary artery. This artery is thC
only artery in the body which contains
vcnious blood, and the vein of tht
same name, pulmonary vein, is the on
ly one which contains pure or arteri
al blood. The veniOus blood, passing
/ through the minute bloodvcssels con
tanned in the lungs, is exposed to tn
influence of the air contained in th
cavity of the ''air cells when a trans
. 1dation of gases takes place tAroug
the delicate animal membranes of th
lungs; this interchange or transuda

Silver Spring.

Silver Spring, Florida, is one of the
greatest curiosities in the South 1t
bursts forth in the midst of the most
fertile country in the State. 1t bub,
bles up in basin near one hundred
feet deep and about an acre in extent,
and sending from it deep streem
sixty to one hundred feet wide, and e: :
tending six to eight miles to the Ock-
lawaha river. In the spring itself fifty
boats may lie at anchor-quite a fleet.
The spring thus forms a natural in
land port, to which three steamers now
run regularly f.om the st. Johns,
making close connection with the
ocean steamer at Palatka. The clear
ness of the water is truly wonderful.
It seems even more transparent than
air; you see the bottom, eighty feet
below the bottom of your boat, the
exact form of the smallest pebble, the
outline and color of leaf that has
sunk, and all the prismatic colors are
reflected. Large fish swim in it, every
scale visible and every movement dis
tinctly seen. If you go over the
spring in n boat you will see the
fssures in the rocks from which the
river pours upward like an inverted
cataract.

Subterramean Gas Wells on the
Lake Shore.

Subterranean Gas Wells on the
Lake Shore.
The fact that large and steady flow
of gas had abeen obtained by boring
into the earth at various parts on the
Lake Erie shore, led the Buffalo Gas
Co. to put down a we'll in that city in
the expectation of reaching gas. The
work was begun on the 1st of February,
and is now completed The first vein
of gas was struck at the depth of 31S
feet, and the gas assures gave out
their contents at nearly regular dis
tances of 20 feet thereafter At the
depth of $50 feet, the salt water was
thrown out of the we'll with such vio-
lence as to show there was a strong
impelling force beneath it. sThe water
was then pumped out and the well was
tubed, when the gas began to flow
freely. The tube, a two inch one, was
put in the latter part of last week, and
the flow has been regular from that
time in quantity sufficient to furnish
fuel for a large manufacturing estab-
lishment. At the gas house the nat
ural gas did the work of the ordinary
| fuel tor furnaces,-small quantities oi
coke being supplied in addition now
and then. In the retort house its
Illuminating powers were tested
through about 20 pipes. 1t did not
work well through the ordinary bur.
ners; but these being removed and full
vent allowed to it, it gave all the light
necessary, though clear steady light
is not essential for the work to be done
there. The light is not bright anc
clear like that from coal gas, and il
showed a liability to disturbance by
the action of the atmosphere TIL,
subterranean gas is found all the way

Beer or Bricks.

There is way of putting things
that is very forcible and convincing.
Here is a good instance: Mr.. Taylor,
of Birmingham, the founder of free
hold land societies, in an address to
workingmen, said: 81 persuade q
man to keep sober. l tell him that
with every quart he consumes twenty
five bricks. 1 show him how, in the
course of two years, at one quart q
day, he swallows as many bricks as
would make a nice cottage. Ny old
grandfather died when nearly hum
dred years old. He lived in q house
nearly eighty years, and at the time of
his death he had not so much as a
brick or chimney pot, although he
had paid rent all his life. Now, had he
belonged to a building society, his
grandson might have, been better of
than he is. l have said that a quart

with the amount to be derived from
the bonds specially set apart for that
purpose (viz 5000, ,OOO) to insure the
completion of the new and indcpen-

it is apparent upon the face Of the or
dinancc that it is the construction Of
this latter portion of the road in which
the city is particularly interested, and
which the city counci! desired to in

a large portion Of the bonds have been
delivered, the road is not completed;
the contracts entered into for its con
struction and completion amount to
but nominal compliance with the

ed that the company IS without the
