twenty-five years of age, and little daughter
Lucy, aged twelve years, were seated in an

kerosene struck the CRATE the floor near the
hearth became. enveloped in flames. The
son turned to the mother and sister, telling
thcn to hasten from the room. Instead of
doing this, however, Mrs. Brownlee seized Il
broom from the hall and began sweeping
the flames and fluid into the fireplace. No
sooncr had the broom touched the fire than
her dress caught.
The poor woman rushed out of the room
into the hall, down stairs through the back
part of the house, and back again to the
SCENE Of the accident, followed by her terri
lied son, who was unable to stop her until
she came down stairs the second time, and
then he had to exert his whole strength.
Mrs. hrOWnlce had on calico wrapper, aud
by this time the garment was completely
consumed by the fire. Her UNDERGRADUATES
were yet i'll flames, and as he Caught her he
wrapped her in blanket he had secured in
his flight in hopes TO smother the flames.
She fell on the floor in the hall, and William
aud little Lucy then took to beating her
with their hands
The little girls clothes caught fire then.
The young man became frantic, and in his
frenzy grabbed the mother in his arms and
carried her to Mrs. Gcycr's residence, which
is at the upper end of the same rnw. BY
this time the flames in the room had attracted
the attention Of officers Richardson and
Ehuch, who hurried to the place and cxtiu-
guished the fire, and saved the little girl
from being burned to death. Leaving his
mother at Mrs. Geyer's, William fastened
back to his home to care for the others. As
the excitement subsidized he began to realize
the extent of his own injuries. Both hands
were badly burned, the right one being in q
most critical condition.
Mrs. Brownlee's injuries are Of Il Very Sc
rious character, her face being badly burnt,
also her limls and breast. The young man
may possibly lose his right hand. The little
girl is the less seriously injured of the three.
The accident has cast gloom Oh the whole

4 NOVEL Observation-Disclosures. y. H.
January pa suit has just been tried be-
fcre the Supreme Judicial Court of New
Hampshire. in which DR.. Edward Sharp, OF
Philadelphia, was plaintiff, and Reuben B
Hall. of Nashua, defendant. The Doctor
was married to Miss Hall, at Philadelphia, In
September, 1870, and Mr.. and Mrs. Hall, the
parents of the bride, were present at the
ceremony, which took place at the residence
Of Mr. Washington Badin, of Philadelphia
AhOont or hour before the marriage, Mr.. Hall
the father OF the urltfr, .;icroad hand agree
ing to pay his daughter, during her nlr,
81 200 annually, or the interest on $4,000.
Mr.. Hall, after the marriage, refused to fulfil
the conditions Of the bond, and this suit was
brought to compel him to do so.
The defendant claimed that the bond was
obtained by fraud. He testified that on the
morning of the marriage his daughter told
him that DR.. Sharp would not marry her if Il
marriage gift OF 100000 was not made to
her. and that she would consequently be
ruined. Tie defendant claimed that there
was Il conspiracy on the part of his daughter
and DR.. Sharp To rob him of Il large sum OF
money. Mrs. Hall corroborated her bus-
bands testimony.
Mrs. Sharp, The bride, denied the state
ments OF her father, and testified that be
voluntarily signed the bond. Mr.. Bladin,
who drew the bond, testified to the same
effect. The jury rendered verdict for the
plaintiff.

terested III knowing that on the arrival of
the bride at her hu~ifrT1a'. nalncn she was
alfred in French bridal costume oil" white
silk trimmed with orange flowers. Her
wreath of the same blossoms was surmount-
ed by diadem of brliauts, and long veil
of tuile illusion fell partly before and partly

he dressed in this fashion; Turkish brides
always wearing rosc-colored dress en-
broidercd with gold.
"Another strange innovation on established
custom was that K!rlll Paeha gave his arm
TO the Princess. She came in carriage,
with closed white satin curtains; the coach
man and English footmen wore white we'd

eunuchs rode beside the windows. The re-

| forty coaches, also accompanied by Name
lukes and eunuohs.
DAT noon a table of one hundred covers

Princess retired into her boudoir and

dress of pink velvet, almost covered with
gold embroidery, but still wearing her
wreath Of orange flowers and diadem CT bril-
liants. The ladies honored by admission to
her presence describe her as dazzling them
with her youth and beauty, remarkable for
her elegance and refinement, and sparkling

gradual upsetting of silly old prejudices

The a BUsE OF ASESTHETICS.-At the
monthly meeting Of the Medical Legal So
ciety. held last night at the College Of Physl-
clans and Surgeons: DR.. S, +, d. Weisse read
! paper on 'sThe Obligations and Response.
bility Of an Administration of Nitrous Oxide
and Other Ansesthetics." Ether was not Us
safe to use as nitrous oxide gas, although the
former was used greatly in Europe. The
respiration generally ceased before the pulsa-
tons of the heart, so that it was very decep-
tive except TO those who had had great eXpe-
Hence in using it. 1t may be said there are
very few accidents in using it, but the ad-
lniEistrlt2r could not be too cautious in
using ether. He should bear in mind that
his patient is on the verge Of the grave, and by
any reckleSSneSs death must ensue. There
were several ways in which warning was
given, such as the failing Of the respiration
and feeble pulse. ChlorOform is even more
dangerous than ether. In its use extreme
pallOr tells Of certain asphyXla, and then
death. 1t caIuot be used on every patient,
and no medical practitioner should admins
ter it unless he is well acquainted with the
constitution Of the patient. The contrain.
dicatious were phthisiS, fatty degenerations
of the heart, and in cerebral diseases. The
remedies to be used when respiration ceased
were to stop the inhalation at once, removal
of the clothes, and dashing cold water oyer
the head. 1t is good to apply ammonia to
the nostrils. Sitrous oxide or ether does not
dcprcss the heart, when administered, like
chloroform. In The Use of the former thershas
been only one death out OF $4,000, ard OF
chloroform oue death out Of $500. In this
city there were large quantities of these
agencies used, and some means should be
taken to prevent dentists from administering
nitrous oxide gas, especially when the pa
tient is unaccompanied by the family physi'
clan. In every case galvanic instruments
should be at hand, with ammonia and other
restorative means. If it was at alI in tue
power vi this Association to enforce law,
it should be done, and so forbid the admins
traton' of an:esthetics except by regularly
graduated doctor of medicine or dental sur
geon. The majority Of operators are mere
amateurs, who understand but little of the
practice and less of the theory of aesthesia
and are therefore totally untitled to apply
agents to the human body which, even in
their safest methods of administration, jeop
ard ze human life by interfering with its mos'
vital functions.-NeW York World OF FRI
