RREArurNG TgRoUGH GLASS TrRy-

BREATHING THROUGH GLASS TUBE-An
account has been published of an accident to a.
little boy eight years of age, son of Mahlon
g. Houck, of Reading Pa, who had large
glass bead in his mouth while PLAYING, and it
slipped down into his windpipe. The doctor,
three or four days after the accident, made an
incision in his windpips, but when about to
secure the bead there was deep inspiration Of
the lungs, which, unfortunately, drew it down
the bronchial tube in the direction of the right
lobe of the lungs, beyond recovery. 1t is said
that previous to the operation the bead was in
the throat Immediately above the thyroid
adams apple), and by applying the hand to
the throat the motion of the bead was percep
tible in the boys throat. A reporter called at
the residence of Mr.. Houck and found the
little boy sitting on lounge playing with a
smaller brother. His appearance does not in
dicate that he met with such serious accident,
as he has healthy color and pleasant counte-
nance. A bubbling, Kissing noise, however,
can be heard in his chest as you approach him,
and when ths ear is applied to the right side
tho noises are loud and distinct. Mrs IIouck
states that he eats hearty and is apparently in
good health, his physical condition having i'm
proved greatly during the last week, or two,
but that he is subject to severe spells of cough
ing, during which he nearly sufOcates, espe-
cially at night. Breathing appears to be more
difficulty when in recumbent position. The
theory is that the bead, which is OblOng, hol
low and perforated at either end, become,
clogged with phlegm, caused by inf fimmation oil
the bronchial tube, when coughing ensues and
continues until the phlegm is thrown out anG
the usual breathing through the bead i.
resumed. The exuectrration consists of phlegm
and blood. 1t has been remarked by physi
clans who have studied the case that the child
may sometime cough up the bead, or that i
may gradually work its way through the lungs
and come out at the side, but if it be not ex

DISTRESSING DEATH BY HYpRoPHOBIA-
A dispatch from New York, last Thursday
evening, says: Miss Ada Noyes, young
actress, died at her residence, No. loo Blsecker
street. this morning, from hydrophobia. She
arrived in this city about a mouth ago from
Charleston, 5. G., and was bitten in the nose
by pet lap dog, which she brought with her.
But little notice of the matter was taken at
the time, but on Monday last, symptoms of
hydrophobia began to be manifested. The
best medical aid was summoned, but 10 no pur
pose, the poor lady grew rapidly worse, until
death this morning put aud end to her suffer
ings. The Coroner held an inquest on her re-
mains this afternoon. All the testimOney
went to show that the dog was not mad at the
time.
Dr. Elliott testified that he cauterized the
wound with nitrate of silver on the 30th of
January, and for ten days thereafter she ap-
peared to be doing well-so we'll that she ap.
peared on the stage with Lucille Western ut
Rochester on Monday night. During the per-
foImance, however, she became inse nsible,
and in her quieter moments requested to be
taken to New York. On the train she suffered
the greatest distress, aud frequently prayed to
be killed.

Methodism is increasing in Missouri. The
sixth annual session Of the st Louis Confer
ence met at Warrensburg on the 4th inst The
satisfies show that within its jurisdiction,
which includes all that part of the State lying
north of the Missouri river, there are 1880
members, lO9 churches, and Isl Sunday
schools, with an Attendance Of SSH pupils.
Missouri Conference, which embraces the rest
ot the State, is stronger, and there are in all
Missouri 30,996 members and 2l7 churches Of
this denomination. In 1868 there were but
3.6S8 members aud 20 churches This wonder
inl increase is due in great measure to the
tinerant system. This system, whose great
apostle in early days was Bishop A.bury, and
later, in the West, the eccentric Peter Cart
wright, has made the Methodist Church the
large and Influential organization which it is.
proposition to abolish it has been brought
up lately, but does not meet with much favor.
