On INFANT HANGED TO DEATH.
Il PottstoWn, Pa, last week occurred = very
sad event, the fall particulars Of which are fur
nished by Q resident Of that place. Geo. scheetz,
with his wife and children, resides in Van Bus
kinks Addition, and are much respected people.
They had four children, three little boys and one
girl, the latter being only eleven months old and
whose untimely end took place yesterday. About
2o'olock Mrs SehoetE put her infant baby, Jen-
ME, to bed, and then returned down stairs to her
work. The bed on which the baby lay had Slst
bottom, and the bed-elothes were too short to
reach to the foot end. Between the last slat and
the footboard there was Q space Of almost four
inches. The baby became restless during its
Ileep and rolled from the head Of the bed 10 the
foot end, and its body fell between the Stat and
the foot-board, Its head not going through. The
chin rested on the Blat. It is supposed she lived
after the fall about forty -fYe minutes. From the
floor to the bottom Of the bed 1t was l4JS inches,
so that her feet rested the hoor which no doubt
prolonged her life and sutferings
Shortly before O'Clock Mrs. SeheetE went NJ
stairs to bring little jennie down, when the hof-
Tibls sight met her vision. With screams that
were heard for distance, she snAtched up the
cold body Of her baby and rushed down Itairs,
eGclaiming to her mother, Mrs. Meta LeSsig who
WAS in the kitchen, MY baby is deadg
The news soon spread over town, and many
sJBnpathizing friends called. The grief or the
mother cannot be described.

SCHOOL VENTILATION.

CTRJFfyT

AN INTELLIGENT AUTHORITY ON THE
SUBJECT.
In the September number Of the SaRifarian, q
New Y Ork monthly medical journal, is an article
on the yeRtjlGt!Q9 Of schools, as follows: The de
fective Ventilation Of the public schools Of New
York and Brooklyn, TO which we have frequently
called public atts9tiop In the SahhGriGn, bids
fair to continue without any Intelligent effort on
the part Of thb Board Of education TO remedy It.
Several months ago the New York board Of ap-
portionm6nt placed 500 at the disposal Of the
board or edueation to defray the expenses Of de-
termining upon an effective system Of ventilation.
After advertising for proposals and holding seE-
eral meetings without eeitinE any practical plan,
they seem TO have let the mattel drop, and excuse
themselves on the ground Of insufficient tunds,
saying that to carry out any effective system Would
cost 100000 or more, which they think the tax
payers you'd be unwilling TO stand. Meanwhile
the 80 900 appropriated lies untouched. The board
in Brooklyn is fp like manner doing nothing,
School chldren's iives are evidently estimated g
be Of little value by these respective boards Of
education, or they would take some intelligent
measures for their protection. Pure air is SUN
GENTLY abundant without the necessity Of sdVer
Using or paying for patent means for admitting Il
into SchooI-rooms. And II these gentlemen hsYt
not the time inclination, or intelligence sufhcisn
to devote to this purpose, they should lose N
time in delegating the duty TO some one who has

FROGS AS FOOD.

It is asserted that FIVE hundred pounds OF frogs
are daily consumed In New York. They are
chiefly caught In Canada, and are sent there In
salt sacks laid fat upon the floor Of the freight
car, and containing each about = hundred frogs.
An average Of per cent. die in the transit; Each
female frog is said to spawn over q thousand at .
time, but not more than fifty In that number live
to attain full growth. They ara often eaten by
their own species, or by birds and snakes. They
are usually taken with the hook, but bite at Il
only when their heads ore above water. A bait
is often unnecessary. The lTog-eatcher frequently
brings his hook under the jaw Of tho frog without
creating alarm, and jerks its point into the flesh
He Is then easily lifted into the boat

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: AverSe as am to personal explanations
in newspapers, particularly when they have no
public Importance, think It due to myself to
correct some Interpretations OF my comnunlca-
ton which has ELECTED classical controVers y
First. am accused OF translating ''quSrcus''
into "acorns" BoIanists and scientists are apt
to use the generic name Of plant even If only .
part Of It is intended. Prof mindlehef used
I'uuercus." or course ! knew that he did not
mean that oak was mixed with coffee, but that
the fruit Of the oak (acOrn) was. When you de-
sired me to use ''plain English used the very
name Of the article intended by Prof. Mindlehef,
(acorn,) and did not mean to make literal trans
iation or 'quercus," in which case would have
used the word "ORk, +" and astonIshed the people
that the oak tree was used in the adulteration Of
cOfees. Since writing this l received the follow
ing from q classic scholar who thinks had abun-
dant authority for so translntlng It. He says
"Quercus" is found used in the sense of "acorn"
in Juysnal, sat- a. verso lss, or, as some OF the
older editions have II, verso lS3. It Is admitted
that this Of the word is rare, but the author
ity OF IuTenal is sufficient to warrant its employ
ment in this slgnihcEtion, and that such is the
sense in which JuYenal intended IL to be under
stood by the interpretations Of such eminent leXl
cOgraphers as FOrlelllni and Faceiolau OF Italy,
FTeund Of Germany, and Andrews Of America.
In this morning sissue Of The REPUBLICAN, You
publish communication on my biblical knOWl-
edge, and call me 20 account for not cTedttng the
Book Of Kings with the expression OF There Is
death in the pot" When 1 mentioned that q
French writer had said that / did not intend dis.
respect to the Book Of Kings. A French writer
had used such an expression IN o work on adul.
| torated food and was thinking or him. Several
writer's have adopted said motto, and particularly
the great Berlin chemist, Frederick Accum, who
| in 1870 published treatise on adultotation Of
food and culinary polsons that startled the whole
| Of Europe. HIS Article was headed by the start
| ling motto from the Book Of Kings, "There Il
death in the pot"
At present I an more interested in the great
! subject OF GdulterEted food, and had no idea Of
becoming engaged in a scholastic war. This Is
! entirely q side issue, which / would prefer to
| drop as many are tho classic scholars IN this
| country that could overWhelm me.
When l wrote intended to beneft the public
| by making 1t aware Of the wicked compounds
which 1t was liable to consume Under the assumed
names Of teas and c0iees. The classic part was
totally unintentional and If failed in cearuess
or correctness Will accept your structures cheer
