NARROW ESCAPE.

From the Nara Register, March -.
Miss Flora RaSche, music teacher ut
the seminary. had Il narrow escape
from being killed last Monday morn
ing. She. with one of her smaller
pupils, had been over to Sonoma
spending the sabbath with Miss Emma
Cooper, also one of the pupils, and
they were all returning, driven by
Thomas Cooper, brother of Emma.
Coming down the hill near the school
house, the wagon fell into rut with
such violence rs to pitch out both Miss
Ra>che and Cooper, who occupied the
front seat. Cooper fell outside the
wheels and was all right, but Miss
RaSche was thrown directly upon the
pole of the wagon, between the horses.
where she. with great courage and
presence of mind, hung on while the
horses ran over Il mile to the black
smith shop at Carneros Creek, where
some men ran ou', stopped the team
and rescued the lady from her perilOus
position. The other two girls lay down
in the bottom of the wagon, and made
the ride in safety. Miss RaSche dis

ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SII.

From the Suisun Republican, March 2S
Last Monday evening, about nine

of Il child and the sounds of blows in
CoX's house, and two gentleman start

the house they heard Il pistol shot. and
upon entering they .und Cox with Il
pistol wound III his forehead, and his

with terrible cash cut in her head,
both lying OH the floor in.ensible.
Cox soon revived sufficiently to get up
and walk to a bed and lie down. Dr.
Campbell was sent for, and an exam
nation of the wound showed that the
ball had glanced on the skull and had
not penetrated the brain. The wounds
on the girl proved to have been i'll

the child visited her. against her

Is not the fact that l have chosen to

Compulsory Education In New York.

The Empire State has made education
compulsory. The law to that effect will
90 into force Jan. 1, 1876. It contains
ten sections. The first provides that every
child between the ages Of eight and four
teen years not physically or mentally in
capable of study shall l., instructed at
home or in school at least fourteen weeks
of each year, eight of which shall be con-
secutive, in spelling, reading, writing,
English grammar, geography and arith-
metic. The second section forbids, I'M
der penalty of fifty dollars fine, the en-
ployment during school hours of any
child who has not attended school four
teen weeks of the preceding year. The
third directs School Trustees to ex-
anime the manufactures of their
district in order to see whether
this rule is obeyed. The fourth
is unimportant. The 9Th authorizes
Trustees to enforce the preceding sections,
and fixes the fines for keeping children
from school at one dollar for the first and
five dollars for each succeeding week.
These fines cannot, however, be collected
for more than thirteen weeks. The sixth
section empowers the Trustees to supply
textbooks to poor children. The seventh
prOvideS that children shall be classed as
habitual truants on the written statement
of their parents that they cannot make
them go to school. The eighth gives
Trustees and Boards of Education the
power to make rules, subject to the ap.
prevail of Justice of the Supreme Court
Tor the district, for catching, combining
and teaching habitual truants. The ninth
settles questions of Jurisdiction. The
tenth provides that two weeks attendance
at a half-time or evening school shall be
counted as one week at day school.

Cold

Our sensations are often very deceptive,
especially as to the temperature. We
often feel chilly when the thermometer is
high, and actually get warmer as the
mercury descends.
Take piece of metal, another Of wood,
and third of wooden material. Lay
them side by side on the same table.
There is really no difference in their tenn
perature. Yet if you place your hands on
them the metal feels cold, the wood
neither cold nor hot, and the wool posi-
lively warm.
If you hold snow in your hand for any
time you will suffer painful sensation.
So if you keep your hand in ice-wster
this will soon feel as if it were hot and
burning you. But if alcohol or glycerine
are reduced to precisely the same temper
allure they will have no such effect.
Ether, on the other hand, seems to burn
like ice-water.
Brandy, at thirty degrees below ffeez-
ing point, may be drank without incon.
venience, if only wooden vessel is used.
A glass one is altogether too cold to be
put to the lips. Rum and cognac, and
such liquids, become thick and syrupy at
thirty degrees below freezing, and at lifty
degrees below they become solid. Brandy
may thus be swallowed in lump out Of
cup of frozen quicksilver.
At sixty degrees below freezing the
solid brandy begins to produce the sensa-
ton of cold. To bring 1t to this tempera-
ture 1t is necessary to use carbonic acid
gas, reduced by cold and pressure to q
liquid and then mixed with ether. This
has to be employed very carefully, for if
it touches the skin it produces blisters
like red.hot iron. At seventy degrees of
cold, brandy, If taken with q wooden
spoon, tastes simply like very hot soup.
II metal spoon were used it would burn
all the skin off the lips.
