DIR. West ana His Gas.

HE ASKS AN EXPRESSION OF OPINION CONCERNING 1T
FROM THE STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY
Prof Isaac @, West sent communication,
which was read, to the State Medical Society,
while in session at Lewes, asking its opinion re-
garding his gas. The communication was re-
ferred to the Committee on Anaesthesia with in
structions to report at next meeting.
OF his trial and the circumstances of killing
Cooch Turner the Professor says;
al could have proven that DIR. Way, of Balti-
more, had been deranged by similar foolish
use of the gas, and he WAS at Mount Hope
Hospital for treatment for some time. A num-
ber of others had been more or less affected by
it, all of which / could have proven, but was
not permitted ;and sooner than allow my counsel
to establish insanity, l allowed him to plead
guilty. The charge was an attempt to set
house on fire..
81 remember nothing whatever in reference to
the fire. l do not remember cutting the body
into pieces, nor of the foolish disposition of the
parts, nor of leaving the town, nor of returning,
nor of making any statement to the Coroners
jury. The last thing remember about the af-
fair was that had just discovered that the negro
was 'irealy dead" and was intending to come
around and inform the Sheriff, thinking should
not sleep any that night unless l inhaled some
gas took the gas and then lost all conscious
ness of my surroundings till several days after
wards, when found myself in jail. remem-
ber few isolated circumstances, but without
any connection. I remember of asking for a
Constable at Harrington, and of being some
where and having questions asked me about
something had put away thinking II told
where they were, could go homo. remember
nothing after the real or imaginary attack, with
any distinctness."

NEWARK, June II.
The closing exercises of Newark academy took
place in the large room of the building, last eve
ming. The room was Handsomely decorated and
was viewed by an audience which left no vacan-
cies in any part of the room.
The exercises were opened with a short adj
dress and prayer by Prof. 9. II. Holaway, when
the chorus "Haryest Home, was sung by the
vocal class. The regular programme was then
gone through with; and we feel that we should
do injustice did we not speak specially of the
dith, and "The Cousins by Misses Will
hanson and Cathcart, the lat
ter of Cecil county. All, however, acquit-
ed themselves in splendid style, and the music
teacher, Mrs. Adams, deserves especial praise
for the admirable arrangement of the musical
part Of the programme. We must not forget to
mention, however, Miss Kate Wrights "Oome
into the Garden, Maude," the vocal
duett, "There's Sigh in the Heart by Misses
Wright and Cathcart, and Miss Whiteman'H
i" Waiting " song. Miss L.. Bowers alto 1.-THE
Bride and MISS Cathcart's "When the Tide
Comes in" were also very sweetly sung.
The defamation was up to the usual standard,
and Master Edward Holloway's "Wreck of the
Central America was greatly admired. The
who ente ertainment was admirably arranged,
well conducted and reelected great credit upon
the Misses Chamberlain and their assistant,
Prof. Holloway.

Mr.. Derwin. a prominent stock raiser OF

met with a very severe accident. a num-
Der Of his sheep had strayed from shelter
in driving snow storm, and Derwin set
olt to drive them in. The storm increased
in fury and the sheep huddled together
and were 80 blinded by the falling storm
tha. il was well nigh impossible TO move
them. He first tried To hurry them 10 his
own rancho. but. finding this Impossible,
change! his plan and ebdeavored 20 bring
his sheep to another shelter that was stu
ated on neighboring farm. a few miles
distant. He wa. the more encouraged u
do this because the sheds to which he now
aimed Law in the direction toward which
the storm was drifting. In this direction
the sheep would run. and they proceeded
as fast "a the rapidly falling snow would
permit. Mr.. Derwin followed on horse
back. and though exposed to the severe
cold. he did not realize his danger. FINAL
iy, as the darkness came on AMI the snow
grew deeper. ne first reaiizcd the futility
Of his efforts to save his sheep and took the
precaution 10 save himself. He felt that
he was growing numb. and rode with all
the speed he could TO the nearest house.
Arriving there he was surprised TO find
that both legs were stiff. Cold water and
snow were applied to thaw them. but tic
flesh cracked open and gave aigns Of falling
off as il grew warm. Surgical aid Was
called. and il was decided that the only
hope Of saving Mr.. Derwin's life would be
in the amputation of both legs below the

A Wedding 4" Spark. 4"

Anew York correspondent of the Bos-

Ward. who waA on the eve of her marriage.
is most remarkable. 1t was but half an
hour before the ceremony. and many Ofthe
guests had assembled. She had beauti-
full and rich white satin wedding-dress
made. covered with costly lace. A servant
was intrusted TO hang il in a closet OPEN
ing from her boudOir. The scloSet door
was closed. and the bSide commenced her
toilet for the wedding. Every thing had
been completed. and nothing remained 10
be done save the putting on Of the we'd
ding dress, The closet door was opened.
when 10! the beautiful dress had turned
to dust and ashes! A careless spark had
somehow fallen Into the lace and consum-
ed the costume. Other things in the clos
ct were found to be on fire. and had to be
thrown out of window to save the house.
The poor bride-to-be was heartbroken.
What could be done: Finally some one
remembered that sister OF Miss Ward :
had BEEN married two years before. and
thst she had not cut up her wedding
dress. This was hurrielly brought from
its hhling-place. and the poor bride was
married in her sisters wedding-1ress.
