a MAN KILLED BY A MOUSE,

An extraordinary occurrence was
brought to light at an inquest held on
the body of man in South London Ia
a work room where many young girls
were at work mouse suddenly made its
appearance on table, causing, of course
considerable emotion and general
stampede. The intruder was seized,
however, by a young man who happen
ed to be preseat, but the mouse slipped
out Of his hand, and running up his
sleeve, came out between his waistcoat
and shirt at the neck. The unfortunate
young man had his mouth open, and the
mouse, on the lookout for some conven-
lent place Of concealment, entered the
mans mouth, and he, in his fright and
surprise, swallowed it. That mouse
can exist for considerable time with
ont much mir has long been popular
belief, and was unfortunately proved to
be Il tact in the present Instance. for the
mouse began to tear and bite inside the
mans throat and chest. and the result
was that the unfortunate fellow died in
a tile while ia horrible agony Sew

facts. and medical testimony As to the
cause OF death having been given, q

In a review of Texas affairs Gov. Cohe
said at Dallas the other day: Taxation has
500, and done, too, while $1,000 in :
terest on the public debt was being paid. In
his message to the.twelfth legislature. Davis
announced that Texas is free from debt,
aud has 500, 900 in the treasury and the
journals of that body will show that the
statement was correct. This was at the be
ginning of radical rule. When he and his
fellows went out OF office the treasury was
empty, ana four and a half millions of dol
lars worse than empty. And this enormous
debt was contracted while the people were
paying FIVE times as much taxes as are now

Some time ago we communicated

side and one on the inside of the same
frame, having rabbets on both sides;
this may do for economy, but IS subject
to the objection that the inside cannot
be cleaned without taking the glass out,
and the fact is that in the course OF time
it will in some way or other get into
such q condition as to need cleaning !;
then, when the glasses are SO close to-
gether, the protection against the outer
cold is less effective than if greater
mass Of air is included.
Invery cold countries, like Russia,
Sweden, or Canada, the need of such
protection is more felt than with us but
even here it is often adopted in exposed
localities when the parties can afford
