in has by no means been reduced to fixed
science. N calculation yet made has re-

4 good deal of excitement reigned ia
Staunton for two or three days this week
by the runnor that the body of ExTreas
urer John 81. Carroll, had been found. 1t
originated in the fact that a semi-lunatic
woman at Richmond, Imagining herself
dying, confessed that her husband had
murdered man and buried him undeE the
bar. The police very nearly dug away the
foundations of the house. but could find
no body. The murder" seems, so far. to
have existed onlyin the insane magma
ton of the woman.

had done their duty. Their experience
had shown them that the Treasury could
not stand these unexpected aud unpro-

much it was their duty to do. AS to the
increase of the Treasurer's salary it was
to reward increased labor and could be-
provided for.

from; zach Of us could have a new novel

The practice of taking tea or coffee by
students, in order TO work at night, Is
downright madness, especially when pre-
pairing for an examination. More than
half Of the cases OF breakdown, loss OF
memory, fainting, etc. which occur dur
ing severe examinations, and far more
frequent than is commonly known, are
due to this. | frequently hear of prom
ising students who have thus failed, and,

Sir Spencer Wells, at a recent medical
banquet in England told the following
story Of Braithwai e, founder of the
famous Retrospect tia bears his name:

way, and he taught Tle a lesson which L

full to some Of you, you will perhaps ex-
cuse me if l indulge in what nay be
called gossip. One evening a farmer
rode up to Mr.. Marsden's, who was the
nearest medical man. to beg him 10 come

go. The farmer hesitated; but he was
very anxious, so he said, Well, lad, get

he said. 1t is very wrong to give her
brandy and water; it is the first stage Of
