Court for Help.
Mrs. Mary Lyman, of John street, ac-
companied by bright little twelye-year-
old boy, entered the office of Justice
Peloubet this morning. Mrs. Lyman told
the Justice that the boy had been adopted
by her and that she loved him as much as
she could her own son, but that after car
ing for him several years she was no
longer able to do so. She was compelled
to go out by the day to work and was
forced to ask that the boy be sent to some
institution to be taken care of.
Mrs. Lyman cried bitterly while telling
her story, and so did the boy when he
realized they were to be separated. The
justice was so greatly effected by the
scene that TO the great JOY of the adopted
mother he agreed to employ the boy in
his office as an errand boy, and the good
hearted foster morher and her ward will
not after all be separated.

Signs of Approaching Death.

The eminent DR.. Chiappoli states that
he has frequently noticed in patients,
apparently very far from death, an extra
ordinary opening Of the eyelids, so much
80 as to give tho eyes an appearance of
protruding from their orbits, which he
considers an invariable sign that death
will occur within twcnty-four hours. In
some cases, when only one eye is wide
open while the other remains normal,
death will not follow quite so rapidly,
but will take place within seventy-two
hours, there being not the slightest
chance for recovery after these symp-
toms set in, however remote final disso-
luton may seem to be. Chiappoli says
he is utterly at loss for an explana-
ton of this doath symptom, but as
cribes it to diseased state of the SYM
