Frmar Morsina.—Dr. George Bennett reeumed—Mre.B. tells that I would not get a physician in time of her con- fincment, on the morning she Was confined I was out in the front'yard—being the fall of the year; that morning she took breakfast with ue at the table, in the kitchen; while raking the leaves, I went up stairs to see whether she was up there, without being called (was raking the leaves to be in readiness for any sudden call); sho was standing at the bed, in some little distress: I immediately went after the physician, Dr. Hooker; he was not at home, but at the Medical College; I wont up to the Medical College, but be was not there; I then bal back again, but he had not returned at, house; I hardly knew, then, what to do; but I knew something must be done, and Tam not quite positive which of the two doctors Ives I went to; I went to but one of them, but he did not prove to be at home; this was a very unpleasant morning, chil- | ly and unpleasant; my hoalth was miserable, and I caught & very severe cold; 1 then went home (because I was ]retty near home) to see how Mrs. B. was; or I do not know but what I weot after the nurse, before I went home, and took her there; I then went right down to Dr. Hooker's, but he had not'got back yet; and I then went for Dr. Skiff; I found him there, and wld bim I wanted. him to come immediately Lome with me; I had my car. riage, and wanted him to ride right up; there was a gen- tleman friend in the office, and Dr. Skiff said, after dinner he would go up; he was about to sit down to table; T sald Doctor you must como right away, it’s very urgent and t can’t wait; he said, well, I must take my dinner; it won't take but a'little time, and I guess it will do; I thea spoke up pretty ebarp, ‘and said, Doctor, now or never; I ought to say that the doctor had been out, and was wearied; I don't blaine him; T then Jumped into my carriage, went to Dr. Hooker's, found him at home, and in a few minutes we wore at the bedside of my wife; the nurse was there and I wes there, and all passed off charmingly; T hever proposed to attend on ber myself for any cular operation, I bad as much as I could attend to at other things—miore pleasant and more profitable; never thought of acting myself in place of a physician; don't recollect of refusing to goafter the nurse; ob, not not went down then; found nurse in readiness, aud came right up and got there in good season; and we bad a woman there who had reared up a family of children, and she was our cook; I recollect a circumstance 1 tan never forget—she (the cook) was tho first one who held the child in her banda, and she kissed it; 1 don’t know but there is sometbing in the Catholic Chureh which benefits the child by kissing it before jit is washed; I think the cook told me so; as to the laudanum story,’ Thad a severe cold, and it etill grew worse, and my peck was very stiff, and 1 could hardly turn it, and my chest was so affected by this cold that it was almost impossiple to breathe; a slight cold always affects my throat so that to swallow a litle water will strangle me almost; one evening while I felt 80 badly I got a piece of flannel and saturated it with laudanum, and at the Same t'me bathed my peck with it before I went to bed, and also took another piece of flannel, and done the same thin with my breast, apd took a pleasant night's rest; Mrs. B. lay, a5 We sometimes term it, on the back side of the bed, and the Little baby still further back, between her and the walt; I woke up in the night, and found myself tying just where J put myself when I went to bed, and the little baby between us, and pretty tightly too, for Mrs. B. was prcity close to me; I saw that all appeared to be right, and T shot my eyes and went to sleep again; in the morn- ing, Mrs. Benneit, I think, got up before I did; at she went down stairs first, and lert the {itte bed with me; I soon got up and prepared myself to go down stairs; the little baby was asleep; ‘long about nike or ten o'clock, or quite late in the morning, the little baby sppeared unusually sleepy, could wot wake it up very well; opened its little qe. tried to open them, but could not get them open; T ght nothing of it, until Mrs. B. come, like most any po mother, aud scemed to be little worried; I told ber there was nothing particularly the matter with the baby, that it probably bad inhaied the joudagum from my bathing, for it had laid in bed all night—that it ht have inhaled it, and I know it to be the case: Tthink she spoke of going to a physician tirst— atuny rate, I should not Lave gone so soon as I did if she had not urged it; Tweut to Dr. Hooker's; he was not at home; left word ou a slaie or piece of paper to come np imunediately; before I went down I went to my office, and told Mr. Beker to prepare a little lobelfa tea and give to baby while I] was cove; 1 think he is not correct in his testimeny that be gave it oi! and milk, I am quite positive 1 told bit to give the tea; the child kept on from three to five hours, and about that time, if Mm not mistaken, Dr. Booker caine up. and the baby was so that it could keep its eyes open, and did—wide awake; not quite wholly so but nearly; the Doctor dida't appear to think anything o it, but be ordered, Mrs, B. says, strong tea; T never gave the child laudanum; she told me I gave the child lauda- num; why, I could not bear to bear ber talk 80, any per- son who did not know her, and could seo her eye, would think she was a curious sort of a person; T have been try- ing to convince New Haven people I am & pretty good sort of man; I told Buker, if f told him anything—I don’t recol- Jeot—notbing further than that the child had inhaled lauda- pum; some little time after that ove of our neighbors, ike a good many neighbors, was othe habit of borrow- ng, it wae Mre. Mckee, | think, was the name; she would come inafter my axe, or some writing paper, or som letter paper, or some postage stamps—-in fact most every- thing of that kind, even batwr and all those sort of thinge—was a grand band at borrowing, | was quite pleas ed at first to lend her, but soon got tired of it; once she borrowed some silver cake buekets; Mrs. B. told me of it; why, said 1, T would not lead them; think it was not lovg since I got them, and everything was uewly got; I hike to see them around, especially when they were litle presents to Mrs. B.: 1 did speak of sending for them; next morning, while sanding by the stove with the baby inmy hands, Mrs. B. came inand | spoke of the cake baskets, they had net been returved: I called the girl while standing at the stove, or the girl wae in there, I don’t know whieh, and told her to go to the neighbor who bad borrowed them and tell her Mrs. B. wanted the cake backets, Mrs. B. told her not to say so: I told her to go on, and»! ent; Mre.
