" LIST OF PROCLAIMED JoxEs."—Nobody is ball forth permitted to say—That an elderly gentleman el; :
nected with railways is a railway buffer. Nor that °to
comotive is like a policeman—because it takes it'll
up to the station. Nor that a slow train, followed by
quick one, is like the letter W—because the I
pl'es9o;
on behind. Nor that a partizan of the Great We gt„ ;,),
line is like a stout exciseman—because he is a Lys°
gauger. Nor that the wheels upon railways are labi.l to
cated with train oil. Nor that railroads intended for t'o,il‘
conveyance of luggage are therefore to be called tr.to
lines.—Bubbles of the Boiler. • •
THE COLD EARTH CURE.—The " cold earth"
seems destined to rival the " cold water cure."
day last week, an old man from Shields arrived fr"rs,
his native place, High Coniscliffe, near Darlinalt`;(l
suffering very much from paralysis, which had deprlf I
him of the use of one side. He said he was told to go
himself buried two feet deep in his" native soil," and
would be cured. The poor fellow, strong in faith, gots 010
to dig a hole by the Tees-side, into which he got, and fl
covered over for a couple of hours, his head only 110
visible ! He had not been long in his grave beat ei
broke out into a profuse perspiration. He complll,ios
of excruciating pain in the side where before he 15t0,,,5"
feeling at all, and after his exhumation he declare a int;
self btter, could walk nimbler, and had some fee lig '
his side. A correspondent of the Durham Advertise r, W
g,
thinks the " cold earth" cure "not to be laughed at,' 41011,
"on the authority of an informant at Darlington, a, IP, be
tese physician was, some forty years since on a visit to
father of my informant, who, in the course of con wer
tion, asked him what treatment he prescribed in en or
tack of the plague, to which the physician replied. in
ore
imperfect English, "We do take the people ti os .
seized, and do bury them in the ground till tl tetrhoi
swear." " Swear, doctor, swear, did you say?
can swearing have to do with their cure? You pr( Ono
mean sweat instead of swear." " Ahl yes; sweat
is the word; we do bury them in the ground till tb ef
sweat."—Newcastle Journal.
