Odontalgia, or Tooth Ache The tooth ache in
general arises from one diseased TOOTH athoug h
the pain seems 10 come from all. In bad cases, the
are either cold or violence acting upon the
nerve OF a carlous tooth; yet pain similar 10 this
frequently arises from rheumatic affection of the
jaw itself and in pregnancy il is sympathetic
affection. When small spot appears upon The
tooth as 1t were, eating it away, the person should
most particularly attend to the use oil the tooth
brush in order 10 remove frequently as possible
carious portions OF it. When this spot extends and
penetraes into The substance OF the tooth, the air
and various acrid bodies get into it, and iritate the
nerve-and when this takes place, ii is usual to in
troduce Bit OF lint dipped in either oil OF Cloves

oil OF turpentlne, put INFO the hollow of carous

We must confess that we no remedy SO good as
the extraction OF The TOOTH To prevent return oil
the disease, the hole should be widened by dentis,
and stopped up with leaf gold, or leaf lead, and thus

The spirit in which Mr.. Crawford's friends cleo
tioneer for him, will only nure their candidate, and
their measures will recoil upon themselves. We
give the following as specimen:-
The Presidency for William H. Crawford
a Proessorship OF Rhetoric ior John Quincy A.
dams-the palm of eloquence, and pile Of cot
ton baggiag for Henry Clsy-militaty honors on.
ty for General Jacksonville just rerard Of in
trigue and daPicity for John c. Calhoun-a hal.
ter for .Ainian Edrards and iMtamy to his aiderS
and aGetfors.''
Mr. Edwards was treated much in the same way
in many places in Virginia, and what was his crime !:
Simply for having darrell TO make certain charges
against Mr.. Crawford, every one oil which was
proved true. and acknowledged to be so by The
Committee, by testimony wholly independent OF
his own. The toast above gwen, which was drunk
at Amherst Cour, House, Va, is disgrace to the
county. i; would disgrace band OF savsges
And the only possible excuse Tor those who drank
it, IS that ii may have been hccuped down at late
hour. ". L. Spectator.

SINGULAR CURIOSITY.

We have seen curiosity, recently
found by Mr. Steubcn Taylor, among for.
reign ballast, on one of the wharves iu
this town, which. we believe, is withouta
parallel. 1t consists of the Cross, the
Crescent, and the Papal Crown, distinctly
in hard chalky substance, re-
sembling fine indurated mortar. The
perpendicular beam Of the Cross is one
inch and five tenths in height, and one
eighth of an inch in width. The trans.
verse beam is nine tenths of an inch in
length; of the same wedth with the per.
penlicular; crossing it about three eishths
of an inch from the top. The Crescent
is at the foot of the Cross, on the left side,
with its horns turned from tits chord
measures four tenths of an inch, and is
parallel with the perpendicular OF the
Cross. The Crown is an inch below, or,
viewing it as in perspective, is some dis
|tance in front of the Crescent, with an in
dex pointing towards it from darker payt
lof the stone, resembling thick clouds oil
smoke. All of these figures consist ola
brown silex, which forms contrast with
the stones in which it is imbeded, similar
to that Of ink with paper. Journal.
