PuriGed dPyroMgneoMsAcid.

Y ly established the fact, that the flavor
of meat prepared in this manner, is equal, if
not superior, To that given by the common
mode ofsmokng. For safety, convenience,
economy, cleanliness and despatch, this
mode of smoking has many advantages O.
yer the common one.
There are two modes Of using this Acid,
which have proved equally successful. One
is to mix it with the pickle, in the proper
ton of one quart to 80 VT ofmeat, and
when the meat has lain in it about weeks,
it mag be taken out and hung up to dry
The other mode is to bathe over the meat
3 or times with the Acid, after il has
been saltcd; which may be done with
brush, sponge or rag, dipped in the Acid.
The subscriber having given the above
Acid two trials, is fully satisfied that it is
equal to the accounts given Oft above, and
confidently recommends the use oft to his
Customers; who may be supplied with il at

Brazil are not generally disposed TO ra-
tity the treaty Just concluded det,esea hiis

troops was taking place throughout the
empire Of Brazil The levy was
made by CONSUMPTION, aud many oil
the young men had escaped, and coli
cealed themselves TO avoid it, The
cause of this proceeding is attributed
to the dissatisfaction entertained 10y the
people of Brazil to that part OF the late

that The king of Portugal shall bear, in
common with Don Pedro, the title OF
Emperor of Brazil. IL is supposed,
therefore, that it would require the

POISONED WOUNDS.

We n oticeG some days since (oide
Courier, 18th inst.) the recent specula-
tons of DIR. Barry, an English physi-
clan, at Paris. with respect to the mo-
ton of the blood in the veins, which he
Or. b. attributes, it seems, entirely to
atmospheric pressure.
BY the following paragraphs, extrac-
ted from the PARIS Globe, of the 18th
inst. it will be seen that this gentleman
has just made a new application of the
same principle, and one which promises
to be practically useful, for should the
statements which follow, with respect
to the non-absorption of poisons from
wounds, be Confirmed by further expe-
rience, the application of a cuppingglass,
or the ancient practice of sucking with
the lips, will soon super.ede the knife
and the cautery, at present so generally,
and, we believe we may add, SO frutless-
ly. employed in eases of wounds receiv-
ed from rabid or We nomous animals.
'At its last meeting 10Th instl DR..
Barry laid before the Academi de Me-
decline very interesting communica-
ton, 10 which he states, that having been
led, by his opinions with respect to the
motion of the blood in the veins, to con-
clude that the absorption of any poison
Gus matter deposited upon wound
might be prevented by producing rs-
CUM over the part, he had been indu-
ced to institute some experiments upon
living animals for the purpose of ascer-
flaming this point, and that those expe-
yiments had been successful.
"Thus. after laying bare portion of
muscle, aud depositing thereon a guam
tit of strich,arne, (the active principle
OF nur pDmica) or some hydrocyanic
(prusstc) acid, he found that the appli-
cation of an exhausted capp.ngglass to
the part, not only prevented the ABSORB
ton IF these substances in the first in
stance, but even arrested its progress
after tetanic commissions had already
commenced

miraculous Escape.-A very narrow
escape from death occurred near this
village on Monday last MIR. Charles
Woodcock att mpted to decend into
a well which haa Just been stoned up,
belonging to the Rev Elisha Fucker,
and when about 6 or feet from the top,
the stone, caved in below and about
him, which completely fastened him to
the spot, without his being able TO move
a single limb, except the fingers Of one
hand. In this situation he remained
for three hours--the stones over him
forming apartures which enabled him
to respire tolerably freely. The al
arm being given, large number of CT
tizens repaired to the spot, and after
nearly three hours toll succeeded in
bringing him out. after he had become
much exhausted The well was rising
of 90 feet in depth, and he could from
time to time give information of his 81
tuation and feelings.
Mysterious circumstance. An unusual
excitement has been created in this
town by the disappearance last night of
Thomas Bull, Esq. an old and respecta-
BILE inhabitant. A few minutes before
his disappearance he wrote an article,
in which he disposed of his property,
from which we nave been permitted to
make the following extract in which he
takes leave of his wife and children, and
discloses his intentions:
"Pomfret, Noe. 9th, 1926,

Now with heart perfectly clear of do
ing any wrong to any one, and | hope
in every respect to forgive those that
have injured me, may God reward them

Although considerable search has
been made, he has not yet been found
more general search is to be made
to- morrow. No cause can be assigned
for this step He was in easy circum-
stances, and had been married but q
few months to his second wife.
