The boy stood on the burning deck
Whence all but him had fed;

Shone round him DER the dead.
Yet beautiful and bright he stood,

A creature of heroic blood. A !
A proud, though child like form.
The flames rolled on-hc would not go,
Without his Fathers word;

And looked from that lone post of death,
In still, yet brave despair. 8

Rdtal aGTdy.-A earning to drunkards.---A
man Of the name of Van Slyck, met with a
sudden termination to his earthly career, at
Onondaga Hollow, on Saturday evening, in
consequence of an unprovoked assault by him,
while in state Of maddening inebriety, upon
DIR. Frederick C. Wright, of this town, who
replied with blow Upon the forehead of Van
Slyck, at the same time planting his knee in
his side pretty emphatieally, it is presumed.
Van Slyck reeled, and came to the ground
gasped few times, when his spirit, 81 unan-
unannealed,'' winged her fight to
meet her dreadful Judge. The ARRAY was
wholly unsought and unexpected by Wright,
who has always sustained good reputation
in this vicinity, where he has been a resident
several years. Wright Immediately after the
occurrence surrendered himself, and was re-
taned until the result of the inquest was known
when he was discharged. The jury, Judging

ASHCuUe0ttSN.~-1 nc tOllOWing simple rem
edy for this excruciating disorder was COM
some time ago, by friend, who
stated that he had frequently known it pro-
ductive of the most salutary effects Take
ripe cucumbers, cut them into halves and
remove all the seeds: let the cavity then
be filed with common fine salt, and the
two parts be bound together. When thus
put the cucumbers into clean
iron vessel, without any water; cover. the
vessel, and place it over slow FIRE. In
an hour or two the salt and cucumbers, ex-
ccpt the rind, WILDE converted into clear
lymph, which, when cool, should be bottled
for use. Battle the parts affected two or
three times day, with this water. at the
same time rubbing them wei either with
the hand or piece of flannel. At this
season of the year, the means of testing
this remedy, is in the power of. almost eve-
ny one we therefore make no other COM
ment, than that those who would know
more about it may try the experiment.
