IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

Mr. Aaron Hannum, respectable citizen Of
| this county, has discovered sovereign RENE
DIV for the expulsion of Worms from children
the remedy is simple and one that can be OBJ
tanned at al! seasons of the year. The follow
| ing are few of the particulars as related to
us. He says, while several OF his children
were going to their grandmother's in April
last, on visit they for amusement, took from
the limbs or twigs Of the Cedar trees, what is
generally called the Cedar Apple or Knot
One of them who had been always very much
afflicted with worms, since the age of two years
old (now between six and seven) and every thing
had been done for her in the power of skill
ful physician for their expulsion, but all to no
effect, and was in very delicate state OF health,
eat several Of the apples-the consequence was,
that several worms were expelled from her
the remedy was again administered and in
twelve hours three hundred and up,cards came
from her Mr.. II. to be satisfied as to its eff
cacy gave the apples to FIVE of bis children,
who were all in good health-it had the same
effect as upon the hrst-he also eat several OF
the Apples himself, and the effect was the same
Thus through the medium OF mere chance, per-
haps one Of the best remedies, & the most SIM
pie has been discovered. Mr.. H. makes the a.
bove public with view TO bene6, his fellow ciii-
zens, an act, in our opinion, truly praiseworthy
and magnanimous He recommends to those
who feel disposed TO try the experiment, that
the Apples should be eaten nine mornings in
succession, fas,ing-if dry TO be pounded fine,
and taken in Moasses-or eat them just as they
come from off the tree. At this season OF the
year, the Apple or Knot are TO be found in
great abundance on the Cedar trees.
IN the first number Of the Gardeners Maya
zine. conducted by Mr. Loudon, and just pub
Gsbed. is a paper on the best modes OF washing
water crosses and other salads, so as to free
them from the larvae of insects and worms.
The method is very simple, and consists in
merely placing the salad in salt water or sea
water, for three or four minutes, which is sufi-
Gent to kill and bring out the worms; after
which the vegetables are washed in fresh water
in the usual way.
Military Pohieness. Notwithstanding the fu :
~ with which the battle Of Fontenoy was con-
tested. the action began with great show OF
civility. Lord Charles Hay, captain Of the
English guards, advanced before The ranks, &
Count d'An,eroche, lieutenant OF grenadiers
in the French guards, stepped forward to meet
him: aGentlemen of the French guards said
the English captain, fire." mo, my Lord"

OPPOSITION.


We have recently conversed with an intelli-
gent gentleman, OF the Interior Of Virginia,
who left his home in March, visited Washing
ton, and took tour from thence through Balti-
more and Philadelphia TO New-York In that
state he tarried sometime, visiting different
places By the route Of the canal and the Lake,
he came to Portland, and from there through
this state to Cincinnati. He states that when in
Washington, the excitement that prevailed
there surprised him. But that in every other
place where he has been, he found one gen,.
raj sentiment Of disapproba,ion against the
course Of the opposition. The only marked
and decisive feeling was dissatisfaction, not at
the administration, but against the topics and
the temper Of the fault-fnders in Congress. He
found many who expressed themselves not ia
vorably disposed towards the individuals who
composed the administration; but even these
were often indignant at the manner of attack
commenced and carried on in Congress. This
accorGs with our own observation. We trust
tina, the members of Congress, after comming-
Gin with their fellow citizens for time, will
return TO Washington next December, wiser
men, and more temperate in their hostility 10

POETRY.

DENNlS llAMPSON-THE LAST BARD OF ERIN
The tame OF the brave shall no longer be sounded,
The last OF our bards now sleeps cold in his grave;
MaggilEgans rocks where his LAYS have resountled
FroWn dark at the ocean, and spurn at the wave.
For, IIampson, no more shall thy soultouching fin
Steal sweet er the strings, and wild melody pour;
No more near thy hut Shall the villagers lingcr,
Nh!:c strains from tn; harp MARBLE soft round the
shore.
No more thy harp svens with enrapturcd emotion,
Thy wild CLEANS OF fancy forever are fed;
No longer thy mnstrclsy charms the rude ocean,
That rolls near the green turf which pillows thy
head.
Yet yisor and youth with bright visions had fred
thce
And rose,buds of health have blown deep on thy
check;
The songs Of the Rards of Erin inspired thee
And urged thee to wander Ike laurcs to seek
Yes, oft hast thou sung of our kings crown'd with
glory,
Or, signing, repeated the lovers fond Law
And oft hast thou sung of the Bards famed in story
Whose wild notes Of rapture have long passed
away.
Thy grave shall be screened from the blast and the
bilIow.
Around it fence shall poserity raise
Erin's children shall wet with tears thy cold pillows
Her youth shall lament thee, and carol thy lays.
