Presidents Observation-Disclosures has been re-
ceived from the President since he has entered
Tennessee, from which we learn that he is WELL
and sustains the journey astonishingly, consid-
ering the extreme heat, and his suffering sharp
bilious attack, which detained him two or three
DAYS at Salem Virginia. The complaint yield
ed Immediately to remedies. We have no
doubt that he carried the seeds of the disease
with him from this city, as some acres OF stag
mated water have been iormedin the Presidents
grounds by the embankment of the canal, the
miasma from which had greatly affected the
health of Mrs DoneIson and her children, and
others of the Presidents family, before leaving
the city. The vigor and elasticity of the Presi-
dents constitution was remarkably evlnced by
the endurance which he maintained in discharg-
ing his arduous duties throughout the late pro-
boring in a sckly atmosphere, which subjected
even the young and sound of constitution, to
agues and inlermittento.-G GLOBE.
Healh ofthe City.-We would invite the at
tention OF the Board of Health to the marsh
made by the canal on the Presidents grounds.
1t is filed with hot water, sending up suffocat
ing steams, the etIluvia of marsh weeds and OF
city uuisdnces Of which it is made the recepta-
Gle. 1.-THE city should be visited by cholera, the
state OF this stagnant pool, will considerably in
crease the mortality Of the disease, which all
agree (however engendered,) is made preva-
lent and fatal bv an impure condition of the at
mosrbere We presume the city authorities un-
der the ORDERS OF the Board of HEALTH have
the right to abate this nuisance on the public
grounds, as in other cases, at the expense OF
the owner, that is, the Government OF the Unit
ed States. And we are sure that Congress
would CheertnIy appropriate sum oi money
to indemnify the city for whatever expense 1t

HOp TO haze Green corn m me WRter.-o1 all
the productions OF summer. there Is hardly one
more nutricious and paiateable than green Corn;
of the complaints of the season. 1t is, however,
in this, as in many other cases, that the lnge-
nuity of man has found means to turn this in
convenience into good account by preparing
and keeping this article for winter use. But the
method of doing this seems not to be universal
ly known 1t is common in many parts Of New
England, but the writer does not recollect to
have seen the prepared article IN our market.
1t may be so prepared as to be as good and as
palateabie in the winter as in lis appropriate sea
son, and may be eaten with perfect safety, II not
as promoter Of health.
The Corn must be taken rom the stalk when it
is full in the milk or in ttat state In which we
generally use 1.-THE huSks stripped off, and the
ears thrown into kettle or boiling water, where
it may remain half as long as you would boil 1t
for present use. TINS Will harden 1t so that 1t
be spread in the sun till it is thoroughly dry. In
preparing il for the table, it may be soaked from
Twelve to fifteen hours, and boiled in the same
water. But care must be taken not to boil it
too much, as that will make il hard and dimi-
nish its sweetness.
n. 3. To get the corn from the cob, every al
ternate row may be punched off with sharp
stick, and the remainder wrung off with the
hands.
