WINTER CONFERENCE.-THE time is
at hand whennnmerous complaints com
mon to this season are to be noticed.
The Group among children is one of the
most alarming, and its effects are so sud
den and fatal, any prescription for its
cure cannot but be acceptable. The first
and perhaps the most effectaal means to
be employed when medical advice is
not at hand, is the application OF hot
almost boiling-water with sponge,
TO the throat and upper part of the chest.
This repeated every two minutes will
soon relieve the most desperate case. A
blanket dipped in hot water may also be
wrapped about the patient, which an
swers as substitute for warm bath
Twenty drops of wine OF anthony in
little sweetened water, may also be adj
ministered. We believe this is the most
important ADVICE that can be given in

A NOBLE RESOLUTION.

Among other resolutions passed at a
meeting of the Mobile Rife Corps, Sres-
peciful to the worth and memory Of NJ.
J. Wheeler, late lieutenant 10 that com
pauy, was one adopting his only child
a beautiful little girl, seven years of age
and pledging themselves to cherish, sup.
port and educate her. This was a no,
bic and magaanimous act and cannot be
extolled in tone too high aud exalted
The father was man of high aud emo
bled feelings, was better friend to 9th.
ers than to himself, and left that only
pledge Of his love 10 his wife which the
members Of the Rifle Company have a
dopted as their own. This is a beauii
full moral upon the character of our young
population. They now stand to her as
q father, and they are TO cherish, educate
and support her. Mobile Chronicle.

Tooth Ache.-Creasote, we See by
most of the foreign medical journals, is
highly recommended for this painful
disease. First cleanse the cavity of the
affected tooth thoroughly, then apply
the creasote with fine camel's hair
brush, and afterwards fill the cavity
with piece of cotton. This substance
has become quite panacea in Europe,
and very many Important cures have

Temperance By confract.-An employ
er at Springfield, Mass, contracted not
long since with one of his iourneymen
that he should work alta stipulated price,
and not drink any ardent spirits, under
pain or forfeiture of a certain amount
Of kis wages. The journeyman broke
his contract, and then sued his employ
er for the amount Of the forfeiture, on
the ground that the contract was OF an IN
considerable character, contrary to sound
public policy, and the policy of the la W
generally, and ought not therefore to be
susteined-that it was analogous to bets
made upon the happening of future con-
tingent events. Judge Strong, however,
made decision confirming the contract
n full.
