REMEDY FOR BURNS.

Editor u. $. GaZette-Dear Sir 81 have SO
often seen remedies for human ills given to the
newspaper, and mt once cons gned to oblivion,
that have for great while hesilated 10 pre-
sent this to the public. For fourteen years
have prescribed it, and witnessed its healing eff
fects. ] deliberately say from fourteen years
experience that disease or injury to the hu-
man system has a more certain remedy than
this for the mcst distressing OF oil injuries, that
of scalds and burns. The relief is almost in
Simultaneous from minute to half an hour,
will usually find full relief from pain. No
matter what the extent of the burn, even if all
the skin is removed from the body, The first
knowledge had Of it was the almost miracu-
lous cnre of little boy who fell into halfhogs
head of boiling water, prepared for scaldlng the
limbs of The boy, passed under the scalding wa
ter up to the chn,so as to scald his whole nerk.
On removing his clothes, his arms, chest, back,
abdomen, and almost every bit of skin from his
| lower eXtrenties. In this deplorable condition,
| literally hayed alive with scalding water, the
remedy was promptly applied, momentary
application until the physicians should arrive
| Two eminent physicians soon came, and on
learning the extent of the scald, pronounced it
a certainly fatal case, and directed The hoy to
remain with the remedy over him until he
should die. In six weeks he was restored quite
well, with scarce n scar on any part of his per-
son or limbs Tie remedy increases in value
from the fact, that under almost all circumstan-
ces it may be Obtained. It is as follows Take
| SCOT from a chimney wher wood has burned,
rub il fine and mix one paIt SCOT TO three parts
or nearly so Of hogs lard, fresh butter any
kind of fresh grense that is not sailed spread
this on linen or muslin, or any cotton cloth for
easier and more perfect adoption. If in very
| extensive burns or scalds the cloth should he
ttorn into strips before putting over the scald.-
Let the remedy he free and fully applied, so
as to perfectly cover allhe burned parts No
other application is required until the patient is
well, except to apply fresh applications of the
SCOT and lard, &c.
In steamboat explosions, this remedy can in
neasly all cases be at once applied, and if done,
many valuable lives will be saved, and vast
amount of suffering aleviated.
IL you and the corps editorial, will hand this
remedy around our country and invite attention
| to it, and that also those who use it may give
their testimony for against, feel assured that
in few months, this most efficacious and al
most unfailing remedy will be every where
known and used in the United States.

THE LADY OF THE FIRST GOVERNOR OF YER
MONT An Authentic .Anecdcte.
Thomas Chttenden, the first Governor of VI.
who was pI,tia= farmer, alike remarkable for
strong native powers ofinind, and the republican
simplicity, with which he conducted everything
in his public duties and in his domestic esab
ishmemt, was once visited by party OF fashion
ab|es from one Of our cities. When the hour of
dinner arrived, Mrs. Chittenden, to the astonsh-
rneht Of her lady guests, went out and blew
tin horn for the workmen, who soon arrived;
when to the still greater surprise, and even hor.
ror, of those fair cits, the whole company, gov
ernor, his lady, guests, workmen and all were
invited 10 sit down together to the substantial
meal which had been provided for the occasion.
After the dinner was over and the ladies' were
left by themselves one of the guests thought she
would gently take Mrs Chittenden to task for
this INDUSTRIOUS violation of the rules of city gen.
tilty to which she had been, she thought so
uncourteousy made n victim.
'You do not generally sit down to the sa,ne
table with your workmen, suppose, Mrs Chit
tenden| She commenced.
Why replied the governors lady, whose
quick wit instantly appreciated the draft of the
other, 'why, am almost ashamed to say, we
generally have, but | intend soon 10 amend in
this particular. l was telling the governor this
very morning, that it was an absolute shame
that tt workmen who did all the hard labor
should fare no better than we who sit SO much
of the time in The house, earning little or nothing
and am determined hereafter, TO set two tables
the frs, and best for the workmen, and the
last and poorest for the governor and MYSELF

Seminary for Young Ladies. Pray, Miss, what
part ofspeech is the parson of the parish
suppose he is conjunction, Madam. A coli
junction, Miss? What kind of conjunction +?
A copuiatire conjunction, Madam.

moods Q

in IL mood to he married, and are thus in like
moods ar.sH, "H
But how does he connect like tenses''
ifboth are DESTROYS, at the time of the cere-
mony, Of being Immediately united, as, pre-
sumo is always the case, in the present tease and
thus he connects like lenses e.
Does such q copulative conjunction connect
like genders? .1n. 7!a n
No, -Madam;-that is not according to the
rules of Cupid's grammar His rule is, that
"copulative conjunctions" connect unlike gen.
ders, orrather contrary genders;"-that is mas
cune and feminine,-never the neuter. . sg
