After the battle Of Waterloo, there were found
among the dead bodies several Partisan girls,
who had gone forth with their paramours, and

this an uncommon event. ''One morning."

CURE FOR CANcER.--Mr. Thomas Tyrell, Of
Missouri, advertises that cancer upon his
nose, which had been treated without success
by DR.. Smith, of New Haven, and the ablest
surgeon in the Western country, had been Gu
red ia the following manner: He was recon-
mended TO use stroug potash, made of the ashes
of red oak bark, boiled down to the consistence
of molasses, to cover the cancer with it, and in
about an hour afterward to cover with plas-
ter of tar, which must be removed after few
days, and if any protuberances remain in the
wound, apply more potash to them and the plas.
ter again, until they shall disappear; after
which, heal the wound with common salye.-
Cautery and the knife had been previously
used ia vain. This treatment effected a perfect
and speedy cure.-N Y. Com. Ado,

THE RHINoCEROsp SENTINEL.

The rhiuoceros is often accompanied by G
sentinel to give him warning, q beautiful green
backed and blue-winged bird, about the size Of
a jay, which sits on one of its horns When
he is standing at his ease among the thick
bushes, rubbing himself up against dwarf
tree, stout and strong like himself, the bird at
tends him that it may feed on the insects
which either fly about him, or which are found
in the wrinkles Of his head and neck. The
creeping hunter, stealthly approaching on the
leeward side, carefully notes the motions ofthe
sentnel-bird; for he may hear though he can
not see the rhnoceros behind the leafy screen.
If the monster moves his head slightly and
without alarm, the bird flies from his borns to
his shoulder, remains there a short time, and
then returns 10 its former strange perch; but
if the bird, from its elevated position and better
eyes, notes the approach OF danger, and flies
lp IN the air suddenly, then let the hunter be-
ware; for the rhiRocercs instantly rushes des-
,erately and Earlessly to wherever he hears
he branches crack.
