legged that they were ignorant of the treaty

The Drought and the Heat.-The heat
during The last week has been exceedingly
oppressive. The thermometer ranging
between 90 and 9S. The surrounding
country loo, as we'll as our city, is suffer-
ins under drought of several weeks. In
the city, garden vegetables are literally
parched and dried up. and in the surround
ing country, the corn is almostin the same
situation, and yer there are no prospects
Of rain. We understand that sonie 1O or
l2miles north of this place,on Friday night
last, there was severe hail storm which
like the one that fell in the same direction,
a few weeks past; has done great deal Of
damage. Without there is an early rain,
the planters in this vicinity will lose their
crop of Corn and The Cotton will be mate
rally injured. We trus, however that the

GLASS WORKS AT SANDWICH, Mass
The yards and buildings of this estab-

py sixty dwelling houses.
The raw materials used, per annum,
are glass GOO tons red lead, 100000
pounds pearlash, 45O, 900 pounds Salt
Petre 10000 pounds.-They consume
100 cords of pine wood, 100 cords OF
oak, do. and 10000 bushels of bitum-
nous Goals.
Seventy tons Of hay and straw are
used for packing the glass.
The amount of glass ware manufac-
tured, is $500, 900 per annum said to
be superior to any other manufactured
in America, and equal to any in Europe.
BY the application Of heated air from
the steam engine, to pans containing sea

We HOPE IT MAY BE TRUE.-A Wheeling

and state that they escaped from the mines,
where they left the Col. at work. The men
are said to be respectable and all that, and
we can only hope the intelligence is true,
without arlrg to credit a thing, which has
go much the air of romance. The writer

IMPROVEMENT IN SURGERy.-We find
in the Paris Journal des Debats, the fol-
lowing account of discovery made by
nj. Guerin, in the cure of diseases of the
spine, which may be deserving of atten-
ton
AT late meeting of the Academy of
Sciences at Paris, nj. julius Gucrin, d.
rector Of the orhopodic establishment of
Sa Muette, explained the new process,
which he has already practised success
fully twelve times, in tire eating dcviations
in the height. This treatment rests on
the principles developed by nj. Guerin
in his late work, which was crowned by
the Academy, according to which the
greatest number Of articuar deformities
are the result Of muscular convulsive
contraction, arising from an affection Of
the brain, the marrow, or the nerves
themselves. In starting from this point,
the author has been led to the practice
Of dividing the tendons and contracted
muscles in devations Of the dorsal spine,
in the same manner as has been prac-
tised in deviations Of the neck He has
applied this operation to subjects of both
sexes and of different ages, in case Of a
twist in the vertebral column, with pro-
portionate gibbosity. In some cases n
single division Of the contracted muscles
was sufficient in others, it was neces-
sary to operate several times. Ilnmcdi-
ntely after the operation, n Strengthening
more or less decided was ob,aincd-and
in the case Of one young man Of the age
OF neutrality-suspicious. who had been under
a mechanical treatment for his distortion
for eighteen months, the section Of the
long dorsal muscle and the spinal cross
muscles which correspond, produced an
instantaneous Strengthening Of the entire
deviation. These operations were fol-
lowed with no accident A committee
of the Academy is to examine these new
results in surgical orthopedy.- Boston

FLoRIDA.--Indian hostilities have
broken out afresh. On the 93d ultimo
The Indians attacked Fort Mcclure,
wounded one volunteer and killed 10
horses. On the 9th they attacked a
party of volunteers on Orange Lake,
killed and took prisoners the whole party
with the exception of one horse-number
not ascertained--two whites killed. On
the 28th, as the steamer II. X. Call was
proceeding down the Suwannee, she was
twice fired on by a party of Indians
about 90 in number. Captain Wood
and the pilot returned the second fire and
killed one Indian. One Of the deck
hands Of the Call was wounded.
