CURE FOR rHE BITE OF A R-ArrIrssAxE.-

CURE FOR THE BITE OF A RATTLEsNAKE.-
The Houston (Texas) Morning Star of the
2Ist ultimo, states that a few weeks since a
little child was bitten by a rattlesnake near
this city, fortunately however, a gentleman
was visiting at the house where the accident
occurred, who was somewhat skilled in medi-
cal science, and he washed the bitten arm of
the child with some hartshorn, (~voIotile aIkaIi)
and gave tea spoon full of the spirits of harts-
horn to the child in a glass of water. The
child uuder this treatment soon recovered, and
it probably owes it's life to the care of this
gentleman, who was accidentally visiting the
family at the time. Parents in Texas should
always keep a small quantity of the spirits of
hartshorn volatile alkal) on hand, as 1t is the
best remedy that can be applied to a wound
occasioned by the bite of a snake. the sting of
a scorpion, or any other venomous animal.
Where hartshorn annot be obtained, the part
bitten or stung should be washed with strong
ley of wood ashes, ank half a teaspoon full Of
the ley mixed with water should be given to
the person wounded, every half hour until
the pain abates. These remedies should be
kept in mind by every person residing in Sec
tons where venomov snakes or insects are
found. eJ

MUTINY IN THE GULY-OD her late pas
sage from Havana to this port, when Is miles
off the Balize, in lat. 900 13', lon. $50 90, a
fnutiny occurred on board the schooner Here,
Capt. Golding, Of which The following partic-
ulars are taken substantially from the log Of
the schooDer:-- fEa ~
On December 3D., g p M, while getting
ready for stays, the mate (Rogers) gave a
seaman named Rock orders TO let 90 the main
stay. He paying no attention, the mate gave
order a second and third time, and then Rock
asked what stay. The mate told him the main
stay, and said it was very hard lately to make
him understand. Rock then uttered mutin-
GUS language and struck him, and the mate
laid hold Of him. At first the mate got him
DOWNRIGHT. Golding tried 10 part them but
could not. Rock endeavored to get at his
knife; at that time Capt. G. gave him q kick,
which separated them. Rock then cIinched
the mate, and bit and beat him severely.
While In this situation, another seaman ma
med Joe raisel a handspike to strike the mate
but the steward arrested the blow. Then
Rock took q part Of a grindstone and struck
the mate in the breast, ank afterwards chased
him aft and sweie he would hill him. At
that time The vessel was under double reefed
sails and a very heavy sea running. The
next morning, while turning reefs out and
hosting the mainsail, Rock came up to the
mate and collared and struck him several
times, while the mate had one arm in a sling,
with a marling spike, which he drew from bis
pants, Capt. Golding called on the rest Of
the men for assistance, but only one man went
between them. Rock then pulled his knife
out and chased Capt. g. and swore he would
kill him, fourishing bis knife and using mutt
nous la gusge. Afterwards he went and
sharpened his knife, and Capt. @. fearing he
would kill the mate, stood watch himself un.
til he got a pilot.
Rock was brought TO the city in irons, but
has since given bail to the amount Of $1,000
for his appearance before the Criminal Court

CAUTION TO SLAVES.

Thomas X. Collins, one OF our citizens

ran off last fall or winter. The boy had
been but a short time IN Canada when he
found that he had gained nothing by running
off He found that he had to work harder
than at home, and only got the promise Of 5
or 6 dollars per monih-less than he could
earn here for pocket money, and had great
trouble ~ sneing &c. 10 get what be earned.
The snow, too, and cold, Of that bleak and
Nothern climate appalled, him, and made him
wish himself at home where there was sua
enough to grow tobacco. He wrote repeated
Iy to his n,astcr, urging him TO conne 10 him.
promising most solemny if he would Just
brig him back, to be one of the m ost faith
full servants living, in future. Mr.. G ut last
took pity on him and brought HIM home.
David says that Capt Barnett's man Charles
and several others belonging 10 Messrs.
Glascock, Garrard, Beebe, Rackllfe and
others, are at or near where he. was, and
are ali anxious TO return. in fact they would
return in spite Of efforts to detain them, liz

or We are sorry to record the following,
but we do IL ms d warning to those who be-
lieve in the infalIibility Of their pastors. This
Is The fourth minister found guilty Of n SINH
lar crime within three months. We think the
crime of seducing an innocent and %yirtuous
female, ought TO be punished nearly as severe
ly as a rape, but when 1t comes with the cloak
Of religion, and the confidence that sacred
mantle inspires, especially In young and un-
suspecting females, IL ought to be visited with
capital punishment. ASIA a#lH2afas5at 4

The trial continued three entire days and
evenings, and after a most painful and Impair
tial investigation, he was convicted on all the
charges and deposed from The ministry. The
victim of seduction was a girl only II years
Of age, and a member of his church,. But we
forbear to remark upon the enormity Of the

NAMES N REALITIES.

A work has been published in Paris, entitled
"Slsvey and Liberty-the existence Of man
and OF society in harmony with the laws Of
The Tsiyerse.'' The following passage IL ia.
ken from it:
"Slsyery's great fault Is in the name. In
France and in England workmen and house
servants are more unfortunate, more Deepen.
dent, than any negro slave. | resided more
Than eight years IN the slave section of the
United States. | have compared tho condi-
lion Of The slaves in those States and In the
West Indies with thatof The workmen of Lille,
Lyons, Rouen, Arniens, st. Guenliene, and
Tfoyes.-l beheld the misery of the latter,
their known dependence, and despite my pre-
JUDGES against slavery. | was soon convinced
that, as regarded It's bearing on the physical
constitution, material and perfection Of the
arts, slavery was preferable, and would pro.
duce far superior results 10 any afforded by
The pretended liberty Of French aud English
workmen."
This 10 the view ofan observer who appears
10 be AZ, intelligent man. We give it for
what il is worth, and in belief that il may sug-
gest reflections on the subjects referred TO,
apart from The influence Of names and preiu-
dlees, operating either way upon the mind.

lish workmen is--whaf! Look nj them, not
as men, but as parts Of the machinery Of hue
man life and action, and let any one say in
what their liberty consist. Can they detach
themselves from the social structure within
which they are fixed, and from the position In
which They are compelled 10 bear The chief
pressure of the whole fabric! They have the
freedom Of working for a scanty Subsistence,
provided any body will give them employment,
otherwise the freedom Of the w~orkhouse or
liberty TO starye is the privilege Of the Eng
llsh laborer. 1t is hard TO conceive Of q sys-
tenn Of seryitude more surely and inevitably
adapted TO the destruction Of human sympa-
tbies, than this system Of British servjtude, by
which an entire class are made to traffic away
their labor, their freedom, their all, upon terms
prescribed BY others, their superiors-BaHi-
more American.
