Mysterious and Extraordinary The
Cincinnati Enquirer states, that on Satur-
day evening week, the skin of a negro boy,
apparently about five years of age, was found
floating along down the river, and was taken
on shore at Ludlow street. The scalp and
hair were above water, and at first led TO
the impression that it was human body
1t was found, however, to be a perfect hide
from head to feet, carefully skinned, even to
the toes and fingers, and as yet without
smell What tale of brutality is at the bot
tom Of this extraordinary matter? 1t is i'm
possible to conceive. Nothing Of the kind,
we are assured, was ever heard of as
coming from a dissecting room; and as to
all other sources, the mind gropes in vain,
without supposing some most aggravated
crime. Not a little excitement was created
by the discovery in the neighborhood where
it was made. The skin was floating a con-
siderable distance out from the shore when
first seen.

Treatment Of Scarlet FeUer.-In a letter
from Mr.. Edwin Chaplin, of St. Helena, S.
c., recently published in the Charleston Mer-
curry, he describes the following treatment
for Scarlet Fever, as having been eminently
successful. He says "out of "a cases where
/ administered the ialap, not one remained
In bed more than one day"
"DirectiOnS.-Immediately on the first
symptoms, which is sore throat, give a full
dose of jalap, to an adult 60, 20, or even so
grains, at night give strong red pepper tea,
from a tea cup full to a pint, according to
the age and violence Of the symptoms; the
next day gave a small dose of jalap, say
half the quantity given the day before, con-
tinue the pepper tea at night on the third
day, if there is any soreness remaining in the
throat, give a dose of salts, which will gene
rally effect a cure the doses, of course,
must be regulated according to the age OF
the patient"

CautiOn.-Travellers to Canada are in
formed that by recent instructions from the
Provincial Government, all Custom House
officers on the lines are required hereafter
to collect the duties on every horse, har-
ness and sleigh, or other vehicle, going into
the Province, whether the same is intended
for sale or return. If a team returns with
in Ia days, the duties will be refunded at
the Custom House. This arrangement will
seriously cripple our intercourse with Cana
da. No one can go in even on a pleasure
jaunt, without advancing some 30 or S25,
which is forfeited if he fails to return with
in the prescribed number of days. Team
sters carrying articles to Montreal market,
will be in the same predicament. Instead
of taking with them, as has been usual,
small sums for expenses, they must shell
over a sum equal in many cases to the value
of their load, A more pernicious and i'm
polite requirement was never made. 1t is
consoling TO reflect, however, that the Cana
dams will suffer the consequences them.
