ALLIGATOR OIL.

The Indians of Florida having been in
the habit of extracting a valuable oil from
the Alligator equal 10 the best sperm the
white settlers have gone into tie business
by wholesale. An expedition has left St.
Augustine for the river of St. Johns and
the dark tributary stream Of Black Greek,
swarming with these hideous creatures,
with the view of killingthem to obtain their
oil. \ gentleman writing from St. Angus
tine says:
'You know how many Of these enormous
animals are shot out of w%antGnness from the
decks OF the steamboats, that plough our wa
tiers. / expect hereafter to hear Of laws
passed for their protection. Every time an
alligator of eighteen feet long is shot in the
long grass on the river banks, or while he
is swimming, a barrel or ba,f barrel of oil
is wasted. This should not be. We must
allow them to be killed only at the proper
season, VIXEN they are fattest and not per-
init their destruction at tie season when
lay their eggs. The alligatoris e for
lnidablc locking creature, it is true, but he
is generally harmless. His Ihice is to prowl
in the sluggish waters Of this Southern re-
sion, pick up what he can, and digest it into
excellent oil for the illumination of our
houses. Aliigatcls will hereafter be esteem
as uscfu! animals as pigs-perhaPs more
so, for their keeping costs nothing. The
is that, now that tie world has dis
hat they are good for, their race
be extcrIrin&ted.

In reference to this, We desire to call attcn-

sixth section Of that act, was, that if the
duty OF Copper cent, which was levied on
ti:CSc articles which were taxed, did not
produce sufficient revenue, or produced
more than sufficient, then nothing in that
act was TO prevent an alteration of the rates
of duty on those articles taxed below &C
per cent. or the imposition Of a duty on free
articles not TO exceed 20 per cent. On any
article, 20 as 10 adjust the revenue to the
wants of the Government. This was the
principle of the compromise act-a princi-
pie which, if acted upon, would have i'm
a duty of 20 per cent. on all the free
articles, before raising the rate of duty a.
Dove 20 per cent. on any article. And it

THE HORSE CHOLERA.

To the Editor % tn Netc York Tribune
Having seen, by your papers and others, that
the disease IN horses called Cholera, is making
its ravages IN your vicinity, | propose, through
the medium OF the Tribune, To make known a
course OF treatment for that complaint which has
rarely, ii ever failed me in effeciing a cure. In
The course OF a pretty extensive practice in farrie-
~ tor twenty-five or thirty years, both in this
State and in New England, | have found nuthino
that would compare with this remedy in the
management Of the disease.
The method of treatment is this: When Tho
animal is attacked, he should be NJ. in \ stable
and allowed no food or drink, except dry bay and
milk P%orridge. thickened with wheat -four. No
kind OF grain should be allowed until perfectly
well. As soon as he is in his stable, take one
pint OF vinegar, add table spoonful OF alum. and
when dissolved, divide into three equal paris.
and give one part every two hours. In three
hours alter the last dose give the porridge: hui
not until then. In case he will not drink il. give
il occasionally by pouring down. This is yener.
ally sufficient; but in case The horse is not better
within ten hours after the last dose of VINEGAR
and alum, prepare another pint and give as be.
fore.
Rely upon this simple reatment, and do M,
doctor too much. | have no doubt thousands of
horses in this disease are doctored to DEATH
Bleeding is very bad indeed it is almost sure to
prove fatal. No physic is needed, as the disease
goes on gradually bnt surely. and leaves the
bowels IN a natural and healthy state. Be sure
to allow no cold water or grain until the hnrse is
well and keep him from exposure to night air es.
