surmlse after surmise had given way to a set

Our suspense was brief, for soon after the

as every individual in the ship had speculated
curing the voyage upon the chance of SEEING
Napoleon alive. However, by an easy trans
Itlon, now that he was dead, we wondered
whether we should be permitted to witness
us funeral; but as no communication was
allowed from the ships in the roads to the
shore between the hours OF shutdown and
SUNRISE we were obliged to pass the night in
conjecture Under these circumstances. we
were scarcely prepared for the news that
reached US early in the morning. 1t was
general notice to all strangers and residents,
Informing them that they were permitted TO
visit the island and witness the ceremony of
the body of GENERAL Buonaparte as it Law in

IURPENTINE.-lf any person should
be stung by bee, or other insect, rub
some spirits of turpentine on the place,
and the pain will nearly cease in one
minute. 1t is said that the pain arising
from the bite eff copper-head snake
may be arrested IN few minutes, by
the continued application of this arti-
Gle. The effect of all poison is to con-
tract the blood vessels and prevent a
tree clrculrtion, the natural conse-
quence is pain and Inflammation imme-
dlately. Spirits of turpentine by their
penetrating and expanding qualities,
soon overcome the difficulty.

TOM ATOES

The Cheraw Gazette states that in ad-

value as food for cattle, especially COWS.
1t IS said that COW fed on Tomato
vines. will give more milk, and yield
butter of finer flavor, and in greater
abundance than any other long feed
ever tried. It's thought, too, that more
good food for cattle, and at less ex-
pence can be raised for cattle from a
given quantity of ground planted in
Tomatoes, than from any other vege-
tables known in the Southern country.
Farmers look out for this, in the com
