REMEDY FOR CHoLERA.-The follow
ing valuable prescription for the effective
cure of the Cholera has been received
from ]. Brooks, Esq, Vice Consul at Con-
stradt, Russia
"The principal point is TO attack the
disease the instant it is suspected take'a
stimulating dram, with peppermint, and a
few drops Of laudanum ; cover yourself
up as warm as possible, to promote per-
spiration; apply hot substances, such as
water, bran, salt, and even sand, TO the
limbs, and put a mustard pOultice over the
whole stomach. As soon as perspiration.
breaks out, and the beating Of the pulse
is restored, the complaint may be looked
upon as conquered; if it is neglected till
its last stage, recovery cannot be expect
ed" BY strictly attending to the above
simple means, Mr.. Brooks says that no
person need fear fatal consequences.

I5slt may be that SOM of our readers
do not like TO see the Constitution and By
Laws of the Sons of Temperance appear
in our columns. To such grumblers we
have no apologies to make, and if they do
not like II, we can't help 1t. Some men
seemto think that printers are like a,high

nough 10 believe that we can stand almost
as much as any body else, but we can't
get out a newspaper, print ID book Of 30
pages, do'a variety of other job work, all
in a week, not counting the hundred and
one other little things that we have 10 do,
nor considering that we are editors, com
positbrs, pressmen; rOller-boys, 'dcvaS,'
and every thing else connected with a
printing office. We hope there may not
be any such grumblers, or if there be a.
ny, we wonld like 10 give them our place
for the next two or three weeks, as ii fire.
quently happens that some men who new
or spent two hours in a printing Office al
any one Time, know more about the bust
ness than men who have worked at il
for twenty years. But as We set out to
say that if there be any who dislike such
things, we hope they will let us know it,

Il Subterraneaa Lake. The
Michigan Central Railway con-
tractors Weyt OF Niles, lately
met with most singular csualty.
1t became necessary to carry a
grading or embankment of if
teen feet high across a low piece
of ground, containing about 100
acres, nearly dry enough for
plough-land. When they had
progressed with the grading for
some distance, it became too
heavy for the soil to support,
the crust of the earth broke in,
and the embankment sunk down
into Seveniy-nine feet Of wdtcr.
1t appears that the piece Of
ground had been a lake, but
had collected a soil Of roots,
peet, muck, &C., on its surface,
apparently from ten 10 fifteen
feet thick which had become
hardened and dry enough for
farm purposes. Mr.. Brooks
thought it would have support
ed an embankment of five feet
thickness, and that if it had not
been necessary for them TO have
one much heavier, it would have
supported the road ; and the
fact might never have been dis
covered that it rested on the
bosom of a lake.

Hon. Daniel Webster said in
a late speech:
81 say that all agitations and
attempts to disturb the relations
between master and slave, by
persons not living i'll the slave
States, are unconstitutional in
their spirit, and, in my opinion,
productive of nothing but evil
and mischief. / countenahce
none of them. The manner in
which the government of those
States where slavery exists are
to regulate it, is for their own
consideration under their res
possibility to their commitments,
to the general laws of proprie-
ty, humanity and justice, and to
God. Associations formed else
where, springing from a feeling
of humanity, or any other cause,
have nothing whatever to do
with it. They have never re-
ceiyed acknowledgement from
me, and they never will. In
my opinion, they have done
nothing but to delay and defeat
their own profeSsed objects.
