A Valuable Nep Wheat.--We
were yesterday shown a few heads
of wheat, from field OF IL acres on
the farm Of Mr.. J. E. Coad, in St.
Mary's county, (not far from Piney
Point in Maryland, of so remarkable a
quality as to deserve a special notice.
The grain is a bearded white wheat,
with large heads and grains, the ave.
rage height through the whole field be-
ing at this time full six feet, ofa most
vigorous growth. Besides the product
of this field, it is remarkable that the
field from which these stalks were taken
is the only field in the neighborhood in
which rust is not visible. The seed of
this wheat was obtained by distribution
from the Patent Office, the description
of it being bearded white wheat, pro-
1ucing forty bushels to the acre; pro-
iuct which, or very nearly which, is ex-
oecteG, from its appearance, to be real

CURE FOR CHoLERA.-The Mexican
papers state thatin that country, where
the cholera has ragged terribly during tho
last year, a sovereign cure for the
scourge has been discovered, tits the
,'rais del IndiO," (the Indian root.)
The Monitor advises the Government
to lose no time in collecting large guam
titles Of this root and giving it gratis to
the poor. A portion of the root, the
size ofa nut, is infused in a quart of wa
ter. The water is then divided into
eight doses, one Of which is given every
fifteen minutes. II is very seldom tina.
more than four doses are taken before
the dreadful symptoms cease.
