THE WATER-CURE in AMERICA.
IT Obedlent servant,
JOHN C. w ARREN

The new method of healing diseases, which goes by
the OF the waer-cure, had its origin, read
will all remember, only few years ago, in SHES
ian peasant, who was in the habit of relieving his
friends and neghbors, when they diseased OF bruis
ed. by cop1ous dpEuativrts snrinns and ,,una,,s
His success in these cases was astonishing that
his fame soon began to spread-persons from distance
were attracted to his humble cottage to get assistance
in their ailments and it not m3nY m94Rs TIE Rl c
commodation of his visitors and patients. Since then
his establishment which is Graefenburg, has grown
large, that is estimated to be worth about three
millions of dollars. Similar establishments, though moi
quite extensive, have been erected in all the differ
ent nations Of the continent, and several of them in
England.
We do not know by whom the water cure was first
introduced into this country, bu. find that already
large number of physicians both male and female have
embraced the practice of it, and that several flourish
ing institutions, where il is applied, are in full opera
ton, both ncity and country In New York. DR.. Trail
has large mansion ia Laight street; Mrs Cove Mich
OILS, in Lexington avenue, and Dr. Shew in University
place. These said to be constantly crowded with
patients Besides the patients, there are others who
frequent these places for the sake of the waercare
regimen which is observed in all their arrangements
But the retreats in the country, believe are gen.
orally preferred by those who do not wish to expose
themselves the insaubrious influences of the town
air. There are some fifteen or twenty of these
The Lowell Water-Cure is situated on an eIninepce
on the opposite side of the river from the Citv of
Spindles," but commanding full view of it and of the
merimac, which almost encrcles it. The scenery is
beautiful and when the factories are illuminated IN the
evening, the view is splendid
But, perhaps, the Oldest and one Of the best in this
country, is the Brattleboro' Establishment II has
good accommodations for hundred and fifty guests.
Besides the water-cures above described there are
some others in Massachusetts. One in Athol, one in
Boston, under the Of DR.. Prior and another in
charge Of a Dr. Gleason. There are others at North
ampon, Springfield, Round Hill, &c. They are fast
springing up everywhere. In most Of them, water il
the only remedy employed. few Of them use occa-
sonally little oi the oil medicines But most Of
them never any bat water rsings,'' as the cooks
sometimes ray, finding them the safest and best.
Our readers may judge Of the growth Of some Of
these establishments, when say that they are valued
at from fifty to one hundred thousand dollars

pared for the New York Evening Post

HANNEGAN AND HIS MIssIoN-Ve have
always regarded the sending of Hannegan as Minis
ter TO Berlin of the greatest outrages of the
late Administration, and of the greatest mistakes
OF the present Administration. But the following
extract from Berlin correspondent of the Evening
Post will Increase the general disgust and deepen
the modification of our citizens at the gross conduct
of their fou-mouthed GO Minister The Post would
hardly publish so disgraceful account of one of
the leaders of Its party, unless the statements
were VIGOROUSLY true. We must apologize to
readers for defling the columns of the Mirror with
the following extract
1.-The manner of appointment of our late minis
Ter at the Court of Prussia, Mr.. Hannegan, was
sufficiently shameful but his conduct there was still
more So He came near being turned out of one no.
tel for his disgracefu conduct and would have been
turned out if he had not gone in time of his own ac
cord. His behaviour was such, that people thought
he must be insane, for which belief the first ounda-
ton laid probably by severe prostratlon of his
whole nervous system, (to speak OF 1t mldly,) IN
which he raved like mailman, saw double sights,
and thought himself pursued by enemies against
whom he had to defend himself by knife and pistol.
But not abiding to all this bis general bear
ing and behavior and Speech were so vulgar and
profane, that it excited the disgust of every who
came in contact with him. Unable to speak In the
least, either German or French, he was obliged to
take German for his servant who spoke Eng
lsh. In the company OF strangers, he would address
him in this wise : George, you God id son of a
! Dutch b; why, is there any such thing brains
/ in any of your whole id Dutch 6ogy nation -
Such and similar language was continually in his
binary speech. His conversation which he had held
with the Queen, according to his own account, was
certainly ludcrous in the extreme. He said HIMSELF
| told the Queen liked her very much, and do you
know whom you remind me of?-that is Mrs Polk,
she is also very good nice, likely woman
All this needs no comment, but speaks for itself
If this utter want of all manners and of all Of
propriety, was the only objection that could be al
legged against him, it would be sufficient to condemn
him representative of nation, and particularly
of so great nation as the American. AS long as
our government will give these high places only IL
party favorites, payment for services rendered
shall be continually exposed to the risk of being
represented in dlsgraceful manner during the
last year, by the late minister ~ Y. Mirror.

in the track of the author Of her RUM young
ed William A. n Long, who put her under the treat

that the death evidently ensued from violent means used
for an unlawful purpose. The plank which covered
the remains in the culver, proved to have been
