DR.. HOoFLAND's GERMAN BIrrERs.-This
celebrated Medicine is one of the very best
in the country, and its good qualities only
need to be-known, to give it precedence over
all others now in use. We have seen its
good effects lately, after the tota failure of
many others. This is saying more than we
can for any other medicine that is within our
knowledge, and we feel it duty to recon-
mend the Bitters to the notice of our friends

The CHoLERA AT PRIKcEroH, Ky.
We have been permitted to make the
following extracts from a letter writ
ten by q gentleman at Princeton to his
brother in this city. II gives fearful
account of the ravages of the cholera at
that place:-L0a. C0HT.
PRINCETON, KY, June 10, 1851.
We have squally times here at pres
ent. The cholera abated for few daI s,
but within the last forty-eight hours
there have been ten new cases. All
that could get away have left the place,
and there are but four or Eve families
in town, and not enough to take care Of
the sick. One OF our physicians and
his wife died the day, before yesterday,
(Dr. Miller,) and The three physicians
left are broke down; and such is the
panic, that we can get no one from the
country to nurse or render any assis-
tance. Another doctor has been taken
down, (Dr. Carr and if any more are
taken sick, there is not the means of
rendering them assistance. The stores
are closed, and the town is a picture of
desolalion.
We have had twenty deaths in the
small number left in the village, and as
there are three new cases this morning,
| am afraid that none of US will escape
the visitation. Yours. &C.. 81.

In the work called allie in Mexi.
co, Recently publised, the fair author
gives the following account:
ave have just been hearing a Gu
rious circumstance connected with
poisonous reptiles, which | have
heard for the first time. Here, and
all along the coast, the people are in
the habit Of inocaIating themselves
with the poison of the rattlesnake,
which renders them safe from the
bite of all venomous animals. The
person TO be inoculated is pricked
with the tooth OF a serpent on the
tongue, in both arms, and on various
parts Of the body, and the venom
introduced into the wound. An
eruption comes out, which lasts a
few days. Ever after, these persons
can handle the most venomous
snakes with impunity, can make
them come by calling them; have
great pleasure in fondling them, and
the bite Of these persons is poisonousl
You will not believe this, bu! we have
The testimony Of seven or eight re-
spectacle merchants 10 the fact. A
gentleman who breakfasted here this
morning, says that he has been vain
ly endeavoring TO make up his mind
TO submit to the operation, as he is
very much exposed where he lives
and is obliged to travel great deal
on the coast; and when he goes on
these expeditions, he is always ac-
companied by his servant, an inocu-
lated negro, who has the power OF
curing him, should he be bitten, by
sucking the poison from the wound.
He also saw this negro cure the bite
given by an inoculated Indian boy to
a white boy, with whom he was
ighting,and who was the stronger Of
the two. The story OF the eastern
jugglers, and their power over these
reptiles, may, perhaps, be accounted
for in this way. | cannot say that /
should like to have so much snaky na-
ture transferred into my composition,
nor TO live among people whose tite
is Venomous."
