SCARLET FEvER.-Sometime since

an exchange, that rubbing the body

infallible remedy for the disease
Recently the statement has again be.
gan its round in the papers, and the

1--WE have recently been called on
by number of responsible men from
the neighboring counties. who assure
US that it has been tried in numerous
instances with uniform success, while
those who depended on medicines
alone. had in most cases fallen victims
to its ravages. A gentleman yester.
day assured US that in two cases in
his vicinity patients had recovered

been given up as hopeless by the
physicians The remedy is simple

The primitive Republican. (Columbus, Miss.) 18??-1852, 1851-05-01


An exchange paper says the girls IN some
parts Of Pennsylvania are 50 hard up for
husbands, thatthe5 sometimes take up with
printers and lawyers.
A cheerful wife is a rainbow set in the sky,
when her husband mind is tossed with
storms.

a chair while he is addressing the audience,
is called cheeri,tg the speaker.

Calling on the Governor.

Governor Chittenden, of Vermont, was
fne specimen of the noble hearted, high
minded and intelligent yeomanry Of New
England, as his residence was of good old
farm With all the generosity and
of the master and mistress of the
mansion, there was not particle Of aristo-
cratic exclusiveness about them The Gov
crnor knew that man was man, provided
his character and conduct were good, and
was no subscriber to the doctrine that ofne
feathers make fine birds" Homespun or
yelvet-he cared not what the garb was, pro-
Yided the Wearer carried his heart in the right
place.
Once upon a time, some very fashionable
people from New York paid him visit, and
were much horrihed when they sat down to
dinner to find that the farm laborers had their
seats at the same board and were permitted
actually to dine with the governor, his lady
and their noble selves.
One of the fine ladies was SO terribly shock
ed at the occurrence, thai she yenturcd to
speak to Mrs. Chittenden on the subject IN
the course of the afternoon.
Pray, Mrs. c. said she, do your work.

Yes, always, was the reply.

Poor Mrs. G, who was unconscious of any
limpropriety, and took different view of so
ciety, after a moment 5 grave reflection, said
We'll, Mrs. I believe you are RICH
after all. Those poor men work hard all az
nlorning while we are sitting IN the house do

at work near the door, he pulled up, and
called out:
q say, you sir, docs Coy Chittcnden live
here?"
The man nodded.
"Very well, old fellow" said the rider
dismounting, "you hold my horse while
go into the house."
He found Mrs Chittenden and stated that
he had called to see the Governor on very
important business.
