TnfaIlibIe Cure for Too,h acha

Those of our readers who have felt
the excrutiating pains of this disease,
and like ourselves, have experienced but
little human sympathy on such occasions,
will no doubt be gratifed to be put in
possession of remedy which will in all
probability forever quiet the unmerciful
offender.
On one occasion, while laboring under
the tortures of this disease, friend en-
tered the room, and after learning the
cause of his suffering, joyously exclaim-
ed:
"Why my dear friend, can cure you
in five minutes"
"Howl howl" enquired We
Have you any alum 7"
eyes"
Bring it and some common salt"
They we're produced-my friend pull
yerized them, and mixed them in equal
quantities then wet a small piece of cot
ton, causing the mixed powders, to ad-
here, and placed it in the hollow tooth.
"There," said he, eff that does not
cure you, l will forfeit my head"
1t was as predicted On the introduc
tion of the mixed alum and salt, sensa-
( ton of coldness was experienced which
gradually subsided, and with it the tor
ment of the toothache.

From the Delaware Valley DiariSt.
Improvement Of the Delaware.

improvement OI khC De1dWarc.
Legislative action is about being asked by
Captain Young and his associates, for the i'm
provement of the navigation of the Delaware
river. 1t is we'll known to your readers that
Capt. Young has built steam boat to ply
between this place and Easton, at large ex-
penditure of money; the boat was finished
about the first Of August last, but in conse-
quence of the extreme low water of the past
summer, was unable TO ascend the falls be-
tween this place and Trenton. A tenpora-
ry rise of the water enabled the boat to rea ch
here late in the fall, and an attempt was
made to reach Easton, but in consequence of
the rapid falling Of the water was unsuccess-
ful-hsEing grounded in Howell's Falls. Of
the feasibility Of navigating the Delaware
river by steamboats, there is no doubt; but to
DO this and guarantee to the travelling COM
munity regular and certain conveyance,
will require heavy expenditure of capital
in blowing out rocks to strdighten the chan
me-, the clearing away Of bars, &C., and du-
ring the summer and fall seasons, the erec-
ton of temporary wing dams to throw the
water into the channel.
This clearing is proposed TO be done by
Capt. Young and his associates, under the
sanction of legislative authority so as to Sc
cure to themselves the right of running their
steamboat, under such restrictions as the leg
islature may deem just in the case. What
would add more to the business and prosper
ity OF our town, than the successful compile
tion of this enterprise Our railroad to
running up our long neglected river would
add more to the Business of our hourishing
towns than any other improvement can i'm
agine.
| am aware the railroad to Trenton has in
creased the travel greatly, much more than
would have been conceived by any of US; but
have this connection of steamboat commune
| cation, and who can estimate the increase O.
yer what we now have! Easton is a large
modatioDs to our cities than any other town
! of it's size in the United State. Its citizens
as well as all those in the many hourishing
towns around it, would De brought, by this
! improvement, through our town.
The improvements proposed to be made by
Capt. Young and associates, will in no way
|
interfere with the present rafting or boating
channel-but on the contrary will improve
it; but aside from this, Capt. Young asks fol
nothing unreasonable-he asks for nothing
but what the whole community along the
shores of the Delaware are willing to gran,
him for the expenditure Of his money in ben.
eftting the present navigation of the river
and securing to himself the steam navigation
This is justice, and the citizens ask that il
may be granted. have heard of no one who
is not in favor OF the grant

SorinuS Accident.

Mr. William Coolbaugh, citizen Of this
place, met with a very serious accident on
Saturday last. lie was engaged in adjusting
n band upon one of the wheels attached to
his turning lathe, when his left hand was
caught and his arm wound around the shaft
in the twinkling of an eye, dreadfully multi
ating it from the hand to the shoulder. When
Mr.. c. was drawn up by the shaft, the band
on contiguous wheel was happily detached
which threw the machinery out of gear, or
he must have been instantly killed. Ampu-
,alion was not thought necessary by the Ply
siciaus in attendance, and there are greathopes
of speedy recovery.
