Cure for Deafness

NJ. s. W. Jewett, writing to the Boston
Cultivator says -
At about three years of age, daught-
er Of the Hon. Daniel Baldwin, of Mont
peliar, became very deaf in both ears
In conversation it was quite difficult to
make her hear and she continued In this
wretched state until about eighteen years
of age, when an Indian doctor chanced
to see her, who told the mother, Mrs. B.,
that the oil of onion and tobacco would
cure her if prepared as follows Divide
an onion, and from the centre take out a
piece the size of common walnut fill
this cavity with fresh quid af tobacco,
and bind the onion together in its usual
shape roast it, then trim off the outer
part until you come to that portion
slightly colored or penetrated by the
tobacco mash up the balance of the to-
bacco put it into phial. Three drops
of this oil Mrs B. informed me, she drop
ped into the ear after her daughter had re-
tired to bed, which Immediately gave her
considerable pain which lasted for some
time. Before morning however, her
hearing was so extremely delicate and
sensitive, that she suffered by the sound
and noise in common conversation This
she soon overcame, and for more than
three years past her hearing has been
entirely restored, to the great JOY of her
parents and friends Having been ac-
quainted with the family for many years,
the case is so miraculous and gratifying,
that cannot, in justice to the afflicted,
refrain from making this simple and ef-
fectual remedy for deafness known.

MOre about the MOrsnOns.

An old citizen of St Josephs, Missouri
Mr. William B. Yates writes from the Salt
Lake as follows, and any statement he may
make may be relied on:
a reached Salt Lake city too late last fall
TO come on, and was compelled to winter
there with many other emigants in the same
! fix. The treatment we received from these
internal scoundrels, is almost too bad to be
believed. They shot men down in their tracks
for nothing, and confined others with ball
and chain, and made them work in all wea-
ther and upon all days, (for they have no
Sabbaths), and fec them only on bad bread
and water; many poor fellows suffered and
! died. And what was ali this for! | will tell
you-for simply asking for the payment of
what Was due you they would say, after the
work was done, that they did not owe you
any thing; that the people of the States trea-
ted them like dogs when they were there,
and now it was their time If the man said
anything in defense, and happened to say
they were dishonest, and acted rascally to get
their labor of man for months and then re-
fuse to pay, they would haul him up before a
kind of court, and condemned him to from one
to ten years Imprisonment with ball and
chain. have seen a man shot down at the
door of their temple as he was quietly coming
out of the church. The cause assigned was
| that one of the sealed wives of the murderer
had taken fancy TO the emigrant, probably
not from any fault of his, for he wasa mar
ried man from the Eastern States. 1t is a
! positive fact that man can hove as many
sealed wives as he can support, and woman
can at any time be unsealed and sealed to
another; in that way she may have five or
six children with different fathers. When
she is sealed to another, she does not take
her children, but leaves them to their father.
You will, therefore, see that in the course of
fifteen or twenty years, there will be hun
dreds of young men and girls that will not
know their relationship towards each other,
and intermarriage with brother and sister
will be the result to an alarming extent. ]
look upon them as the lowest people on top
of the ground; the city of Salt Lake perfect
Sodom and Gomorrah, which some day if not
visited by the wrath of the Almighty, shall
wonder"

BomndIessness OF ihe Creation.

About the time of the invention of the
telescope. another instrument was formed,
which laid open scene no less wonder
full, and rewarded the inquisitive spirit
Of man. This was the microscope. The
one led me to see system in every star,
the other leads me to see world in every
atom. The one taught me that this
mighty globe, with the whole burden of
its countries, is but grain of sand on
the high field of immensity; the other
teaches me that every grain of sand may
harbor within it the tribes and families
of busy population. The one told me
OF the insignifcancy Of the world | tread
upon. The other redeems it from ali in
signiGcancy for it tells me that in the
leaves of every forest, and in the flowers
of every garden, and in the waters ofev-
cry rivulet, there are world steemlng with
life, and numberless as the glories of the
armament. The one has suggested to
me, that beyond and above all that is
visible to man, there may be fields Of
creation which chsweepimmeasurably along,
and carry the impress of tina Almightys
hand to the remotest scenes Of the uG-
iVerse the other suggests to me, that
within and beyond all that miuuteness
which the unaided eye OF man has been
able to explore, there may be region
of inVisibles and that could We draw a.
side the mysterious curtain which shrouds
it from our senses, we might see theatre
of as many wonders as astronomers have
unfolded, a universe within the compass
of a point so small as chides all the powers
of the microscope: but where the wonder
working God finds room for all his at
tributes, where he can raise another
mechanism of world aud Eli and animate
the evidence of his glory.-Ch Gln1ers.
