"Of absolutely new members, the most en-

ICE PILLS IN CHOLERA roRsus.


Without pretending to the degree Of medical
knowledge necessary to judge of the appropri
ateness of the novel remedy suggested in the
following article we take pleasure in stating
that it is from the pen of DR.. Snodgrass Of
Baltimore, who first promulgated it through
the New York Tribune. The remedy certainly
seems simple enough for a fair trial:
"Guided more by my personal experience as
an annual victim of that very common though
very worrying and prostrating malady, cholera
morbus, the season for which is now upon US,
rather than any observation of it of late years,
during which have had little to do with gen.
erai practice, ! have come to the conclusion
that the remedy for it is ice. Not ice water,
or ice taken into the mouth to melt and find
its way into the stomach as water, but crushed
ioe swallowed, or Ice Pills, if you please.
"The primary seat of this disease is the
stomach. There the intense thirst and disa-
greeable bitterness characteristic of cholera
morbus originate although experienced in the
mouth; there the ice should be applied, with
the view to absorbing the excess Of caloric or
heat Iced water, by its great bulk, distresses
the stomach; while the ice itself, applied dl-
rectly to the part affected, swallowed in small
lumps, not suffered to trickle down, relieves it
almost certainly"

THE MINISTER HUNTING HIS SLAVE.

About fifteen years ago there came to In.
dianap0lis, Indiana, a colored man named John
Freeman. He brought with him some few hun
dred dollars part OF which he invested in real
estate He was painter, Whitewater, and
man OF all work. He married young woman
who was servant in our family His de-
pertinent won for him general respect and con-
fdence. He rapidly increased in property, and
is now worth about six thousand dollars, which,
for that community, is a very handsome prop
erty. No mans word was better than Free
mans. He was honest punctual, and reliable.
He became an active member Of the colored
Baptist Church, and conscientiously discharged
his duties as a church member. He has fam
lily of three children. On the 23d Of June a
man named Pleasant Ellington, formerly from
Kentucky, now of Missouri, who is, we under.
stand, Methodist preacher, appeared in In.
dianapolis, and found miscreants base enough
claim that be was his slave Freeman claims
that he is free man, and shows many papers
recognising that fact The Judge has granted
nine weeks for Freeman to procure further evil
dence Of his freedom.
There are some facts that have come 10 our
knowledge which it will be edifying TO know
When Freemans arrest was known, the
whole community was moved One hundred
men, Of all parties, and of the first standing in
the place, such Is Judge Blackiord, Judge
Wick, N, B. Palmer, CALVIN Fletcher Esq, and
many other such, signed bond for bail in the
sum of sixteen hundred dollars The amount
in gold was brought into court, to be deposited
for the preacher Ellington in case Freeman
proved slave,Hhould not appear, or for his
freedom in any event. The bail was refused.
Rev. MIR. Ellington refused to agree to take any
price should he get possession Of him, but de-
termined to take him to Missouri.
Under pretsnos that he feared rescue
the marshal wss about 10 remove Freeman to
Madison Jail, on the Ohio river, but has CON-
sented to leave him in tho jail at Indianapolis,
ON condition that Freeman pays three dollars
q day for guard 70 watch over himself
We have some good but dull men in New
York, who have denied that Christian men and
families were subject to separation and sale
under the system Of slavery. 1t is said that to
represent such scenes ~ Uncle Toms separa-
