Hon. STEPHEN c. PHILLIPs-The follow
ing is the more complimentary, coming from the
Newburyport Union, Democratic paper:
The Salem Freeman says, that ''lf the Normal
School is secured to Salem, it will be owing TO
the exertons of Hon S. c. Phillips, member of
the present Board Of Education We had for
gotten that Mr. Phillips was now connected with
the Board; and though he has done more for ed =
ucalion in Salem than all her other public men,
we were not aware that he was interested in this
matter The place that can boast of such man
as Stephen c. Phillips, is deserving Of Normal
School, or anything else they may in reason ask,
We don't know a man in the county, who has
used his influence and property for the benefit of
the public in general and the place where he lives
in particular, more than he.

FASHIONS FOR JUNE.--Bonnets without
fronts, we are used to; but the last Partisan nov
city is bonnet without crown "These bon
nets" says Paris letter, shave three great quail
ites-lght as a feather, transparent as gauze, and
hanging on the head like Neapotan plateau
This bonnet is an assemblage of flowers, ribbons,
and lace; a point of lafetas, richly embroidered,
serves as support to deep black lace, EN-
broidered in large dots with straw. which shades
the knot of plated hair which falls on the nape
of the neck. We have said 'bonnets without
crowns;' are we sure they have any front? We
can scarcely say; ifthe narrow black lace which
edges it, and playfnlly falls on the forehead and
gracefully encircles The face is the only-we GER
tainy dare not give this couture the name of bon
net On each side, branches of flowers, as we'll
as the broad strings, complete the harmony. The
designs are embroidered to match the plateau
This bonnet requires particular attention in the
dressing of the hair. The summit of the head
must be left free, andthe hair arranged quite low
These bonnets are destined to create sensation
in the fashionable world; but only the very pref
ty and the very young dare to adopt this novelty"

CURE FOR VIRULLNT SMALL Pox, OR
ScARLATINA AND MEAsLEs-A merchant
and ship owner of this city has had the following
recipe sent him from England, where ii was fur
nlshed by Mr. l.. Larkn, member Of the Royal
College Of Surgeons and who vouches for il as
''a medicine that will effect a revolution in the
healing art, as regards the prevention and cure,
not only Of small pox, but also Of measles and
scarlatina, however malignant the type, in man
ner more efficient and extraordinary than could
ever have been hitherto anticipated even by the
most ardent philanthiopist:''
"On the first appearance Of fever or irritation
usherlng in attacks, whether occurring in families
or large communities, the subjoined mode ofreat-
ment should at once be entered on:-Take one
grain each OF powdered foxgloVe or digitalis, wal.

other convenient vessel, with four or five drops Of
water; this done, noggin Cor about four ounces)
more, with some syrup or sugar, should be add
ed. vi this mixture, tablespoonful should be
given an adult, and two tea-spoonGuls to a child,
every second hour, until symptoms of disease
vanish
Thus conducted, convalescence, as if by magic,
will result. The rapidly of an event so auspi-
cous, will equally delight and aslonish 1t may,
however, be necessary further 10 ote that should

of two parts Of cream of tartar with one of iaap)

formed into pastiI with syrup or sugar, should
be given to adult, and half the quantity to

er form or article whatever, as totally unnecessa-
ry, if not pernicious
The methodus medendi of these medicines, ca

The herb, by its anti-ebrile properties, lays hold
at once of the fever, the prolific source of woe,
