TREATMENT OF SCARLET FEVER.

DR. Thomas P. Hereford, of this city in
communication which appears IN the Alexan-
dria Gaeefte, thinks that too much physic
has been an error in the management Of scar
latina. He says during thirteen years prac-
tice he has found that the less active medi-
cine he used the greater was his success in
the treatment Of this disease. He diselaims
any motives of vanity or salf-interest in his
statement. His treatment is described as
follows
s'In conclusion, win say my treatment
Of scarlet fever is very simple. Open the
bowels regularly every day with some mild
uperieat medicine, such as castor oil, SIENNA,
&C., and keep the patient at rest and COM
fortably warm sponge the surface with tep-
id water two or three times day while it
is hotter than natural admit fresh air, live
on bland diet, such as cupfull of arrow
root, several times day toast water for
common drink. Gargles ll.ade of strong sage
tea honey and alumni, or borax, may be
used from the commencement if the throat is
affected"

RETRENcmMENT AND REFORM.

official salaries, remarks that ssthe last Con-
gress was composed of a majority of sretrench-
ment and reform members, pledged to re-
form abuses and to confne expenditures with

raised the compensation of certain foreign
ministers from nine to twenty thousand COL
lars increased the salaries of the severed
Secretaries from five to eight thousand dol
lars Of the Vice President from FIVE TO eight
thousand dollars-besides voting extra COM
pensation to pages and other persons employ
ed by Congress, amounting in the aggregate
to some twenty or thirty thousand dollars

stitucits, to renew their pledges in favor of

ALEXANDRIA, HAMPSHIRE AND LouDo,

A new outlet to market is about to be con-
structed BY the State of Virginia, which is
destined to be Of the highest Importance to
the valley of Georges Creek. The Legisla-
ture of Virginia have pass bill incorporate
ing the Alexandra, Loaden and Hampshire
Railroad Company. The object ofthis com
pany is to construct a road from Alexandra
to the neighborhood of Harper's Ferry, there
to connect with the Winchester and Potomac
Railroad, and to divergr from some point ON
that road to Paddytown, near the Georges
Creek coal region. For that part of the
road between Alexandria and Harper's Fer
ry the bill proyi es a t,ree-ffths appropria-
ton by the State Of Virginia. A portion of
the road, or so much of the Winchester road
as will be needed as connection, is already
constructed, leaving unprosided for only that
section OF it lying between the point of juno
ton with the Winchester road and the village
of Paddytown. Iii is not doubted that the
counties a.ong The line, aided by the coal
Companies and private individuals, will fur
nish the necessary means to complete this re-
naming link. The most unbounded enthu-
siasm has been manifested in favor of the
road by all the parties interested in its con-
struction. This viii present an outlet to
market for the coal of the Westernport dis
trict over a continuous line of Railroad to the
city of Alexandra, not more than $50 miles
in length, thus constituting the shortest and,
therefore the cheapest route from the Cum
berland coal fields to tide-water 1t should
be stated in connection with this subject,
that the contemplated road is expected to
pass from the Winchester road to the South
Branch of the Potomac, and there eonnect-
