BR,MA AND CocoA.-Every body in
this country, OF course. is quite familiar
with those two excellent articles of diet
Tor invaids, broma and cocoa, manuiac-
,urcd by Walter Baker & Co., Of Dor
chester, Mass. Some years since the
special consideration OF medical practi-
TONERS was callt 10 these preparations,
as appropriate food for the sick, in the
various conditions of debility and pros
traton TO which they are at times reduc-
ed leaving the digestive apparatus too
feeble TO appropriate any but the most
delicate nutrimenr. Medical gentlemen
of eulnrnce in this city were delighted
with Mr.. Bakers broma and from that
period to this, Its good character has
been sustained. Another set OF physi-
clans Lave commenced business since
that period, who may not have become
familiar with the article and We there
lore refer again TO the subject for the
purpose Of reminding both our young
.nedical friends at home and those "a
broad, that they will derive important ad-
vantages from the use of these admlra-
BILE kinds Of food. Druggists in the in
terror would find it to their account IN al
ways keeping both on hand, with a view
n meeting the prescriptions OF medical
attendants. From our own personal
experience of the value OF broma par
ticularly, we can speak decidedly in its
favor. A dietetIc course Is not unlre-
quenlly quite as necessary as strict
medication and in recovering from
low state, it Is one ci the perpleXl'les oil

truth of this matter is simply this ; this

men, lew in number, have for years
past been striving TO make trouble in

partially succeeded but last June the

Checker-backs have originated this
movement, although they are net known
or seen publicly in the matter and by
intrigue they have inveigled some we'll
disposed and honest men into this move
ment. The gentlem en- who have been
nominated on the ticket have been de-
cieved by these unprincipled men; and

QUALIFICATION OF the VICE PREsi-

gives an account of the swearing in of
from which we extract the following /:
s. For the first time in the history of
the Republic has the man chosen by
the people Tor the second post of honor
taken the oath Of office in foreign
land. William RUFUS King was, on the
4lh instant, sworn in as Vice President
OF the United States, al the CuBsbre,.

beautiful one the clear blue sky OF TIC
tropics over our heads, the emerald

The Dc tlicious sea breeze of these lati-
tudes sprinkling its coolness over al Of

" Early in the morning Consul
Rodney, deputed by Judge Sharkey to
administer the oath, lett town on horse
back for the Cumb,e, accompanied by
several American gentlemen. "A plea
SAINT ride of three miles brought us 10
the estate where Mr.. King was residing
called La Cunib,e, Che peak,) from its
situation on the eliminating point of
the hills that Immediately surround
Matanzas.
" The oath was administered by Con
sui Rodney to the Vice President, who
was ready and waiting our arrival.
The volante was brought up to the
door, and Mr.. King stepped into it, in
order to ride into Matanzas before the
sun should he too high to make it plea
SAINT. The whole cavalcade, consisting
of some twelve or fifteen American
gentlemen, Immediately mounting and
forming an escort around the carriage,
accompanied the Vice President TO

Mr.. King lett Matanzas on the same
day for The estate Of MIR. Chartrain, in
the partido of Limonar, about eighteen
miles from MatanZas. His health is
very poor, and no one accustomed 10

Six DAYS IN A GRAvE.-An account
was given short time ago Of two men
and a boy having been buried six days
and SIX nights in mari pi, at Ecrelt-
evilIe in the department OF the Seine In
ferleure, and then rescued. A nara
ton OF the affair, derived from the suf-
ierers, is now given IN a Rouen paper.
During the whole OF that time they were
without iood, without water, without
light, and almost without clothes; and
they were in such confined place that
with the exception Of the boy they could
not stand upright. Boitard, the eldest
man, declares that during the whole
time he did not sleep more than two
hours, but his two companions, and es-
pecially the youngest, slept more
They slept back to back. They felt no
hunger, and Boilard says that even il
they had had provisions they would not
have touched them but they experience
ed great thirst.
On the fourth day they found little
water thick with mari, by digging into
the bottom Of the pit. 1t was this water
robably, which preserved their strength.
At first they heard the noise OF the pick
axes and spades above them; but dur
ing the last three days their breathing
was SO loud as to prevent It from reach
ing them, and this circumstance nasu-
rally increased their agony OF mind
they also feared the miners were digs-
in a wrong direction. One OF them had
fifty chemical matches and small piece
of cand C. but, though they often tried,
they could not, for want OF air, cause the
candle TO burn.
During the latter part OF the time they
became 60 exhausted rs to be ,uncen.
