gauge, and not, as it has been called, the
freesol gauge. If there is any sucl
guage, that is 4 feet 10 inches and no
4 feet 81 inches-as that is the gauge
most extensively laid down in the free
States. The Marietta and Cincinnati
road adopted the feet 81 inches guage,
because it was the Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Virginia gauge.
/ have thus endeavored to call the
attention of Virginia statesmen and bus
mess men to the important questions in
volved in the extension Of her rail roads
to the Ohio river, and TO an Ohio con-
nexion. Living in Ohio, and upon the
Ohio river, and being pretty well ac-
quainted with Ohio trade and travel,
can have no doubt of the ability of Vir-
ginia, to command large share Of this
vast trade; trade, the magnitude Of
which no man can comprehend, who is
not acquainted with the West, with
Cincinnati and its commerce. The
great export trade of the Union in agri-
cultural products, is to be fed from the
West. Here the wheat, and corn, and
pork, and beef, which are to feed Eu-
rope, are to be raised. Hence, this
trade will be one to build up seaports
towns and cities. Ohio is anxious for
a connexion with tide-water through
Virginia. She now needs more outlets
for her products. Shall she have them?
This question must be answered by the
present Legislature of Virginia.
Being an Ohio man, interested in the
accomplishment of Virginia connex-
ion with Ohio, | have taken the liberty
to say what I have said, in the hope Of
promoting the success of policy in
which l believe Virginia has even a
deeper interest than Southeastern
Ohio itself. OHIO.

Cure OF VIRULKNT SNAIL Pox, SCAa-
LEr Fever kND MEAsLEs.-The follow
ing recipe was originally furnished by
Mr.. L. Larkin, member Of the Royal
college of surgeons, who vouches for it
as medicine that will effect a revolu-
ton IN the healing art as regards the
prevention and cure not only of small
pox but also of measles and scarlet fever
however malignant the type;"
On the first appearance of fever and
irritation on ushering in attacks, whether
occurring in families or large communi-
ties, the subjoined mode Of treatment
should at one be entered on. Take one
grain each of powdered foxglove or dig.
itails valuable in the ratio of its green
ness-the dark should be reiected,)
and one of sulphat of zinc, (this article
is commonly known as white vitriol.l
These should be rubbed thoroughly in
mortar or other convenient vessel,
with four or FIVE drops of water; this
done, noggin, or about four oun-
ces more, with some syrup or sugar,
should be added. OF this mixture, a
tablespoonful should be given to an adult
and two teaspoonfuls to a child. every
second hour, until the symptoms Of dis
ease vanish.
Thus conducted, cohvalesence, as if
by magic will result. The action of
the medicine is thus explained: The
herb, by its febrile qualities, lays hold
Of the fever which it Immediately stran-
giles, while the zinc acts the part of a
tonic, instantly restoring equilibrium

to note, that should the bowels become
obstructed in the progress ofthe disease,

drachm of the compound powder ofjalap
formed by two parts cream of tartar
with one Of jalap. and one grain of the
herb treated as above, formed into

a child. This simple medicine shuts
out every other drug or form of treat

pernicious.

OUR FRIEND.
BIZ PHGBE CAREY.

- A-~@~- ~-------'
We tried to win her from her grief,
To soothe her great despair;
We showed her how the starry flowers
We're growing everywhere
The starry flowers she used to braid
AT evening in her hair.
We told her how our hearts for her
Beat mournfully and low,
How lines we're deepening day by day
Across her fathers brow,
And how her little brother dropped
He had no playmate now.
And then she spoke of weary nights
OF dull and sleepless pain, as
And how she grieved that loving friends
Should plead with her in vain; .i5s
And hoped that when the summer came
She should be well again. IN .sel
Still softly singing to herself
Sad words of plaintive rhyme,
She always watched the suns soft glow
Fade off at overtime,
AS one who nursed pleasant dream
Of some delicious cline.
Thus, sweetly IS the flowers that once
She wore at even-tide,
Faded and dropped the gentle girl,
"A blossom by our side;
And her young light of life went out
With sunset, when she died!

N"I learned one lesson when l
was little girl" says lady. "One
frosty morning l was looking out of the
window into my fathers barn yard,
where stood many cows, oxen, and
horses waiting to drink. The cattle
stood very still and meek, till one of the
cows In trying to turn round, happened
to hit her next neighbor, whereupon the
neighbor kicked and hit another. In
FIVE minutes the whole herd were kick
ing each other with fury.
My mother laughed and said, "see
now what comes of kicking when you
are hit"
Just so have / seen one cross word
set a whole family by the ears some
frosty morning. t-. 5-t -~; -e-
Afterwards, when my brothers or
myself, were little irritable, she would
say, Children, remember how the fight
in the barn yard began. Neverreturn q
kick for a hit, and you will save yourself
a great deal of trouble" ri

@The world is a mongrel-hslf
spaniel, half wolf. Lash it often, and
when you require it, whistle viii bring
it to your feet; show but the slightest
symptom of fear, and it will turn upon
and worry you, even unto the death:
''Softly, gently stroke nettle.
And it stings you for your pains;
Grasp it ike man of metal,
And it soft as silk remains.
Thus il is with human nature.
Use them kindly, they rebel;
But be rough as nutmeg crater,
And they fear and love you we'll"

@ There was specimen Of re-
markably bad shooting in this city yes.
terday, at the corner Of Main and Fifth
streets. A couple of well-knOwn oiti-
zens took a pop at each other, after
which one threw away his pistol and
ran, when the other gave chase and DIS
charged three more barrels at him.
The only thing hurt wasa brick wall,
which viii recover. This is double
disgrace to our city-disgraceful that
such a thing should occur at all, and
disoraeefuI that Kentuckians should
prove themselves such poor marksmen.
