an extraordinary exhibition of skill and
temerity which took place near that city:

been decided. Mr.. Travis winning the
money upon the first shot. The affair

Ramos, on Tiger Island, parish of St.
Mary's, in this State. 1t being difficult
to procure an apple. small orange, only
about five inches in circumference, was
substituted. After the shooting distance
of thirty-SiX feet was measured, and all
parties agreed, the orange was placed by
the Judges upon the head of a gentleman,
a friend of 10th parties, Mr.. j. p. O.,
and no object intervening, the first shot
told the story, hitting the orange, half of
the bullet going through. s.
Both gentlemen displayed great nerve
upon the exciting occasion. Some of the

CURE FOR SMALL PoX, sCARLATINA
AND MEASLES.

A merchant and shi powner of Boston
has had the following recipe sent him
from England, where it was furnished
him by Mr.. Larkin, member Of the Royal
College of Surgeons, and who vouches
for it as Medicine that will effect a
revolution in healing art, as regards the
prevention and cure not only of small
pox, but also of measles and scarlatina.
however malignant the type, in a man
ner more efficient and extraordinary than
could ever have been anticipated, even
by the most ardent philanthropist.
''On the first appearance of fever OF
irritation ushering in attacks, whether
occurring in families or large communi.
ties, the subjoined mode of treatment
should at once be entered on: Take
one grain each Of powered foxglove OF
digitalis valuable in the ratio of its green
ness, the dark should be rejectedl and
one of sulphate of zine this article is
commonly known as white vitriol.
These should be rubbed thoroughly in a
mortar or other convenient vessel, with
four or five drops of water; this done. a
noggin Tor about four ounces) more. with
some syrup or sugar should be added.
Of this mixture tablespoonful should
be given to an adult, and two teaspoon
ful TO child every second hour, until
symptoms of disease vanish.
Thus conducted, convalescence, as il
bv magic, will result. The rapidity ot
an event so auspicious will equally de.
light and astonish. 1t may, however, be
necessary further to note, that should the
bowels b,ec0me obstr,lcted in the progress
of this disease, an evil by no means com.
mon, then a drahm Of the compound
powder of jala,p, formed of two parts OF
cream of tartar with one of jalap, and
one grain of the herb treated as above
formed into pastil with syrup Of sugar
should be given to an adult, and half the
quantity to a child. This simple medi-
cine shuts out every Other form or article
whatever, as totally unnec essary, if not
pernicious.
The methodus medicandi of these

while the zinc acts the part Of tonic,

MIR. Larkin adds: ssNo emigrant or

to put to sea without few pence

further ardently hoped that, as the dear

TOM MARSHALL As AN ORATOR

Judge Walker, of the New Orleans
Delta, writes as follows of Tom Marshall s
speech in the Ward trial:
The reply Of Tom Marshall did not
come up to my expectation. 1t had MANY
brilliant points, many gems of poetry,
wit, and eloquence; but it lacked vigor.
force, and matuled method. 1t was at
tilAes rambling and discursive. Mar
sballs evident fault as speaker is ego
lism. He speake too much for display.
This is a bad quality for a criminal
pleader, where effectiveness depends Oh
his earneStneSS, the extent to which he
becomes entirely absorbed in his client.
But he is at times very eloquent and po-
elcal IN language, very graphic and glow
ing. His description Of the incompati-
bility of the character and habits Of the
man OF letters and seclusion-of the GEN
tie and amiable traits Of Matt Ward with
those reckless and boisterous traits which
mark the man capable of murder, and too
often mar the character of our Young
men, was very beautiful. His allusion
to the tender devotion of Wards wife.
and to his own atfectionate and loving
character, which had led to the unfortu-
nate act for which he was now arraigned.
was equally effective. He touched the
State pride of the jury by sketching the
literary triumphs and labors of the ac-
cused, which had reflected such credit Oh
Kentucky, and, pointing to his pale.
emaciate, worn, and delicate form and
countenance, asked if any one could see
the brand of the murderer on that pale
brow, in the lineaments of that face which
reflected pure, generous, and chivalrous
soul. He pictured with great vigor the
horror of consigning such man to the
hangman. At this point of his address
Wards wife uttered loud sobs, and ever,
lady and many of the gentlemen, includ-
ing some of the jury, were in tears: but,
as throughout the trial, the prisoner main-
tanned brave self-possession and calm
ness, which, without running into bra
vado or defiance, presented the aspect of
a consciousness of innocence.

BTTUMINoUS Coal IN CHLI.-A new
and extensive mine of bituminous coal
has been lately discovered at Lota, a
commodious harbor on the south coast of
Chill, about so miles south of the river
Biobio, which enters the Pacific Ocean
in lat, SO So S. The harbor is good and
well sheltered from northers, while the
coal is said to be of the very best quality,
and is sold at only six dollars per ton.
Provisions are also said to be plentiful
and cheap, beef only six cents per pound,
&c, while the facilities for taking in coal
are great for South America, the steamer
Yankee Blade having taken in seven hum
dred tons in three days.

LIQUID GLUE.-A strong liquid glue,
that will keep for years without chang
ing, may be made by placing in a glazed
vessel quart of water and about three
pounds of hard glue. This is to be melt
ed over gentle fire in glue pot, and
stirred up occasionally. When all the
glue is melted, drop in gradually a small
quantity of nitric acid, when effervescence
will take place, The vessel is then to be
taken off the fire and allowed to cool.
Liquid glue made in this manner has been
kept for more than two years in an un-
corked bottle without change. 1t will
be useful for many trades, where strong
glue is required without the trouble Of
melting. .-SoMthern Orgnn

OCCASION" so said a clergyman whom
Mr.. Lloyd met with in Norrland, and
who vouched for the truth of the story,
when Lapp, in company with young
female, was driving the herd through the
forest, they accidentally reused large
bear from his winter quarters. The girl.
very fortunately, had the laSSo in her
hand, which, with great coolness and
skill. she threw over his head, as he was
slowly quitting his den. and at the same
instant coiled the other end Of the thong
around tree. The brute on thus find
ing himself in the tails, dashed at the
intrepid Amazon, but, as she slipped one
side, he fortunately missed his aim, and
on coming to the length of the teth,r.
was, in sailors language, brought short
up and thrown to the ground. Bruin' s
career was now at end, for seizing the
thong with his paws, and by so doing
tightening the moose, he presently msb-
aged to strangle himself. The Lapp, on
seeing the beast charge the girl, took
fright andran away; and, as consequence
the bold wench, who was to have married
him, sent him at once to the right about;
very properly refusing to have anything
more to say to SO dastardly fellow.
