JAMES w. GRIMES, Esq, of this city,
as we learn by private dispatch, was
nominated as the Wing candidate for
Governor by the Convention which as
sembled at Iowa City on Wednesday
last. Mr.. G. is unnecessary TO say, is
widely known throughout the State as a
gentleman of eminent abilities and OF va
ied experience in all that relates to our
domestic policy.

nne Of the 10Th SAVE:

The private letters by the Africa
speak rather cheerfully Of the state of
money matters in London. and the writ
ers appear TO feel that European war
is by no means certain. There was a
fair demand at low figures for American
securities and in case of war breaking
out the leading banker, think that there
will be very large investments in our
stocks. We hear of several large or.
ders by this steamer for American secu.

GARGET IN Cows.--Our readers will recol-
lect that DR.. E5en Wight communicated to
this paper sometime since, the result of trials
made by him in regard to the use of hydro
date of potash for the cure of garget In a
late number of the Maine Farmer we find an
account of trial of the same treatment by
Rev. d. C. Weston. The COW was SO much
diseased that he was advised to turn her over
to the butcher, as various prescriptions had
failed, But he commenced with the HYDRO
date of potash -
''When he began to give it, half the bag
was almost one solid cake. In three or four
days the bag began to soften. In seven DAYS
there was a decided improvement. In two
: weeks there was no bloody sediment in the
milk In three weeks the cake had entirely
left the hinder quarter, and in the forward
quarter was about the size of pullet's egg.
In this quarter the disease made its final
stand and showed some obstinacy. But it
was fairly cornered, and in a week or two more
evacuated the premises altogether, after hav-
ing held yillainous and undisputed sway for
more than three months. The COW, at this
present writing, Nov. Is, is in fine order and
condition. and gives eight quarts per day, of
very rich and pure milk. The quantity of
medicine used by Mr.. Weston in this case, was
two ounces and half
The following was the receipt used:
can ounce and half of the medicine, ct
440 grains to the ounce, will contain geo
grains. This will make ffty-fve doses, of IL
grains EACH Put the whole into glass bot
tie of sufficient capacity, with 90 table spoon
fuls of cold water. Shake briskly, and it will
be thoroughly dissolved in few moments
and every table spoonful will contain the re-
quisite quantity of II grains. Wet little
Indian meal or shorts with water enough to
make stiff paste, and stir in the dose. Give
2 or doses day."

NATURE CURES DIsEAsEs.-A truth worthy
TO be known to all men and all women, was
plainly declared by DIR. Campbell, physician
in chief to the Philadelphia Hospital, in a lee
ture, delivered week ago to medical stu
dents. Mature said he, s'nature cures dis

you get into practice and begin to prescribe
largely, you will begin to overlook that fact,
and to think that you yourselves and your
