relates the following: 'One day this
week. as we are informed, as the train
from Chicago to this city was rushing
along at rapid rate, in the vicinity of
Peru, ILL.,, two small white objects were
decried on the track. The whistle was
sounded, and the train stopped, just in
time to refrain from running over them.
The conductor alighted, and found them
to be babies, little twins, about week
old, placed in that situation by some in
human, guilty wretch, for the purpose
no doubt of being rid of the fruits of
shame. The gentleman, with the ac-
customed iberality OF all railroad con-
ductors, took possession of the babes,
and intends to rear them.'

course entirely different from the usual mode,
in bringing our medicines to the notice of ply
sicians. The recipes of STABLER'S ANO-
DYNE CHERRY EXPECTORANT aud
DIARRHGA CORDIAL have been made
known eO4fdentially, to upwards of five hun
dred medical men, every one of whom racom-
mend them as highly efficient remedies. The
ExpectOrant has been pronounced by them to
be an excellent remedy in all cases of coughs,
colds, Group, bronchitis, asthma, and diseases
of the Lungs and Throat generally. The
Diarrhea Cordial has also received their un-
qualified praise as remedy for diseases of the
bowels, both in children and adults; and the
many cures that these good medicines" have
effected. prove the physicians opinion well
founded. They should be kept in every fami-

The FoREIGS PoPULATroE.--By the
census of 1850, it appears that. of the
white population of the United States,
then amounting to 19,553,05 there
were born in foreign countries $780,
535 persons, viz: males, l ,939, ,434; fe-
males, 1,001.101 Those ascertsined
to have been born in the United States
amounted to 17,979,875, and 1868
were reported unknown as to their ma
tivity. 1t thus appears that the proper
ton of natives to foreigners in 1850
was nearly eight to one in the whole
United States. 1t should be observed
that since the census of 1850 was taken
the foreign population has largely in
creased by immigration, amounting to
over one million in all, so that the num-
Der of persons of foreign birth now in
the United States may be stated at
about three and half millions. The
proportion of Germans among the re-
cent immigrants has been very great.
Gallipolis journal. [volume] (Gallipolis, Ohio) 1837-1919, 1854-07-20
EE The Natchez Courier, of the stt

says;
We understand that a day or two
since, on the plantation of Mr.. John
w. Carr, in Dead Mans Bend, six ne
groes fell in the field from the effects of
sun-stroke. Two of them died, and
the others were not expected to recover.
Two negroes on the plantation of Mr..
William Adams, in this county, were also
prostrated from the same cause.
Several deaths from the same cause
have resulted upon plantations above
Vicksburg, on the river, and some also
on Deer Greek. A correspondent of
the Picayune is reminded by the numer-
GUS cases of sun-stroke, of an old pre-
ventive, and sends it for publication.
1t is as follows:
A handkerchief or a handful of cot
ton saturated with water and worn in
the crown of the hat. This is an al
most certain preventive against that
fearful calamity. The wetting should
be repeated every hour, or as often as
may be required. If a thick or close
lat is worn, holes should be cut near
the top. that the evaporating water will
carry off the heat and keep the head
cool.
