Cure FOR HYDRopHoBIA.-Dr. Charles
Kidd, of Kingsland, England, announces that
chloroform is perfect cure for hydrophobia.
The opiate is to be sprinkled on a handker-
chief and placed on the persons face to smell,
and a red hot poker is then, within half an
hour, to be applied to the bite. If these two
things be done---if in other words, the bite
is freely cauterized-if the poisonous matter
be destroyed, there will be no reason to APP
prehend hydrophobia.

PRAIsEwoRTHY.-The Lowell News SAYS
that there are now in that city two young
ladies who were born in New Orleans in OPP
ulence, but in consequence of death and re-
verses of fortune were left not only orphans
but penniless. Rather than to remain in in
digenoe at home, they made their way to
Lowell and entered the mills as operatives,
and are now numbered among the many
beautiful, exemplary and intelligent ladies of
the city who labor in the mills.

THE WHEAT FLY.-We understand from
farmers in this vicinity, that the fly is making
its appearance very numerously in the fields
from which the present crop has beeen gath
cred. On this account, fears are entertained
for the next wheat crop.
An intelligent and reliable farmer of Oak
land county, who has universally raised good
crops of wheat, and free from the ravages of
the fly, practices on the following plan, pre-
paratory to sowing:
lst. Refrains from sowing until there has
been two severe frosts
3D. Spreads his seed wheat upon the barn
floor, it having been previously moistened,
and mixes it thoroughly with quick
Since this system has been practiced by him,
he has not been bothered with the fly, and
has insured good crops, while those who took
not these precautions, have suffered ruinously
in the destruction of their crops from the fly.
