Mr.. EDITOR In my article to-day,
there is an error which l hasten to correct.
In the sum of SIG, 1896 81 due in
1S47, was included the irredeemable debt
then amounting to S1,519,37l 78, whilst
by on inadvertional, it is not included in
tho sum of Sl5,21s,129 49,. due January
lst, 1854.
This will reduce the amount of the prin.
opal of the State debt, actually paid from
@,274,765 81 to $2,755,394 03. The
interest on this sum of S1,519,37l IS, is
so1, ,l02 81, which added to the former
sum of sl34,581 IS, makes the sum Of
s225,744 l6 increase, to be raised by
taxation in 1854, over that of 1S47.

pdy~We have received of T. B. PETER
SON, "Kate Aylesford" story of the re-
fugees; by Charles ]. Peterson. We
have never read more thrilling tale than
this. The characters IRE well drawn ;
and it is free from the sickly sentimental
ISM So common to works of this kind
No one can help admiring the fearless and
independent character of Kate; and we
ihsoluntarily shuddercd at the brutal fero-
city of Arrison. Altogether, it is book
that all who are fond of Revolutionary in-
cidents should read.

REMEDY FOR sCALps AND nUENs.

In the AmericaR Medical Gazeiie, Doctor
Reese thus earnestly reitentes his adyicc to
apply -four to scalds and burns -
I'VE still see reported, almost daily, an ap-
paling number OF deaths by burns and scaIds
not one of which, We take upon ourselves
to say need prove fatal, or would DO so, If a
few pounds of wheat -four could be promptly
applied to the wounds made hy fire. and re-
peated until the intammatory stage had pas
sed. We have never known 4 fatal case of
Scalding or burning in which this practice
has been pursued, during more than thirty
years experience, and having treated hnn-
dredS in both public and private pgacticc.--
We have known the most extensive burns by
falling into Calyons of boiling oil, and even
molten copper, and yet the patients were yes
cued by this sinple and cheap remedy which,
from lis milllble success should supplant all
the fashionable nostums, whether oil cotton,
lead, water, ice, turpeutne or pain exlrac-
tors. every one Of which has been tried thoI.
sand times with Fatal result aud the victims
have died in eXcrui.iAting agony, when few
handlulls of -four would have calmed them to
sleep ard rescued them from pain and death.
Humanity should prompt the profession to
publish and r1pnhlsh the facts On this sub
jrct, which are established 10y the authority
of standard medical works on both sides Of
