From THE PLAINS Condition of the Nor
mons.-The st. Louis Republican has letters
from Fort Laramie of June IA, containing
the following intelligence:
The Indians are quiet, and come very little
about the road The Sioux, since the battle
of Ash Hollow, have stood in perfect dread
of Long Knife, as they call General Harney.
We have met with several parties of the
Saints returning from Salt Lake to the States
All we met gave q terrible picture of the
state Of affairs there now. The poorer
class had to subsist for months on roots
such as thistle, seco &C., which the Indians
gather and sell to them for one dollar per
bushel. The grasshoppers, which caused the
famine last year, have commenced again this
season, and bid fair to destroy the present
crop of wheat and vegetables. Many of them
appeared very much dissatisfied with the
Mormon faith, and stated that they had been
deceived. That the poor had everything
taken from them in the shape of tithes and
taxes to support few leaders in the church
Be this as it may, many Of those we met
were real objects of pity, and give evidence,
in their utter destitution, that Mormonism
affords but little food for the body, at least,
let it be as it will with the soul.
SnCKING RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-On NJ onday
evening last, as seven road hands. in the en-
ploy of the Mine Hill Railroad Company,
were coming rapidly down the road above
Minersville, on truck, they encountered on
the same track Coal train backing up
Five Of the men sprang from the truck, be-
fore il came in collision with the train, and
all were severely injured. Two of the men
however, remained by the truck. and were
killed. At the time of the collision, which
! happened while rounding = curve in the road
it is stated that the truck WAS going at the
rate Of thirty miles an hour. We have not
learned the names Of the men killed.-Min-
ers Journal
| Tom THUMB RoBBED.-A box, between two
and three feet long. containing all the Jewels
which the little General" had received as
pres, nts during the last eight or nine years,
was stolen from the Meodeon Hall, in Cincin-
nat}i, Ohio. some time on Monday evening.
They were worth about $4,000.
Holoways Pills an unfailing Remedy for
| all disorders of the Chest and LuDgs.-Oliver
| Thompson, of Little Falls, New York, was
certainly in a most deplorable state of health h
ten weeks ago his lungs, so the doctors told
him, were completely gone, his chest, and in
fact his body generally, had scarcely an atom
of flesh on it, so thin had he become. In
addition to this, he had cough which COM
! pletely shook him to pieces (these are his own
words y he has just called on Professor Iol-
oway to inform him. that all these complaints
have been removed by Holoway's Pills, after
he had used them for seven weeks and two
| days. and he now feels better than ever he
did in his life. These Pills will readily
remove all diseases of the stomach and
! bowels

MEDICAL USE OF SALT.-In many cases of
disordered stomach, teaspoonful of salt is
a cetain cure. In the violent internal aching.
termed cholic, add teaspoonful of salt to a
pint of cold water; drink it and go to bed ;
it is one of the speedest remedies known.
The same will revive person who seems
almost dead from receiving heavy fall, &c.
In an apoplectic fit, no time should be lost
in pouring down salt and water, if sufficient
senslbility remain to allow of swallowing; if
not, the head must be sponged with cold water
until the sense returns, when salt will COM
pletely restore the patient from the lethargy.
In tit, the feet should be placed in warm
water, with mustard added, and the legs
briskly rubbed, all bandages removed from
the neck, and cool apartment procured, if
possible. In many cases Of severe bleeding
at the lungs, and when other remedies failed,
DIR. Rush found that two teaspoonsful of salt
completely stayed the blood. In case Of a
bite from mad dog, wash the part with a
strong brine for an hour and then bind on
some salt with a rag. In toothache, warm
salt and water held to the part and removed
two or three times, will relieve it in most
cases. Ii the gums be affected, wash the
mouth with brine. If the teeth be covered
with tartar, wash them twice day with salt
and water In sweled neck, wash the part
with brine, and drink it, also, twice a day,
until cured.
Salt will expel worms, if used in food in q
moderate degree, and aids digestion, but salt
meat is injurious, if used much.-Er.

years, OF considerable wealth, and residing in
59th street, became impressed with mono
mania, thot his friends, on his decease, would
be too parsimonious to provide him with q
suitable coffin. About year since he there
fore purchased, for seventy-fve dollars, a
magnificent polished rosewood coffin, lined
with white satin, and trimmed with silver,
which was sent to his residence and placed
