Cure for Hydrophobia.

We take the following from the New
ork Journal of Commerce. If it shall
prove In any ease ali efectual antidote to
the horrible virus which has hitherto
baftied every'- @sssrt of man, it will be boon

lated. L isya be well for the reader

Nessss. Editors. Having Just faished
the translation of an article which | .,und
in German paper, With reference to a
remedy against hydrophobia |. beg leave
to enclose copy, to be published in your
paper, if you think well oft
Respectfully, CT.
The history of she receipt is as follows:
The family of Nix Thomas Stolp, was in
possession Of it for many years, and-ap-
Piled 1t whenever an opportunity offered,
without the least desire of making money
by it. Chemical analysis has never been
able to find what it was composed of. Of
ten as it has been applied, not a single
case is known, where it failed to prevent
the outbreak of hydrophobia 1t also
proved very efficacious likewise, in cases
where the signs of hydrophobia manifest
ed themselves unmistakably. Such conf
deuce in itwas created in the public mind
that people in the provinces were no lon
ger afraid of the dreadful disease, those
who were bitten, took the medicine with
perfect confidence as well as success. Ae-
cording to prescription, the person has on
three days in succession, to take before
breakfast as much of the powder-with
warm beer-as three common knife points
viii hold; after this, to await perspira-
ton
Particular rules as to diet are not deem
ed necessary, also the burning of the
wound is dispensed with, although physi-
clans, when they applied the RENE
dy, did not neglect to use all caution
with regard to dressing the wound.
Many testimonials from men of high
standing among the profession are produc-
ed, which induced DR. Helm, of the gov
ernment to try the receipt, Negotiations
were opened but fell to the ground, andthe
receipt remained in the family until re-
Gently, when Mr. j. communicated it to
Apothecary Freudt and Dr. Asmus, which

Roman Catholic Supremacy in America.


The Right Rev. Dr. Reze, of Detroit,
now In custddy at Rome, few years
since, writing so his master, the Pope of
Rome, says:
"We shall see the truth triumph, the
temple of idols oyerthrown, the seat of
talsehOod brought r. silence, and all the
United States Ell sd in the same faith
OF the Catholic sch wherein dwell
truth and tempera.s-, the p,ls.'
y Popish priest IN riine;sIiss told Pro
testant minister that the time would come
when Catholics would make Protestants
wade knee deep in blood in the valley of
the Mississippi. In conversation with
Catholic priest, Protestant Minister late
ly observed:
Catholicism is making rapid progress
IN this country, and will doubtless ere long
obtain the ascendaucy."
To which the priest replied
'There is not member Of our Church
but believes the same"
Bishop England, in letter to His Ho-
illness, the Pope, writes:
within thirty years the Protestant
heresy will come to an end. If we can
secure the West and South, we will take
care of New England"
This same dignitary said to his Catholic
brethren at Vienna
"All that is necessary is money and
priests to su!agGte the mock liberties of
4nerica."

REBELLION REBELLION The Dem
ocratic Reflector, an old democratic paper,
published at Hamilton, New York, won't
90 either Buchanan or the Platform. 1t
says:
"We totally repudiate the platform and
the nominee of that body; first, because
the platform is not Democratic; and Sec
ondly, because no one could have been
nominated at that convention who adher-
ed to the -honored principles of the
Democratic party"
The Pulaski Democrat, in Oswogo coun-
ty, New York, will not support the nomi-
nees, nor endorse the platform of the Gin
cinnati Convention.
And so they go: To use an expressive
phrase, Buchanan is dead cock in that

The n Y. Commercial Advertiser, of
June 26, closes its leading article in the
following terms:
eve are, and must ever remain, Wings
in principle; we shall give our support to
Mr. Fillmore, because we believe him to
be the best man for the Presidency, and
after his remarks to the Wing General
Committee on Tuesday evening, we can
give him such support without sacrificing
our self-respect as Wings. In the present
divisions and perplexities of political par
ties, We expect that many of our friends
viii differ from us in judgment as to the
best course to be pursued. 1t cannot be
otherwise But if we are to give efficient
aid to him whom we believe the best can
didate for the Presidency, we must write
with frankness and earnestness. This We
intend to do, whatever consequences fol-
lew We believe in ''free speech and
free press though not in Fremont. -
We both claim and concede the right
We cannot advocate Buchanan and Democ-
racy; we must, to the utmost of our ability,
oppose Fremont and sectionalism, and
range ourselves on the side of Fillmore,
conservatism and nationality"

An ENTHUSIASTIC COMPLIMENT-The
enthusiastic Kelmcr thus discourses upon
the fair sex:
"Woman is indeed a bright and beau
tiful creature. Where she is, there is a
paradise; where she is not there is a des-
ert- Her smile inspires love, and raises
human nature nearer to the immortal
source of its being. Her sweet and ten
der heart gives life and soul to dead and
senseless things. She is the ladder by
which we climb from earth up to Heaven
She is the practical teacher of mankind,
and the world would be void without her
She is more q celestial than terrestrial
being-charming and amiable as a girl
beautiful as another. Sheis the balsam of
a mans life-his faithful counsellor and
pillow. She can impart all the pleasures
to his cares of friendship, all the enjoy
ments of sense and reason, and all the
sweets of life"

the reader may draw his breath, and try to
guess whether Kelmer was married man
