REMARKABLE Mana correspondent OF
the Kentucky Statesman gives the following
sketch of an old citizen i'll Pulaski county
named Eliza Deny, who is perhaps the oldest
man in Kentucky. He was lis years on
the 10th of September, and is as active as
many men of forty. He works daily upon
farm. and throughout his whole life he has
been an early riser. He informed the
writer that he had never drank but one cup
of coffee, and that was i'll the year l648.
He served seven years in the war OF the
Revolution, and was wounded at the siege
of Savannah and at the battle of Eutaw
Springs; he was also present at the battles Of
Camden, Kings Mountain, and Monks
Corner. He served under Col. Horny and
Col. Marion, and was an eye witness OF the
sufferings and death Of Col. Isaac Hayne,
of South Carolina, an early victim of the
Revolution. He is sprightly and active, and
would be taken at any time to be man OF
middle age. He is a strict member OF the
Baptist church, and rides six miles to every
meeting of his church. He has four sons
and five daughters, all living; the eldest
being now in his seventy-eighth, and the
Youngest in his fifty year. Such is q
brief sketch of this aged soldier and Repub-
.ican, ,swho perhaps is the only surviving SOL
der of Francis Marion, Sumpter and Horny.
CAR1uAGE-The New York Conlmercioi
Advertiser has a letter from correspondent,
dated Bona, Algeria, Sept |, in which the
writer, who with his party had visited ancient
Carthage, says: The ruins Of Carthage are
still very percepible. There are half a
dozen reservoirs four times the size of either
of those at Stora, or Bona; there are also the
ruins of an acqueduct 45 miles in length.
Marble columns, some perfect, Others broken,
lie scattered in every direction. y large
portion of what was the city is now covered
with water, which is so clear that sometimes
at the distances of an eighth of mile from
the shore, the foundation Of buildings and
quantities of building materials can be seen
on the bottom. The guide pointed out Reg
uus's hill, and assured the Captain that it
was the identical one down which the
infurated Carthagenans rolled that noble
Roman in barrel, into which they had
driven sharp pointed spikes. have some
specimens Of Mosaic and mortar which will

TIE CRANBERRY CURE OF ERYsIPELAs.-
The New Haven Pollaaiam records another
case of the complete cure Of erysipeIas by
the simple cure of raw cranberrles pounded
fine. The patient was ayoung lady, one side
of whose face had become SO swollen and
inhamed that the eye had become closed and
the pain excessive. A poultice of cranber-
ries was applied, and, after several changes,
the pain ceased, the inflammation subsidized,
and, in the course Of a couple of days, every
vestge of the disease had disappeared.
