An INRALLIELy Rrc,pp this oa..,

An INFALLIBLE RECIPE this season
when dysentery becomes very prevalent, we
can recommend the following means of Gu
ring the same, which are within the reach
OF every person at almost any hour:
Take one tablespoonful Of common salt and
mix Il with two tablespoonfuls Of vinegar and
pour upon 1t half pint of water either hot or
cold (only let it be taken cool) A wine glass
full of this mixture in the above proportions
taken every half hour will be found quite
efficacious in curing dysentery. If the stom-
ach be nauseated, a wine glass full taken
every hour will suffice. For a child, the
quantity should be a teaspoonful of salt and
one of vinegar in tea cup full of water.
For all diseases man is heir TO, natures
remedies are simple and sure, and there is no
evil in the world without its antidote. We
could mention numerous instances in which
the above recipe was found effective in the
cure Of dysentery.

the shreds. A broom wears the carpet sadly.
The oftener carpets are shaken, the longer

Washleather gloves should be washed in

Jamaica rum, used TO wash the hair, keeps
it clean and healthy aud promotes il growth.
Brandy dries and heats, while it strengthens

If you are troubled to get soft water for
washing, fill tub or barrel half full IF wood
ashes, and fill it with water to make I've. A
gallon Of strong lye put into great kettle If

Pearlash or potash is used, but costs something

Before the Court.


Prof Tyler was brought before the Court of
Common Pleas last Saturday on writ Of Ha-
bsds Corpus, on the ground of excessive bail,
Squire Walker having held him to bail in the
sum Of 81 600 for violation of the lottery law
Witnesses were examined and the case argued
before Judge Igleheart, Horace Plumer, Esq,
conducting the prosecution, and Messrs Blythe
and McGrew for the Defence. The excite
ment had pretty much passed away, and there
were doubtless great many persons who
yesterday felt rather ashamed of their childish
course the day before If they didn't, they
ought to have done so at all events. The
Court, after full hearing, decided that the
bail was excessive, and should be reduced to
$3.50. Although contrary to rule" there was
enthusiastic applause from those assembled at
the Crescent Hall Court House. No one who
knows anything about the matter, doubts but
that the bail ,0aS excessive, and we are glad it
has been reduced to something like reasona-
BILE amount.
