from the Chicago Press, is not inapplcable
to our own city
II is the custom in towns Of ordinary

To ScALLop OYsrERs.-For one hun.
dred oysters take four eggs, boiled hard
and chopped very fine; mix them with a
sixpenny loaf crumbled or grated, and add
pepper and salt to taste. Put some of the
mixture in the bottom Of a pie-dish, and
lay on it lightly layer of oysters, pre-
viously rinsed and drained and few bit.
Of butter. Then cover the oysters with
a layer of bread crums and eggs; another
layer Of oysters, and so on; covering the
ton with bread crums. Bake it three.
quarters Of an hour.
To Make Oyster Eritters-Make bat
ter with milk, flour, and eggs beaten light
have some lard quite hot; dip out table
spoonful of the batter, put an oyster into
it, and let it down into the boiling lard
carefully, and fry it on both sides. This
is better plan than mixing the oysters
and batter together.

fast and heavy, an individual rushed in
whose appearance betokened that he had
jus, forded Bayou Julia or Lake Poydras
and shouted: "This city is under uater,
man :" (Waterman.) BY the exercise o.
great agility he lodged the paper weights
instand and scissors, which were success
sively hurled at him, and made his es'

last seen he was propeling" through

ACTION OF SUGAR ON TErru.-Th
Charleston, S. c., Medical J~ml
states that Nj. Larez, in the course Of II,
investigations on the teeth, arrived Il d.
following conclusions
lst. Refined sugar, from either c,,.
or beets, is injurious to healthy teeth either
by immediate contact with these orpsus
or by the gas developed, owing to il
stoppage in the stomach.
I'd. If a tooth is macerated in q sstu,.
ated solution Of sugar, it is so much altered
in the chemical composition that it BE-.
comes gleatinous, and its enamel opaque,
spongy and easily broken.
Sd. This modifi alton is due, not 10 ii,.
acid, but to tendency Of sugar to conbin.
with the calcarous basis OF the too,h.
The foregoing conclusions are correct,
and candies and condiments should be
avoided. They should be kept from chl.
dren especially. 1t is well known that
maple sugar renders the teeth tender ,ud
sensitive.

SCIENTIFIC NAv1GArIoN.-A glance at
a g.book received by the National
Intelligencer, from the Captain Of a me1.
chant vessel bound from New York to the
East Indies, goes far to show the great
value Of Lieut.. Maury's +" Sailing Direct.
ions" to the navigation interest. Accor.
ding to accurate measurment, the distance
between the two points respectively Of
departure and arrival, in the great Atlantic
Ocean, which all vessels going hence to
India seek to make is 1896 miles. The
vessel above retired TO, by a close obser.
walton Of Lieut.. Maury directions,
actually made said distance sailing $500
miles, thus losing only about one mile
in thousand. Could anything better
than this be expected from the best built
and commanded steamship adoat?

SKILLFUL SURGICAL OPERArIoN.-A

The patient was girl twelve years Of
age. About six months since. tumor
made its appearance on the hard palate,
and continued to increase in size till it
nearly filled the whole mouth, causing at
times suffocations. The little sufferer
was put under the influence Of ether, and
without her being sensible Of any pain,
nearly the whole Of the superio-maxillary
bone, together with the diseased mass,
