DR.. HAYES ON FRosT.EITE.-At the recent
meeting of the Ohio Medical Society at Sandus.
ky, DR.. Hayes, Surgeon of the Arctic Expedi
ton, gave an interesting account of the Esqui-
maux treatment for frost-bte
"An Esquimaux had his leg frozen above the
knee, stltf coorless, and to all appearance lite
less. He was placed in a snow house at a tenn
perature of 30 deg. below zero. The parts were
bathed with ice cold water for about two hours,
then enveloped in furs for three or four hours.
Then frictons were used, first with the feath-
cry side OF a bird skin, then with snow, alter.
nately wrapping the limb in furs, and rubbing
1t Tor nearly twenty-tour hours 1t was then
carefully wrapped up and the temperature of
the snow house elevated, by lamps, above zero.
On the third day the patient was taken to his
house (where they have often temperature of
10 or so deg) and in seventy hours he was
walking about with only light frost.bite on
one of his toes"
This treatment the Doctor thought highly
philosophical, and prodted greatly by it in his
practice with frost-btten limbs. The point be.
ing to keep away all extreme heat, and allow
the vital powers of the system to do their work.
BY exposing a frozen part to warm tempera-
ture, the skin becomes thawed out and dies be-
fore the circulation can work itself through the
underlying frozen tissue. r.H .--.

DANGEROUS CoUSTERFEIT-A well executed
counterfeit ON the Hatter's Bank of Connecticut,
has been put in circulation in tdis city, and in
other places in Iowa. 1t is an imitation of the
genuine bill, is well calculated to deceive even
practced eye, and is altogether dangerous
counterfeit. The one we have seen is dated
January 6, 1857, No. 1917; figure of woman
on the left harsh and imperfect; J. H. Seely,
President Mr.. F. Judd, Cashier
1t is probable that a very large amount of
these bills has been distributed through Lee
and Van Barren counties. A man named John
N. Galloup, who has spent some time in and
around Athens, on the Des Moines, was arrested
at the opposite town of Crotton, for dealing in
or passing the spurious stuff, but was discharged
by means of come sort of trickery based
on technicalities of the law. People should be
on their guard respecting the "Hatter,s Bank.

There is common pedestrian of London

With their notabiiities- lie ia shore,g stout,
sturdy, energetic man. lie has big, round
face, and large, staring andvery bfighs eyes
His hair Is cut shart, and his hat flung back on
the erown OF his head lis gait is Arm and de-
cded with little touch OF pomposity.
He is ever provided w!tilan umbrella; which
he swings and fourishes and batters on the paEe-
ment with mighty humps He seems generally
absorbed in exciting and inpuisive thoughts, the
traces of which he takes no pains to conceal
His face works, his lips move and matser, and
his eyes gieam and fash. Squat as is his figure,
and not particularly fne the features, there is
an uumistakable air of mental power and ener-
gy, approaching to grandeur, about the man.
He is evidently under the influence Of the strong
excitement of fiery thought. People gaze Gu
riously at him, and stop to stare when he has
passed. But be heeds no one; seems, indeed,
to have utterly forgotten that he is not alone IN
his privacy and pushes on, inviting of the ma
nv who stare and smile, and look with curiosity
and regard upon Thomas Darlington Macaulay.
Occasionally, however, the historian and the
poet gives still ireer vent to the mental impulses
which appear to be continually working within
him A friend of niue lately recognized him
dining in the coffee-room of the Trafalgar Hotel,
at Greenwich-a fashionable white bait house,
which, it appears, he frequently patronizes.-
He was alone, as he generally is, and the atten-
ton of more than one of the company was at
tracted by his peculiar muttering and fdgety-
ness, and by the mute gestures with which he
ever and anon illustrated his mental dreaming
All at once-it must have been toward the cli-
max of the verse or prose which he was working
up IN his mind, Mr.. Macauley seized a massive
decanter, held tia moment suspended in the air,
and then dashed it down upon the table with
such hearty good will that tine crystal flew abor
in fragments while the numerous party dining
round instinctively started up at the curious
iconocast. Not a whit put out, however, Mr..
Ma ,auay, who was well known to the walters,
called loudly for his bill to be made out at the
bar and then pulling, with couple of jerks, his
hat and his umbrella from the stand, clapped
the one carclessly on his head. and strobe out,

The newspapers are filed with accounts of
terrible storms which have visited the country
in every direction and been marked by con-
siderable destruction of property and life. At
Oswego and Utica, New York, at various points
in Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota we have
accounts of terrible storms, water falling in
large quantities, and much damage being done
by wind At least half dozen lives have been
lost. AT Pana, ILL.,, which was Incorrectly print
ed in our Geographic dispatches, Peru, there
Of it occurred on Saturday. The following
account OF it is taken from the Alton Courier:
Our place was yesterday visited by one of the
most dreadful storms ever witnessed Men were
blown about like feathers, houses were torn
down, freight cars were blown from the track.
A child OF E. s. Miller was killed. his wife had
her arm b. oxen, and is otherwise bruised and
mang led, but she is still alive. About forty
houses were blown 10 pieces. Some buildings
were blown five to ten feet from their founda
tons. There is not 4 building i'll the town but
what is injured more or less. The upper part
of the freight house belonging to the Ill., Cen.
trail Railroad Company is blown oil. The plat
forms at the crossings were raised from their
places, and blown several feet across the rail.
road. The roof was blown from the new Pres
byterian Church. The fine new storehouse of
VIA. r. Patton Brother was blown to pieces.
Their loss in goods and buildings will be from
$4,000 TO Sl2, 900. They are the greatest sui
ferers. J. ". Patton, a member of the firm. and
two of his brothers were in the building. His
brothers escaped with but little injury. He,
himself, however, was considerably cut and
bruised. They are now energetieally at work
saving what they can from the ruins, and pre-
pairing to rebuild their storehouse immedi.
ately. .-.
Major W. B. Little had the front of his store
blown in; he is damaged about $500. E. p
Sanders had the roof blown from his store house
and his goods saturated with water. He sus-
tains damage of over $4,000. l. H. Dawdy
had the front of his store house blown in; he
has, however, sustained very little damase-not
more than $500. A. G. d G. n. Neal were dam.
aged about $500. Rice i Keller about $3.50.
and Higgins L Edwards about $4,000.
Frank EDWARDS, member of the firm of Hug
gins X Edwards, deserves the highest praise for
his heroic and humane conduct. When nothing
but danger and desolatiee was apparent on
every hand, he rushed into the storm and saved
many women and children from the crashing
and falling buildings.
Many families have lost all they had, and are
left without roof to cover their heads.
l have just learned that two women that were
hurt cannot recover. s
