ALLEGED CURE FOR SMALL Pox.-The con-
sui of the United States at the Rio Grande
de Sui, Brazil, has transmitted to the de-
partment of State communication from DR..
r. Landell, Of Port Allegro, claiming the dis
covery of cure for the smallpox. DIR.
Landell states that the idea of using the
remedy to be mentioned first occurred to
him during terrible epidemic of this dis
ease in 1887, but that he first administered
it in 1912, since which time his success, and
that Of his son, DIR. John Landell, and other
colleagues in the treatment of smallpox,
have been most flattering. 1t is only neces-
sary for our purpose to extract that portion
of the paper which discloses the remedy and
its proper application
"Dissolve the vaccine that is contained
on pair of plates or a capillary tube, which
is about four or six drops of vaccine lymph,
in or ounces Of cold water, and give to
the patio table spoonful every two or
three hours. The favorable result of this
exhibition is, that it mitigates the symptoms,
modifies the species, and cures the small
pox. l recognize that, as vaccine applied
externally prevents the small -pox, SO, also
being taken inwardly, in the manner above
indicated, it cures quickly and efficaclously
the smallpox in all its stages. Under its
use, the fever, the delirium, the hoarseness,
diarrhGa, pneumonia, cerebral congestion,
and finally the secondary fever disappears"

MINNESOTA CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
The latest advices from st. Paul leave room
to hope that the difficulty which has hither-
to kept the constitutional convention of that
territory divided into two bodies, is in fair
way to be removed. A proposition was
made in the democratic body, but lost by
one or two votes, to appoint committee to
meet similar committee from the republi-
can body, to fix up the terms of an arrange
ment by which the two may unite. The re-
publican convention promptly adopted ST.
milar resolution and appointed its commit
tee, and there was not doubt but their action
would be met by the democrats, as the prin-
cipal objection in the democratic body to the
resolution in the first place was, that it
ought to come from the opposite side.

DEATH OF JAMES C. DoBBIS.-Thc sad fore

Secretary OF the Navy babe him farewell on
his departure from Washington for home
in March last have been realized. James c.
Dobbin is no more. The mournrul intelli-
gence viii be received with unfeigned sor-
ron wherever the American flag 1oats-for
the name of the Iilustrious deceased was
honOred through bout the Mercantile as well
as the National Marine.
During the last year Of his public service,
he was troubled much by bronchial afiec-
ton, resulting in complete loss Of his voice.
He was urged by personal friends to retire
from labor and seek relief in more genial
cline but his earnest desire that the Cabi-
net, of which lac was member, should re-
main intact until the expiration of the Ad-
ministration impelled him to remain at his
post, until, as the result proves, it was too

Tuesday last died. He was forty-three years
of age. having been born in January, 1914

MORE HAIL AND THUNDEE.-Pontiac seems
to be the special victim Of winds and storm S.
We were visited on Friday of last week by
a violent tempest, which exceeded anything
. we ever witnessed. Houses in the course OF
erection were blown down, and others rock
Ell I'D lifted from their foundation. Whole
windows .ere store in by the hail. Such
was the violence by which it was driven,
that the bark of trees was tcrn oil, houses
badly MARI and cut, vines choude'*u ana
driven into the ground, corn fields coi.Hniete-
ly riddled and grain laid PROSTATE. Troops
of horses, and herds of cattle galloped from
point to point over the prairies in search Of
shelter, pelted by masses of ice at every
bound. Flashes of lightning succeeded by
sharp and sudden bursts of thunder were
incessant. Electricity sparkled from the
over charged telegraph wires run down into
the operators Office, and passed out at the
window, doing, however, but little damage.
The storm seems to have passed over but a
narrow strip of country, taking south
easterly direction. What damage has been
done, it is hard to estimate but that suffer-
ed by crops and other property must be con-
siderable.-Lic. Co. Ne,os, 10Th.

RcpubIicanism in Ohio.

The Republican party of Ohio have JUS
held a State Convention at Columbus, a
which Salmon p Chase was nomina ted for
Governor by reclamation, Moses b. Walker
was then nominated for 1t. Governor, Milton
Subtitle for Supreme Judge, A. P. Stone for
Treasurer, and 4. P. Russell for Secretary
Of State. These candidates are said to be.
long, without exception, to the old Abolition,
negro equality stripe Of the Republican
party; which is not surprising, seeing that
Joshua T. Giddings and 3. F. Wade, two as
hot headed disunionists as We have in the
country, were the chief Spokesman and
managers at the convent ton. While the re-
publican party nominate and are controlled
by such spirits, with what face can they
deny that they are rank disunion aboli.

HORRIBLE AYFAIR.-On Thursday of last
week vicious bull, that has for some time
been troubling the neighborhood, broke into
the corn field of Mr.. Edward Temple, a far
mer in the town of Serena, in this county.
Mr.. 7. being absent, his wife sent two boys.
sons, one being about 10 and the other II
years old, to drive the animal out Hearing
shortly afterward the boys scream, she sent
her sister, a grown person, to see after them,
whose first glimpse of the boys was to see
them tossed above the top Of the corn. She
flew to their relief, and found them both on
the ground senseless, the one with his abdo-
men ripped open, and the other frightfully
bruised in the groin. The boys were carried
to the house, and medical aid procured as
soon as possible, but the one whose bowels
had been torn open, died on Saturday even
ing. The other will probably recover. Mr..
T., on coming home few hours after the
accident, went out and shot the bull. He
was large, red Durham bull, and is sup
posed to have been owned on the opposite
side of the Fox River.

LORD CLARENDoN-In the course of the
debate in the British House of Lords, on the
I'd ultimo, on the Sound-dues bill, Lord
Clarendon remarked: "The United States,
in April last, had agreed to the same assess
ment as Great Britain and the other States
would be liable to, and nothing could be
more straightforward and honorable than
the conduct of the United States govern
ment." 1t is not often that the acts of our
government or people are recognized in
England in the graceful language of gene
rous appreciation. In this instance the
compliment is the more to be priced, coming
as it does from high official source, and

A HERo-E S. B. Northrup, boy about
thirteen years old, son of P. Northrup,
Esq, Of this city, saved his uncle, John
Clifford, from drowning on Saturday last
Clifford is about % years old, and recently
has been subject to fits Of insanity, during
which he has on one or two occasions at
tempted to kill himself. One of these COM
ing on him suddenly on Saturday, he made
for the canal some forty rods distant, OBJ
served and followed only by young North
rup. He jumped from the embankment
above the lock, but the boy had chased him
up closely and sprang into the water and
caught him before he sank and swan with
him to the wall of the embankment, where
he held on till ropes were procured when
they were hauled up. Such an act of true
heroism on the part of one so young, is sell
dom recorded. Young Northrup will make
a General yet.--Joliet Signal.

From Europe.

The news from India continues excitinsS
The disafIection among the natives at the
British rule was spreading throughput the
country. The native troops had been Dis
armed as far as practicable. Delhi, where
the rebellion originally commenced, had fin
ally fallen, yielded to the British, but not
until after a severe struggle. The attroc-
ties committed upon British subjects inside
the city by the insurgents surpasses all de-
scription.
Great alarm prevailed at Calcutta, where
it is feared the Mussulman population had
formed the design Of rising and taking pos
passion of the city. The inhabitants kept
themselves armed, and the hotels and prin-
, cipal places were garrisoned by sailors be-
longing to ships in the river.
The war against China continued. The
details from that quarter state that on the
27th Of May, IS Junks were destroyed and
on the 2sth p heavily armed Junks were
captured by the English.
on the S,h of June 1000 British forces
captured a fort and took or destsoyed 1877
junks, mounting over 900 guns, with 5000
men.
Baron Rothschd was returned to Parlia-

WHEAT AND CHEss.-Benjamin Hodge,
Esq, Of this city, some months since, in a
communication to the Rural Nem Yorker,
offered one hundred dollars to the individual
who would prove that wheat turns to chess.
This reward is now claimed by farmer of
Monroe county, who says that there is now
CROWN, on his farm wheat and chess spring
ing from the same stalk.
The New York State Agricultural Society,
under whose supervision these experiments
are to be tried, have appointed j Ii. Thomas
Of Wayne county, John tombstone, of Sene-
ca, and Prof Dewey, of Rochester, as com
mittee to meet at Rochester this week, and
investigate this matter. This Committee
will doubtless carefully examine and dissect
this apparent anomaly in the vegetable king
dom, and endeavor to ascertain whether it
springs from one germ or two, whose stems
have become entwined together. This sub
ject Of the transmutation of wheat into
chess, 50 interesting to the scientific man as
well as to the farmer, is one which, although
discussed for many years, is as yet by no
means settled in the public mnd.-But.

U1tra,.m Daguerreotyped.

The Washington States, Maj. Heiss's new
| and ably edited journal draws a true and
most graphic picture Of the ultraism of the
! North and South, which seeks to sacrifice
the Union upon the altar Of its unhallowed
| fanaticism. 1t says:
1.-The health, wealth, and prosperity of
the United Republic is laughable bagatelle
in comparison to the grim phantaises that
are at once the offspring and terror of its
individual disquiet. 1t exists in fancied
region Of wrongs and conspiracies. 1t makes
the great but natural mistake of all shallow
people, who, shaking their little heads, think
they have vibrated the h,rds Of n peoples
heart. Such people mistake seliishness for
individuality, passion for patriotism, and &C.
centricity for genius. When put to use,
their talent is for turbulence, and their mis-
sion, mismanagement. They have very
weak eyes and very strong language; and
the consequence is, they are continually
growing and bowling about dangers which
do not exist, and about the sight Of other
people who see farther and make no noise.
II, by any providential intervention, the
weak sight of those people were cured, their
business would be gone; for they can only
exist by mistaking this, and abusing them
accordingly. OF such people the Northern
Abolitionists and Southern SecessiOnists are
made up. Between them there is a distinc-
ton, but DO difference Their doctrines are
equally reasonable their selfshness equal
ly unrepublican; their acrimony equally
unreenting. They are beth equally mad to
leap from the glorious arch of Union, which
is the wonder and envy of the world. into
the dim time of dsunion, whose fitful pat
terings round the abutments Of the fabric
that lifts US high into heaven above it, at
once informs US Of its distance and frothy
insignificancc."
