PLURALITY OF WoRLDs.-A writer in
the Edenburg Review says that the idea of
plurality of worlds has been gradually
developed, till men have come to believa
that not only the planets, but also the
shining stars of the boundless armament
IN all their countless myriads must be seats
OF life and of sensient intelligence, capable
OF enjoying and employing it's faculties and
attributes. Modern astronomy has also
gone out far beyond the boundary of the
star armament, and there it has deserted
lying in unreasonable distance. faint def
mite clouds of filmy light which, even to
good telescopes, look, as they float in the
chasms of Darkness, like whisps of nalo
Ph0sphorescent mist. At first these wera
taken to be the vaporous comets of the re-
mote universe, and they were called "nebu-
l@'' by their discoverers. In process of
tlme, however, as the construction of the |
was rendered more perfect, if was
found that some of these light clouds were
really clouds of stars.

POISONED BY M1srAKE-Two fatal cases
of poisoning by mistake occurred in Balti-
more on the 2lst inst, A druggist filed
prescription ordered by Arnold, German
physician, for a child. The child took the
medicine and died Immediately. Arnold
took the remainder of the medicine to the
druggist and told him he had made
mistake. The druggist persisted that the
was right, and to show his
confidence in his correctness swallowed a
portion himself. He was Immediately
attacked by horrible commissions and died
IN five minutes. The Doctor, who merely
tasted the preparation and spit it from his
mouth, was also attacked and with difficulty
saved. The affair occasioned great excite
ment.
The druggist had mixed cyanuret of
potassium with lemon juice, developing
enough prussic acid in the preparation to
have killed three hundred men.

FoR THE H1CCUps.-Travelinn some
time since by railroad from Columbus to
Baltimore, [ took my seat immediately in
front OF gentleman who was suffering
under Paroxyism of hiccups, to degree
that L had never before witnessed. In few
minutes person appeared from the end of
the car, and took seat beside him. when
he said /:
'Slr, can you tell me what is good for
the hiccups? have been afflicted in the
way you see me since yesterday noon, and
have had no rest or relief from any physi
clan to whom applied for assistance, l am
worn out with suffering" To which the
person replied, 'Sir, l will cure you in less
than two minutes by the watch Have
confidence, for am sure I can do it. Hold
up high above your head two fingers of
your hand; lean back in your seat, open
your mouth and throat so as to give a free
passage to your lungs; breathe very long |
and softly, and look very steadily at your
myers" In less than the time specified
he cure was performed, one hiccup only
occurring during the trial. The patient
could not express his gratitude, while the
practitioner only extracted from him as a
ee the promise that he would extend the
knowledge he had impaired as freely as he
lad received it. assuring him that he would
lever be disappointed in the result. We
we're all struck with the fact. Since then
have often had occasion to practice upon

DUG OUT-The Danville (Va) Register
states that family, consisting of an old
man, his wife and daughter, were dug out
of snow drift around their cabin, on the
opposite side ofthe river from that place, on
Monday morning week. When the snow

effected, the old man was found sitting on

storms and landlords. When Intercepted

nor wood, and no provisions; but that was
small matter when compared with his
