"Thoreis no longer any reason for treat

Of new States into the Union. Justice n
the people Of other territories requires that

Ruttlesnake Kites.

New Bosros, Aug. II, 1858.
MKssRs. EDITORS In the Gate City Of
this morning read the notice OF little girl
having died from the bite Of rattlesnake.--
In fact such notices are quite frequent; and
they need not be. In the alarm Of the friends
Of the bitten one, the first and only thing
done is to send for a.doctor. IL they would
get another snake to bite the patient it would
do about as well. There is plant that oan
always be found in the vicinity of the snake
that will cure tho worst bite in 80 minutes.
| state this upon actual and repeated expert
ence. have heard it named ''prairie-oorn"
or ssrattlesnake's MASTER" but believe the
proper name 10 "bear's grass" It is at this
season Of the year at it's full height, which is
about q or feet, and 10 surmounted with
rough, hard, whitish or silver colored balls
not much unlike sycamore balls, only little
smaller perhaps. The main stem is about
twice a. large Is an oat straw, and here and
there, from the root to the top, few leaves
or blades grow out that resemble corn blades,
only they are much smaller, stlh anu nettly
on the edges.
Remedy for bite, take root and top Of said
plant, wash, crush and steep or boil in sweet
milk until tea lie made, then cool and drink,
binding the grounds upon the wound, and in
thirty minutes from the first swallow oil will
be right again, except the swelling which will
take little longer time to subside. Any Of
the domestic animals or fowls can speedily
be cured in the same way Having to drench
them Of course with the tea after cooling il
80 as not to scald them. Said plant can be
found in ell unbroken prairiss, or in fence
corners where the plough has mover run; and
it 10 so plentiful that you cannot 90 amiss in
your search for it, provided you keep in the
uacultivated prairie. You're,
