CURE FOR THE BITE or A MAD DoG.-A
writer in the National iHtcitigrHcsr says that
spirits of harts-horn is a certain remedy for
the lite of a mad dog. The wound, he adds,
shouh he constantly hathcd with it, and
three or four doses, diluted, taken inNurdly,
during the day. The hartshorn deconiposc>,
chemically, the virus insinuatcd into the
wound, and Immediately alters and DESTROYS
its delcterioasness. Tho writer. who resided
in Brazil for some time, first tried it for the
bite of scorpion, and found that it reno, ed
pain and Inflammation almost instantly. Sub
scquenily he tried it for the bite of rattle
snake, with similar success. At the suFges-

is no doubt about the correctness of the
statement, coming from such respectable
source as it does. But, we cannot find
language adequate to express our admira-
ton of the candor aud liberality of the
distinguished epistlsr in giving us notice
of the injury our speakers were infiict'ng
upon the Republican party. Such mag
nanimity in an opponent deserves, we
think. something more than an ordinary
acknowledgment of admiration. Words
are too feeble to express the gratitude that
wells up in the heart of every Republican
toward him; we therefore suggest that q
subscription be started at once among Re
publicans for the purchase of a-printmsr
to be presented to him, as a slight token
of the high estimation in which he is re-
gardcd on account of his great talents, wit
candor and magnanimity.
