WnITLows.-Dr. Guinire, Professor of the
Faculty Of Medicine, at Mentpeer, had lust
published letter in the Abeihe 1fedicoL, in
which he describes peculiar method of stop
ping the progress of q wbtlow. A. whitow
generally bcgins with n dull sensation of heat
10 the Affected finger, near the nail rose
colored spot marksthe seat of disease. This
point. when pressed is painful the color dis
appears, and Immediately returns after the
pressure has ceased. After the lapse of
few hours the pain becomes more permanent
the color darker, and extends over larger
space, while the skin is swollen. The pain
increases rapidly. but as yet there is no pull
sation. This, DIR. Guiner says. is the proper
time for applying the remedy. Having slight
ly wetted the intlamed surface, he passes over
the whole OF il slowly with pencil Of lunar
chastc for at least a minute, in order to make
sure that the Influence of the caustic hss
penetrated through the cuticl The nitrate
OF silver is allowed to dry on the finger
W hen the skin has become quite black, the
cure is complete. The patient feels no pain
not even an itching sensation during the
operation, and q short time afterwards the,
pain OF the whitolw disappears, The black skin
peels OIL after few days, and no trace is left
Of the disorder. If the operation be perform
ed alter the pain has become pulsatiyp, the
latter Increases after the caute-izatinn, but
the throbs cease in the course of few hours,
aud the cnre is affected with equal certainty.
DR.. Guinier is not sure that his remedy would
produce its effect after the commencement Of
suppuration nt all events, the cure requires
more time. lie asscrbes the successful re-
suit obtained from nitrate OF silver not to its
having destroyed the diseased part, (the in
Hammation is too deeply seated, and the eau.
terization too superficial for that,) but to
revu!sion or shock given to the part, dstur-
bing its vicious state.

HORRIBLE CASE OF llyDRoHoBIA.-The COM
munity were somewhat startled few days
ago, by report that a young man residing IN
Cedar alley-runnDg between 9Th and 9th,
and Washington and Walnut streets-was
suffering with an attack of hydrohobia. Upon
Inquiry we found the rumor too true. A
person by the name of David X indt, nged
about 22 years, son of Jacob Kindt carpen-
ter was bitten about four or five weeks since
by cat with which he was playing. The ami
NAL was on his lap and being annoyed by some
one teasing it, suddenly jumped at the chin
OF My klndt, and bitit so severely as to cause
The blood to flow quite freely. The wound
healed and the cat remained as well as usual
eviDcing no signs Of madness-noi has she,
indeed since that timc--and no further thought
was taken Of the matter.
On Friday, MIR. Kindt complained of feel
ing i'll, and suffered with great pain in his side
and breast, and in the evening DR.. Hoffman
was called in. From that period until last
night he continued to grow worse, going con-
stantly from one spusm into another, and
being thrown from one side of the room to
the other at the mere sight OF water.
On Monday night about 9 o'clock, he died
bis suGerings have at last completely pros
trated him.
This curious result OF a wound inflicted by
an animal that has never shown signs of mad
ness, will be IA subject Of interest and investi-
eating to the medical fraternity, and we trust
DR.. Hoffman, the attending physician will
give to the public full account of the case.

LAGER BEER PUT IN noG's IiEADs.-At a
trial before the Circuit Court in Brooklyn,
n. Y, recently for selling Intoxicating, H.
quors on Sunday, some witnesses swore
that lager was intoxicating, while for the de.
fence witnesses were equally positive that it
was not One witness swore that he drank
on a wager, in the city of Brooklyn, seven
and a half gallons Of lager beer in ttco hours !!
Another one hundred dad Sirty quarts in one
day! Another thirty pintS within ive min.
utes. Another took fifteen glasses to give
him an appetite for breakfast.
A SINGULAR LAKE.-There is covering
of nineteen hundred acres in Wright county,
Iowa, about one hundred and fifty miles vets
Of Dubuque, which is surrounded by regular
stone wall, five feet wide at the top, aud in
some places, where the water would be likely
to overflow the prairie ten feet high. AS
the pioneers found tho wall there. the ques-
ton arises, Who built itf' Another re-
markable fact is that the lake has no visible
feeder or outlet.
A NoYpEsoa Major Ammon, residing
about IL miles from Harrisburg, Pa, on
Friday last. shot an animal, l8 inches in
height. 3 feet inches in length, and weighing

Coffee Making and Coffee Drinking.

Coffee onght TO be roased and and ground
daily in every family where it is nsed for the
purchase of it in gronnd state not only facil-
ltates adulterations to a great extent bnt
causes loss Of the best part oft, the volatile
oils, which have evaporated long before il is
bought. In almost every European family,
the roasting OF coffee is performed in little
drums and great care is exercised to produce
the right color. If too little roasted it is
light brown las it is sold here y the yoa!tils
oils are not entirely formed. If too mnch
roasted, the oils are volatizcd dnrinc the
process. The roasted berries gre then kept
In glass bottles, closely corGed until the mo-
ment when a beverage is desired a proper
Quantity is then ground and infused for use.
The best apparatus for extrcating the
whole steength of the coffee consists in q pc
cnarly.forned kettle having perforated
plate on its top; the coffee is placed on this
plate, boiling water is poured upon itand the
essence Of the berry is thus obtained by hy-
draulc pressure. In some large European
coffee. houses, number of small fltering kct-
ties are used in preference to one large one,
in order to supply fresh infusious of coffee
at all times throughout the day: the favor
OF fresh coffee being much superior to that
which has been long kept in the kettle.
Water OF coarse affects the taste of coffee.
Pure rain water is the best for the purpose
OF fcof1te-making; bnt the Croton or other
similar water, does not so greatly deteriorato
the flavor of coffee as do the improper de-
grees Of roasting or the time and manner
of grinding and cooking this healthy and in
viSorating beverage.

SANCTIONED BY THE ArosrLEs.-At a late
trial for cruelty to a slave girl, in st. Louis,
Mr.. and Mrs. Peters were fIed $1,000.
This is the WY they treated the girl. The
sound Of blows were found to proceed from
the basement o! Peters house, next door to
the church The witness named went to the
fence and looked through the cracks, and
there saw Mrs. Peters, large and powerful
woman, with rawhide in her hand, flashing a
naked girl, whose hands were tied behind her,
and who was lying upon the ground. Mrs.
Peters foot was on the girls neck, and she
was laying on the lashes with all her force
She then grew tired, called on her husbands
brother, John Peters, and by hor direction,
be whipped the girl in the same manner for
nearly two hours. The witnesses stated that
the stripes on her back could not be counted,
they were so many, and that her back and
shoulders were like mass Of raw flesh
the blood was streaming iromher She utter
ed no sound but low moan, and they sup
posed, from this circumstance, tina. she was
gagged.

How TO FATT n LAMBS FOR MApEET--A
correspondent Of the MGiae Farmer. says
that Mr., Elisha Super, Of Or!and, has ior
years fed grain to h sheep, for the purpose
of forwarding lambs, but received hut little
benefit theretrom lie at last thought there
might be better way, so he tried the eXpe-
riment ofieeding his lambs with oats, in a
trough made by mailing two boards toseather,
covering the ends, aud raising il about six
inches from the floor. lie put in the cats
and leaves them until the lambs learn to eat
which, he says, they will do when about three
weeks old lie leaves a passage for his
lambs so small that his sheep cannot trouble
them, both in bis barn and in yard made
for the purpose, after going to pasture, and
continues TO feed until he sells, which is IN
June. lie has lambs ten weeks old that will
dress fifteen pounds per quarter.

Ghoul in black, nor fool in gold
Laid him in yon hallowed mould.
Guarded to soldiers grave

He hath gained nobler tomb
Than in old Cathedral gloom,
Noblcr mourners paid the rite,
Than the crowd that Graves a sight,
England's banners DER him waved
Dead, he keeps the realm he saved.

Garlands of hera!d's verse; H

Sounding loud deathless name:
Tell us of no vauDtful Glory
Shouting forth ner naughty story.

To far other shrine than those.

Lit the battle field for him. ..

ANCESTRY.
BY EMILY HERMANN.

by EMILY HERMANN.
1t pains us not, the plying smile
Of Europe's titled son,
Who boasts of his proud ancestral Pile
by fire and carnage won.
The sturdy Swiizer's glacier hills,
Britannia, vine-clad Gaul--
The Anglian's home Try Sleswiy's rills,
Our fathers knew them all.
And where the eagles build their nests,
Strong in the cyrie wild,
Is found the sire, in dreamless rest,
Of some Columbian child.
And mid the smiling German hills,
Where rivers swift ore flowing,
Full many laden orchard tree
Above their graves is growing.
But not for this our pleasant land
Her lofty place may claim,
1t is that truth here speads her hand,
And Freedom writes her name!

LINE FOR PorAToEs.-A correspondent,
Smith Groom, Of Troy. n. Y, informs us,
that his experience in the culture of potatoes
has convinced him that about handful of
dry Stacked lime placed in each hill tends to
prevent the potato rot. The lime, he states,
brings the potatoes earlier 10 maturity, and
imparts to them vigor which resists the a!-
tacks of the disease. An experiment with
lime can be conducted by any of our farmers
at small expense, and if it does not prevent
the potato rot. the lime will certainly enrich
the soil for other crops.-Scieniifc american,

MORE TROUBLE WITH GREAT BRITAIN.-lt
was supposed that Great Britain had abandoned
all prctence to the right to board and search Amer
lean vessels, but recent news shows that she still
persists in such outrages, and doubt will con-
tnuc to do so until some American naval officer is
found with courage enough to fire into every Brit
ish ship of war that boards and searches an Amer
lean steamer or ship.
The steamer Washington, with passengers from
New York for California arrived at San Juan,
Nicaragua, on the 10th inst. The NicaraGuan au-
thorities refused to allow them to land, and the
officers of the British men-of-war Valorous and
Leonard boarded the steamer under the pretext
that she might be freighted with illibusters, and
Questioned the commander as to whether he had
arms and ammunition. They were told that the
steamer had just been visited by officers OF the u
S. ship Savannah and they might go to them to get
information The British officers replied that they
were instructed to get Direct but it appears they
did not proceed further. A good deal of blame is
Justly attached to the American commander tor sui
! fering such conduct without their interference.
The affair has created considerable excitement,
and the authorities at Washington have 1t under
consideration.
| large number of the passengers were COM
pelled by these circumstances to return to DIRK,
some in destitute condition. One poor woman
with children, who was going to California to meet
her husband, said if she did not then go on she
would never be able to see him, and to be carried
hack to New York in the dead of winter, without
money was worse than death.
| WASHINGTON, Dec. l5.-The President sent to Con-
rress message covering the official report OF the re-
cent boarding of the steamship Washington atSan
It is understood the President in the communication
does not make any recommendation as to the course 10
he pursued but merely introduces the subject 10 the
notice of Congress in official manner The repor
| contains the correspondence of Com Mcintosh, VINO
SAYS in effect that when the British ofhcers ooardeo
the Washington Mcintosh called Aldham for expia
nations The latter dsclaimed any intention to search
the steamer but boarded her to get the news ana sex
the ENGLISH officer who was known to he aboard as
MESSENGER: that his visit departure from tht
