CURE FOR CANcERs.-Our attention has
been recently called to a cure for can
GERS, which is Of SO much Importance,
| that we wish to make it known as wide
~ as possible. Some eight months ago,
Mr.. T. B. Mason-who keeps a music
store on Wisconsin street, and is a
brother ofthe we'll known Lowell Mason
-ascertained that he had a cancer on
his face of the size of a pea. 1t was cut
out by DR.. Woleott and the wound par
TALLY healed. subsequently it grew
again, and while in Cincinnati on bus
mess it attained the size of a hickory
nut, He has remained there since
Christmas under treatment, and has
come back perfectly cured. The process
is this :f.- a,sm rt~a a@rs-r &.
A piece of sticking plaster was put
over the cancer, with a circular piece
cut out of the centre q little larger than
the cancer, SO that the cancer and a
small circular rim of healthy skin next
to it were exposed. Then a plaster
made of chloride of zinc, blood root and
wheat flour was spread on a piece of
muslin of the size of this circular open
ing, and applied to the cancer for twenty
four heurs... On removing it heacancer
will be burnt into, and appear OF the
color and hardness of an old shoe
sole. and the circular rim outside OF 1t
will appear white and parboiled, as scald-
ed by hot steam. The wound is now
dressed and the outside s%uppurates and
the cancer comes out q hard lump and
the place heals Up. 10 asss I
The plaster kills the, ANGER 80 that
it slaughs out like dead flesh, and neuer
groos again. This remedy was discov-
cred by DR.. Fell, Of London, and has
been used by him for six OF eight years,
with unfailings success, and not a case
has been known Of the reappearance Of
the cancer, where this remedy has been
applied. It has the sanction of the
most eminent physicians and surgeons
Of London. but has not, till recently,
been used in this country, and many Of
the faculty, with their p~roverbial oppo-
sition to innovations, look upon it with
d~istrust. We saw Mr.. Mason at church,
and have since conyersed with him and
took particular notice of the cicatrized
wound, and we can only say, that if the
cure is. permanent-and from the evil
dence of six or eight years experience in
other cases, we have no doubt of it the
ought to be universally known.
have referred to this case, because
Mr.. Mason, is. well known both here and
at the East. The experiment excited
much interest 10 Cincinnati, and we call
attention of the faculty in this State, to
the remedy. fit is what is claimed
for it, this terrible disease will be shorn
of most Of its terrors. The application
is painful, but the pain is Of compare
brief duration, which any so Attic
ted would cheerfully endure.-lMilwau-
kee Free Democrat.

Prices Of Food for Fifteen Years.

The following table of the prices of the
leading articles of Agricultural products
for the last fifteen years, made up by the
Cincinnati Price Current, is interesting,
as not only showing the fluctuations OF
prices, but it refutes the notion that had
become so very prevalent year ago,
that the value Of food had been advanced
by the influx of money, to q point from
whichprices could never be brought down
to former low rates. The experience, oil
the present year shows that the relations
of supply and demand, have as great a
power now-no twithstanding the influx
of gold--as they did when money was
less abundant EJ0Is Il j

0SrAt the late Democratic Conyen-
ton, in Sullivan county, after the Lee
comptonites had conciliated, as they
thought, the Douglas men, by voting to
support Secrest for Congress, they INTRO
duced resolution pledging the united
vote of the Democracy of Sullivan coun-
ty, to the State ticket nominated on the
Sth ofJanuary. This was at once OBJ
Jected to by the anti-Lecomptonites, who
offered as an amendment, that they
should have the support, provided they
stood fairly and squareIy upon the Wall
lace Resolutions, as Interpreted by the
Douglas Democracy" On this amend
ment an excited debate ensued, and the
Lecomptonites finding themselves likely
to be defeated, asked to lay their own
original resolution on the table, and
backed out Of the contest. They found
the popular current too strong against
them. What is to be done with State
ticket that can't get the endorsement Of
Democrats in the strongest Democratic
counties?

OF The Democrats of Putnam county
have appointed delegates to the seventh
Congressional District convention, and
instructed them to support the nomina-
ton Of the Hon. Henry Secrest, for Rep
resentative. Mr.. secre st is supported
in several of the counties by the Lecomp-
ton men. to defeat Davis, though Secrest
himself is one Of the most uncompro
missing anti-Lecompton men in the State.
He will probably be the nominee OF the
regular Democratic convention, in that
District. If the Lecomptonites are dis
posed to compromise on such terms
thro lghout the State, and accept their
most bitter opponents as their nominees,
they can have peace and harmony in
the Democratic ranks everywhere.
They can purchase it in this district, on
the same conciliatory terms. Let them
accept Judge Hovey, and there will be
no opposition.

RUNNING Orr SLAvEs.-A great ex-
element was caused last week, in Nor
folk, by the discovery that New Jer-
Sey Schooner that had been trading in
Chesapeake Bay, had carried off five val :
cable negroes. The loss was not discov-
cred till after the vessel had cleared and
left. A steamer was despatched in pur-
suit, which overhauled her, and finding
the slaves on board, brought the schoon-
er back. On her arrival at the wharf,
1000 citizens had assembled, whose first
impulse was to lynch the off GERS and
crew of the vessel. But meeting was
organized and it was voted that the law
should take its course. The captain
and crew were committed to prison
Another Della sare schooner was dis
covered carrying away slave, the Off
GERS and crew OF which, were arrested
Two persons supposed to have encour,
aged and aided in the escape Of slaves
had been warned by apublic meeting to
leave the city in twenty four hours.
