CossUNrffoS-Ergot of rye, or spurred rye,
has received the approval of the Academy Of
Medicine at Turin, as one of the the most active
remidies for the consumption Dr. Parcla, the
author, describes the action as infallible, if not
in curing the desease, at least in staying the
progress of the pulmonary inflammation which
constantly accompanies the formation of tuber-
cles Dr. Parola administers two grammes OF
the powder per day, and suspends it every four
or fve days for forty-eight hours. When the
stomach is too weak, the resinous extract may
be administered in pills instead of the powder,
to the amount of forty or fifty centigrammes, or
else portion in solution of gum Quinine,
foxglove, and even opium may sometimes be
admin tered together with it, By this treat
ment, DR.. Parola has cured sixteen cases out of
thirty-one of confirmed consumption in an ad-
vanced stage.

WIND MILLS FOR MINING PURPosEs.-A party
of miners and mechanics have formed a company
for the purpose of raising water for mining pur.
poses by means of wndmills There are many
localities where an abundance of water can be
found at depth of from 5 to % feet 1t would
not take many shafts with windmi.ls attached
TO raise an ordinary sluice head. The mills
could be put up roughly but in substantial
manner for $50 or $50 each. These mills have
proved universally successful for irrigating pur-
poses, and why mag they not be made useful
for mining purposes? Each mill would raise
from two to four inches of water There are
many localities where a single sluice head might
be thus obtained which might prove of immense
value The idea is a novel one, and well worth
n thought.-Grass Valley Mining Journal

The Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps

Is consequently in great demand by persons
travelling, or about to settle in parts of the
country especially, as we'll as by many in every
community, where it has become known, on
account of its various other remedial properties.
In all cases of Dropsical tendency, ii is gen.
orally the only remedy required, when adopted
in the early stage of the disease.
In dyspepsia maades, when taken in proper
quantities. as diet drink, and especially at
dinner, it is found, by uniform experience, to be
eminenty efiicacious IN the most obstinate cases,
when even the best of the usual remedies have
failed to afford more than temporary relief In
cases of Fatulency it is an immediate and n-
variable specific, and it may be administered in
diluted and proportionate quantities, even to
You've INFANTS, in all those paroxysms of grip
ing pain in the stomach and bowels to which
they especially subject, as well as in the
collie of grown persons.
Its judicious adoption in connection with the
principal meals, or when a sense of exhaustion
dictates its use, never fails to relieve the debi-
low temperament and exhausted vital energy, by
whatever cause induced. These are facts to
which many of the most eminent medical men,
both in England and the United States, have
borne testimony, and which are corroborated by
the highest written authorities.

A MEDICINAL DRINK, Of eminently salutary
n qualities, manufactured by himself exclu-
sively, at his factory at Schedam, in Holland,
and well known during the last twelve years
throughout all the Atlantic and Western States.
1t is made from the best barley that can be
selected in Europe, with the essence of an aro-
matte Italian berry, of acknowledged and ex-
traordinary medicinal properties. 1t has long
since acquired higher reputation, both in
Europe and America, than any other diuretic
beverages.
Analysed, it is perfectly pure Liquor, in its
effects mild and wholesome tonic. 1t is ex-
tensively used and approved by the medical fac

&c.
In Gravel, Gout and rheumatism in obstrue-

invariably reliable; and it is not only remedy
for these maladies, but in all cases where they
produced by drinking bad water, which is

very severe Cough, with violent Pains in the
Side and Chest be came so much reduced that
my friends frankly told me that must die. At
this crisis, heard of IFistar's Balsam of Wild

effect produced was indeed wonderful Nv nhy-
sician, one of the most respectable in Boston,
who had previously told me that a cure was
hopeless, came in, and informed him what
had taken. He examined the Baisam, and ad-
vised me to continue the use of it, since which
time have continued to improve daily; and the
same physician who had given me up, told me,
few days since, that ] might yet live many
years.

The Cnt Undnr the MeaI.

The Chicago Democrat edited by Long John
Wentworth, has no faith in Mr. Douglas, and
says that his present position was only taken to
secure his reelection to the Senate. In relation
to the Committee OF Conference, the Democrat
has the following:
"Mr. English, of Ia is a warm Douglas man;
and has acted with Douglas from.the commences
mont of the session. He is for Douglas for the
next President, aud was for him when Buchanan
was nominated.
Although the report says that the Commllle
has not had meeting, wo have not the least
doubt, but Mr., English has, in his pocket, the
very report which the Senate aud House will
adopt, aud we have no ubt that Buchanan and
Douglas both know what the report is To be.
Our eyes are no longer turned to Congress up.

The Canal Contracts Unconstitutlonal--r
Question Settled,

The long veXed question OF the Canal Con
tracts was set at rest aud forever this morning
by the Supreme Court. The Question was brought
up on demurrer by The Attorney General from
the court below. The question was argued IN
the Supreme Court last week by Hon. George
w. Parsons, of this city, aud the Attorney Geii.
,ral in behalf of the State, aud by Col. Noah IL.
Swsyne, of this city, and Hooking Hunter, Esq,
Of LaneasteI for the contractors. The argu-
inents were Of course able on both sides, the
counsel being among the very foremost ot the
Ohio bar. 1t was contended By the State that
the new constitution anuulled the law OF 1916
under which the contracts were made, and also
that the contracts created debt of an amount
larger than the new constitution permitted
fhes., as We understand, were the chief points
relied upon by the State to break the contracts,
aud these points W re sustained by the Supreme
Court in the decision read this morning by Ju sc
Swan, whiCh decision is understood to be a
unenimous one. This decision, therefore, takes
from the contractors tlIeir contracts, by declar-
ing them null and void, aud the keeping the ca
mails in order, making repairs, &c., will be doae
hencef1rIh in the old way, by the Board Of Pub
lie Works, %, $, JOWrHdl.

Just as we predicted, conference committee,
consisting Of three members from each brunch Of
Congress, has been appointed to harmouise the
harmonious democracy and adopt some plan up
on which they can unite for the admission OF

Messrs. Green, Hunter, and Seward; and the

ouestion on his motion that the House insist on
its adherence to its amendment, the vote stood
yea, one Hundred and eight, nays one hundred

made tie thercupou declaring tho motion lost.
This is a tolerabe sharp practice, but according

ruled every point in favor OF the conference
and it was finally carried by his casting vote as
