ID. go to bed and cover up warm in a warm
room; 3D., drink as much cold water as he
wants, or as much hot herb tea as he can, and
in three cases out of four, he will be almost
entirely well within thirty-six hours.
If he does nothing for his cold for torty-eight
hours after the cough commences, there is
nothing that he can swallow that will, by any
possibility, do him any good for the cold
with such start, will run its course of about
fortnight, in spite of all that can be done, and
what is swallowed in the meantime, in the way
of physic, is a hindrance and not good.
"F'eed a cold and starye tc0er" is mischiev-
GUS fallacy. A cold always brings fever the
cold never begins to get well until the fever
begins to subside; but every mouthful swal-
lowed is that much more fuel to feed the fever,
and, but for the fact that as soon as the cold is
fairly seated, nature, in a kind of desperation,
steps in and takes away the appetite, the COM
monest cold would be followed by very serious
results, and in frail people would be almost al
ways fatal.
These things being so, the very fact of wait
ing forty eight hours, gives time for the cold
to fix itself in the system; for cold does not
usually cause cough until day or two has
passed, and then waiting two days longer gives
its fullest chance to do its work before aiy thing
at all is done.-HaIrS JomnnL Of Health.

How CoLDs ARE CURED.-It would be to
the saving of human health and happiness, and
life itself, if the periodical press would never
publish a recipe for any human ailment, which
involved the taking of anything into the
stomach.
Some scrap editor characterizes il as an ex'
cellent remedy for cough caused by com.
mon cold, to soak an unhroken egg for forty
eight hours in halfpint Of vinegar, then add
as much honey, break up altogether, and take
a teaspoanful for a dose several times day.
If the writer of that recipe had possessed
the smallest amount of common observation,
he would have known that If man begins to
cough, as the result Of u common cold, 1t is
the result of nature herself attempting the

STATISTICS OF THE Corn CRoP.-The Gin
cinnati Gazette in an article on the product,
Influence and Results of Indian Corn" est-
mates the aggregate corn crop of the United
States for 1858, upon an apparently reliable
data at nine hundred millions OF bushels,
which, at an average of forty cents, will give
three hundred and Sirty millions Of dollars as its
value
1t is of such universal use that it stands in
place of the deficiency of the other crops. As
the Gazette says, it tattens hogs. cattle, enters
into the food of man, and forms the basis of
the dangerous traffic in domestic and manu-
featured liquors. In Ohio, in 1858, it required
100000 bushels of corn to tatten the hogs
killed and exported, 100000 bushels were
made into whisky, two or three millions more
tattened cattle. S2O000,O00 per annum will
not cover the commercial operations OF Cincin
natl in the single article of corn.
The corn crop of six states for 1850 is esti-
mated at 405, 100000 bushels. Of these, 200,-
100000 bushels will be a surplus for fattening
hogs and cattle, the manufacture of whisky,
and expectation to foreign and Atlantic mar
kets. The marketable price of articles manu-
featured from corn, and corn exported, estimat-
ed at New York prices, will not be under $780,
100000 bushels.
The editor thinks the time is near in which
all Europe will be obliged to receive corn in
grain as well as manufactured, and it is not
improbable that we shall be called upon to sup
ply the demand to an extent beyond anything
we have anticipated.

A CLERGYMAN ARRESTED WHILE PREACH
ING A FUNERAL SERMoN.-As the Rev. VIM
Watson, the pastor of the Methodist Church in
Glenwood, Ia, was preaching at a funeral, he
wa arrested by officers from an adjoining
county for passing counterfeit money. The
people in attendance at the funeral were so in
censed at the officers that they thrust them
from the house, and they concluded to retire
until the obsequies were concluded The cler-
gyman did not accompany the procession to
the grave, and the officers arrested him. They
had previously searched his house, in the eel
lar of which they found inks, presses papers,
rolling machines, and the entire apparatus for
the manufacture of counterfeit bank bills.
They also found 81, 1000 in counterfeit bills,
$500 of which were tens on the Forest City
Bank of this city, and about 5000 in fives on
the State Bank of Ohio. The clergyman made
a clean breast of the matter He became con
nected with some counterfeiters about two
years ago, and as he had been in early life an
engraver, he became a useful and hard-work-
ing member of the gang He has preached in
Glenwood about three years. He is about 40
years old, man of family, and has been very

| REMARKABLE PHENoMENoN.-Ne Nearly a
year ago, We gave, on the testimony of friend
| in Winchendon, an account of "the woman
who lives without eating or drinking" in
Chester, Warren County, N. Y. The evidence
of the truthfulness of the account was of the
! most positive and reliable character. The
same friend sends us an extract from a private
letter, written on the 4th inst, from citizen
of Chester, of character and responsibility.
He says:
''Mrs. Hayes remained much in her former
condition until the 4th of this month, when she
began to talk in a clear and distinct voice to
the persons present, who compose watch or
committee, appointed for the purpose Of salts
flying themselves and the public that her mar
vellous abstinence is really true. She cOntin-
ued to talk about an hour and quarter. She
requested all present to continue to watch her
for twenty-one days, and assured them that
God had sustained her more than two years,
without food or drink, and would continue to
do so for some time to come. She stated that
she should recover her health, and then she
would tell them all about the matter. She
wanted pledge from the members of the
watch, individually, that they would be .fdih-
FIJI ,cdtchmen for twenty one days. She has
had no spasms since she first spoke on the 4th
inst. She remains quiet and stupid most of
the time. She talks to the persons composing
the watch, once or twice day, from one half
to two hours. This watch is composed of six
men of known integrity. Two are constantly
present with her, and no others are permitted
to enter her room except her husband, who is
not allowed to go within twelve feet of her bed.
This watch entered upon the discharge of their
duties on the I'd inst, and will continue for
twenty -one days. She has eaten nothing since
the watch took charge of her."
Our correspondent adds that the force and
violence of her motions resembled those of an
automaton, rather than of living being, while
her vacant eye and expressionless countenance
seemed to denote that the vital spark was ex-
tinguished, and the soul had deserted its habi-
tation. Learned and scientific men have ex-
amined her case, but have as yet furnished no
satisfactory explanation of the mystery.

THE SCHOOL QUEsTIoN.-The School
Committee of Boston did not see fit to take ac-
ton upon the religious troubles in the Elliot
School. The courteous letter of the Bishop
of Boston was roughly thrown aside after
little discussion. The result will probably be
that the excitement will quietly die away, some
of the Catholic boys growing up in the streets,
and others returning to school, preferring "to
bear the ills they have than fly to others they
know not Of" There is one paragraph in
Bishop Fitzpatrick's letter which states in
nutshell the difficulty under which the Catho-
lies have always labored under our rules re-
curing compulsory Protestant religious in
struction in our secular schools. 1t is this
at has been supposed that, because he was
silent, he was satisfied with the state of our
public schools. This is not so. He has always
entertained the sentiments which he now exf
presses. But whenever and wherever an effort
has been made by Catholics to effect such
changes as they desired the question has been
distorted from its true sense, and a false issue
has. been set before the non-Catholic commune
ty. 1t has been represented that the design
was to eliminate and practically annihilate the
Bible. This has never been true; and yet this
has always been believed, and rallying cry
TO the rescue of the Bible 7 has resoundcd
on every side. Angry passions have been
reused, violent acts been committed, and, al
most invariably, the last condition Of things
has been worse than the first In the light of
this experience, any attempt to bring about a
change seemed calculated to cause much strife,
but very little good, and, therefore, not advisa-
ble."
In regard to this subject, the Boston Bee
suggests that we do not understand its bear
ing. We beg pardon. We understand it just
as Micah Dyer, Jr, understood 1t when he
asked the School Committee to spit in the face
of Bishop Fitzpatrick, and leave the sub-com-
mittee, of which he is Chairman, to prosecute
their religious crusade alone The papers say,
with kind of sad cxultation, that some of the
expelled boys have since been arrested for lar
ceny, and others found drunk in the streets
These are the trophies of Mr.. Dyer's crusade
of which he may well be proud.

AN INGENIOUS BLIND GIRL.-We have re-
ceived from Miss Hannah Donovan, young
lady connected with the State Lunatic Hospi.
tai of this city, and who is totally blind, a
beautiful miniature card basket, as specimen
of her own handiwork. 1t is constructed of
the finest wire, and of glass and steel beads.
Its perfect form and workmanship are truly
remarkable, indicating great natural genius,
which nothing but severe and patient disci-
pline could have so finely trained as to impart
to the nimble fingers through the single sense
of touch, the skill and cunning required to Gre
ate this tiny, curious thing. We have known
this young lady for some time, and i: is indeed
pleasing to observe, when in her presence,
that while the light and beauty of the external
world is to her a total darkness, and nature all
glorious, bat sealed book" there is beau
ty-giving spirit that watches whitman inter
nal sunlight of the soul, that ever beams forth
to shed warmth and happiness to all around
her.
Miss Donovan has, among other gifts, SUI
perior musical talent, which, with the natural
melody and sweetness of her voice, enables
her, by cultivation, to excel in this divine &C
complishment. We should judge that her
voice was capable of being brought to great
power and compass, as it has a fullness and
eyenness, which in its subdued tones is as
sweet as a birds. Her rendering of "'The
Blind Girl" at the chapel festivities on New
Years Eve, in tones so harmonizing with the
plaintive words, was remarkably fine. We
have also heard her, on the Sabbath, and at
the evening prayers, and are glad to observe
that she affords so much assistance aud adds
so much to the interest on such occasions.
We are also pleased to notice that she is here
surrounded with true friends, who do SO
much to encourage her worthy efforts, and
trust that she may long retain the situua-
Ton which she now occupies at the Hospi-
tai through the kindness of the superintend-
ent.
