A CURIOUS PRAYER.-In the State of Ohio thero resided family consisting of an old man by the name of Beaver, and his three sons, all of whom the advice and entreaties ot pous, though very eccentric minister, who resided in the same town. It happened that one of the boys was bitten by a sr.ttlesnake, and expected to die, when the min ister was sent for in great haste.
 On his arrival he found the young man very pen iitent and anxious to be prayed with. The minister calling on the family, prayed in this wise:
 -"Oh Lord. we thank thee for rattlesnakes we thaIk thee .hecause a rattlesnake has bitten him We pray thee, send rattlesnakc to bite John send one to bite Bill send one to bite Sam and. o Lord, send the biggest kind of rattlesnake to bite the old man, for nothing but rattlcsnakes will ever bring the Beaver family to repentance

The Kansas correspondent of the Boston Journal gives the following iaforsnation relative to the effect of the climate of Kansas upon persons afflicted with pulmonary complaints:
 when they do occur, they usually assume the form of pneumonia. have never met with an instance of consumption contracted in the Territory; but many who come here reduced apparently by that terrible disease to almost hopeless condition, are soon restored by outdoor prairie life to robust and vigorous health. Whether this results from the pe- culiar dryness of the air, or some other cause, l know not but the fact is indisputable. Had 1 d friend suffering with pulmonary disease, would confidently advise him to come to the frontier amount horse or mule, or take carriage, as his strength and taste dictated and make trip to San ta Ee or the Rocky Mountains Now, when so many consumptivcs seem to be injured rather than benefited by visiting Cuba and other tropical re- gions, the plan is certainly worth testing.
