THE LOcKJAw CAN BE CURED.-An exper-
iment, which has just taken place ia one of
the Paris hospitals, appears to establish con-
clusively that lock jaw can be cured by
means of the curase poison. A young man
twenty-four years old, having bad one of
his toes carried of by musket shot, con-
siderable injury having, ct the same time
been inflicted On the adjoining ones by the
projeCtile, was seized with the Iockiaw four
days after the accident. Dr.. Chassaignac
(who supplies this account of the easel was
called in, when the patient was already far
gone. A portion, consisting Of 100 gram
mes of tea, with / 0 centigrammes OF eurare
was administered in the dose of one la
blespocnftil per hour; at the same time the
wound, which was much jagged, and emit
ting fetid pus, was moistened with solu-
ton of 20 centigrammes A grains} OF Gu
rare to 200 grammes of distilled water
Bottles of warm water were put into the
patients bed. The first spoonful of potion
produced some effect at the enc of an hour
and as the treatment went on, so did the
state of the patient improve. The solution
of curare used for the local application was
gradually strengthened to 80, and at length
to 40 centigrammes of the poison; its pro-
portion in the potion was also increased to
16, and then to 25 centigTammes At the
end OF six days the patient was out of

DS- A writer to the New York Tribune,
opposes the election of a U. S. Senator from
Ohio until after the Presidential contest of
1860. He says many of the Republican
papers are insisting on the immediate cleo
ton of Gov. Chase; and adds, that Gov.
Chase is one of the weakest men in the
State, among the masses, and cites the cleo
tions to prove it. In 1855 Chase was nom
mated for Governor by the Republicans
and elected by majority Of 5,751 votes
the balance of the ticket carrying the State
by a majority of $4,000. The year before,
Judge Swan was elected by a majority of
$4,000. In 1856 the Republicans carried
the State by 10000. In 1857, Chase was
Fenominated, and, alters bitter contest elect
ed by majority of 1903; the residue of
the ticket having a majority of $4,000.
The writer says no man is so unpopular
with the old Wing party, as Gov. Chase,
and be concludes that precipitate election
of that gentleman to the q S. Senate, will
greatly imperil the Republican party in the
contest OF 1860. He says let the election
of Senator be put of until after that year
by all means.

The RATN.-0ur commission men,, no
doubt, realize that their wishes are fully
consummated. Whether the rain is in an
erto their prayers, we are. not able to
say; but that their prayers-if they pray
ct an--would have been,i "give us good
rain we feel confident The rain has been
quite general. All day long ON Thursday,
and probably all of Thursday night, it poured
down incessantlyy at St. Louis, and we
presume tie whole region of country, be-
tween here and that city, has been eqaant
favored. I'VE may now look for rise in
the Wabash, Ohio, and Green rivers with
the rise in those streams, wgexpect a stream
of produce to pour. into our city, and with
the produce, we look for an increase in
money. Our farmers have harvested ex-
ccllent crops, and we believe they will push
theif grain into market as speedily as pos
sible, with the money received for it pa
of the old scores against them in the eoull-
try stores, and once more breathe as free
.mea-4owing no man a-seeat. Produce of
all kind is bringing excellent prices, and
with the channels of transportation all in
good order, there will be no excuse under
heaven for them to hold on to their grain
and pork The country merchant having
received the money on his outstanding ac-
counts, we trust he will not let the grass
grow under his feet until he has the bills
against him in our city cancelled, and be
ready to take 4 fresh start ut the Beginning
OF theanew year. Come, gentlemen, long
pull, and a strong pull, and a pull altogether,
will relieve. our portion of the Country of
its lnde 2tedneSs, and we, VIII have meney
to spare. What say our farmers? Shall it
be done? With them rests the honor of.

EXECUTION AT ST.. LoUIs-HANGING OF
THoRNToN.-J- W. Thornton, who was con-
demned to death at St. Louis, for the MUIR
der of Mr.. Charles, of that city, paid the
penalty of his crime on Tuesday last. The
Republican says: $50.
During the reading of the death war
rant, Thornton stood erect, with his hands
in his side coat pockets, rocking gently to
and fro on his feet At the conclusion,
which was Il minutes after 3, he was placed
on small box over the trap-door, where he
stood apparently without the movement of
muscle or a nerve, until the white cap
was put over his head and face, his arms
pinioned together at the elbows with cord,
and the hangman's loop adjusted about his
neck. During this time, the priests were
engaged in silent preyer. At three o'clock
and fourteen minutes the spring was touch
ed, the door fell heavily against the posts
supporting the scaffold, and Thornton de-
scended five feet with a sudden plunge,
which broke his neck. For nearly three
minutes his body underwent commissions
and contortions horrible to look upon,
in which one of his hands clutched the plat
form, by which he seemed to raise himself
up moment and then drop. Every muscle
in his body quivered with tremor; and oc-
casionally the limbs would writhe as though
stirred with the most tumultuOus agitation
These spasms required AZ intervals of thirty
of forty seconds, became less and less Sc
we're, until 20 minutes after three, when
they ceased altogether.
