We stated in our last that Mr.. Mallory
and Mr.. Ward, Of this city, had been bitten by
mad dog, and had gone to try the virtues Of
. maidstone in the central part of this State
The parties returned home on Monday even
ing last, having applied the stone, and have
every reason to believe they are cured. Mr.
Mallory called at our Office on Tuesday, and
gives the following account of the operation.
He found the maidstone in the possession
of Mr.. J. p. Evans, of Lincoln, Logan county,
and describes it as small, fesh-colored stone,
about two inches broad, half an inch thick, and
very porous. The stone was first placed In
warm water for an hour, and applied to the
flesh wound, when it adhered firmly for sever
al hours, all the time apparently drawing, with
strong suction, the blood from all parts of
the body. After remaining on several hours
the stone, as it became charged with the pois-
on, became of milky Wilderness, as also did the
flesh Immediately about the wound, when all
at once it fell of, and being placed in warm
milk emitted strong, offensive odor, and grad
ualIy discharged its contents into the milk, and
assumed its natural color again. 1t was then
again applied with the same results several
times, until finally it would adhere no longer,
and the patient was declared cured The par
ties have all confidence in the treatment, and
feel an assurance that they have ayerted an
awful death, particularly as it has since been
ascertained that the dog that bit them was in
reality mad, and mare belonging to Mr..
Bickerman, which was bit the same day, has
| already been attacked with hydrophobia, and
| Is probably dead by this time.
Mr.. Mallory states that there were several
other patients from various parts Of the coun-
| try awaiting at Mr.. Eyans's oapply the stone,
and that it had never been known, when ap-
Piled in time, to fail in effecting cure.

Truths for Farmers.

A recent number of the Country Gentle

by John Johnston, ESQ.,, one Of the most sue
cessful agricnlturaIists Ia the State, that pres

SISTERS AND MoTHERs-These are ties
which, like the invisible strings of conscience,
bind man to the world of kindly affections, and
are the last things forgotten when one leaves
life. The marriage situation may be one of
pure and uninterrupted felicity there may
be no cloud in its whole happy horizon it
may be ever sunny, and flowers spring in it
at every season Of the age but even these
happy ones, who are in this cline of bliss, re-
member long and late the claims Of sister or
mother to their best affections. The feelings
inspired by both sister and mother are all de-
| rived from sources pure as the Divinity that
inspired them.

The ZoUAvEs AND THE TURcos. -The news
paper correspondents from Italy, and Paris
story tellers give US all sorts of reports and
anecdotes about the Zouayes, the Turcos, and
other new species of troops now in Italy. The
Zonaves at Palestro, they tell US got their
bagged trouser legs 50 wet, and therefore SO
heavy, in crossing some low lands, that when
ordered to the charge, they cast off their trous-
ers and ran to the Austrians, bayonet in hand,
bare-legged The corps has been so wild, it
is also added, and so little regardful of naeana
and tea1a, that the Emperor summoned GER
tain number of them, and told them, he would
order them back to Africa and to France, if
anything of the like occurred again, whereupon
1t IS said they cried like children, and promised
good behavior.
The Turcos are a new race Of men on the
european field of battle, or at least, not there
seen or known since the days of Hannibal,
who led their ancestors into Italy They are
Mohammedans under French officers, and
sub-officers, natives of Africa, about Algiers.-
We have to-day the first account from them
on the field Of battle, in the correspondence of
the Constitutional from Noyara, June 4th.-
MeMahon's division is made up of these troops
and others from Africa. The correspondent
had then just heard of this division at Magen-
ia, where they attacked the Austrians protec-
ted by their cannon. aLike tigers (says the
writer) they preciptated themselves upon the
Austrians, crying victory" even before they
had discharged their guns. The attack is said
10 have exhibited one Of the strangest and
most terrible spectacles of war. The Turcos
threw themselves upon the enemy like the
sayages of Cooper, without mercy or quarter
Soon horrible melee occurred. The voice Of
the cannon even was drowned by the savage
cries of Turcos-cries not the chaunt of VIC
tory, nor the plants of the dying and wound
ed. All the language of Mahomet can muster
Of imprecations broke forth from them in is
solated groups, where one Turco would often
be seen struggling against three or four AUS
trains. When the Austrians ran, and the
strife was over, the spectacle was not less
strnge. The fanatic conquerers rolled upon
the earth, and under the inspiration of some
African war song, they danced the most fran
tic species of dances, amidst, bursts of laugh
ter, and fightful cries, that startled even their
companions in arms. Some Of them had
forced their prisoners to sit beside them, and
upon these poor prisoners at first they glared,
as the hon glares upon its prey and. then,
with species Of fascination, as if they pitied
the poor creatures now without means of de-
fence. In other parts of the field they lay
down upon the ground, exhausted with IA
tgue, and recovering their strength in sleep.

Coon OLD Soul five always noticed it

NOT HEARING.-The art of not hearing,
though unFaught in schools, is by no means
unknown or Impractical in society. We have
noticed that well-bred woman never hears
an impertinent or vulgar remark. A kind Of
discreet deafness saves one from many insults
from much blame, from not little apparent
conniyance in dishonorable conversation.
