An experiment which has just taken
place in one of the Paris hospitals, appears
to establish conclusively that lockjaw can
be cured by means of curare poison. A
young man, twenty four years of age, having
had one of his toes carried off by shot
from musket- considerable injury having
been inflicted on the adjoining ones by the
projectile- seized with the lockjaw four
days after the accident. DR.. Chassignac,
(who supplies this account of the case,j was
called in when the patient was already far
gone. A potion consisting of one hundred
and sixty grammes Of tea with ten cent?
grammes of curare was administered in
dose of one table spoonful per hour at the
same time the wound, which was much
jagged, and emitting fetid pus, was moist
ened with solution of twenty centigrammes
-four grains) of curare in two hundred
grammes of distilled water. Bottles of
warm water were put in the patients bed.
The first spoonful of the potion produced
some effect at the end 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 thirty, and at length to
forty centigrammes of the poison its pro-
portion in the potion was also increased to
sixteen, and then to twenty five cent?
grammes. At the end of six days the
patient was out of danger.

Destructive Con1lagration.

On Tuesday morning the 29th of Novem-
ber, the extensive Grocery and Provision
Store, and Dwelling house of Felix Reck,
situated on Third street, were burned to the
ground. The house which was occupied by
Mr.. Reck, as dwelling and boarding house
adjoined the Store. Between the hours of
twelve and one o'clock on Tuesday morning
boarder came home, and in about five
minutes after he retired to his room, the fire
broke out 1t is supposed to have caught
from pipe or cigar which said boarder was
smoking. Mr.. Reck in vain attempted to
extinguish the fire before alarming the
neighborhood. A large number of our cit
izens responded to the cry of fire, and
worked, some of them, with almost superhu-
man energy to save the property from entire
destruction. The fire had SO far advanced
upon the arrival of help that it was of no
use to attempt to save the buildings, and
therefore the efforts of the people were d.
rected to the removal of the merchandise
from the Store. None of the houshold fur
niture to speak of was saved. Most of the
merchandise was removed, although some of
it was greatly damaged. Alarge quantity
of Wheat, Oats, Beans and Potatoes was
destroyed.
The loss is estimated to be about $1,000,
viz: buildings, $500, goods $4OO, furniture
and bedding, $400. There was no insur-
ance, and hence the loss is severely felt by
Mr.. Reck, who has the sympathies of the
entire community. as.,
