THE GOOD SAMARITAN.
REMARKABLE Cures BY LENoN LANG,

REMARKABLE Cures BY ZENoN LANGLoIs,
sES.-Tllis venerable septuagcnarian of
our PARIS has been known for many
years for his unparalleled success in the
cure of chronic diarrhea, dysentcry and
bloody fux. The many remarkable
cures he has effected Of these diseases,
pronounced incurable by the medical
profession, attest the truth Of the above
remarks. His system of treatment he
learned more than forty years ago from
the Indians, and by which he accomp-
lished his own cure Of chronic dyscn-
terry Of eleven years standing. Since
then many persons have applied to him
when they had failed to obtain relief
elsewhere, and he has invariably sue
cceded in mastering every case.
We take the liberty of writing the
above because many persons who may
be suffering from some of the above dis
eases, when relief can be obtained from
no other source, might be Immediately
cured by calling upon him at his resi-
dence on False River. .-.-4 --. -.

Was not everything done in strict ac-
cordancc with Democratic usage The
person or persons interested, in the par

Oh the 18th Of Jnne-Mr Griffin knew
it, for we told him so, aud he will not
deny it, and, it was only an act of court
esy in us to adjourn the Convention to
the next day to give them a chance to
come if they intended to do so. But
the editor OF the Echo takes great UNI
brage at the manner in which the vote
|of the parish of Pointe Coupee was cast,
and seems like he wanted to make it an
|pear that the majority of the delegates
from that parish were opposed to Mr..
Phillips, and that had they all been pre-
sent would have voted against him.
Now, the correct position of the five de-
'egates appointed or elected by the De-
mocratic mass-meeting held at False
River, is simply as follows: Four of
them came here ON the day appointed
to hold the Convention, ready to vote for

had they been present would have voted
for him-besides, Mr. Platt, the fifth del
egate, expressed himself in similar
manner. The proof of this statement
is in our hands, and we give it to our
readers exactly as it is in the original
signed by all the delegates from the
parish of Poiute Coupee, which any one,
who feels himselfany ways interested in
the matter, can see by calling on us at
our Office:
We hereby ratify and approve of the proceed

the parish of Pointe Coupee was represented by
proxy; and the nomination of Mr.. Phillips meet,

votes for him r. A. ROY.

DEATH FROM A WOUND INFLICTED ny A
ROOSTER, CoNFIRMED.--Some time ago state
ment was published, taken from the Newport
Gazette, Perry county, Pennsylvania, TO the
effect that 8 Mr. Black, of Newport, had died
in consequence of an ifcision by rooster
with its spurs in the arteries of the hand, imi-
tating, previous to his death, the Tapping and
Growing of a rooster. The statement has gone
the rounds of the press, accompanied in most
by comments of an incredulous nature. But
it appears to have been true, nevertheless
The Harrisburg Patriot is informed by a gen.
tleman from Newport. who was present al
Mr. Blacks death, that the account pu blishtd
in the Gazette of that place is strictly true in
every particular; that Mr.. Black suffered the
mostexcruciating agony, and that he made at
Temps to crow, Tapping his arms and making
a noise so similar to a rooster that those out
side the house were persuaded to believe it
was one, until he was relieved by death.

Unity of the Spirit.-A most striking exem-
plification of this sentiment was witnessed
last Thursday night, at Sydney Station. The
occasion was a called meeting of the members
of the Methodist Church in Sydney, to con-
slider the propriety of asking the return of Mr..
Saunders the present minister of the church,
the next Conference year. Mr.. Saunders
services, as minister to the community are
held in grateful remembrance, not only by
the members of his own denomination but by
many members of other denominations, and
by many not connected with any church--and
the consequence of the meeting was unani-
nous request by his congregation for his re-
turn, and a competent sum to effect that OBJ
ject was subscribed. Such a compliment is
rarely awarded to any minister.

Quiet of the City.-The requisition of the
Governor upon our volunteers, and the large
number of armed men that have been sent
from this city, have created some alarm in the
minds of the timid, for the security of our city.
To all such we would say, quiet your alarm.
There is not the slightest necessity for it. The
Mayor now has five hundred men at his COM
mand, ready to be armed at moments warn
ing, and if necessary, five times that number
of true men and good could be called into SER
vice at q few moments notice. Riehmond never
was more quiet than at present, and the band

thieves, to enjoy possession of a small portion
of Uncle Sans domains for few hours, at the
cost of their heads, should give our people no
