by the Witson q. Hunt last week, we receiv-
cd the British CoIOnist of the 29th ult, for which
we are indebted to the politeness of John II.
Scranton, Esq.
The Gazette was suspended on the 26th ult,
but only temporarily, it seems; John F. Damon
having purchased the title and good will of the
paper, with the view of continuing its publica-
ton.
The most interesting item we find in the Col
O"'t is the following, relative to the late lament
ed Col Ebey:-
We were shown yesterday the scalp Of Col.
Ebey, who was murdered on Whidbys Island
by party Of Kake Indians, in August, 1857.
The scalp is entire, with the hair and ears. The
skin is free from tieshy matter, appears white,
but slightly discolored with smoke. The beauti-
fully fine silken brown hair is as natural as when
struck down by the ruthless tomahawk Of the
savage. II is one Of the sad mementoes Of bor-
der life. The scalp is in possession Of A. N.
Poe, ESQ.,, Of Olympia, W. T., who received it
from Capt Dodd, Of the steamer Ldbouehere, to
be transmitted by him to the family Of the de-
ceased. Capt Dodd is deserving Of much praise
for the pains he has taken to recover the mOlan-
eholy relic. At one time, in 1858, he was threat
ened with an attack upon the steamer BY pow
erful tribe, for merely asking the savages to sell
him the scalp. Yet, not discouraged by their
hostile demonstrations, he again sought out the
Indians Of the Kake tribe, who live about 756
miles north Of Victoria, who had it, on the last
trip Of the LGbOuehere, and after much persua-
sion, and the payment Of liberal reward, sue
ceeded in getting possession Of it Capt Dodd
was warm friend and admirer Of Col. Ebey.

asked the young man, who had listened
with the deepest interest and sympathy to
the touching recital. "I am impatient to

"She left me an hour or two since to at

"Ielen, my darling" continued the old
gentleman, rising from his chair, as the
young lady entered, "ailow me to introduce
you to my nephew. DIR. Herbert Lansing,
permit me to make you acquainted with
Miss Helen Atherton, your first patient, if
| mistake not" ci a3a s-a
The astonishment and delight of Her
bert as the object of his waking revcries
and midnight dreams thus unexpectedly
stood before him, fully repaid Uncle John
for the vexation which his nsphew's want
of confidence had occasioned him.
"You see, my boy that your old uncle
can have his secrets as well as yourself
he whispered, as Helen, blushing with
pleasure at again meeting one whe had
been well remembered, and at the same
time affected by the recollections which
his presence recalled, gracefully acknowl-
edged the young mans somewhat confus-
ed salutation, and passed on to the tea table,
which awaited her presence.
A few moments seemed to relieve Her
bert's embarrassment, and with heart
beating high with hope and joy, he obey
ed Helen's cheerful summons to the even
ing meal.
All reserve was soon at an end between
them, and they conversed with the free
dom of those who have been long and in
timately acquainted Uncle John gazed
upon the youthful pair with delight, and
when the hour for retiring to rest arrived,
he found himself in the solitude of his
own apartment, his grateful heart was rails
ed in thankfulness to his Heavenly Father,
who had bestowed upon him such blessings
to solace his declining years.
The time fixed for Herberts departure
arrived too quickly, but the sadness of the
farewell was mingled with joy, for he al
ready felt full confidence that Helen
knew and returned the devoted affection
with which he regarded her, and bright,
unclouded future seemed before him.
Ere another year had passed away, the
young doctor had exchanged his country
practice for favorable situation in the
city, and with the full consent and bless
ing of Uncle John, had claimed his first
patient as his bride. ..4

IMPORTANT IF TRUE.-A recent mum.
Der of the Milwaukee True Democrat con.
tains statement which j. of value to the
medical profession. That paper says:
Some eight months ago, Mr. T. Mason,
who kept a music store on WashingtoR
street. and his brother of the we'll known
Lowell Mason, asceT tanned that he had
cancer on his face of the size of pea. It
was cut out by DIR. Walcott, and the wound
partially healed. Subsequently il grew
again, and while he was in Cincinnati on
business, it attained the size of hickory
nut. He has remained there since Christ.
mas under treatment and has come back
perfectly cured. The process is this:
A piece Of sticking plaster was put over
the cancer, with circular piece cut out Of
the centre little larger than the cancer,
so that the cancer and small circular
rim of healthy skin next to it were expos
ed. The plaster made of chloride of zinc,
blood root and wheat flower was spread on
bit of muslin Of the size of this circular
opening. and applied to the cancer for
twenty four hours. st
On removing it the cancer will be found
to be burned into, and appear of the col
or and hardness of an old shoe sole, aud
the circular rim outside of il will appear
white and parboiled, as if scalded by hot
steam. The wound is now dressed, aud
the outside rim soon suppurates and the
cancer comes out hard lump, and the
place heals up.
The plaster kills the cancer, so that Il
sloughs like dead flesh and never grows
out again. :
This remedy was discovered by DR.. Fell,
of London, and has been used by him for
six or eight years with unfailing successj
and not case has been known of the re-
appearance of the cancer, where this REM
edy has been applied. 1t has the sanction
of the most eminent physicians and SUR
geons of London, but has not until re.
Gently been used in this country, and many
of the faculty with their provcrbial oppo-
si.ion to innovation, look upon it with dis
! trust.

OPPOSITION STATE CONVENTION.
This subject has been generally discuss

convention. Our opinion has beer. that
we should commence the CANVASS at as ear

that opiuion We have, however, no par.
tialiiy for any particular day. lnssmuch
as it is desirable that all those who are
really and sincerely opposed to the priB-
ciples and practices of the latter-day de-
mocracy, should be represented in the CON
vention; and since Opposition" pre.sup.
poses a knowledge of that which is 10 Be
opposed, it would seem proper to fix upon
some early day after the Democracy have
held theirs, for our convention. This, in
decd, appears to be the general desire, and
to it we shall offer no factious opposition,
The day will be agreed upon in due time
and all we have to say, at this time, ia that
our friends throughout the State should
take such steps as will insure general
representation in the convention In view
of the near approach Of the country, in
its party divisions, to sectionalism and
the mischievous tendencies of democratic
principles and rule, there never was o
greater necessity for a thorough orgsnira.
tion Of a conservative and national oppos
sition than at the present moment; and We
hopefully trust that Tennessee will not be-
behind her sister Kentucky, nor any other
of the States Of the Union, in thorough
and patriotic effort to rescue the Republic
from the dangers that environ it. Let us
then, organize, at once, for the coming
struggle, and whether defeat shall attend;
or victory crown our efforts, in either event
we shall have the proud consciousness Of
having discharged our duty, as citizens, to
our State and country.
