CURE FOR HYDRoPHoBIA.-A correspondent of the
New York Epening Post offers the following as
remedy for this horrible disease:
ga Saxon forester named Gastell, now of the
venerable age of 50 years, unwilling to take to the
grave with him secret of so much Importance,
has made public in the Leipsic Journal the means
which he has used for fifty years, and wherewith,
he affirns, he has rescued many human beings and
cattle from the dreadful death of hydrophobia
"Take Immediately warm vinegar or tepid
water, wash the wound clean Herewith, and then
dry it; pour then upon the wound few drops of
muriatic acid, because mineral acids destroy the
poison OF the saliva by which means the evil effects
OF the latter are neutralized."
PLUMBAGo.-The Portland Advertiser mentions
the exhibition there of a noble specimen of pure
black lead, which weighs about ESQ pounds, taken
from the Puzzle Mountain, in the town of Newry,
Oxford county, Me. From appearances it is SUB.
posed this mountain contains an inexhaustible sup
ply of this valuable ore. The vein from which the
lump above mentioned was taken runs east and
west and far, it has been traced from 100 to 200
rods. Similar veins have been found running north
and south, averaging from half aninch to two and
. half inches.

A REQUIEM IN THE NORTH.
Br BArAnD TAYLOR.

Speed swfter, Night!-wild Northern Night
Whose ioct the Arctic Islands know,
When ,tifening breakers. sharp and white,
Grid thy complaining shores of snow
send all thy winds to sweep the world
And howl in mountain passes far;
And hang thy banners free and cold,
Against tho shield of every star !
For what have to do with morn,
Or Summers glory in the vales-
With the blthe ring Of forest horn,
Or beckoning CLEAN OF snowy sails1
Art thou not gone. in whose blue eve
Tho f1eetng Summer dnwned to me
Gone like the echo of sigh
Beside tho loud resounding sea ?
oh. brief the time Of song and flowers.
Which blcst me through the Northern land !!
pinc amidst its lcaness bowers.
And on the bleak and lonely strand.
The forest walls the starry bloom
Which shall yet pave its shadnwy floor;
But down my spirits aslcs of gloom.
Thy love shall blossom ncvcrmorc
And never more shall battlcd pines
Their solemn triumph sound for me,
Nor morning fringe tho mountain lines,
Nor sunset flush the hoary sea;
But Night and Winter fill the sky,
ana ioau with frost the shivcring air,
Till every gust that hurrics by.
Chimes wilder with my own despair.
The lcadcn twilight cold and long,
Is slowly settling DER the wave;
No wandering blast nvakos a song
In naked boughs above thy grave,
The frozen air is still and dark;
The numb air lies In icy rest
And NIL is dead save this ono spark
Of burning grief within my breast.
Life's darkened orb shall wheel no more
To Loves rejoicing Summer back;
Ny spirit walks wintry shore,
With not a star t. light its track.
Speed swifter. Night. thy gloom and frost
Arc free to spoil and ravaro here;
This Inst wild requiem for the lost,
pour in thy unhceding car.

BOGUS CoIN IN ALBANY.-Our city is flood
ed with bogus three cent pieces. They rea-
dily pass current with those who dom take
the trouble to examine them closely. The
bogus ones that we have seen have no milled
edge-the stars surrounding the letter c are
very indistinctly cut-the bunch ofrods tied
together in the lower bow and the leaves in
the upper bow of the { are wanting in the
bogus coin. On the reverse side of the coin
the star is very badly executed-the points
being almost rounded, instead Of being dis
tinctly and finely cut, as in the genuine.
A lady friend of ours to whom we showed
the two coins, turned out the contents of her
port -monnaie, and out of eleven three cent
pieces, ten were bogus.-ABany Journal.
