death by administering poison to her as she lay

CURE FOR BRONCHITIS The following SAYS
the Scinetifc american is not the remedy of a
retired physician, whose lands of life have
nearly run out, but of one of the cleverest and
most reliable of our friends, who has tried it
himself and seen it tried on others, and has new
er known it to fail in effecting permanent and
radical cure: Take the common mullen leaves,
after having been properly dried, and use them
in clean new pipe, the same as smoking tobac
co. The patient will soon be able to discover
whether it affords relief, and govern himself ac-

PARTICULARS OF THE FINDING OF THE RE-
MAINS OF Mr.. THURsToN THE AERoNAUT.-On
Saturday afternoon a son of Mr. Hoag was
searching in piece of woods for some lost sheep,
on farm about six or seven miles from this
city. In his search he penetrated thcket of
brushwood on knoll surrounded by wet land,
and there at the foot of large oak tree he
discovered articles of clothing, bones, &C., which
satisfied him that dismembered human body
had decayed, and portions of it had been eaten
by animals.
There were portions of human body scatter
ed around near the tree. Close by the tree, and
embedded in the earth, was found the jaw bone
broken, and matted hair, partly in the earth.
About two rods from the tree was found one of
the boots of the person. containing foot near
ly perfect but much decomposed and portion
of the shin-bone with flesh adhering to it. The
boot had been gnawed, and evidently the flesh
had been eaten by hogs or wild animals. Por-
lions of the spine were also found scattered
about and several of the nails, teeth &c., and
parts of the skull were lying near. The clothes
were, however, the means of identifying the
body; they being not so much destroyed but
that their texture could be discovered.
In the pockets of the clothing were found q
Lepine silver watch, jack knife, and buckskin
purse containing 81 36 in money. A pair of
gloves were found in one of the coat pockets,
and in another letter and several cards. The
letter after drying was readable, and was found
to be directed to Mr. Thurston. it was from a
Philadelphia house, in reply to some inquiries
he had made about silk for balloon.
The balloon assembled frnm Adrine, at nine
O'Clock, on the 18th Of September last, with Mr.
Bannister and Thurston in it descended on the
farm of Mr.. J. Dinge, in Ogden, near Knights
Station, at about ten o'clock, and the escapade
occurred at about half-pa ten O'Clock, owing
to the removal of the carropes and other weights,
while Mr.. Thurston was trying to open the valve
when, as bystanders expressed it, the balloon
bounded~up like a rocket, carrying Mr.. T. as
above stated. 1t must have been within 90 or
80 minutes Of this time that the valve gave way
and he fell"

SoRRowFUL.- Gettysburg( Pa. Compiler
gives an account of the loss of little boy, four
years of age, a son of Mr.. Oyler of Cumberland
county. He strayed from home, and the whole
neighborhood started out on the search, securing
the surrounding mountain through the day. and
displaying lighted torches after night. After
two days and nights the little fellow was dis
covered nearly nine miles from his home. The
Compiler then adds: The little dog, which
had been the child'S playmate, and which had
accompanied him in his loIg and faithful jour-
ney, was found nestled in the child's bosom,
with his head reclining on his cold and Ifeless
form. This faithful dog had tramped quite path
around the feless body of the sleeping innocent,
thus betraying the affection which it had for the
youth, and in its fond caresses had licked back
the hair upon the child's forehead The corpse
was conveyed home to its weeping mother, who,
under the peculiarly affecting circumstances,
was almost frantic with grief !"

fishing the Bank Of Indianapolis, with auxiliary
