Hot TallOW a Cure for IngrOw.
ing Nails.

We take the following remedy for com.
mon and very plainful af1iction, from the
Boston Medical and Surgical Journal:
The patient on which 1 first tried this
plan was young lady, who had been un-
able to put on a shoe for several months,
and decidedly the worst case that 1 have
ever seen. The disease had been of long
standing. The edge of the nail was deep
ly undermined, the granulations formed a
high ridge, partly covered with skin, and
pus constantly eozed from the root of the
nail. The whole toe was swollen, and ex-
tremely painful. My mode of proceeding
was this:
put very small piece of tallow in a
spoon, and heated it over lamp till it be-
come very hot, and poured on the gran
ulations: The effect was almost magical.
Pain and tenderness were at once relieved,
and in few days the granulations were all
gone the d'aeased parts dry and destitute
Of feeling, and the edge of the nail expos
ed so as to admit of being pared away
without any inconvenience. The cure was
complete, and the trouble never returned.
l have tried this plan repeatedly since,
with the same satisfactory results. The
operation causes but little pain if the tai
low is properly heated. A repetition
might in some cases be necessary, although
L have never met with any case that did
not yield to one application. Admitting
the theory of DR.. Lorinser to be correct,
m, MODES operandi is very plainly to be seen.
The liquid cautery insinuates itself into
every lnterstice under the nail. along the
fistula into the ulcer at the matrix Of the
nail, accomplishing in one minute, without
pain, all that can be effected by the painful
applications of nitarte of silver for several
weeks.

allude to the pulling of our hair, or the
rough handling we received on suspicion of
thievishly inclined, but will add a moral at
the summing up of the days adventures.
We went into the grand saloon, heard q
remarkable slim and egotised band play
the sGreat Eastern Polka" and then en-
deaver to sell the same to the young ladies
who lowered near, then followed the crowd
to the steering apparatus, where, in comps-
ny with "msny Others" we tarred our
hands, oiled our garments and satisfied our
curiosity. Subsequently we assembled the
paddle-boxes, lost our new felt hat and en-
joyed the view. Finally having seen it
all, we joined our up-river friends, and en-
nsasse gave three rousing cheers and a
"tigah," partly for the Great Eastern and
partly for the fun of the thing.
In grand procession we marched to the
Thomas NOVEL;, satisfied that if the Great
Eastern is great wonder that she is also a
great failure. At 81 o'clock amid the moi
siest and merriest demonstrations Of de-
light, the excursionists took their depart
ure, having, as they said, enjoyed them
selves hugely, having entirely replenished
the treasury of the "Poughkeepsie Young
Mems Christian Associatien," and having
experienced from early morn to dewey eve,
right royal and entirely tip-top time.
MORAL REFLECTIONS.
When you visit the Great Eastern
carry an umbrella; wear tightly fitting
hat; keep out Of places on whose doors are
painted, "No admittance," and if you are
a lady, 60 without hoops and wear the
the cleanest of white and closely fitting
stockings.

Deep Underground Tempera.
ture.
The temperature of the artesian well in
Columbus at the depth of 2275 feet, the
deepest well in the world, has been ascer-
tanned by Prof. Wormly to be SO degrees,
Farenheit. The Staee Journal says:
A Walferdin's registering thermometer,
contained in glass tube filled with water,
and this tube enclosed in an iron one nearly
filled with water, and closed perfectly tight,
was sunk in the we'll few days since, to
a depth of 2, 475 feet, at which place it
remained for twenty-five hours it was then
lowered to the bottom of the we'll, depth
of 2,575 fact, and there retained for forty
minutes. Upon the withdrawal of the
thermometer, it was found to have register
ed sS deg. Farenheit. Which may be as
sumed to be the temperature at the bottom
of the well.
In Paris at the depth of 80 feet ther-
mometer was continued without variation
at temperature of So deg. Fahr. for near
ly two centuries. Taking this as correct
for Columbes, the increase of temperature
below this same point of constant temper
ature, would be deg. for every seventy
one feet.
Many observations have been made in
the temperature of mines and wells, and
they all show an increase of heat as we de-
cepd below the surface. There is however,
much discrepancy as to the ratio of in
crease.
The mean rate of increase, from results
Of six Of the deepest coal mines in Dur
ham and Northumberland is ] deg. for
every forty-four feet. Observations in the
lead and silver mines of Saxony gave de-
gree for every sixty-ive feet. The in
crease observed in sinking the Grenelle
well at Paris was 1 deg. for fifty eight feet.
In the Artesian at Mondorf, on the 'front.'
ier of France and Luxembourg, and the wa
ter at the depth of two thousand two hun
dred feet, had temperature of SO deg.
F., showing an increase of deg. for fifty
four feet. The artesian well at Louisville,
Ky, at depth of two thousand and eighty
six feet, showed temperature of s21 deg
F., being an increase of deg. for every
sixty-seven feet.
From the above reports it would appear
that the temperature below Columbus did
not increase as rapidly as in most other pla-
ces where observations have been made.

The Corporation has lately passed a Law

we use now correspond with the scaled nlea-
sures OF the State. and there seems no ne

ia adopted the recommendation of Congress
in relation to Measures, and those used here
answering to the requirement what need for
any thing more? CanIthe Corporation vir-
