HOMEOPATHY

Among the Inventions aud improve
ments with which the day is so rife, that
made by Prof Humphreys is not among
the least With all the superiority of the
Homeopathic System of Medicine over
IL at of the old school 10 its freedom from
danger and the ease and pleasan.ness With
which its medicines may be taken or Civ
en- to children, it It'll remained an intri-
cate sy-tem for the people to use. From
the fact that single medicine is given
at dose, and each applicable to only
certain symptoms, large nunber Of med
icines aud large book of directions be-
came necessary in order to their use
And sbat is worse, these directions are of
the most nice and discriminating charsc-
ter, so that often the longer one looked
and studied, the more puzzled he became,
nor could any amount of learned lumber,
in the way of Domestic Manuals, explain
the matter.
At this precise point the discovery Of
Prof Humphreys comes in. He asoer-
tanned, from repeated experiments, what
had been before denied, that certain med
icines in this system might be harmoni-
ously combined in a single remedy which
possessed. in good part, the advantages of
each of its ingredients, and upon this
principle forms series of Specific reme-
dies for each of the more common disea-
ses or ailments. With these all uncer-
taintity and embarrassment in giving the
remedies is avoided, and they may be
properly administered by any person of
ordinary intelligence. His improvement
is certainly valuable, and one which
throws the benefits of this beautiful and
efficient system into the hands of the peo-
pie, and must prove blessing to thous
auds. His Specifics are spoken of in high
terms by those who use them, and We can
readily conceive must prove valuable
addition to the comforts of family.

Premature Funeral.

a Whole Family Poisoned.

The citizens of Napierville, Dupage
County, have been having mad dog ex-
citement lately. One day this week,
gentleman, whose name We have not
learned, went to drug store to get some
poison for the purpose of exterminating
part of the canine community, and
while there purchased some chewing gum
for his children. He put both packages
in bis pocket. and returned home. By
mistake be gave the wrong package to his
children and bated the dogs with the gum,
in consequence of which the former very
soon died. Not long after his wife also
expired from the effects of a small por-
ton of the supposed gum, and the man
was himself taken dangerously i'll, be
having taken a taste of the poison under
the same mistake. Our informant states
that the child of another man has been
poisoned in the same town By eating
soda cracker prepared for dog.-CHi-

DOUGLAS BECOMING DEvoUT.-Mr. Douglas
took occasion at Dayton to "thank God that
he held no opinion that could not be pro-
claimed IN the same terms everywhere
wherever the American flag waves over
American SOIL" OF this devout expression
the Times truly remarks:
cit is pleasant to find the Senator from
Illinois so regular and systematic in saying
grace over his speeches. 1t is an agreeable
surprise to find him thanking God for any
thing; but we trust he has more legitimate
topics for gratitude than the single one for
which he renders such ostentatious and
devout Acknowledgements. We should be
very sorry to hold no opinions which could
not be proclaimed, in the same terms,
everywhere Mr.. Douglas can hardly be
ignorant of the fact that there are certain
portions of the country where man could
not express, in any terms, the sentiments
which nine men out of every ten in the
North hold concerning slavery, without dan
ger of being hung. He may sthank God
that he holds no such opinions but it is
not the first time God has been thanked by
q Pharisee on very insufficient grounds, The
Senator's phrase sounds we'll, and is always
applauded; but it is simply an acknowledge
ment that he holds no opinions of his own,
but only sush as other people will permit
him to avow."

PARTICULARS OF THE MASSACRE OF THE
EM1eRANr TRAIN.-Our dispatches from St.
Joseph, Mo-, on the 22d, stated that an emil
grant train had been captured, and the emf
grants murdered by the Snake Indians. The
dispatches to the New York papers are fuller,
from which we obtain the following partic-
ulars:
Mr.. II. Scheiber had just arrived at Yreka,
with news of the massacre by the Snake
Indians, of an entire emigrant train, consist
ing of 46 persons, 10 of whom were men, the
balance women and children.
The party were first attacked about fifty
miles on the west side OF Salmon Falls, ON the
9th of September. This attack lasted about
ono hour. The Indians then withdrew, and
allowed the train to proceed five miles. Then
they again attacked them. The fight lasted
two days AID one night. On the afternoon
of the 10Th, the Indians had possessionoi the
train, with the exception of six lneD, who
being moanted, escaped. After travelling
through the woods for niue days, these six
were again attacked, and five of the party
killed. Scheiber alone escaped BY hiding in
the bushes After travelling for seven DAYS
without food, he was found in an Exhausted
condition by some persons who took him to
the Dalles Of the nineteen males in the
party, six were discharge d soldiers from Fori
Hall. Mr.. Scheiber, is the only one who
escaped. He says that the elk men who left
on horseback, did not leave until the Indians
had complete possession of the train, and
from the screams otthe women and children,
he was lead to believe that the whole party
were butchered. .

Vote on the General Banking LAW.

Vote on the General Banking Law.
The Upton Aduertiser calls attention to a
fact not generally known-that the voters OF
Iowa are to pass upon an amendment to the
General Banking Law. Tho law, as passed
by the seventh General Assembly, required
fifty thousand dollars, at least, as the capital
stock of Stree bank" before bills could be
issued. The last Legislature passed bill to
amend that law SO that bank may be estab-
lished with twenty-five thousand dollars
capital stock, and the people are to vote "For
amendment to General Banking Law" or
"Against amendment to General Banking
Law"
We are sorry that this matter was not
broached sooner in the newspapers, so thatits
merits could have been generally discussed.
As it is, the vote on the question will be
exceedingly meagre, as very few people are
aware that such vote is to be taken.
We do not hesitate to say that we are
opposed to the amendment. Our present
banking law is working satisfactorily, and the
people should be contented with it. If this
amendment is adopted, it will open the way
for the establishment of innumerable free
banks, which have been curse to Indiana
and Illinois, and in fact to the entire North
Vest For one, we shall vote Against
amendment to General Banking Law
