LocKJAw CURED.-In New York a young lady ran
a Tusty nail into her foot recently. The injury pro-
duced lockj1w of such n malignant character that
her physicians pronounced her recovery hopeless.
An old nurse then took her in hand, and applied
pounded beet roots to her foot, removing them as
often as they became dry. The result was n most
complete and astonishing cure. Such Il simple remedy
should be borne in mind.

The State of Maryland has the high honor of being
the first State in the Union TO pay its proportion of
the national direct tax. Secretary Chase has ad-
dressed a complimentary letter to the State Treasurer
acknowledging the receipt of the money, and express
ing his qualification on seeing Maryland now, like
Maryland in the days of the old line, coming forward
with purse and sword, TO the defense and support of
the American Union.
As an indication of the signs of the times we notice
that Tennessee, Kentucky and Maryland are raising
new regiments for the Union army, and under the
influence of the Stars and Stripes in New Orleans
five regiments are forming for the same purpose in
that formerly secession ridden city. Maryland, also,
Is the FIRST State in the Union that has paid in her
war tax to the General Government, while Tennessee

n verdict against the city of Philadelphia for lands

preme Court, the will of Mr.. Girard is broken, the
purposes of his life defeated, and his great college
and charity swept away. The North American
says: The decision was in effect that the testament
of MIR. Girard, in some of its features, was an - ag-
gressive trust against public policy and law, and
therefore void and that in the eve of the law ne died
intestate. and his estate on the day of death vested
in his heirs.
