A Certain Cure for Diptheria.

from the Missouri Democrat, to the care
full attention of our readers. This ter
rible disorder is alarmingly prevalent
in some Of our neighboring counties,
and is of frequent occurrence in our
own. The remedy proposed is easy
of access and of but nominal cost,
and if it should prove as ef1icacious
as the author Of the letter would have
US believe, it will be of incalculable
worth in alleviating pain and prevent
ing death. A thorough trial of the
remedy can do no harm. 1t would be
we'll for every family to keep the pre-.
parations on hand, ready for emergen-
cies when delay might be fatal:

DEATH OF HALEs, THE GIANr.-Many
persons will doubtless remember
Hales, the giant, who was exhibited
some years ago at Barnum's Museum
in New York, and other cities. His
hight was seven feet six inches, and
his weight four hundred and fifty-two
pounds. He died recently at Var
mouth, England, and, strange to say,
of consumption, having dwiudled
away almost to a skeleton.

he looked eagerly in the young face
for some sign of vexation or disap-
pointment, as she looked timidiy
