To-day there are some rumors
OF peace commissioners arriving at

we think without just foundation :

Gold is down to 174!. The gold
operators in New York are in
trouble. Eight or ten firms are
reported to have failed.
By the latest arrival from Eurl
ope we learn that the Cardinal vi.
cal at Rome, has issued q notifica'
ton relative to the jubilee. he re-
verts to the object of the Pope's
cncyclical letter, and particularize',
as especially d~eplorable, the errors
of liberty of conscience and Of re-
ligious worship being recognized
as legal rights:
lie can not recognize as just the
right of all to propagate through
the press erroneous principles, nor
can he recognize that the will OF
the people is the supreme law.

CURE For THE SMALL.Pox.-The
German Reformed Messenger has
received a letter from a friend in
China, in which it is stated q great
discovery is reported to have been
recently made by a surgeon of the
English army in China, in the way
of an effectual cure of smallpox
The node of treatment is as fol.
lows: When the preceding fever
is at its height, and just before the
eruption appears, the chest is rubl
bed with croton oil and tartaric
ointment. This causes the whole
of the eruption to appear on hat
part of the body, to the relief of.
the rest. 1t also secures a full and
complete eruption, and thus pre-.
vents the disease from attacking
internal organs. This is said to
be now the established mode of
treatment in the English army in
China, by general orders, and it is,
regarded as o perfect cure.

A BAD PRAcTroE.-Many per-
sons who use keosene lamps are in
the habit, when going to bed or
when leaving a room for a short
time, of turning the wick down
low in order to save a trife of the
consumption of oil. The conse-
ouences is that the air of the room
soon becomes vitiated by the UNI
consumed oil vapors by the gas
produced by combustion, and also
by the minute particles of smoke
and SCOT which are thrown off. Air
thus poisoned is deadly in its effects
and the wonder is that more per-

ness, and nausea are among its eff
