cnre for the Cholera,

An effectual cure for the cholera has, it ap.
pears. been discovered. Mr.. Worke6eld,
surgeon at Colbathfelds, says 1t is needless
now to enter on the theory of this practice,
which, on sound data, has been suggested by
DR.. Stevens but, suffice it to say, that ex-
pcrience has assured mo of its efficacy and
value. After promising that upwards of one
hundred cases, more or less malignant, have
occurred in that prison, with the loss only of
seventy (the first four prior to the adoption
of the treatment) l shall at once describe;
The usual care must be taken to promote
warmth by friction-hot, dry aannels, hot
water bottles to the feet, mustard poutices
to the chest aud, other, parts of the body
affected by cramp; but the main reliance is
upon the following powder, to be admins
tered every hour in half tumblcr of cold wa-
ter, namely; Carbonate Of soda, halfa drachm; /;
common salts, 20 grains; oxymuriate OF pot
ash, grains.
However irritable the stomach may be, the
common seidlitz powder, of efferveSccnt soda
araught, will, in most cases, quiet it, but
when it will retain nothing in quantity, e
teespoonful of the carbonate Of soda should
be dissolved in half turnbler of voter, and
given in such quantities as the stomach of
the patient can retain, from a teaspoonful up.
ward, until the stomach is sufficiently settled
to receive the powders.
The success of the treatment, which in
many cases has been perfectly surprising, in
duces me to hope it may be extensively
adopted. In cases of cholera, however, the
most unceasing wstchfulness and attention to
the patent is required. =,
The extreme thirst of the patient while
suffering under the malignant form of the
disease was relieved, and great benefit expe-
rfenced by soda water or seltzer water as
common drink, in quantities not exceeding
wineglassfui at time.
The Times says: We insert this account
because wo have made inquiries into the
statements which it contains, and End there
is no exaggeration.
The account of the successful application
of the saline treatment: has been officially
transmitted to Paris.

Oh, Bury Me Not.
BY W. P. wIGHTNA!


"oh, bury me not in the dark old woods,
Where the sunbeams never shine;
Where mingle tho mists of the mountain food
With the dew of the dismal pine
Bury me deep by the bright blue sea,
have loved in life so we'll;
Where the winds may como 10 my spirit free,
And the sound of the ocean swellp'
Oh, bury NE not by the surging sea,
Where tho tempest RACES loud,
And the sto-m-god rideth 1nadly free
On his chariot of cloud;
Where the solemn chauut of oceans wave,
And the Wailing night-wind's cry
Come mourning Ger the strangers grave
Where the mermaids sit and sigh!
Oh, bury NE not by the rolling sea,
Where the storm-kissed billows heave
Responsive to the tempests glee;
Where ocean-spritcs in darkness weave
The sea-weed shroud for oceans dead;
Where flaps the hungry sea-bird's wing
Above the drowning sailors head,
And tempest fends his requiem sing
I But carry me far in the grand old woods, !.
Where the fragrant jessamines spring,
Where the turtle rears her gentle broods
And the wood-nymphs love to sing;
And bury me there in some lovely glade,
By the sound of the streamlet's wave;
Meath tho rustling boughs in the beechnut:
shade
Let me sleep in my woodland grave

THE BATH PAPER MILL.-While in Au-
rusta last week, under the tender care of
friend S. D. Robbins, Of that comfortable hab-
itation, tho Planters Hotel (the interest of
which, by-the.way, is 30 closely looked after
BY the able attaches, Messrs. W. G. Carr
and John Goldslein), we were taken noLens
uolens by President Craig ACROSS the clay
colored Savannah, on visit to the manuiac-
tory of the Bath Paper Mill Company. which
is, we are pleased in saying, now in thorough.
working order. The capacity Of the mill is
about 5000 pounds per diem, with increased
facilities contemplated. tits ut present run
ming about 1900 pounds. When We take
into consideration the combining influences
operating heretofore adversely TO the pro
gressiveness of this mill, increased in 1862
by that destructive element fire, the energy
Of President Craig is exemplary. The Su-
perintendent, Mr.. Pollard, is unremitting in
his duties, and in his present position gives
increased evidences of bis ability in Ell insti-
tuition where he has been for several years an
Industrious operator. President Craig seems
fully up to the measure of the times, and his
determination OF purpose will yet prove pro-
ductive of very beneficial results to the Com
plnv.
A visit to Aiken was decided on the day
after oar return rom The mill. A car-ride
of ons ho.r and q hall took us to kind friends

Alas! alas! for US poor girls,

While papa growls "pooh-poob,"

CITY AND STATE ITEMS.

THE WRONG TEAM.-A man named
Brown, who came over from Ohio to at
tend market, on Saturday morning
made an awkward mistake, and extrlca''
ed himself from his unfortunate poslbion
in an awkward manner. He had - ooon
drinking rather freely in the saloon anu
was somewhat intoxicated when ne or
derad his horses and wagon in readiness.
while the hostler was hitehing up the
horses, Brown concluded he would have
time to take another drink, and entered
a bar room and drank several times. Re-
collecting that he had to return home, he
went across the street, jumped into
wagon and drove off. He drove over the
Island into the neighborhood of the Fair
Grounds, before he discovered that he
had drove off the wrong team. He
turned round, and was coming back at a
lively pace, when the owner of the team /
iumped into the wagon and said he
would take charge of it; and as he also
resided in Ohio, would save Brown the
trouble Of driving back to the city
Brown said he knew what he was doing
and wanted no one to jump on wagon

ten dollars and costs. He paid the fine,
returned to the Market House, secured
his own horses and wagon, and left for
home, a wiser and soberer man.

THE CITY HEALTH OFFrCE.-In OF

The CITY HEALTH OFFICE.--In our
report of City Councils on Saturday
morning we were in error in stating that
The City Health Office had been abolish
cd The resolution looking to the con-
summation of that object was laid on the
table, and not adopted. We are glad
the Office is not abolished, as there are
still in different portions of. the city nui
sauces which ought to be abolished. Our
city has been unusually healthy this
ummer, and for this are our people
!reatly indebted to the city health office.
The cholera which still exists in many
tiles is an epidemic, and prevails in
cool weather as well as during the
heated term" 1t will be wisdom for
our City Fathers not to be hasty in do
'ng away with the health office.

BROKE JAn.-A few nights since five
negroes, charged with grave offences,
escaped from the Berkeley county jail
at Martinsburg. Up to last accounts
the darkies were at large. We should
not be surprised to hear that they have
made a bold strike to catch up with
the caravan sent out by the "mean
white" Philadelphia Convention, as the
darkies of West Virginia are not any
too well satisfied that their representa-
tive in that funeral wake has refused to
go on the trip.

FIRE.-The alarm of fire about half
past seven o'clock on Saturday night
was occasioned by the burning of a
blacksmith shop in the rear Of Dillon,
Thompson n Co.'S plumbing shop, on
Market street. The shop was almost en-
tlrely destroyed, together with its con-
tents. For q time it was feared the
flames would spread to the First Presby~
terrain Church and other buildings in the
neighborhood, but the tiremen soon ex-
tinguished the fire and relieved the
anxious crowd from suspense. Had the
hire broke out later in the night, the de-
strucnon OF property would undoubtedly
