A Cure FOR A CANoER.-A writer in the
Philadelphia Evening journal, claims to
have an infallible cure for cancer. The
recipe is: The juice of the sheep sorrel
pressed, and exposed, on pewter plate in
the Gun, until somewhat jellied. Apply it
on the skin over and around the cancer,
the application to be continued until the
cancer and its roots loosen and drop out,
which will be in the course Of three or four
days. The Ingredients Of which the rev :
ter is composed, is simply com bining with
the acid of the plant, are believed to be
important in the compound. The leaves
of the sheep sorrel are, what botanists call
sagittate, and which resem bles in shape the
head of an arrow. The writer also states
that he cured his corns by an application
of the leaves Of the sheep sorrel to them,
which in few hours softened them so
much that they could be peeled off and
cure effected.

manufacturing experiment. A gentleman
of capital, we'll known to our citizens for
his generosity and public spirit, has
bought one Of the lower plantations within
short distance of Baton Rouge, on which,
we learn, he intends erecting cotton fac
tory, in company with number of enter
prising English capitalists. 1t should be,
as we believe It is, one Of the leading de-
sires Of our community to witness the en-
listment of capital, industry and energy,
whether home or foreign, in the further
ance Of all enterprises of this nature.

AFFAIRS AT MATAMoRAs.-Col. J. B.
Sweet, of San Antonio, direct from Mata
moras, tells the Houston Telegraph the
following
The Imperial forces under Mejia, shortly
before his depar ture, encountered the bri-
gands under Cortinas, near Matamoras,
and completely routed them capturing
some two hundred; the most Of whom
were executed. Cortina, himself, succeeded
as usual, in making his escape.
He represents business to be extremely
dull in Matamoras. DR. Ganabl, formerly
medical director On the. staff Of Gen.
Slaughter, is in that city, enjoying o large
and profitable practice of his profession.
The city is we'll filled with Americans,
which the Colonel represents to be as much
of an American city as San Antonio,

ton Of his recent action in connection with
