II. a broken Neck Durable I

A Loudon letter in the Chicago Ev-
ening Journal has the following:
The old saying, that there is no cure
for a broken neck, has just been prac-
tically disproved by a surgeon at
Greenock. He was called to see a
young girl who had just fallen a dis
lance ofeighteen feet, and thoroughly
dislocated her neck. When he reached
her the face was nearly reversed, and
looking over the back. He promptly
supported the back with the left knee,
took a grasp of the head, and began to
pull gradually and pretty strong,
whereupon the girls eyes opened, and
there was an effort at breathing. In
creasing the pressure, the parts sud
denly came to their natural position
and afteraaa minute rOg two regular
breathing was established, Close at.
tentiop was .afterward paid to tho ease,
and after much fever and occasional
convulsioRssstho child recovered, and is
now as well as ever. I believe there is
not another similar case on record

Mode OF writing IN CeyIon.

The, books of the Cipgalese are form.
ed to-day, as they have been for ages
past, OF olas or strips taken from the
young leaves of the Talpat palm, cut
before they have acquired the dark
shade and strong texture which belong
to the full-grown frond.
After undergoing a process Zone
stage of which consists in stepping
them in milk to preserve their fexi-
bijty, they aref spbhitted to pressure
TO render their surface uniformly
smooth. They are then cut into strips
oftwo ore three inches in breadth, and
from one to three feet long. These are
pierced with two holes, n near each
end through which a cord is passed,
so as to secure them between two
wooden covers, lacquered and ornai
mented with colored devices. The
leaves thus strung together and secur
ed form a book.
On these palm-leaves the custom is
to write with an iron stile, held nearly
upright, and steadied by a nick cut to
receive it in the thumbnail of the left
hand. The stile is sometimes richly
ornamented, shaped like an arrow, and
inlaid with gold, oneblade Of the feath-
err serving as a knife to trim the leaf
preparatory to writing. y The ease is
sometimes made Of carved ivory bound
with hoops of fligreed silver.
The furrow made by the pressure of
the steel is rendered visible by theyap-
fplication of charcoal ground with a
fragrant oil, to the odor of which the
remarkable state of preservation in
which their most sacred books are
found, its aromatic properties securing
the leaves from destruction by white
and other insects.

DUTcH CURE FOR DRUNKENNrss.-
The following cure for drunkenness is
practiced in Hollands
The patient is shut up in a room,
and debarred all commgnication, ex-
eept with his physiciansS AS often as
he pleases, spirits-brandy, whisky,
gin, &c.-are given him but mixed
with two-thirds water an other drinks
such as beer coffee, wine, &c, aresmix;
ed with one-third brandy. The various
Yiands, too, thatare furnished him
bread. meat, &e.-are all prepared
with brandy; consequently the patient
is in e state of continual intoxieation.
This lasts about five days; at the end
of that time he asks with entreaty for
other nourishment, without his request
being complied with, and not until his
organs absolutely abhor alcohol, The
cure is complete, and from that period
the very smell Of spirits produces on
him the effect ofan emetic.

Profit. Of Blockade Running.

The London Mercantile Gazettee pub
fishes some remarkable statistics rela-
tive to the blockade running trade
which was carried on during the Ameri-
can war. Nassau, in the Bahamas, was
the chief port whence this trade was
carried on, and, in consequence, the inn
ports of that place rose from 23i, ,029 lbs.
in 1860 to 5,346, l12 lbs. sterling in 1854,
and the exports from 157 $50 lbs: to
4673, ,39s lbs s.lsterling-an increase that
must be without a parallel in the history
of commerce.. Cotton, of course, was
the chiefstaple of this trade, and figures
nearly four millions in imports and ex-
ports. During the war l64 ships con-
necfed with the blockade running trade
entered Nassau.
One hundred and two of these made
successful voyages, and the Lysen made
eighteen voyages, but by far the greater
number, seventy-four made not more
than two voyages. As the blockade
continued and the distress Of the South
increased, the value of the cargo became
enhanced, and, owing to the greater
vigilance of Federal cruisers, the ex-
pense ofthese expeditions was increased.
so toward the end of the war the captain
of blockade runner would be paid
1000 lbs. for one voyage, with the right
to carry ten bales of cotton ON his own
account. 71!t,a - F.rt

FATTENING SwINE.-Many farmers do
not commence fattening their swine till
October. This is not the, best system OF
hog management. Hogs that are to be
slaughtered nbont the FIRST Of Deconibor
or January should be wen fed, with
scrupulous regularity, three times every
day. 1t is not best to "stuff" fattening
swine in the former part of the season,
unless they have attained a desirable
size. Hogs should be kept growing
rather than to allow them to subsist
almost entirely on grass, till within two
of the time when they are to be
slaughtered, and then crowd them by
heavy feeding. The quantity of feed
should be increased from week to week,
as the animals will take largeramount.
Furthermore. it is infinitely better to
have all kinds Of grain ground quite
fine before il is fed ont. 1t is also an
excellent practice, when feeding fatten
ing swine, TO provide three vessels, each
one to contain about as much as is fed
at one time. Then let the meal be soft
ened by making in water about twenty
four hours before 10 is fed. A still bet
ter practice is to scald meal of all kinds
previous to feeding it.-Ne'c York Times.

Taylor County Election.

1t affords us pleasure TO congratulate
our Taylor county friends upon the splen-
did fight which they made at the recent
election. They have reason to be proud
of their success in making marked i'll
roads upon the enemy, and in electing a
tried and true Conservative to represent
them in the next Legislature. Among
the many trusty defenders of the cause
in Taylor, there is 10 man more deserv-
ing of success, or more capable of USE
fullness than REUBEN DAvIssoN. His
triumph is the more satisfactory in that
his opponents were especially bitter
and malignant. Himself and Captain
BURpErr were made the objects of the
most merciless and malicious attacks.
The latter gentleman has also received
flattering compliment from his friends
and neighbors. In hs own town, among
those who know him best, he leads his
antagonist nearly fifty votes, and in
the entire county he leads his OWL
ticket about forty. This is an emphatic
refutation of the indecent ISLANDERS upon
Captain BURDETT, so persistently re-
iterated, if not originated by the Intelli
