Panic is to pestilenc what gale is to
conhagratiou. It spreads and intensifes
the evil. Since the cholera started from
Turkey in Asia on its western march,
bastard fear has been its most potent ally
there has been most mortality, from
set Of the disease had everywhere been
met with resolution aud sustained with
fOrtitude, its ravages would have been far
less deadly.
There are TWO ways in which panic
tends to fatal consequences during the
prevalence of epidemics. In the first
place, 1T embraces and partially devital-
ICES the animal system, thus depriving it
Of the power to resist the action of at
mospheric poisons and in the next place,
il renders its victims forgetful of the pre-
cautions which the self possessed and
thoughtful adopt as a means of ayerting
danger.
Cholera patients who have the wisdom
to assume a horizontal position at the
first twinge of the disease, and to lie
perfectly still in bed for two days, in Eve
cases out Of seven escape the worst phase
of the disease and are well within a week
or ten days from the date of the attack
1t is by no means certain that the seoUrge
will reach our town, but it is quite certain
that if it should come, the measure of its
virulence and the period of its duration
will depend, under Providence, to con-
siderable extent upon ourselves. Those
who live a sober, cleanly and moral life
will have least cause for fear and those
who fear least viii be in the least peril.

HOW GOAL WAS DISCOVERED IN PENNSYLVANIA.

A writer in the New York Observer
asserts that Col. George Shoemaker, a
gentleman of Teutonio origin, was the
discoverer of Pennsylvania coal. He
lived on the Sehuylkill, and owned ex

a Iimekiln he used some of the black
stones that were lying about the place

1872. Shortly after mine host loaded
Pennsylvania team with the black stones,

foreseen difficulties were presented. The

PETRnLEum As FuEL.

There is good news for those interested
ia petroleum. A series of official exper-
iments have been for some time in pro
gress at Woolwich, England, and the re-
suits have been Of the most gratifying
character. The object of these expert
ments was to test the capacity of petrol
cum as a substitute for coal in the pro-
duction of steam One grand conclusion
arrived at is that by the use of the oil an
engine of one hundred horse power be-
comes exalted into one Of 140 or $50, the
gain being from 40 to so per cent. It has
also been satisfactorily determined that
the oil may be carried to sea in tanks, and
be incapable ofignition, even though a red
hot cannon-ball went through the mass.
The furnace required for the use of oil
would be very SMALL so that large
amount of storage room would be saved.
The reports states that the first great ma
val power that adopts petroleum, will
have an immediate advantage over all
other nations, and the latter will be COM
PEELED to accept the invention, however de-
termined at first to deny its value.-RWraL

that they might otherwise enjoy You
poor people that sit quietly by your own

their neighbors, and do something that
nobody else can.

BBRRlBLE BARBARlTlEs.

The last China mail is full Of accounts
of cruelties practiced on criminals at
Amoy- some of which are almost too re-
vching for belief A letter thus speaks
of one of the most recent of these out
RACES which was probably no more bru-
tal than others constantly occurring
: < The Hai-Hong wrote down
their names and ordered them to be
hogged-the rebel 300, and the other cul-
prit zoo blows with the bamboo. The
rebel having received his 300 blows, and
borne them without d murmer, was taken
to a cross that had been erected for that
purpose, and being securely lashed to it.,
in an upright posture, with his arms eX-
tended, the eXeeutIOner commenced ms
horrible butchery by first cutting OF the
flesh above the eyes, next the ears, and
then the breasts then he cut through
the muscles Of each arm, laying the sill
very white bone bare, and the flesh not
being cut of, but left hanging the blood
spirting out and actually bespatterlng the
executioner at each pulsation of the heart!
Then the muscles of the thighs were cut
in the same manner After the execu-
toner had performed these tortures upon
the Door wretch, he laid his small knife
aside and took another. about ten inches
long and about an inch broad, and cut
gashes on each side of the mans chest
laying the ribs bare. Then he made sew
eral hourishes with the knife, and then
ran it through the poor victim body,
entering just below the steTnum, In the
middle of the chest, to the full extent OF
the blade This [ thought would prove
the coup de grace But no, for the man
still breathed, and the executioner still
continued his bloody task, cutting down
ward with his knife and letting out the
eutrails He then slashed and cut open
the stomach Then giving a yell, ran his
hand in and seized the mans liver, and
cut it out, passing the bleeding, qulverlng
mass to his assistant as cody, and IN as
business like a manner as though he were
ished the torture, and the executloner
left the victim in this mutilated state not
yet dead, for [ saw him give several gasps
for breath afterwards. He then cut the
sapmans head off, at the foot Of the cross,
with a single blow, and then returned,
and letting loose the rebels head which
fell forward, he decapitated him, certain
ly the most merciful stroke he had given
that day The bodies were exposed on
the same wharf, with their legs tied to
posts, for FIVE days atterWard, to the
great annoyance of the Europeans, who
occupied the houses adjacent. The poor
rebel bore his inhuman tortures most
manfully not a moan or cry escaped him,
during ali the time. The only movement
he made was a slight quivering OF his
! whole frame, and the movement of his
! head to and fro otherwise a spectator
might have questioned whether he were
alive or dead, during the horrible exhl-
bition. sz.

Slight irritation of the throat may be
relieved hy slipping little slippery elnt
tea, or by sucking piece Of gum arabic
These rticles coat over the mueas mem
brane and prevent the irritation Of the
air. A very few drops of paragoric heid
in the mouth, and allowed to trickle down
the threat, will allay coughing. The best
cough medicine for children, one of which
have used for several years with entire
satisfaction, is the following: Mix in a
phial equal parts of paregoric, castor oil
and syrup of ipccac. Always shake well
just before using. A few drops Of this
swallowed, and not washed down by water
or other fluid, win almost always sooth a
cough. Repeat the dose as often as the
cough returns. From one-fOurth to one
half teaspoonful may be given when a
lesser quantity does not suffice. A large
dose after full meal may produce a little
nausea. Children who are subject to
coughs should eat very little supper, and.
indeed, all children should eat much less
and simpler food at night than at morning
or noon. The above mixture may be
kept on hand ready prepared, as it does
not deteriorate if kept corked. 1t may
interest those afraid Of mineral medicines,
(though they partake freely Of common
salt, which is a mineral), to know that
the ingredients are all egetable.-HaLFs

DELAWARE, OHIO, FRIDAY, NAY 4, 1856.


Two little pairs of boots, tonight,
Before the fire are drying;
Two little pairs of Uired feet
In a trundIe bed are lying.
The tracks they left upon the floor
Make me feel much like signing!
Those little boots with copper toesl
They run the liveIong day;
And oftmes almost wish
That they were miles away;
So tired am to hear so oft
Their heavy tramp at play.
They walk about the new p1owed ground
Where mud in plenty lies:
They roll it up in marbles round,
They bake it into pies,
And then at night upon the floor
In eUery shape it dries!
To-day I was disposed to seoId;
But when look, tonight,
At those little boots before the fire
With copper toes SO bright,
And think how sad my heart would be
To put them out of sight.
For in a trunk up stairs I've laid
Two socks of white and blue;
If called to put those boots away,
o God what should do?
I mourn that there are not tonight.
Three pairs instead of tsCo.
[ mourn because thought how nice
Ny neighbor cross the way
Could keep her carpets all the year
From getting worn or gray
Yet well know she'd smile to own
Some little boots to-dayI
We mothers weary get and worn
Over our load Of care;
But how we speak to those little ones
Let each of US beware,
For what would our firesides be tonight,
If no little boots We're there!
