How TO CURE CANCER.-A Milwaukee
paper states that some eight months ago Mr..
Z. B. Mason, of that city, ascertained that
he had a. cancer on his face the size of pin.
tt was cut out by Dr. Wolcott. and the
wound partially healed. Subsequently it
grew again, and while he was at Cincinnati
on business, it attained the size of hickory
nut. He remained there since Christmas
under treatment, and is now perfectly cured.
The process is this: A piece of sticking
plaster was put over the cancer, with a circu-
lar piece cut out Of the centre a little larger
than the cancer, so that the cancer and a
small circular rim of the healthy skin next it
were exposed. Then plaster made of chic
ride of zinc, blood root and wheat flour, was
spread on piece of muslin the size of this
circular opening. and applied to the cancer
for twenty-four hours. On removing it, the
cancer will be found burnt into, and appear
of the color and hardness of an old shoe sole.
and the circular rim outside of it will appear
whiteland parpo:led. as if scalded by hot
steam. The wound is now dressed, and the
outside rim soon separates. and the career
comes out in hard lump, when the place
heals up. The plaster kills the cancer. SO
that it sloughs out like dead flesh, and never
grows in again. The remedy was discovered
by Dr. Fell Of London, and has been used by
him for six or eight years with unfailing
success, and not case has been known Of
the temperance of the cancer when this
remedy has been applied

Rattle for a Wife.

Amonc the relics of ancient barbarism,
,b;ch fingered up to comparatively recent
,or;od in por.iops of the extreme southwest
r., counties of England, was an absurd be-
lief entertained by the lowest and most igno-
rant class of the population that the union
hatween man and wife might be dissolved by
mutual consent, without tas the then only
remedy) an appeal to the House OF Lords
and bill of fl0,000 expenses. In order,
bovever. TO make the matter binding in the
eves of the besotted churls, certain ceremo-
MES were to be observed, which, in point Of
simplicity, completely distanced the rulings
of Sir Cresswell Cresswell and the new Di-
yorce Court, and were fully their equal as far
as decency was concerned. The last case OF
the sort. and of which the writer was a wit
ness, occurred some thirty odd years ago, on
a crowded market day. in large and popu-
lous seaport town, on the borders OF Devon
and Cornwall The husband, a stout, heavy
looking lout, from the neighborlng country,
issued from one of the market hostelries
shortly before noon, holding IN his hand
common rope halter, the other end forming
an extempore collar around the neck OF his
better half, a buxom and rosy checked wench
enough, who willingly followed his lead, ac-
conpaniej by gaping crowd. On reaching
an l0ciOSure ol pens Cdticu lhO piS h'"' NC,
the couple came to a halt, and the fellow
after stating the nature of the case-the
woman at the same time giving her consent
proceeded to offer her by auction to the
highest bidder. Either from a lack OF funds
among the competitors, or some other reason,
however, the highest sum offered was half a
crown, when, fortunately, a newlv paid of
man-of- wars man hove in sight, and, seeing
the state of affairs, calamity came to the as
sistance Of the fair. his offer of golden
'spade guinea" and pot of beer being
closed with at once, when the apparently
pleased trio marched off to felicitate each
other over foaming tankard of mild John
Barlevcorn. The matter was shortly AFTER
brought to the notice of the magistrates, and
steps were taken to arrest the parties but II
was too late. Effectual measures, however.
were organized for the prevention OF SINH
lar exhibition for the future.
What our readers will exclaim, can 1t be
possible that in enlightened England-in the
nineteenth c-ntury-such a scene could be
tolerated Lamentable, ridiculous and
shocking! No doubt; but what have we
here? Is it possible that in the city OF buf
falo, amid an enlightened and highly educa-
ted community, an instance of custom dIf

mentioned, as witness the following literal

the juveniles, We noticed our bachelor friend,
"hammering on" with the boys and enjoying
with cruel satisfaction, the modification
and disappointment of the young gamblers in
eggs when they were compelled to hand over
the lost eggs. Oh cruel and hearless Bendict!
About ten o'clock in the morning the boys
turned out in fantastic parade, a la cagelry,
which presented a very novel and grotesque
appearance Particularly, we noticed the ey-
er present carpet bag man. with the label up.
on his back ''ihunting a Clerkshlp", and the

scene was ludicrous and laughfable, except
