THE RELATIVE VALLEJO. Cameron,
a Dublin chemist, has been experimenting
on the milk of the SOW, and has shown
that it contains eighteen per cent. Of nu-
tritious matter, while human milk con-
tains but elOEen per cent. The relative
nutritive value of different kinds of milk
may thus be arranged in an increasing or

How 10 Cure Cancer.

A Milwaukee paper states that
some eight months ago Mr.. T. B.
Mason, Of that city, ascertained that
he had a cancer on his face the size
Of a pin. 1t was cut out by DIR.
Wolcott, and the wound partially
healed. Subsequently itgrewagain;
and while he was at Cincinnati on
business, 1t attained the size Of a
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 q circular piece cut out
Of the center a. little larger than the
cancer, 60 that the cancer and a small
rim Of the healthy skin next
to il were exposed. Then a plaster
made of chloride Of zinc, blood-root
and wheat -four wasspread on a piece
Of muslin the size OF this circular
opening, and applied to the cancer
or twenty-four hours. On relnOv-
ing It, the cancer will be found burnt

her half-brother, in fact though not

INTERESTING TO MAIL AGENTs.-Com-
plants having been made that certain post
Office employees upon the railroads were doing
a nice business for themselves at the expense

Postmaster General ordered the following to
be incorporated in the instructions: "Trafic
in merchandise, while on duty, for the personal
profit of railway post Office clerk, route agent,
or mail>route messenger, even though the
regular tariff rates of the railroad company
are paid thereon, is absolutely prohibited

selves while on the train strictly to the duties
imposed on Them by the Department"

ROBBED Daniel Goodyear, of Monroe
township, went to Iiarper's Ferry, Va, to buy
cattle last week, and was robbed of 81 .9OO.
I'VE copy the above from the Carlisle (Pa,)
Toh"tcer, and must say that we do not believe
a word of it. In the first place, Harper's
Ferry is no point for the cattle trade; and In
the second, we do not think there has been
$1,000 at Harpers Ferry, within the last Six
months, at any one time. Mr.. Goodyear may
have lost his money, but we doubt the story
of his losing it at Harper's Ferry, or any
where else in this county. Besides, if he had
lost it at The point mentioned, the probability
is that he would there have made some effort
to recover it. This, We are satisfied he did
not do, as no citizen of HarPcr's Ferry has
ever heard Of the matter.
