TREATMENT OF SMALL PoX.-Dr. w.
Field of Wilmington, Delaware: '.Hav-
ing much experience in the cure of
scarlet fever and small pox, of the
most malignant type, I would thank
you, for the sake of humanity, to publish
a recipe, which, if carefully and faith
fully carried out, will cure forty FIVE out
of Fifty cases without calling on physi-
c;an":
Scarlet Fever.-For adults, give one
tablespoonful of brewers yeast in three
tablespoonsful Of sweetencd water three
times q day, and if the throat is much
swollen, garSle with the yeast, and apply
to Il G throat as q pouitice mixed with
Indian meal. Use plenty Of catnip tea
to keep the eruption out on the skin a
few days.
Snail Pox.-Use Tie above dose Of
yeast three times a day, and take milk
diet through the entire disease Nearly
every such case can BE cured without
leaving pock mark.

OUTsPoKEN.-The Portland CONNER
cial, in late issue, "goes after" Judge
Strong alias "Skookum," a lawyer of
some notoriety living near Portland, for
attacking the business standing and
character of that paper in a recent.speech
before the U. S. District Court in the
case of the U. S. VS. Randall Says that
the substance of his remarks were as false
as his heart has ever been; compares him
to necessity, knowing no law; says that
his sobriquet, "Skookum,' is an Indian
word, applying equally well to carrion
and that more men have read the Com
nserciaz than ever heard "Skookum'
make sensible speech. The edito,
adopts the ancient rule of Heye for eye
and ''tooth for TOOTH" and says if thi:
kind of retaliation prove distasteful to op
ponents, "they may rest assured that We
aoiW auoid no consequences" And may
the best man win.

vision of loveiiness that meets the eye in
almost every drawing room. l never saw
during all my life before SO many fairy
forms, which it would have surprised me-
less to see shooting on wings and floating
up into the empyrean.

REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF PETRI-
FACTIoN.-About sixty years ago, Mr.
Amos Broughton died in Wayne county,
in this State, and was buried there.
After his death his widow and children
moved to Buskirk's Bridge in this
county, where they now reside A few
days, and the family of the deceased re-
solved to bring the remains of the father
from Wayne county and have them de-
posted in cemetery near their present
residence. In furtherance of this pur-
pose the grave was opened and the coffin
exposed, but all ordinary efforts to lift
it from its position proved Intellectual
The coffin lid was therefore removed,
when it was found that the body was in
the most perfect state of petrifaction. It
was covered with a dry mold, which.
when removed, revealed surface almost
as white and pure as marble. The body
showed not the least particle of decay.
Every feature and lineament was pefectly
preserved and when stood upright it pre-
sented the appearance of a finely chiseled
statue. When Mr.. Broughton died he
weighed about two hundred pounds,
while the remains had increased in weight
by petrifaction to eight hundred pounds.
Before the body was inferred at Buskirk' S
it was seen by the family friends and
many others there. It is the most per-
feet and wonderful instance of petrifaction
of human remains that has ever come to
our knowledge Troy NJ 70 Press.
