A REMEDY for the Small Pox and Scarlet
Fever is given 10 II California paper with such
an air of confident authority, that we are led
TO acccde TO the request OF friend to give II
place in the Telegraph, in view Of the fact that
a case of Small Pox made its appearance last
week. in an itnerant person while stopping at
the house of our friend ED. LOCKWOOD, on
North Ridge, a mile or two eas' of tue village.
The recipe is as follows Sulphate of Zinc, one
grain-Foxglove, one grain-half teaspoon
of sugar, mixel with table spoon of wSter,
and when thoroughly mixed add four ounces
of water. Dose-a teaspoorfull each hour.
WE have before and now again called atten-
ton TO the new system of Life Insurance
adopted by the National Life, of Chicago.
Judging from the amount of business being
done by the Company and the readiness with
which the plan is received by our people who
have long felt the need of a cheaper and less
| complicated system of life insurance, here
| is something of more than ordinary merit and
| worth in it. 1t must not be forgotten that the
Company has capital of $3.50, 900, with $780,
900 deposited with The State Treasurer, for the
protection of policy holders, thus adding the
most perfect security to the distinguishing
feature of low rates.
| THE OLD FOLKS CONCERT. which was re-
peated on Tuesday evening last at Ashtabula
Hall,for the benefit of the choir of the Pres.
byteriap church, was not so fully attended as
could have been desired. The cold, disagree
able storm of the day, pretty much prevented
any tornout in tile evening, from outside OF
village limits. The performance, however,
was very meritorious. The performers, who
were numerous, were arrayed in all sorts of
costumes, modern rs well as ancient, and anu
sing in the sustaining and representation ofthe
varied characters assumed. Among the num-
Der were our best musical talent Mr.. TINKER,
| the choristeT, of course, is at the head of his
profession as tenor Mr. MANSFIELD as bass
is admitted to have no equal in this region, al
least and they were well prepared to sustain
those parts. AS contraltos, Mrs TERRIL and
Miss ANNA HUBERT, take front rank posi-
tion and in the line of soipanos, Ashtabula
can boast of as many superior voices, probably
any place, and Mrs. HARMON and Mrs. SHOE
CRAFT, are hardly to be surpassed, while Miss
LIBBIE ANDERSON and Mrs. SHELDON are a.
bOve mediocre. As instrumental performers,
Miss HUBERT and Mrs. ANDERSON acqut
themselves with considerable skill. Of course,
with such an array Of talent, the entertainment
would naturally be supposed to have some
character. The old style hymns and anthems,
though well enough in their way, were not
the features of the occasion. The songs. du-
cites and quartcttcs, were received with the
greatest satisfaction. The Scotch song by
Mrs. HARMON, with the flute accompaniment
by Mr.. WAITE, was the popular performance
of the evening, and this was shown in the call
by the audience for repetition. The Quar-
tctte- M0rtgdging the Fdrm--by Messrs. TIN
KER and MANSFIELD, and Mrs. HARMON and
Miss HUBERT, was not only fine in execution,
but the sentiment found a response in every
heart. Miss HULBERT's Italian song, in tho
real operate style, would, we think, be consid-
ed by connoisseurs, as the gem of the evening.
! In execution, it was n superior performance
Other pieces and performance were worthy OF
note, but our limits will not admit Of further
determinations, except TO notice the Marseiiles
Hymn, by the whole company. This was adj
mittcd TO have been very finely rendered, and
The bass and tenor drum accompaniment, had
good effect. The programme had been well
and considerably prepared, and in the carry
ing out, there was shown good taste and abili-
ty, even TO Aunt Nabby's personations and
drollcry.
JOHN WENTwoRTH.-A Among the excellent
traits of character for which Mr.. Wentworth
is enyiably notorious, large hearted benevo-
lence may be esteemed one of the best As We
are glad to say that it is not a virtue of his
maturer years alone, but that it has grown
with his growth, and strengthened with his
strength. In proof of this let us cite the reply
