Cure For Snake Bite.

Professor Halford, of the University of
Melbourne, Australia, may be remember
ed by some as the enthusiastic introducer
of cure for poisonous snake bites, and
who allowed himself to be bitten by a
snake and nearly lost his life by the fail
ure of his darlingnostrum to counteract the
effects. Notwithstanding the ridicule to
which his devotion to science subjected
him on that OCCASION he has persevered in
his efforts, and an undoubted success has
at length rewarded him. He found an
antidote for snake poison which has prov
ed successful in the most critical cases.
1t is simply liquid ammonia injected into
the veins. A small syringe with sharp
point for the purpose of making an injec-
tion is manufactured and sold at Mel
bourne, and now few travel in the coun-
try without one.

S6s- On the 10th inst, Francis Mills,
engineer in the Brooklyn Eagle Office,
attempted to kill his wife by stabbing her
in the heart with knife. Mills mur-
dered his first wife three years ago, and
was sent to the State Prison, for man.
slaughter, for term of three years. He
was pardoned out six months after he had
entered Sing Sing, and some time ago
married his present wife, who it is strange
to say, had lived with his family, and
was one of the witnesses against him at
the trial for the murder of the first wife.
Mrs. Mills wound is considered dan
gerous.

AMONG the applicants for Office under
Gov. Geary is one Gabriel B. Eldred,
who, regardless of all decency and human
ity, asks for the promise of the prothon-
atoryship of the county, as the present
incumbent is sick and he expects him to
die.
This is certainly taking time by the
forelock, and should entitle the applicant
to the first vacancy, where brass and impu-
dence are the main requisites.

Killer for gargle with small doses inwardly. l
did so and found the gargle invariably cut off the
vescices and he raised them up often covered with
blood He was taken on Sunday: on Wednesday
his throat was clear and his tongue rapidly clearing
off. also used it liniment with castor oil and

A LARGE number of petitions for the
abolition of the franking privilege are
daily presented tothe U. S. Senate
Senator Sherman, few days since, rath-
er sneeringly remarked that the majori-
ty of the petitioners were post-masters.
This seems to us rather strong proof of
the necessity of having this privilege abol-
ished, for no class of men have more op-
portunity of seeing how large an amount
of mail matter passes free.

A RESOLUTION has passed the House of

A RESOLUTION has passed the House of
Representatives at Washington declaring
the true meaning of the revenue law
to be that the income tax should con-
tinue and be payable during the year
1870. 1t may be, that was the intention,
at the time it was passed, but the condi-
ton of the country has changed, and
now the people believe it is time to dis
continue a law which was passed only as
measure rendered necessary by the war.
This is the feeling of everybody except a
few Office holders, who will be affected by
its discontinuance.

Pennsylvania who is on trip to the
South.-ED,
For The Bloomfield Times.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Jan. 1, 1870.
Mr.. Editor When the cold December
winds began to blow, / fastened to pack
my carpet-bag, with fixed determination
to go to the country where perpetual sum-
mer reigns, where cold is a stranger and
freezing is unknown. Having once made
up my mind to leave my northern home,
my energies were next directed to what
particular locality had better direct my
steps, and finally what route l would take
to reach my destination would l go by
land or water? Upon choosing the latter, |
further concluded that would ship from
Philadelphia, me being a Pennsylvania,
my State pride would not permit me to
start from any other point. But alas State
pride like every other kind of pride must
be humbled. | soon learned, to my regret
and disgust, that the steamship on which l
had taken passage (although one of the
best Philadelphia can boast Of was no
match for New York craft. During the
four days that we were on our voyage hith-
er, we were continually being passed by
New York vessels, whilst we were tum-
bling about like tub in squall on a mill
pond. They ran by as defiant as though
they'd "never mind the weather." l no
longer wonder that Philadelphia does not
move forward and keep pace with other
cities even of less magnitude and smaller
pretentions than she. A mean, stingy,
naTow-minded system in everything she
attempts to do has so long been practiced by
her leading men, that there seems nothing
left her in the future, except to follow in
the wake of some more liberal-minded sis
ter. Even sensible Philadelphians prefer
going to New York to take ship, when they
purpose taking trip of few days dura-
tion rather than be tumbled about week
in an old tub that is neither safe nor COM
Portable. AS do not wish to cucumber
your columns with too lengthy coummu-
nication, will defer saying anything about
this city (Charleston) until my next.

How Many9

There is nothing lost by having several
suits Of clothes at once. 1t gives a
pleasant variety in dress, makes the
clothing last longer by not being sub
jected to constant use, and can be adapted
to the changes of weather, so as to be a
protection to our health. Try this plan
and you will prove the advantage of it,
You know, by the way that at Oak Hall
you can get two or three suits for the
money some men pay for but one.

proposition to this government: That Prus-

opposition from the United States, this gov

Its Prospects and Strength.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26--There are ru-
mOrs that Henry T. Blow, of st. Louis, has
been rendered the mission to England, and
that he is now en- rmte home from Brazil, to
accept it. .l
A good many Senators and Members have
arrived here, and are engaged in procuring
quarters. The expression among them is
quite general against the formation of a new
or third party. But it is equally general
among the Western members, Republicans and
Democrats, especially in favor of a tariff re-
form and for the organization of the next
House on that basis. The Revenue Repub-
licans say they will show their strength in
the present House, by uniting with the Dem
Ocrats to prevent repeal of the law conven-
ing the next Congress on March 4th. While
there will be no absolute political coalition
it is pretty evident, Judging from the general
talk of the liberal Republicans, that menu
bers of the two parties will be found voting
together in the coming session.
The President has ordered the lands ceded
to the Creeks and Seminoles, and the Chero-
kee country west of the ninety -sixth degree
Of longitude, to be surveyed with view of
designating to each Indian his legitimate
tract of land, on which he may establish a
home. 1t is believed that this will encOur-
age agriculture and mechanics among them.
