through the ebay St season.
He swung the scythe some, every
day, and did quite good business

The October gale, took some of the
shingles from the roof of his barn The
old gentleman with good spirit went
on the roof, and undertook to replace
all the shingles himself, but found it to
be quite job, and finally concluded to
get some help from his ounger neigh

We have but few such smart old men
in thi, section of the State. Mr.. Z. cuts
his fire wood at the door, and engages
in doing different kind, of work.

SCARLET FEvER.-An eminent p nysician
of Boston robs scarlet fever Of many of its
terrors, by prescribing for the patient warm
lemonade, with a little mucllage as often
as desired. and the application Of warmth
to the stomach. He directs that q sheet
should be wrong out ofhot water and laid
on the stomach. renewing it as often as it
cools. Nothing else but the lemonade is
to be given. With this treatment, he
guarantees that not one in hundred cases
will prove fatal. We have known cider
alone to cure more than one obstinate
case. A vegetable acid appears to be the
specific. Enough salt in children's victuals
may also be said to be a prophylaris for
eruptive fevers.
