Cure for Cancer.

An old citizen of this county, o
farmer, sent us the following reel.
pc, which he says is good at any
rate, there is nothing in it that
can injure, and it won't hurt to
try it:
Take a double-handful of Red
Sorrel, generally known as sheep
sorrel,) beat it to Q pulp, then
squeeze the juice from the weed
into q pewter plate, or basin, put
it in the Sun and let it remain un-
til it forms q cake ; then take
strong apple vinegar and dip into
the plate until it comes to a liquid
state apply either with q brush
or a cloth saturated with the fluid
until the ulcer falls from the flesh,
which will be soon.
If this remedy is efficient let it
go to the suffering, it is simple
and easily tried.-AdrShaH Ga
zette.
A gentleman of the highest re-
spectability informs us that be has
known the foregoing remedy for
cancer to be tried in four instan-
ces, with the happiest permanent
effect Fayetteville Observer.

HoT SLAw.-Cut the cabbage
in half, and shave it very finely.
Put it into a stewpan with a
piece of butter, and salt to the
taste. Pour in just enough wa
ter to prevent it from sticking
to the pan. Cover it closely,
and let it stew. Stir it frequent
ly, and when it is quite tender,
add little vinegar, and serve hot.

To PICKLE 0NIoNs.-Take some
nice onions and throw them into a
tea-kettle boiler half full of boil
ing water, and let them remain
ten minutes. Then take them
out quickly and lay them between
two cloths to dry; boil some vim
egar with the ginger and whole
pepper, and when cold, pour it
over the onions in glass jars, and
tie them closely over.

are substantial, there can be no doubt about
mat, and 1t Is 70 be hoped that the Rev DR.
sIll get enough of them to speedily set about
al good work of improving defective cor

must bring the united prayers Of ali his
FIFTY dollar subscribers to bear upon the

aud Georgetown Railroad Company. The
faith that removes mountains may perhaps be
able to level Riker's Ridge. We want him to
get after the parties who have been dumping
rubbish on South q street, and we invoke al
his thunders upon the guilty heads of Street

commissioners generally. They seem TO think
that because the corporation machine goes out

schools is making Roadway in various parts OF
the country, and IN Washington quite decided
BY. The trustees OF our public schools have
discouraged its use until it figures much less
1Onspicuously in the reports of the teachers
than formerly. In the Board OF Aldermen last
night, Mr.. Champion, fIom the committee on
public schools, reported fsvorsbly on the
bill introduced by Mr.. Connolly, which
prohibits the punishment of pupils in the
pubic schools, whether by the application
OF blows, or by a constrained position of
the person, or by pTOtrscted standing, or by
cOerced exposure Of any pupil 10 heat or

ton Of any reasonable natural desire or by
detention in the schOol-hOuse after the dis
rlIssal or intermission OF the school, or by the
requirement Of excessive study, or in any other
manner.
This, IL will be seen. embraces various modes
