is used TO great extent ~ a specific for
diarrhpl. A pint every four hours will
chosk the most violeit diarrhoel, stomach
ache, insiplcnt cholera aud dysentery.
The milk should never be boiled, but
only heated sufficiently to be agreeably
warm, not too hot 10 drink. MIX which
has been boiled is unfit for use.
This writer gives several instances TO
show the value Of this simple substance in
arresting this disease, among which is the
following. The wriler says: II has never
failed in curing in six 10 twelve hours, and
have tried 1t, / should think fifty times.
/ have also given II TO dying man who
had been subject TO dysentery eight
months, latterly accompanied Ivy one con-
tinuod diarrhea, and it acted on him like
a charm. In two days his diarrhel was
gone, in three weeks lie became hale, fat
man, and now nothing that may hereafter
occur will ever shake his faith in hot milk"
A writer also communicates TO the Medical
Times and Gazette, a statement of the val
ne of milk in twenty.sx cases of typhoid
fever, in every one of which It's great value
was apparent. 1t checks diarrhel, and
nourishes and cools the body.
People suffering from disease require
food quite as much as those in health and
much more so in certain diseases where
there is rapid waste of the system. Ere
quently all ordinary food in certain diseas-
es is rejected by the stomach, and even
loathed by the patient; bat nature, ever
benefcent, has furnished food that in all
cases is beneficial-in some directly cura-
tive. Such food is milk. The writer in
the journal last quoted, DIR. Alexander
Yale, after observations upon the points
above mentioned, viz: its action in check
ing diarrhpa, its nourishing properties,
and its action in cooling the body, says:
1--WE believe that milk nourishes in fever,
promotes sleep, wards of dilrium, soothes
the intestines, and in fine is the sine qua
non in typhoid fever" We have also test
ed the value of milk in scarlet fever, and
learn that it is now recommended by the
medical faculty in all cases of this often
very distressing chldren's disease. Give
all the milk the patient will take, even du-
ring the period of greatest fever; IL keeps
up the strength Of the patient, acts well up
on the stomach, aud is in every way bles-
sed thing in this sickness. Parents, re-
member it, and do not fear to give il if your
dear ones are afflicted with this disease.

In pursuance of an act of the last Congress,
what is virtually new department is to be
added 10 The Signal Service. The central
Office at Washington will be connected by
wires with all the lighthouses on our coast,
and the latter will be thus enabled TO sig
nal all vessels passing within sight of them,
of approaching storms. Heretofore the
signal service has been Of benefit only to
vessels about 10 leave port BY the new
plan this benefit will be shared bya large
part of our immense coasting and fishing
fleets, few Of which are long out of sight f
some of the many lighthouses along our
coast. On seeing the storm signals, flags
by day and lanterns by night, displayed
from their lofty towers, the threatened ves-
sells will have time either to put out to sea
or seek refuge in some port. The new de-
partment will be in full operation before
the advent of the autumn storms.

the transfer Of authority from the old re-

further stated that while great complaint

MURDER AT WALDEN, VINO state In
the Union has been so free from the ravag-
es of the present epidemic of crime' as
Vermont, but her long immunity from
murder was broken on Saturday by de-
liberate killing in the little farming town
tim was John Stanton, German peddler,
who stopped on Saturday afternoon at the
house of James Snow and asked the latters
wife If she wished TO purchase any goods.
Mrs. Snow replied that she had no money,
when the peddler sad, "Guess you have
money, as farmers generally have plenty
or it," This remark reused Il ire of Mr..
Snow, who had been sitting in the room in
a drunken state, and he ordered the ped
dler to leave. Stanton complied, saying
as he did so, "Gucss you will not hurt any
body" The remark, or the manner of
making 1t, excited the drunken farmer, and
saying, az will show whether / will or
not" he took his gun, small fowling
piece, and, taking deliberate aim, shot Stan
ton just as he had mounted his wagon and
started his team out into tho highway.
Stanton fell dead on hiu seat, when Snow
went to the wagon and pulled the body on
to the ground, after which he sent his wife
to tell the neighbors what he had done.
Examination showed that over forty shot
had penetrated the mans head. The MUIR
derer was at once arrested, aud taken to
st. Johnsbury for examination.

Sir:-I see by the papers that the Uni

presume there will be no association I'M

hope you will correct the error so that
others may not get fooled as we did.
