Ice ma a Cure for D,phtherta.

Since that dreadful disease, diphthegia, has
made such fearful ravages in New York, and Is,

Oneida community, which thus explains nov

Recognizing as we do the spiritual nature Of
disease as well as its physical characteristics,
our first efforts were to arouse the spirit OF the
patient By means of criticism to resist the pow
or and leaden influence Of disease, which en-
veloped him like cloud, SIMPLIFYING and beioS-
ring every mental faculty and effort OF the viii
to repel the intruder. The inyariable effect OF
criticism was to stir up the patient in mind and
heart to make stout defence aga INST the attack,
TO resist the influence Of the disease with might
and main. and to throw him into Il sweat thus
at once relieving the fever.
The next thing was to prepare quantity OF
ice broken into small bits, which could he easily

| til every vestige Of the canker had disappeared
and the inflammation had subsidized. During the

help themselves to the ice if supply

were required to give the necessary lump o
ice every ten minutes the snurse attending t
several patients. This course Of treatment wa
faithfully followed as long as there were an.
traces OF the disease about, and although VI

aud many OF them very severe, we loht not

OF course the application Of criticism woni

The efficacy of the ice treatment lies IN its b.

beyond the Revolutionary times. He promises
to bring his history down to the consolidation

life and strength is spared, he Will have fur

THE WINTER OUTLOOK ORGANIZED CHAR
TABLE EFFORT.

The time has arrived when the subject OF |
charitable effort in this city, fer the season now
at hand, must be considered. The protracted
period of genial weather which we have enjoyed
is reasonably certain not to continue much
longer, and both because the Autumn has been
80 moderate, and because last Winter was an
exceptionally mid one, we are forced to admit
the likelihood that this Winter will be at least
Of average severity, and possibly one vigorously
cold and stormy. At the outset, then, before
the SHOWS and tempests are here, it is
well to consider what shall be done for the
systematic relief of those who really need help.
Fortunately, the crops have been good, the price
o. breadstuffs is low and if business has been dull
and manufacturing slack there is an ample
reserve of wealth in the country to feed, clothe
and warm, during the four months OF cold
weather, all who are really unable, through lack
of employment sickness, OF misfortune, to pro-
vide clothing, food. and fuel for themselves.
There is plenty in the land, and the Christian
spirit of the people will let no deserving person
suffer.
The best way to make charitable effort is tc
do it systematically. Such organizations as
the Female BENEVOLENT Society of which We
spoke the other day, and the larger and mor'
general Aid Society which was organized has
Winter, can do their work with better Judgment
more economy, and more thoroughness, thai
any possible efforts of private charity. We pre-
sumo, therefore, that the general disposition
will be to re-organize the Society of last yeal

nri,ish IRON ana Wages.

The tendency Of prices in the English iron
trade, as with US, is still downward, but there
the reductions that are going on are attended by
a slight revival of business, while here stagna-
ton continues to rule. At the quarterly meet
ings just held in Birmingham and Wolyerhamp-
ton, the manufacturers determined to bring
down prices of finished iron 81 ton, or from
seven to eight per cent, and the pig iron
makers have followed the lead Of the mer-
chant-bar men. These changes were rem
dered inevitable by the recent important reduc-
tons IN the price Of coal and in wages, and
it il generally believed that tho lowest point is
not vet touched. Thus far the fall since Octo-
Der OF last year has been twenty-one per cent in
pig iron, twenty. eight per cent IN coal, and TWEEN
" per cent III iron workers aud miners wages.
| In America the decline has been much greater
in iron, aud about the same III wages, while coal
| though lower, las not fallen relatively as much,
owing to the manipulatlons OF our 'commna'
| TONS.
In Sheifi.ld the principal topic of interest con
tiuues to be the inability OF the manufacturers &
| compete successfully with Americans in the pro
duction of the cheaper class of goods. The cut
lery trade with this country was never known Il
be duller. As a contribution To the cause
and remedy for this state of things, thl
