BOSTON, Dec. 10, 1862
I Gentlemen-My only object in giving you this tes-
timony is to spread valuable information. Having
been badly afflicted with Salt Rbeum, and the whole
surface ofmy skin being covered with pmples and
eruptiops, many of which 4aused me great pain and
annoyance, and knowing it to be blood disease,
took many of the advertised blood preparations
among which was any quantity of Sarsaparila with
out obtaining any benefit until commenced taking
the yEGErINE, and before had completed the , first
bottle saw that had got the right medicine. Con-
sequently, followed on with it until had taken
seven bottles when was pronounced well man, and
my skin is smooth and entirely free from Pmples and
eruptons. have never enjoyed good health before
and attribute it all to the nse of VEGETINE. To
benefit those afflicted with Rheumatism, will make
mention also of the VEGETINE's wonderful power of
curing me of this acute complaint, of which L have

AT last she completely cured him. For
months she had patiently endured the
pangs so many thousands Of Young
wives are compelled to suffer. Almost
every morning at breakfast the heartless
husband expressed the hope that he
might live to see the day when he should
get such coffee as he used to have at
home. Or such corn bread as his
mother was wont to make and bake. Al
dinner the meat was overbaked in the
range. To be sure his mother used TO
roast the meat in an old-fashioned Dutch
oven, and the piece was always done TO
a turn-the last turn of the revolving
spit. Those days were forever gone.
But he might and ought to get such a
green apple pie with new cheese as his
mother used to give him. At last the
long suffering wife arose in her wrath,
upset the tables, sending the dishes and
their contents crashing to the CARPET,
strided over to her astonished husband,
gave him q box on the ear which
knocked him OFF his chair, and remarked,
There is a clip over the head for you,

A Crocodile story.

We had some conversation, the other
day, with one of the very few survivors
of the Egyptian expedition under Sir
Ralph Abercrombie, who has lived to
Obtain the Egyptian medal, fifty years
after it was earned. When the brigade
under Sir David Bard was marching up
the eastern bank Of the Nile, toward
Cairo, a number OF ~stragglers fell be-
hind, unable from fatigue to keep up
with the main body. A rear guard was
consequently detached to protect the
stragglers and keep them together. One
Of them, a Highlander, however, became
so exhausted that his comrades were
obliged to leave him to his fate. He had
not been long alone when be saw a large
crocodile waddling towards him, with a
very p%ortentous aspect. Poor Donald
eyed the monster as it approached him
with feelings Of intense alarm, and,
although almost unable to walk, he
mustered up his little remaining strength,
and abided the onslaught Of the enemy.
AS the unwielding brute was Slowing
himself round TO seize him, Donald
dexterously got sstride on his back, and
kept his seat. He at once drew forth his
bayonet (for he had parted with his
musket), and every time the animal
turned round his head to bite him, he
pricked it severely behind its fore leg,
or wherever else he could make the steel
penetrate. Bow long this singular con-
test continued, Donald could not tell,
but he thought it an age,

The Killing OfJas. HI. McNeiu,-The
Assassin Arrested and Committed
without Bail.

"AaaCae D0lis
Latest advices from the relatives Of
the deceased, james II. Mcneil, of Scan
lan's Landing, relative to his assassina-
ton on Friday morning last, disclose
the following particulars:
Major Mcneil was nearly blind, and
had been IN the habit of riding out on
his plantation every morning. He was
riding out as usual and was met at the
bridge over the bayou, near the mill, and
shot dead by a concealed assassin.
Several negroes who were working near
by heard the shot, and saw a negro
named Aleck Stephenson riding off rap
idly on a mule, the mare of Major Nc
Neill following. The mare was caught,
aud then the track Of the fugitive was
followed, until it was clearly aseertained
that Aleek Stephenson was the murderer.
He was arrested and committed by a
magistrate without bail. He was iden-
tilted by the negroes who were working
near the bridge at the time of the kill
ing. 1t is believed that a white man was
cognizant of the deed, as he had made
threats to kill Major Mcneil some few
days before. No other arrests have been
made as yet, however, but such a result
is among the probabilities.

At a recent meeting of the Royal So
ciety of Edinburg a paper was read on
the causes Of the progress of storms. In
the writer's opinion a consideration Of
all the facts indicated that storms begin
five or six miles up, the advance of the
lower part Of the air-current being re.
tarded by friction with the earth's sur
face. One effect Of this more rapid
movement of the upper air than of the
lower is a fall of the barometer. In the
southern part of a storm the air is
moister and warmer, and has a tendency
to ascend, so that over the space where
there are low barometers the cirrus
clouds indicate an ascending current.
In the rear of the storm again the air is
colder and drier, and therefore, more
dense, and it has been proved that in
this part there is a descending current.
When a b -ometric pressure is produced
the winds flow in spirally toward the cen
ter; but they do not do so equally or
uniformly. In front they flow with diff
Guilty, being retarded by friction, while
in the rear they are less influenced by
that cause. In these circumstances the
low central barometer cannot remain
stationary, but will move forward in that
direction in which the supply is most
scarce and thus procure the necessary
supply, which it would not have received
if it had remained stationary. 1t is in
this way that the progress of storms
takes place.
