A cure for the arrest Of palpitation o (
the heart has jnst been given to the
world by a medical correspondent, on
account of witch we take from the Med
ical Times of London. AS great ma
ny persons are subject to this disease, it
would be well for them to take note of
what the correspondent advises. "Pal-
pitation when not depending upon
organic disease, may be almost immed-
lately arrested by bending tts head
downwards, and allowing the arms to
hang pendent" The correspondent furth
er adds that "the effect is even still more
rapidly produced by holding the breath
for a few seconds, while the body is in
this bent position" The above has been
tried by a medical friend of ours, who is
subject to the disease, and he says the
effect is wonderful. As soon as he plac-
ed himself in the position described, the
palpitation was i'm Immediately stopped.

As will be seen, by reference to that
part of our paper devoted to essays and
criticisms from correspondents, the con-
stellation that emits light from that de-
partment, is collecting within its sphere
of influence, all the other luminous boz
dies above the horizon of our local at
mosphere. This is all right, and in ac-
cordance with the fitness of things; and
we now take the liberty to invite others,
who may have the inclination and the
ability to wrestle with questions of local
concern, but who are yet below the hor-
izon, to ascend from obscurity, and al
low US to emblazon their formulated
ideas upon the pages of the Press. We
make but few requirements as conditions
to an exercise of the great franchises
here extended, and they may be group
ed as follows: Devotion to the truth,
and an adherence 10 the questions under
consideration; a Indulgence in low
personalities and long-winded heats;
and 10 amuse and enlighten the public.
All those who feel that they can con-
scientiously subscribe to these require
ments, are at liberty to come forward.

it was very good time to impress on the

81 hope, Dennis" he said to the man,
"you have well considered this solemn
step in life. II hope so, your reverence"
answered Dennis. "Its very important
step you're taking, Mary" said the minis
ter. "Yes. Sir, ! know it is" replied
Mary, whimpering. Perhaps we had bet
ter wait awhile" Perhaps we had, your
reverence" chimed in Dennis. The min
lister, hardly expecting such personal
application of his exhortation, betook him
self to more cheerful aspect of the stu
alton, and said, "Yes of course, it's solemn
and important, you know, but it's very
happy time after all, when the people love
each other. Shall we 60 on with the ser
vice 2" ayes, your reverence" they both
replied and they were soon made one in
the bonds of matrimony and that young
minister is now very careful how he intro
duces the solemn view of marriage to
timid couples.
