To Remove Corns.

II the corn has attained large size,
removal by cutting or ligature will DO
necessary. 1fit'hangs by small neck,
the latter method is preferable. 1t is
done by tying silk thread around the
corn, aud, on its removal next day, an.
other still tighter, and SO on until COM
plctely removed. When the base is
broad. cautious dissection OF the corn
from the surrounding parts by means Of
d sharp knife or razor is necessary.
This is done by pairing gently till the
whole is removed. In all cases OF cut.
ting corns, the feet ought to be previ.
ously washed, rs in case OF a wound
in the foot great danger may result
from want of cle9nliness in this respect.
Modification has been the result in
some cases Of this neglect. For the
eradication OF warts, the proper applica.
ton OF caustic potassa (stick) is highly
recommended.

A Most Horrible Death,

LOUISVILLE, Feb. 20. AS horrible a
death probably as it is possible for man
to suffer. occurred at La grange, KY, Sat
urday night. The victim was John Fin
negan, an engineer on the Short Line
Railroad. Finnegan was on freight
train. The axle broke and precipitated
the engine and cars down slight en-
bankment. Finnegan was by some means
caught fast by the machinery and held
so that his companions could not effect his
release. Two streams Of hot water pour
ed upon his face and body from broken
boiler. No relief could be extended to
the sufferer and after the most horrible
agony, became unconscious and soon died.
When physicians from Louisville arrived,
Finnegan was dying, with his tongue al
most dropping off from the effects OF hot
water which had forced itself into his
mouth.

was tried at the March term. 1874 when the plaintiff

[ Correspondence of the Bangor Commercial
Land Script Investigation.

AUGUSTA, Me, Feb, Il
Dir. Jordan was rigidly examined by the Commit
tee this evening.
The effort of the Chairman was to get at the accu
racy OF certain statements made by the Doctor last
year in his cores pondence to the Standard. There
was no desire manifested to meet the facts that
while Maine got % cents per for her lands other
states realized from dollar seven dollars an
acre
Referring to the sale OF the script, the Doctor said
the sale never properly advertised. II is claimed
that II was advertised i'll the kennebec journal bur
that paper had very limited circulation especially
east OF the Penobscot, where the land kings reside
1t should have been advertised i'll all the leading
newspapers III the State, that land BUYERS mig
have seen it. In his judgment, the script should not
have been sold at all, at that tiIne-thc land should
have been located, but if sold, it should have been
widely advertised.
AT the time this land was sold for a little rising of
Hffy cents an acre, government lands We're worth
l23 per acre, and many other states were receiving
from three to Seren dollars for their lands
HE Doctor produced letter from the Governor
price he had sold these lands for was 81 80 an acre
and from that mp to 50 acre and he realized as
much money from the sale If thirtyye thousand
acres, as Maine realized from the sale Of tlr0 hul
Ore" thousand acres! 1t was these pucnt facts that
led him to believe that these lands either cor
ruptty SOld or grossly misnadHdged.
The Doctor presented the following 0dcid( reports
Of sales in other states. while Maine received but
fifty three cents, which the Committee declined 10
