In the year 1919 Valentine KeitcTing,
OF this county, communicated TO the SEN
ate Of PENNSYLVANIA, "a sure remedy for
the bite ola mad animal" Mr.. KetteriDg
stated that his ancestors used il in Germa
ny 250 years ago, and that Le always
found it TO answer the purpose, during a
residence of over fifty years in the
United States, and that he only published
the remedy from pure move OF humanity.
This remedy consists Of a weed called
chick weed. 1t is a summer plant known
10 the Germans and Swiss by the name o..
Gauchnell Kothey Mayor, or Rother
Huehnerdarm. In EnglaKd it is called
Red Pimpernel. and its botanical name is
Angelic Phonicea. 1t must be gathered
in June, when in full bloom, in the shade.
and then pulverized. The dose of this for
a grown person is q small t%easpoonlul, or
10 weight a drachm and a scruple, at oncc,
in beer or water. For children the dose
is the same, vet it must be administered at
three different times. In applying it must
be usCd'wiih bran or other food. For
hogs the pulverized weed is made into
balls by mixing it with -four and water.
Il can be put ON bread and butter. or in
honey, molasses, etc. The Rev. Mullen
berg said that in Germany thirty grains Of
this powder are given four times a day,
the first day, then once a day the whole
week. while at the same time the wound
is washed out with a decoction of the
weed and the powder strewed in it. Mr..
Kettering said that he. il all instances, adj
ministered but one dose, with the mos:
happy results. That is said to be the same
remedy with which the late DIR. William
Stoy effected so many cures.-HoIidags-
burg Radical.

To. the Edttor Of The TribUne.
SIR: The announcement in this mornings paper
Of the death VI General Thomas e.. Dcvin recalls
an incident illustrative Of hi, character and credit
able to bis energy and patriotism. Two or three
DAYS after the disastrous account Of the defeat OF
the Union Army at Bull Run, was met upon the
stop, of the Astor House by stranger who SAID he
desired authority from the Governor to raise
volunteer company of cavalry for immediate service.
In reply to my questions, he said his name was
Dcyin. that he was painter by trade and that he
belonged To cavalry regiment of this city, from
which hc could recruit company IN twenty -four
hours. wa. 50 much impressed with Mr. Deyns
bearing and manner that | asked him to come to
my room in two hours. Meantime ! sent dispatch
TO Governor Morgan, asking him for the appoint
ment of Mr. Devn as captain, to which received
an affirmative reply. lc returned promptly at the
Amounted time. He was evidently delighted when
addressed him as Captain DeyIn," saying that he
would report next day, and immediately took leave.
The afternoon next day, Captain Devin returned
with the muster-rOll, showing that he had full
company, for which he required subsistence and
TRANSFORMATION, both of which were Immediately
provded and on the following morning Captain
Deyin and company were on their way to Washing
ton.
Having been called to Washington two days af-
terward, Captain Dcvin came to me, saying that
he had not been mustered III and belonged to no
regiment he could not obtain subsistence for his
company; nor was this his only cmbarrassment-Gen-
era Scott refused to receive them a cavalry, hav-
ing no use for that arm of the service Fortunately,
Governor Morgan arrived i'll Washington that
evening. by whose influence both difficulties were
overcome. General Dcyins company were soon
mounted and of to the front. heard good accounts
from him during the progress of the war. and met
him once after his second promotion. At the close
of the war; General Grant ;od me that next to Gen
cral Sheridan he was the best cavalry officer in the
