Hos CHoLERA.-The Lewiston Ga
sette says every paper in the Uniteu
States Cught occasionally to keep the
fact before its readers that burnt corn
is certain and speedy cure for hog
cholera. Tue best way is to take pile OF
corn on the cob, effectually scorch it,
an give the affected hogs free access
to it. THIS remedy was discovered by
accident by E E. Locke, Esq &. at the
time his dist llery was burned 10 this
county, Together with a large lot of
stored corn. which vas so much injured
as to be unfit for use, it was hauled our
and greedllY eaten by hoRs, several If
which were dying daily. After the
second day rot a single hog was lost,
and the disease entirely disappeared.
The remedy has been tried since IN a
number of cases and has never failed.

diphtheria, and IN great degree con-
sumption, are all diseases of the prevent
able class. Among the most important
