A Remedy for Diphtheria.
IMPERIAL RUSSIAN LEGATION
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is, 1879.

WASHINGTON, Nov, 16, 1879.
In view OF the increase in diphtheria in
several places of the State of New York !
hasten to communicate to you for publicity
a very simple remedy, which, having been
used In Russia and Germany, may prove eff
fective here. Out of several others, DIR.
LetZerIch, who made extensive experiments
IN application of this remedy, has used it in
twenty-seven cases, eight Of which were of
a very serious nature, all of which had a
favorable result except in ore case, when
the mid died from a complication of dis
eases Fol- children of one year he pro-
scribes the remedy, for internal use every
one or two hours, as follows:
Natr. benzoic, pur. 80 solv. in az. dis
tillat az. menth. piper. ana 400 syr. aur.
100.
For children from one to three wears old
he prescribed it from seven to eight gram
mes for 100 grammes of distilled water,
with same syrup; for children from three
t 0 seven years old he prescribed ten to fif-
teen grammes, and for grown persons from
hiteen to twenty five grammes for each 100
grammes.
Besides this he uses also with great sue
cess the installation of the diptherial mem
brane through a glass tube in serious cases
every three hours, in light cases three times
a day of the natr. benzoic pulver. For
grown people he prescribes for gargling a
dllution of ten grammes of this pulver for
200 grammes of water.
The effect Of the remedy is rapid. After
twenty-four or thirty-six hours the feverlsh
symptoms disappear completely and the
temperature and pulse become normal. This
remedy was used also with the same success
by DIR. Braham Braun and Professor Klebs,
in Prag; DIR. Senator, in Cassel, and sever
al others in Russia and Germany.
Hoping that the publication through your
widely spread paper will prove beneficial
in the United States, | remain, yours, very,
truly. n. SHISKIN.

A Washington correspondent writes as
foiIovs about the adjustment of Trade
Marks:
Gen. PAYNE, Commissioner OF Patents,
bpinU asked what effect the decision of the
S1preme Court, declaring the trademark
law unconstitutional. would have, replied
that it would be serious and many business
interests suffer. Whether another law could
be found that would cover substantially the
same interests, and stand the scrutiny of
the Supreme Court, was doubtful. The
Court did not pass upon what might be
lone. but they etfectually settled what had
been done. The patent office will imme-
diately suspend the issuance of trademark
privileges. and those which have been issued
are ofcourse now of no avail. A man had
swell own a conceded postage stamp as a
trade mark. Being asked if some Of these
trademarks thus nullitied were not very
valuable. the Commissioners replied that
they were. or at least were so regarded, be
lore the decision. However, the common
law right in trade marks survives, out the
United States statutory provisions are an
DuIed. There are now over 5000 trade
marks registered, and 200 pending for reg
l>tratlon. OF course. under the decision all
o%peradons under this head must be suspen-
led. 1t in effect abolishes the trademark
bureau of the patent office. This will cut
OIL from the patent offibe revenues about
$4,000 yearly. Since the establishment of
lie Trademark system the fees paid into the
once amounted to over $3.50, 900, which
nave been paid into the United State Treas
Ay. Now that the law has been declared
unconstitutional, 1t Is clear that this money
was Wrongfully collected. and actions for it's
,v9Fery brought liz the Court Of Claims will
-yId good. But as the contingent fund of
,e patent office i not large enough to meet
rs unexpected demand. Commissioner
Ioine Will probably ask of Congress a spe-
sM Appropriation. In addition to this, he
mean the attention of Congress to the
LAY. that legislation upon this subject is of
..I Importance to business interests, and if
Iv5,sary an amendment should be made to
|S lonshtution. Under the rules of pa
T !. oLnce a trademark was granted for
.tnL! years, and on payment of the fee, $25,
I Is expiration of this'period, was renew

Misery FOLLOWING AN ELOPEMENT.-

Misery FOLLOWING AN ELoPEMENT.-
Miss Hattie Ludwick, a young and pretty
white girl. who in July last e!oped from
IcKeesport. Pa, with Tom Bronson, a
coarse featured negro, and a married man,
was recently recognized while tramping on
the track of the Central Railroad Of New
jersey. She was in male attire, but a pass
ing train blew away her cap, and her HAIR
coming down enabled Il peddler, who knew
her, to recognize in the haggard and care
worn tramp the former spoiled child of a
rich farmers family. The girl complains
ed of hunger, as neither of them had eaten
ANYTHING for thirty hours. They had but
five cents with which to pay for feiriage
from Jersey City to New York. The peddler
gave them enough to get a meal. The poor
creature, who was in a very exhausted and
nervous state, and whose face bore unmls-
taxable signs of recent tears, appeared to
have wholesome dread of her cOlOred lord
and master and to be completely under his
control.

Lumberton RoJesontan: The largest crowd
which ever stood in our Court House was
present last Monday morning. The prison
er, Miss Linkhaw, was conveyed to the
Court House in a buggy, accompanied by
her mother, who sat with her in the pris-
oner's box, while her sister, Mrs. A. c.
Melke, sat with her husband inside of the
bar, on the right of Col. w. Foster French.
Of the $50 good and lawful men who were
summoned, very few failed to answer to their
names. The State raised some objection to
the jury in consequence of their being sepa-
rated while out of Court, causing a mistrial.
A new jury will be summoned and the case
taken up again Monday next, the oath inst.

The Fair.

We send out with this issue of the
DEMOCRAT, a supplement containing
the list OF premiums, giving all need
ed information concerning the com
ing fair Of our County Agricultural
Society. We sincerely hope that the
farmers of the county, will turn out
in force, and make Of this fair what it
should be, great success. Let
every farmer in the county, if posi-
BILE, come, and bring with him some
thing to add to the general interest.
The American Agriculiurisi, in speak
ing of the matter, says: "The isola-
tion of the family is the great misfor-
tune Of our farm life. The house is
placed as near as may be in the CEN
ter of our large farms, and neighbor-
ly intercourse is difficult. Hence it
is all the more necessary for the far
mer and his family to make the best
Of the opportunity for social enjoy
ment afforded by the local fair. If
the fair did only this, it would be
worthy of encouragement; but it
does much besides. These good
people will go the Fair, see much,
meet many old friends, learn much,
and, let US hope, bring away pleas
ant recollections-and some prem
iums. But what they will take is
far better than any premiums they
will bring away-for they take their
bcst-they show that they have a
pride in the farmers life, and they
show the best products OF that life
not in the crops, the steers, the colt
and chickens, the bread or quilt, but
in the very best of all products OF
the farm, the men and women, and
the boys and girls, who will soon be
men and women. These are the best
products of the American farms, and
they are such products as the farms
of no other country can show"

BY this time the stubbles have been
picked pretty clean, and the pigs are
in good condition to make the most
of liberal feeding from this on.
Many thrifty and providcnt farmers
so arrange as to keep over n portion
of old corn for use at this season,
well knowing that one bushcl of old
corn fed during the next six weeks
will make more pork than two bushels
OF new corn fed during the six weeks
next following. While many fail for
various reasons to do this, most man
age, in some way or another, to COM
mence giving the pigs little better
fare about this time TO- get them into
"good, thriving condition" by the
time the corn gets fit to feed. In
our own case, knowing last spring
that we should be short of corn, we
sowed Il couple of acres of oats and
pcas-two bushels of each per acre
and on the 18th inst. harvested
and thrashed the mixed crop. This
we are grinding, and giving our pros
pective porkers all they will eat of
it, after having been allowed to
"sour" or fermcnt. Our early pota-
toes were closely "sortcd" when dug
and none but the marketable ones
put away for keeping. Each day n
portion of the small and unmarked
able ones, with that part of the
"windfalls" from the orchard which
are unfit for other use, are crushed
not prcssed--in the hand cider mill.
The kitchen slops are mixed with
this, and the whole thickeucd with
the ground peas and oats, and left to
fcrment. Two barrels are used, the
pigs being Eel out of one while the
other is being prepared. SO far this
method is proving quite satisfactory,
the pigs eating with avidity and
gaining rapidly. In another column
we give scasonablc collection of
paragraphs on the subject OF pork
making, gathered from practical and
experienced farmers, which will prove
suggestive to many, even of those
most experienced in pig raising and
feeding.
