CURE FOR CoRNs.-The latest rem
edy for the cure of corns comes to US
from q friend living in Kingsville,
Ohio, who voucles for the cure with
brave assurance, having known Of its
efficacy in many stubborn cases. He
says "Take a we'll ripened lemon,
roll and squeeze until the juices are
we'll liqaifed, then open the lemon
and squeeze the juice into a glass vial.
Add to the juice three or six pearl
buttons, according to size, such a. is
used on linen or cambria underwear.
In few days it will be found the
lemon juice has eaten up or dissolved
the buttons, SO they can be mashed
between tho thumb and finger. Shake
the mixture we'll, then apply it to the
corn. A few applications will conquer
the most the most stubborn settler
and give permanent relief.n This is
remedy easily prepared and contains
no poisonous substance; 90 all who de-
sire can use it without fear ofevil con-
sequences.

OUR I" PIONEER SKETCHES,

The scanty materials and meagre
data thus far furnished US, give but
little encouragement, and we fear
that unless greater interest is mani
tested, that We shall very imperfect
" execute the task which we have
undertaken. The order IN which the
sketches will appear depends, in a
measure, upon the order in which
the desired information comes to us.
Again, we would say to those who
feel any interest in the matter, that
We would feel thankful for any men,
oranda or information relating to the
early settlers of the Parish, and we
hope that there will be no false deli
cacy or hesitation on the part Of any
one who feels disposed to contribute.
There are records and manuscripts
still in existence which would fur
nish us invaluable data, and through
the kindness Of interested parties we
trust that we will be able to draw
from all such sources. We would
solicit, also, from contributors ex-
tended notices of any and all persons
entitled to place among the "Pio-
neers." ANY matter which may be
furnished we shall feel at liberty to
use unless otherwise requested) in
accordance with our judgment, and
suuch we shall, perhaps, appropriate
bodily. We do not see that we need
be governed wholly by conventional
usages-at the same time let it be
