PoUGHKEEpsIE, ABE, May 1th.

| AS | have, on two former occa-
sions, written you a few lines rela-
tive to the condition Of our public
roads, and having since heard con-
siderable talk about two new roads
Of altogether a different character
from those then mentioned, | have
concluded to write to you again, on
the subject Of one of these new
roadS--the new medical road or sci
ence, in the form of pewter comb
and plate, which is beng peddled
\out through the country at the rate
Of fifty dollars per set, by tramp
on the road of humbug, who claims
that his comb and plate are "king
cure all"-that there is no dis
ease to which the human family
is heir that they will not at once
cure. He claims this to be the re-
suit of many years study and inves,
tgation, and the expenditure Of a
vast fortune; but it does seem to me
that if he had expended many dol
lars and much labor on his invention,
and if it possessed the merit he
claims for it, he would not be here
in these rural districts exchanging
his pewter for sheep, horses and cat
tie, and not even advertise his bust
ness in our county paper, that the
people might read, mook and live;
he would go to the moneyed cen
ters, where, ifhiS trick would stand
a scientific Investigation, he could
make thousands in one day, and
not be bothered with the cara Of
sheep, cattle and horses. Nay, verify,
he will never allow an investigation
of that thing, by scientific experts,
bat rather imposes his claims upon
the unsuspeeting people of the coun-
Try, and | believe that the sooner the
citizens Of the neighborhood he is
infesting become aware that they
are being humbugged, and drive

The Salt Lake Herald tells of a re-
markable mule that is driven on one of
the street-car lines of Salt Lake CITY,
and that is required to make five round
trips every morning before change of
teams occurs. As the fifth trip draws
to a close, the sagacious animal stretches
its neck and looks for the team that is to
relieve it, and if it does not see any wait
ing at the end of the route, begins to
whinny in a way that is as ineligible as
words could be. What the editor of the
Herald wants to know is where that
street-car mule learnt its arithmetic, and
how it succeeds in keeping such accurate
tally of the number of trips that it
makes.
