SOME days ago, we said that unless hunters

To check bleeding at the nose, hold the head
erect and keep quiet; hold piece of old linty
cotton goods to the nose and snuff the linty dust
from the cloth; use no water. Reno dissolved
in water, and snuffed up the nose, good to stop
the blood. Then get some cinnamon bark and
eat freely for day or two-say from one-half to
one ounce in two days; this will effect radical
cure. When / was a boy, and my brothers
used to cause noses to bleed freely by eating
eheckerberry leaves when they first came up in
the spring. From this learned that bleeding
at the nose was caused by thinning the blood
hence my remedy, for the remedy was my own
discovery.

CHEAP WARMTH.-A correspondent ofthe n. b.
Nail writes: The notice which has appeared in
some newspapers recommending the use of paper
between the blanket and counterpane as n cure
for cold beds induced my wife TO cut out of a
sheet Of brown paper a .'shape' TO fit the neck
and shoulders, which ladies call "a habit-shrt."

of the coolest days We have had this winter, and

VINEGAR As A PREvESTIvEO OF SMALLPON.-The
statement that smallpox prevails alarmingly in
New York City, recalls To my mind the very in
tcresting experience of a German physician, who,
seyerals years ago, had many eases in his prac-
tice. For some reason he conceived the idea,
that common vinegar might either effectually
prevent, or at least, greatly moderate the vio-
lence of the disease. He gave it in tablespoonful
doses three times day, and out of some thirty
persons so treated, not one was seriously i'll,
though several exhibited the primary symptoms
of smallpox, and even had u few distinct pocks.
1t must lie remembered, too, that the experiment
was made among the poorer class of laborers,
where the persons exposed were obliged day
and night to breathe a poisoned atmosphere.
The doctor, whese name, am sorry to say,
have forgotten, though not feeling that the evil
dence was entirely satisfactory to him, was
greatly pleased with the result of his experiment,
and published the account In the hope that ply
sicians in this country well as in Germany
would prove the truth or falsity of his theory.
1t is certainly very harmless experiment, and
well worth trying, even if it saves but one per-
son from suffering.

TRUSTEES OF THE POOR.

MSnthly Meeting To-Day . The
question Of Removal OF the Aims
noon.
The Trustees of the Poor met this
morning at the Almshouse, q full
Board being in attendance. Presi-
dent Bird occupied the chair.
Most Of the morning session was
taken up in the passage of bills.
After the Board was called u order,
DR.. Ogle submitted the monthly re-
port, which will be found in another
column. After the report had been
read and accepted, several questions
were asked the attending physicians
in regard to the temporary tents that
have been erected for small pox pa
tients, and he gave 1t as his opinion
that they were of untold value-less
deaths occurring among the patients
who are confined there than in the
hospital.
DR.. Ogle presented a resolution
from the Trustees OF the Poor of Sus-
sex county inviting the Board to visit
them and to name date.
The invitation was unanim ously &C.
cepted, and after some discussion the
second Tuesday in September was
decided upon.
Mr.. q. Hill Brinton was excused
from serving on the Hospital Committee,
owing to the fact that he would be ab-
sent from the city about four months.
He was excused, and Mr.. Hickman was
appointed In his place. The committee
now consists Of Messrs. Lackey, Bird
and Hickman.
The committee appointed to examine
the accounts of Superintendent Barlow
reported that he was indebted to the
Board to the amount of $2S1.06, which
amount had been paid over to the
Treasurer. The report was accepted.
The Board then adjourned for dinner.
The question of purchasing a site for
q new almshouse will be brought up
before the Board this afternoon. From
present appearances 1t will not be set
tied but allowed TO 60 over until the
next monthly meeting, as the Board is
continually receiving offers of sites.

PUBLICATION OF the late Secretary
Stanton's extraordinary kilograms to ar
rest Greeley draws from the Chicago
Tribune some "reminiscences that serve
to show the animus OF the affair. Ac-
cording to this statement 1t was Stanton
who contributed the memorable sOn to
Richmond" articles, which FASTENED the
battle of Bull Rgn before the military
preparations were sufficiently matured.
Greeley was denounced all over the
country for the articles, though be never
saw them until they appeared In the
editorial columns. Charles A. Dana was
the managing editor and had really re-
ceived carte blanche from the stock
holders, who were dissatisfied with
Greeleys peace policy, TO conduct the
paper. When the reaction came these
meddlesome marplots forced Dana's re-
tirement. He was proffercd position
In the War Department In 1862, when
Stanton was made Secretary, and thence
promoted to be Assistant Secretary.
Dana was no friend TO Greeley, who
had weakly yielded to the men that he
habitually alluded TO as blockheads, and
1t may be taken for granted that Greeley
had no love for Stanton or his assistant.
From this mutual aDtagonism Stanton's
mind must have taken the extraordinary
color revealed in his kilograms TO Pierre
pont. That his mind was In sane state
seems inconceivable from such testi.
mony, and that bis death came from bis
own hand, which has long been suspec-
ted, these revelations OF his unbalanced
reason seems TO leave no don t.
