GOD3IAN, JI. D. During my residenco in New York, where my children were very frequently attacked with severe and dangerous fits of croup to which they had always been particularly liable, I was informed by my friend, Dr. F. Yanderburg, of a very simple and efficacious method of arrest ing at once all the symptoms of this distressing and frequently fatal disease. Whenever chil dren are threatened withjtn attack ofeynanche irachealis, he directs a "rrfastcr of dry Scotch snuff, varying in size according lo the age of the patient, to be applied directly across the top of the thorax, and retained there until all the' symptoms disappear. He slated thai he found the remedy to be always effectual when applied in the first or second stages of the malady. This mode of treatment was from prejudice or scepticism neglected by me, and in one in stance, in which, with very considerable diffi culty, one of my children was rescued by the ordinary treatment. But on being again urged to make trial of ihe snuff piaster, I determined lo make the experiment whenever opportunity presented. This was not long wanting, and when called to a child laboring under all the symptoms of the early stago of croup, such a plaster (made by greasing a piece of linen, and covering it well with Scotch snuff,) was direct ly applied to the chest. The event was most happy; the symptoms of tracheal irritation and harsh crouping-cough ceased shortly after, the child fell into a profound sleep with gentle per- spiraiion, and by next morning was free from all distressing symptoms. The plaster was re applied for a night or two following, and then discontinued, as the disease had entirely disap peared. Since ihat lime my family have been saved from a great deal of anxiety and alarm, to which previously they were subject, as we were obliged to keep Coxe's hivo syrup, tartar emetic, and all the other articles usually resort ed to, constantly ready to meet tho attacks of croup, which were very sudden and frequent in cold and wet seasons. Since ihen, we .have found nothing necessary but the snuff plaster. If a child is heard to breathe hoarsely, or cough, with any thing of the dreaded ringing sound of croup, it is only necessary to apply the snuff plaster, and we feel under no farther anxiety. Instead of being obliged in watch with the child all the rest of the night, when once tho snuff is applied, we go to rest again, with a feeling of entire security, which wb hdvc never had the least cause to regret. The intelligent physician above named, is in the practice of deriving great advantage from the external use of tobacco in various cases, in which ii is by no means generally employed, if its use be even thought of. To allay ihe irrita tive cough arising from different diseased states bf tho Jungs; in diseases accompanied with chronic t-pasm, and in ihe reduction of hernia; by direct application of tobacco to the hernial ittmour, Sic, Dr. Yanderburg has used tobacco externally with very decided success. In cases of croup the Scotch snuff (which I believe is prepared from tobacco stems,) is lo be preferred. My friend, Dr. Pendleton, of New York, informs me, he has tried oilier snuff with out attaining his end, while with the Scotch the effect was cortain. I publish this note with the hope that other physicians will give the treatment a fair trial, and report their experi ence. It has the advantage over the tobacco" smoke, mentioned in the interesiing notice of Professor Chapmanj recently published, that it may be kept always ready, and be applied in the dark, without loss of time. It has never caused vomiiingj vertigo, or any oiher distres sing jsymptomj in my experience, and this ac cords with the experience nf bolh the physi cians last mentioned in this note.

A gentleman speaking of Temperanco ha other day, remarked that Sir Robert Pol hsA stated that notwithstanding all ihe good Fath er Matthew had done in Irelandj the incruau in the consumption of ardent spirits in the Etu erald Isle has been at least twenty per ceni in the last year.

One day latt summer he was seized with a Homo Sick ver, and he concluded to leave the green fild.- of the South for ihe dfcary waste of New Jor sey, where hesprouted into existence, and whra his parents reside this moment. In the cnur-u of time he arrived at the collage where ho drew his first breath and warm and cordial were the congratulations he received from hn kindred. After breakfast in the morning ha arrived, his father and broihors retired to tbj fields id labor, when his kind mother thus ad dressed him : Well Jack the facl is wo have had great changes here since you left us. The ofd man and boys have joined the Temperance Society and will not drink a drop but as they are in ihe field now; I have a bottle and can give you a drink !' ' Jack took a 'pull at the old lady's serrrt retainer, and started for the barn, where he met his father, who said i Jack, since you left us, there has been h-ll to play the old Woman and ihe boj-s have ta ken the pledge, and they made mo put down my name also ; but if you like a 'horn,' 1 al ways keep Black Betty under the hore crib step over there and you'll find her in prime or der !' This was too mlich for tho Captain he fairly roared but held up at the request of his fricn J until the conclusion. Afer Jatik had tried the quality of tho ohl man's rye tea, he took a stroll to the cornfield, where he met the boys, who were in great glee. 'We are glad to see you Jack,' said one of his brothers ; 'we're just agoing to ease off for a few moments, and you must join ua. Be fore we take a smasher, however, I must" tell you what fools the old peoplu have made them selves about the Temperance Society. They scratched down their names, and made us do the same, but they hav'nt fooled us bad, a you'll soon see. In another moment a largo green bottle was circulating among the buys, and Jack had a sup at that also ! This,' said the captain's friend, is the illus tration of Sir Robert Peel's remark. Every one has a bottle nowall drink in secret while formerly the 'crathur' was publicly con sumed.' The captain finished his laughing -acknowledged tho corn and paid for the juleps I Cresont City. We recollect reading some years since a real Yankee Trick, which may be well applied to the present day. A yankee tin peddler wishing to coin money more rapidly than by disposing of his wares, became suddenly af flicted with a very disagreeable disease vul garly called tho itch. In every house on his way he left the infection, and the country for a great extent was filled with it to the great hor ror of tho natives, who wished hira and his cart to the "old scratch." A short time after anoth er peddler of the same description "followed in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor," and among his Yankee notions was to be foun.it an infallible remedy for the itch warrant not to fail. Money poured into his coffers, ami by the time he had taken the tour of bis part ner in business who scattered tho infeciion, ho had a sufficient sum to set then both up in bu siness! Just so with Millerism. The apparently hon ent disciples aro roving through the country, distributing gratuitously their papers and tracts holding forth to the gaping multitudes, and frightening old women and children, and on their heels are book peddlers selling this testa tion of the doctrines of Millerism I! This beats the Morris Town Ghost affair all hollow, and tho itch peddler to boot. Jerseyman A bankrupt in Vermont lately gave among his offecis as tho product of his labor, nino small children. He thought his creditors eu tilkd to all his acquisitions since ho became-involved. A short time since, Mr, Johnson, while a bill to exempt certain property from execution was pending in the Indiana Legislature, offered an amendment thereto, providing that ihe fami lies who kept no cow should be allowed to., re tain in lieu thereof a barrel of whiskey! ,
