A Fair SUot.
In the Dayton (Obio) district, at the
late election, Lewis D. Campbell, an or
iginal old line Whig, was the Democratic
candidate for Congreow. His opponent
was Gen. Schenck the present member.
They eanyassed the district together, both
f peaking to the people from the same
tand. Schenck was defeated. On the
night after the election the friends of Gen.
Campbell held a jabilee, at which he made
a peerh. The following extract from
Mr. Campbell' remarks presents as fine
specimen of the argumentum ad Itomin
rm as we remember ever to have seen
It cuts with the terrible precision of a
genuine Damascus blade:
"1 may refer to aD occurrence In the course
of our debate iu the city of Hamiltou on Sat
urday last. Puring my remarks in the hour
allotted me, a funeral procession was parsing
by the meeting, with a band playing a solemn
dirge. In respect to the solemnity of the oc
casion. I MiEDeiided mr remark? for a few mo
ments. In the course of bis remarks General
Schenck adverted to the procession, and in a
sneering, Mrcnstic manner informed the audi
ence thai I would discover on the evening of
the election that there would he on creation
for another funeral. As this vast concourse of
people moved to-night through the broad ave
nues of this beautiful city, I was reminded of
the remark; and lorcibly struck with the vast
extent of the procession. Bot, follow cit'zens,
you know all cao bear me witness that this is
iot my lunoral. Immense checri.J It is a
demon tration occasioned by the political de
mise of my competitor, who has so long abused
the power conferred upon um by your confi
dence, and betrayed your dearest interests. I
urn among vou to night to bury Oeesar ond not
to praits him."
The Huntingdon Globe, one of the or
gans of the Radical party in that county,
thus jpeaks of the result of the late elec
tion in that heretofore Republican strong
hold. No alicpation of fraud is made,
but Mr. Morrcll defeat in that county is
accounted for on other and satisfactory
grounds :
The result in this county u just what we
expected it would be and just what we said
it would be with Morrell as the Republican
candidate. Two years ago this county gave
ilr. Morrell 999 mpjirily now there is a
roajoiity of 636 against him and why?
because lie was run in the interest alone of
the men who united with the Democrats last
fall to cnt'h as cood Republicans as Morrell,
Scott & Co.. dare claim to be. We regret
that the "situation'' is as it is the Repub
lican partj so completely demoralized that
mecees in the future is uncertain but the
responsibility must and will rest tritb the
men who struck down the regularly nomina
ted ticket last fall. Thy were the fir?t to
repudiate party nomine tions, and Mr. Mor
rell ruirsett thim then and has nursed them
ever sicce. Mr. Morrell must be a very
vhort sighted man if be expected to carry
this county atter permitting ra wing of tbe
party to be persecuted to the bitter tnd. by
the few woulJ-bc-leaders who have hut little
r no influence with the mass of the Repub
lican voters.
Onr Senators have both been defeated.
Mr. Woods was cut by at least two bundled
Republicans who were falre Inst year, but
hia vote was kept up by Democrat), who
cut Petriken or Crawford.
Both Democratic members are also elect
ed. The party majority on the balance of
the ticket is in the neighborhood of only 400,
a heavy falling off from what the majority
would have been for the whole ticket had a
new man been nominated for Congress.
W( publish below from the Hunting
don Monitor, a statement showing the
majorities in tho different election districts
in Huntingdon county in-18G8, when Mr.
Morrell and Col. John P. Linton were
the opposing candidates for Congress, as
well as the majorities in the same districts
tor Mr. Morrell and Mr. Speer at the late
electien. The figures are decidedly inter
esting and instructive. If there was any
other Democratic candidate for Congress
in this State on the Second Tuesday of
.October who so completely revolutionized
bis own county as li. Milton Speer did
Huntingdon, we would like to see the
evidence. We commend these figures to
the careful study and serious reflection of
Mr. MorreH's friend and champion, Cyrus
Elder :

Dakikx V. Voohtiks, one of the most
distinguished and eloquent advocates in
the last Congress of the principles of the
Democratic party, has been re elected
from his district in the State of Indiana
bj a majority of 1100. Two years ago
his majority-waa only about 1C0. We
take that to be a high but well deserved
compliment to a noble Democrat and an
tioncBlj faithful Congressman.
Tbe Missouri Elect Ion.
A Governor, members of Congress and
members of the Legislature will be elected
in Missouri on the first Tuesday in No
vember. The Democratic party made no
nomination for Governor. One faction of
the Radicals renominated the present
Governor, M'Clurg. A pplit occurred in
the State convention and the seceders
nominated as M'Clurg's opponent H.
Gratz Brown, of St. Louie, formerly one
of the United States Senators from thut
State. Both candidates nre Republicans.
There is a law in Missouri, which disfran
chises all men in that State who gave aid
and countenance to the rebellion. Mc
Clurg advocates the continuance of this
senseless, unjust and odious enactment.
Brown, in as much as the fifteenth amend
ment confers tbe right of suffrage on all
the qualified negroes of Missouri, takes
the sensible and honest view, that white
men in that State have some rights at the
ballotbox which negroes are bound to
rpBnoct- and he is therefore in favor of
. , ,
repealing the present obnoxious law and
allowing all white citizens who are legally
qualified, to vote. The iesue is thus fairly
and squarely made up between M'Clurg
and his bigoted adherents on the one side,
and Brown and his liberal supporters on
the other. Carl Shurr, who is one of the
United States Senators from Missouri.
nnd who is a liberal and high-minded
gentleman, is the warm friend and elo
quent advocate of Mr. Brown's election,
of whose success there cannot be any
reasonable doubt. President Grant has
interfered in thia Missouri contest by re
moving certain officers of the general gov
ernment who affiliate with Shurz and
oppose M'Clurg. Mr. Brown, the liberal
candidate, made a ppeech at B. Joseph on
tbe 8th of October, in which, to use the
language of the Age, he told "the Presi
dent to proceed with the removals from
office, his intimidation, his attempts to
euppicss political freedom, his sinister
threats, his tenure of office, his schemes
for coercing hia own re-nomination, for
the Presidency, and have the fight in
Missouri, and he will find that the people
are neither to be bought or intimidated."
Addreex or the National Demo
cratic Committee.
Below we give the congratulatory ad
dress of the National Democratic Execu
tive Committee, over the Democratic
gains in the Stutes of Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana. It is terse and able and to
the point. We especially commend the
closing paragraph of the address to tbe
attention of the Democratic and Conserv
ative voters of the country. If its spirit
is carried out with firmness and unflinch
ing determination, there exists no reasons
why the Democracy may not bo in power
within the next two yenrs, and set about
a thorough restoration of the Union on a
peaceful and prosperous basis.
The following is the address :
Rooms of tdb National Democratic
Exkcutive Resident Committer.
Washington , October 21, 1870
The National Democratic Congressional
Reaident Committee tender their congratula
tions to the Democratic and Conservative
voters of the three great States of Pennsyl
vania, Indiana and Ohio, for their recent
successes over the corruptions of radicalism,
aided as the Radicals have been, by a profli
gate and desperate administration at Wash
ington. In Pennsylvania a gain of five members
of Congress has been secu."pd. the Radical
majority of lust year has been larj'ly reduced
in each brauch of the Legislature, nnd there
is a decided majority in the State on the
popular vote against the administration. In
Indiana the State has been redeemed trom
further Radical misrule bv the election ot
the Democratic and Conservative State tick
et, carrying with it a gain of two members
of Congre.-s and a majority in each branch
of the Legislature. Economy and reform are
thus made sure to the people of that State in
the immediate future.
In Ohio the Radical majority of two years
a20 has been reduced more than one half
and the leader of the Radical corruptionists
in the present Congress has been defeated.
We now appeal to the Democratic and
Conservative voters of the States in which
elections are about to be held to make fur
ther and more determined efforts' in behalf
of a restoration of an honest administration.
We ask that they disregard threats from any
central source, and piy no atteutipn in any
respect to any proposed use of the military
power of the government in tbe local man
agement of elections in the States. Let the
doors of our organization be thrown wide
open for the admission of all who desire
economy and honesty in tbe management of
the public treasury, so that the present bur
den of taxation may bo thereby mitigated
regardless of former issues or past political
association or name, and br'mg about entire
co-operation arnonp all who seek a restora
tion of the Union founded upon peace and
good will among their fellow men. and return
to strict integrity amooc the public officers
of the nation.

Tbe Cambria Disaster.
The Knl New Fully Confirmed T tie
Vesacl Hrtrketl Within an Hour of
the End of the Voyage Narrative of at
Keacned Iager-Jio Tldines of the
lllssins; Boats.
Br Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Poet.
Washington, Oct. 22. Tbe total loss of
the steamship Cambria, which was yesterday
rumored, i? fully confirmed by later dispatch
es, and there is little to give hope that the
nassengers, who had taken to the boats, have
escaped. Tbe coast is a very dsgnerous one,
and it is evident from the upsetting of one of
the boats, from which the single survivor of
the wreck was picked up, thatTthe sea was
very rough at the time of the disaster. Nev
ertheless, those who had friends on board
need not be in any baste to imagine the
worst. The coast is admirably guarded by
expert and adventurous men, and it is not
impossible that if the boats were driven
Aehore some of tho passeugers were saved.
Other less fatal but still serious marine loss
es are reported this morning, many of them
on our own coasts.
The late gales were everywhere daDgerous,
and we may expect for several days of seri
ous wrecks along the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts. The Cambria was considered in
sound ccudition, and has ever been regarded
a the finest vessel on any of the ocean lines.
She was but recently rebuilt, thoroughly of
iron, and in every way prepared for the se
verest contest with win.l or wave. Captain
Carnaghan. the commander of the Cambria
during this ill-fated voyage, was one of the
most experienced anrt skillful naval officers
visiting this port, lie has been in command
of vessels of the Anchor Line for several
years, and was thoroughly conversant with
the navigation of the trans Atlantic route to
Glasgow.
London, October 22. Late on Wednes
day evening word reached Londonderry that
the steamer Cambria, of the Anchor Line,
had been wrecked off tbe cost of Donegal.
Information was brought to that city by the
survivor, John McGartland, a steerage pass
enger. The intelligence at first was disbe
lieved, but has since been confirmed.
The telegraph lines have been disarranged
by the recent storms, and tbe following
Eiimrosiry of McGai Maud's narrative has just
come tnrough from London : 1 he trip trom
New York was generally fortunate, notwith
standing unpleasart weather prevailed most
of the time notil the night of Wednesday.
October 19. between ten and eleven o'clock.
The Cambria was then under sail and steam
ing rapidly. Suddenly when all was goiDg
well fche struck on Mistraline Island, a small
rock island ten miles west of Donegal and
thirty miles west of Londonderry. The ves
sel instantly began to fill through large holes
stove in the bottom, and the fires were soon
extinguished. It now was evideDt that the
steamer could not be saved, and therefore
attention was directed to saving the passm
cers, who were massed upon the deck. Four
boats crowded with passengers were launch
ed and put off fiom the sinking steamer
McGartland entered one of these and he saw
no more of tbe ship or other boats. He
thinks there is no doubt that all the boats
were swamped, and that he is the only sur
vivor. Almost immediately upon getting
into the boat it capsized, and he lost con
sciousness. Upon reviving, he found him
self in the sea, bnt grasping the gunwale of
the boat, which had righted, he succeeded in
getting inside a second time, and found
therein the dead body of a lady dressed in
black silk.
Mr. McGaitbcd was tossed about many
hours when be wa9 picked up by the Enter
prise, Capt. Gillespie, who ciuised about the
scene of the disaster for a long time in the
hope of saviDg life and property. Mr. Mc
Gartland sys that almost at the very time
of the disaster the passengers and crew were
congiatulating themselves on the tempestu
ous voyage being nearly finished, and rej do
ing in the fact that in one short hour more
they would land at Moville. There were
certainly one I undred and eighty souls on
board, and perhaps more.
Lonponoerbt, October
22. Midnight.
Vessels just returning from the scene of
the Cambria disaster, in tbe North Channel,
report that they discovered only a lot f
broken spars and a few stray barrels of
fl.'tir, which formed part of her cargo.
Nothing has yet been heard of the three
small boats which put out from the Cambria
when she struck. All hope for their safety
has not been entirely abandoned, but Mr.
McGartland reports that a wind little short
of a hurricane prevailed at the time, which
it would be miraculous for such a small craft
to weptber.
The Tien Tsin Massacre. Rev. H. II.
Lowry, Methodist mi.-sionary "at Pekin
writes to the Western Advocate an authentic
account of this terrible affair. Ho says :
"All the priests connected with the iftoman
Catiline missions, and three Russian mer
chanb residing in the city, fell victims to
the determined slaughter. No delicacy, no
high-toned and tender respect for noble
women, have any place here ) ten Sistets of
Charity were dragged iuto tiY? street, sub
jected to every imaginable indigui'y and
outrage possible to ungovernable passfo.n.
and then thrown into the flames of tbe build
ing which they had erected to shelter tbe
homelesR and friendless. The fool deed is
accomplished, and the sound of the gong
bids the crowd disperse. A few Protestant
chapels to be demolished by detachments
of the grand assembly, and the day's woik
is ended. "Now, was this the work of a
mob? had the people been goaded to des
peration by 6ome foul deed or the repeated
infliction of ome grevious wrong 1 No. It
was a simple carrying into effect the part of
a predetermined and organizod plan to ex
terminate foreigners from North China.
1 his the evidence seems abundantly suffi
cient to substantiate. 1 he originators acd
leaders only used these scoundrels and law
less characters as their tools in effecting
their purposes, and aroused the popular
feeling by circulating the absurd rumors
that the Roman Catholics were in league
with kidnappers."
Special Dispatch to the Commercial.
Johnstown, Pa., October 14.
Francis have been discovered in Blair and
Huntingdon counties, which will much nullify
Speer's reported majority of nine votes in this
district. Mr. Morrell, who is now absent from
home, will be obliged to make a contest by the
people who revolutionized this strongly Demo
cratic couDty to give him a majority. C. E.
The above, which appears in Saturday's
Pittsburg Commercial, foreshadows tbe be
beginning of tbe end. We have not doubted
for a single moment MorreH's intention to
contest Mr. Speer's election, and this insult
ing and lying dispatch from Cyrus Elder,
the poet laureate of Cambtia county, and
the manufacturer of MorreH's tariff speeches,
proves that the plot has commenced to work.
The assertion that frands have been discov
ered in Blair apd Huntingdon counties 13
simply a bold-faced lie, as well as an insult
to these counties. They conducted their
elections legally, with due observance of all
the forms of law, and if Morrell and his
allies attempt to defraud the man of their
choice out of his seat, something will hap
pen. . This thing of cheating Democrats out
of their seats is getting to be a common
thing and it is about time to apply a reme

Terrible Evictions In TTIcklovr,
- Ireland.
- A Dublin letter of September 21st con
tains the following terrible picture of suf
fering :
After all the strife, the discussion and the
bitterness occasioned by the Land bill of
last session, it now turns out that the work
of extermination iu Ireland proceeds as vig
orously as ever. Alas ! I fear there is no
hope for the Irish peasantry, at least to onr
generation. Another Land bill must be
passed, as much in advance of Mr. Glad
stone's as Mr. Gladstone's is in advance of
the old system, before they can be secure in
their holdings, and even then their position
will be precarious enough. Though not as
attentive to business as one could wish, still
it must be acknowledged that the tenant
farmers are the most industrious in tbe Irish
community. It is unfortunately too true
that we want uew blood, new spirit, new
activity among us. Wo are too idle, too
fond of hquandering away onr time, too apt
to underrate the importance of industry ; and
if the most active class in the country re
ceived more encouragemtut they would set
an example that might be followed with
great profit and advantage. But this is not
to be, at least for the present.
Near Bait in glass, n the county Wicklow.
on the estate of Mr. Dick, the member cf
Parliament for that county, what think you
took place during the last few days? No
less than twenty-four families one hundred
and forty-six persons in all were sent adrift
upon the world ! All of them, without ex
ception, were well to do, and owed not a
penny ef rent. They were willing to pav
but their offer to this effect was not accepted.
Mr. Dick, "the patriotic member from the
county," happened to be traveling on the
Continent, and of course, could not be com
municated with, either by their sufferers or
their friends. He was, therefore, spared
the ncpleasast task of listening to the im
portunities of his serfs, or of witnessing the
terrible tragedy enacted by bis express com
mands.
Dr. Growing, an eye-witness, thus des
cribes what he saw: "Here was a scene.
The mother, an aged woman, with eleven
children, fainted at the last &i juncture, and
was deemed to be dying. Her son gave me
a sudden summons to see her. I Lurried on
after him. When I arrived I found the
woman in a field. I bad her brought into
a shed, and there I administered to ber.and
moBt amiously didVhe desire the holy min
istrations of the Church, which more than
anything elsrf, convey consolation to the
troubled heart. When I bid her be calm
nnd resigned. she5 told me her heart was
breaking ; that she had had many sorrows
through life tbe death of her children,
worldly disappointments and the recent loss
of her husband but this cross surpassed
them all. Leaving this poor woman, I re
turned home. On my way I met horses
laden with furniture and farm produce, then
droves of cattle, pigs, horses, fow?s. men,
women, boys and little children. I exhort
ed them to be patient, but my words were
drowned by the wild cry of the women.
"We have no home tonight." The next
emigrant ship may, in all probability, laud
some of the poor sufferers in Ntw York ; for
to the hospitable shores of America the tin
happy children of Erin turn in their affi c
tions and sorrows. How delighted they will
be to know that the sad story of their griev
ances has preceded them.
A Remarkable Phenomenon. In yes
terday's papr we cbrouicled the doings of
an earthquake, and to-day we have another
tale of wonder to unfold. The scene is laid
at the store of Hall & Warfel, on State
street. Dr. Ilali stood at the desk in his
counting room, which is lighted by means of
a skylight, some 40 feet above. At a few
minutes after 9 o'clock in tho morning, he
was startled by a sharp crash above, which
sounded like dropping a h x of glass and
breaking its contents to Sinters. As Mr.
WarfeJ was iu tbe upper story filling au
order for goods, he supposed that he hud let
some heavy body fall, and looking upward
his eye caught sight of the fractured eky
light. Mr. Warfel heard the noise acd sup
posing it below, raised a window, and look
ing down to the office, asked what was the
matter. Mr. Vm. A. Brown sat in the
office reading, and was also greatly alarmed
by tbe noise, while the doctor's little boy,
playing outside, hearing the report came
running in affright. Een the clerk in front
of the store, some 80 or 90 feet distant, heard
the report very distinctly, and supposing
that a box or two of glass had fallen down
stairs. The youDg man proceeded at once
to the top of the building, and found a small
pebble, or the half of one which had been
nearly broken, lying near the fractured glass,
and, upoo looking further, discovered the
other portion from which it had been sepa
rated, about ejght feet away, whither it had
bounded. The two pieces fitted exactly, nnd
must have bepn the agent which produced
the crash. The skylight ' is composed of
strips of glass some six feet long, one foot In
width and plump three-eighths of an inch in
thickness. The stone before broken was
about an inch long, five-eighths of an inch
wide, and about three-sixteenths of an inch
thick, weighing only 125 grains. It is near
ly oval in shape, smooth on one side, and a
little jngged on tbe other, as if it has been
in contact with other and smaller pebbles
during the process of formation. Itscompo
silioB seems to bo a fine sand, intermixed
with a metalic substance resembling parti
cles of silver. The glass was broken in the
form of a star, having a large number of
fractures extending outward from the centre.
The doctor believes the stone to be a meteor
ic one, or an aerolite, as he is satisfied that
no one threw it, and if that were the case,
there is no man powerful enough to break
glass of that thickness by throwing upon it
a pebble of that size. Had it struck a per
son on the head it would have killed him
undoubtedly. Erie' Republican, of Saturday.

The Newburyport Herald thus describes
the aurora which baa attracted so much at
tention throughout the country : "Last
evening, as soon as Ttthonua had retired for
the night, and was enjoying his first snooze,
his spouse, the rosy fiogered Aurora, daugh
ter of the morning, snatched the saffron-coverlet
from his bed, and wrapped it around
her, dancing a jig in the northern sky."
The will of a reecently deceased cit
izen of King's county, New York, was filed
in the surrogates office last week, by which
all the "worldly goods, of the departed are
conveyed to his relict in the following strain :

my woriaiy goous 1 nave in store 1 give to
my beloved wife and hers forevermere. I
give aii truly ; I no limit fix. This ia my
will and she is my executrix."
Tbe occupants of a bouse at Kinder
book, N. Y., aid to have been hauuted for
some months past, recently sound a solution
of the mystery in the discovery of ft human
skeleton beneath the flooring of on6 of the
rooms. Previous to the discovery night
was made hideous by groan6. screams, and
tramping of feet through the house, bat
since then, singular enough to say, the
noises have ceased altogether.
A heavy fall of rain has washed away
the few inches of ground with which the
dead of the many battles before Metz were
covered. The many thousands of bodies,
in a fearful state of decomposition, are lying
perfectly bare on the surface, and spread a
horrid stench. This stench is so overpower
ing that it is entirely impossible to fiud men
who can re-cover those wholesale graves with
earth. This cannot but produce horrible
diseases among the troops and the balf
bUrved and shelterless paasantj.

ized, and was refused his vote by the Repub
lican officer on account of an apparent naw

ment, be voted the Democratic ticket. He
is threatened with prosecution, but be threat
ens in return a prosecutiou for depriving
him of his right to vote.

Some days ago the committee appointed
by the St. Louis Medical Society to examine
and report upon the condition of Su&an C.
Goodsye, better knowu as the "Sleeping
Beauty," pronounced the case one of collu
siou aud said Susan was a humbug. Over
twenty of the principal citizens of Hickman,
Kentucky, where Susan lives, unite in a
card stating that they bave been personally
acquainted with the family-fcr upwards of
twenty years, and know by personal knowl
edge that there is no collusion in the case,
and that the girl, daring the period indica
ted, has always been in her present condition.
Diamonds bv tiib Tint. The reports
from the diamond diggings of the Cape of
Good Hope read like a page from Sinbad,
the Sailor. Huts plastered with mud from
the river beds, iu which are embedded gems
of immense value, rough diamonds, worth a
prince's ransom, worn in the gaudy coiffure
.f African belles, aDd traders pockets filled
with the Eame precious jewels, like little
bo3's with jickstones. are among their feat
tires. The digging is most active on the
Yaal and Or;:nge rivers, including a district
a boat as lurge as tbe State of Massachusetts.
The three principal diggings have netted
$5 000.000 up to the present time. The
miners simply go to work when tbey arrive,
and always find their claims pays oat richly.
A reception given by President Brandt, of
the Transvaal Republic, at Bloemfontein, is
described by a correspondent as gotten up
fr the almost express" purpose cf giving the
Yaal river diamonds a regular display.
Sime of the "cou"-t" ladies present appeared
to be aJmost h aded don with diamond-.
One lady in particular tiade a special dis
play of her jewels. Ilerdark hair was rolled
and puffed, and fairly studded with bril
liants. She wore ring clusters outside of
her white kids, and goU bracelets, with gal
axies of starry gems. On her bosom she
wore a single brilliant valued at 11,000.
The heavy flounces of her dress were looped
up all round and fastened with clusteis of
the same precious jewel?. A person might
have walked behind her in the crowd and
plucked whole fortunes from her person by
the handful.
TriE Ei.fction. The election is over, and
the Democrats hereabouts are rejoicicg, ond
tbe Republicans trying to cypher out the
causes which led to the unexpected over
throw in the Congressional and Senatorial
contests. A very prevalent cause of such
reverses, or miscalculations is a lack of votes.
Just why there was a lack of votes is not
so readily solved. In reference to tbe Con
gressional contest, the result is almost as
astonishing to the Democrats as the Repub
licans. It is well known there tvas consid
erable open opposition to Mr. Morrell in his
own party, and aiso much lukewarm sup
port on the part of many Republicans; but
it was also known that be would receive
Democratic votes, and his election was con
sidered certain. Resting upon a certainty,
his friends were not as active as they should
have been, and they are now awakened to
the fact of his defeat by only 11 votes, a re
sult they might have changed by five minutes
work. Ailoona Tribune.
TriE Recent Earthquake On Thursday
last there were manifestations of subterrane
ous convulsions in New York, New Epgland,
and the British possessions in the Nortji.
The phenomenon was similar at.d simulta
neous at all points. The shock was first
felt at about a quarter past eleven in the
morning, and was accompanied by running
noise, the rocking of buildings and a gentle
movement of the earth. The area covered
by this earthquake extends from Lnke Erie
to the Atlantic Ocean, including all the
regim from Cleveland. Ohio, down Lakes
Erie and Ontario and the river St. Lawrence
to Montreal, and from Hew York along the
Atlantic coast to Bangor, Me., and perhaps
still further north. Iu fact, it may be re
garded as bounded on tbe south by a line
drawn from Cleveland to New York, which
places are almost on the same parallel of
latitude ; on the west by the waters cf Lakes
Erie and Ontario and the river St. Lawrence,
and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean.
Cure tor the Toothache. Dr. Henry
T. Reynolds, of Baltimore, writes to the ed
itor of the Medical News, that, for eighteen
months he has been using acetate of lead
(sugar of lead), as a remedy for toothache.
He finds it better than any of the numerous
remedies produced in the books, aud in cases
in which it is applicable, the relief is instan
taneous. He advises the sufferer to apply
from one to three grains to the cavity for a
moment or two, then spit it ont. It fails in
fewer cases than any remedy that Dr. Rey
nolds ever tried, not more thaa eight per
cent.
