Thorn is n prescription in u-e in England for the cuie of drunkenness, by which thousands are said to have assisted in re covering themselves. It it H g follows, j Sulphate of ifon, Cyi grains ; peppermint water, eleven druchnit; spirit of nutmeg, one drachm; tqioa ft day. This prepara tion acts as a stimulHlit and tonic, and par tially supplies tho (dace of the accustomed 1 liquor, and prevents that absolute phyti-. cal and moral prostration that follows a sud den breaking from tho use of stimulating! drinks. One thousand men are thrown out ol employment by the t: fpi.g- o. the lumber mills at Williamsport ahd Lock Haven for want of stock The supply of logs cannot be renewed until there is A freshet in the river.
