HUNTINGDON, PA.
Wednesday morning, Dec. 30, 1863.
.1.0 CAC PERSONAL,
Another Young Sadler Gone.— The
remains of SOLIN A. Conmx, son of
Ferdinand Corbin, of this place, wore
brought home on Tuesday last, and
interred on ThulSday. Young Cor
bin was a member of Capt. Fee's com
pany, 2.2 d Pa. Cavalry, and while out
oh lAcket ditty in Loudon Valley, Va.,
On the 16th iiist., was shot, as it is
supposed, by guerrillas, as ho was
dead when found and stripped of his
clothing. Young Corbin would have
been 19 years old on the 2.3 d of next
month, about the time his term of ser
vice would have expired.
LEAP YE UL---The year of our Lord
one thousand, eight hundred and sixty
four, will be Bissextile . or Leap Year.
It is so called because it leaps over a
dny more in the short mouth of Febru
ary than in a common year ; thus in
common years there are 365 days, in
leap year 366. It is said that during
this year, more bachelors commit ma
trimony than in the other three, and
for this several reasons have been as
signed. Caring nothing about reasons,
we hope the halt may commence roll
ing early it; the year, and continuo
until thousands shall be able to say in
the language, of Shakspeare
She is mine own ;
And I as having sueli a Jewel
As twenty seas if all their sands were pearl,
The Waters Nectar, and the rocks'puro Gold.
CURISTMAS.—Friday last was spent
in a cheerful manner by the citizens
of this locality. Old and young were
unusually joyous on that day, and ma
ny were sorry that it was so soon gone,
to leave them in the assurance that
the best of earthly pleasures must have
an end. The children, as usual on
this holiday, paraded the streets at
early morn, to receive their annual
gifts of sugared cakes, baked in every
shape from chickens, horses, and other
animals,up to a man; the middle-aged,
after enjoying themselves in giving
and receiving presents, whiled a while
away in the healthy and merry sport
of skating; and even some of the older
ones, who would they were boys again,
gave some trials of their skill on ice,
long since neglected, much to the merri
ment and astonishment of the erowdb
of_ spectators.
JIIITENIL.ES, ATTENTrON

made at our book store on New Year's
day, and the young folks are requested
to be present at 9 o'clock in the morn
ing, when the distribution will emu

tnence.
gel. The distribution of gifts to the
juveniles at Lewis' Book Store on
Christmas day was a perfect success.
The notice given was short, but short
as it was, over three hundred and fifty
reported during the day, received their
presents, returned home, some pleased
and some disappointed. There is life
and music where there are 'two or
three hundred merry juveniles. A
lively time may be expected at the
same place on next Friday.
KEEP THEM Waum.—A distinguished
medical gentleman says that diseases
of the chest are early contracted by
exposure to the cold without sufficient
clothing. The greater portion of chit
dren from one to fifteen months old,
who die in winter, are killed by the
cold, or diseases resulting from cold.
Woolen flannel is recommended as the
best clothing to be worn next the skin
in our climate, at least - for nine months
in the year. If parents would pro.
serve the health and lives of their little
ones, they should keep them warmly
clad, especially about the chest and
feet. Woolen socks should be adopted,
lbr cold feet are almost always the
cause of catching cold.
7e1 6 Persons wishing to economize
in clothing their children, will do well
to try metal tipped shoes. Children
invariably - wear out their shoos at tho
too first. Metal tips never wear out
at the toe, and a pair of tipped shoos
at an additional cost of a few cents,
will more than outwear three pair of
the same quality without them—Bos

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.—This being
our last issue for the present year, we
take pleasure in returning thanks for
favors received during the year, and
wish all our patrons, old and young,
a Happy Nov Year.
Correspondence with Legislative and
' Executive Departments.
Washington, Dec. 22.--It has been
erroneously stated that all letters to
members of Congress must be prepaid.
The transmission and receipt of mail
matter by them continues as heretofore
under the franking privilege, namely,
free. All correspondence, however,
addressed to any Executive Depart
ment, or any officer of it, must now be
prepaid, excepting official communica
tions written by some officer of the
Department or an officer under its con
trol, or responsible to it, and in such
cases, under the words, "Official busi
ness" on the envelope, the officer must
sign his name with his official designa
tion.

Diphtheria—A Sure Cure of this Ter
rible Disorder.
(From the Miseouri Danacrat.l
. Please publish. the—following trent
meta of diphtheria. It has been used
by myself, and others to whom I have
given it, in over one thousand cases,
without a failure. It will always
cure, if the treatment is commenced
before the diphtheria membrane ex
tends into the air tubes, which is
known by the great difficulty of breath.
ing and restlessness. In such eases, no
remedy yet discovered will always ef
fect a cure; but if the patient is watch
ed, and the treatment used in time,
there is no danger.
I sent this treatment to a friend of
mine in Wisconsin, and he used it on
himself' and family, and neighbors,
with such wonderful success that he
requested me to send it to you for
publication, as this horrible disease is
prevailing extensively in parts of Mis

DIPHTHERIA WASH
Golden seal, pulverized, 1 drachm
Borax,
Black pepper,
Alum,
Nitrate potash,
Salt, (4 2 "
Put all into a common-sized teacup
or vessel which holds about four oun
ces, and pour half full of boiling water,
stir well, and thou fill full of good vin
egar. Fit for use when it settles.—
Make a swab by getting a little stick
about the size of a pipestem, notelVone
end, and wrap a string of cotton cloth
around it, lotting the cloth project a
bout half an inch beyond the end of
the stick, so as not to jag the mouth
and throat, and fasten with a thread.
Swab the mouth and throat well ev
ery half hour if the case is bad, every
hour if not bad. W.ben the patient
gets better, every two hours; then
when better, every four hours; and
when still better, two or three times
day, till well, which will be from two
to seven days. Touch every affected
spot, the uvula, tonsils, and fauces, the
whole of the hack part of the mouth
and top of the throat; and let the pa
tient swallow a little of the wash each
time you swab. Swabbing causes no
pain, though the patient will gag, and
sometimes vomit; but swab well, and
a feeling of relief will follow every
swabbing.
Let every patient have a separate
swab and wash, as the disease is un
doubtedly infectious. Keep the wash
pu-c by pouring what you can use,
each time, into another vessel, and al
so wipe off any matter or slime that
may be an the swab, every time you
take it from' the mouth. -
Rub the fallowing liniment on the
throat, ontside, once every three or
four hours, and keep a flannel cloth
round the neck till well :
Take spirits turpentine, ono ounce.
Take awed oil, (or linseed oil,) ono
ounce. Take aqua ammonia, (mix,)
one ounce. Shako before using oath
time. Keep the bowels regular with
castor oil.•
Keep the patient in the house, but
ventilate well. The diphtheria wash
and liniment will be found sufficient
for all cases, if taken in ti. - ne; and
should you mistake any other "sore
throat" for diphtheria. you will effect
a cure almost invariably, as I use
this for all common sore throats. I
have never lost a case, and many have
told me that no money would induce
them, in these "diphtheria times," to
be without the wash and liniment;
and when a soreness in the throat is
felt, it is used, and a cure is always ef
fected.
