CANCER CURED.
No diseases hare so thoroughly baffled
the skill of the medical profession as
' cancerous affection* and as thev have ti

been thought disreputable to adopt their
treatment as a specialty ; and hence physi
cians have neglected their proper study.
But of late years new and Important dis
coveries have brought forth a course that
now proves successful in any ot its forms,
with certainly, without the use of the
knife or caustic plasters. We have a

is not poisonous, does not interfere with

The Traitor Before Arnold.
Wcrea child, and possibly, a well edu
cated adult, asked who was the fi/st
traitor to the Kepublicao cause in
America in the war of Die Revolution,
lie would answer Benedict Arnold, says
the Buffalo Cbururr. Much was not the
case, however. Arnold was, perhaps,
the most conspicuous of the traitors,
hut the first man detected in an attempt
to betray his country was Dr. Benjamin
< hiireh of Raynhatn, Mass. For several
years preceding the revolution he was
conspicuous among the leading Whigs.
• >fthe Massachusetts Provincial Congress
he was on active member. At the same
time, while he was trusted as an ardent
patriot, Church was evidently thcsecret
enemy of the Republican*. So early as
1771 he wrote parodies of his own popu
lar aongs in favor of liberty for the Tory
newspapers, ami in September, 1775,
an intercepted letter written by him in
cipher to Major Cain, In Boston, wa 8
deciphered. The case was luid before
llie Continental Congress, and be was
dismissed from the general directorship
of the hospital. He was arrested uii'l
tried by a court maitial at Cambridge on
a charge "of holding criminalcorrespon
dence with the enemy." Ho wa*
confined in jail at Norwich, Conn. In
May, 1776, lie was released on account
of failing health, ami sailed for the West
Indie* in a merchant vessel. Church
wa never heard of afterward.

The St. Louis Jis/iullican says the
mischief has !>een done to the fore-t at
the headwaters of (he rivers, and they
cannot he replaced in a hundred year*,
even if under existing conditions it can
ever he done. We may therefore
recognise these inundations, as annual
probabilities which cannot he prevented.
All that we may do is to prepare for
them—and the question how to prepare
f>r them is the one of practical concern.
But the Rtpuhhran holds they are not
ultogetiier an unmixed evil, and *sy :
Tiie river Nile overflows every year,
| and has done so far age* ; and not only
are no measure* ever taken to prevent
j the inundations, but they are joyously
, welcomed on account of the enriching
j deposit they leave on the ground. They
never do any damage. l>ecaue there are
no farm house* scattered promiscuously
over the country a here, and the few
' village* to lie found are built uponelev.-it
edspots above the reach of the flood".
The richest lands in the West are to te
found along the stream* where they are
subject to overflow, and their fertility i
perpetually maintained by the overflow
sediment. In many case* these rich
districts cannot be piotocted, and. if
! they could, they should not. But when
j the overflow com--* there ought to in

A Cannon to be Uood Without

A new engine of war is being construe

the floor of one of the room* li**n iron
cylinder twenty eight feet in length
and sixteen inches in diameter. It ha*
a bore of four inches diameter In an
other department an air com pressor is
being constructed, which, when com
pleted, will be attached to the cylinder
or tube, and what the inventor confi
dently asserts to be tbs mo*t tremen
dou* engine of war will be oompleted.
Compressed air, at a pressure of three
hundred pounds lo the square inch,
will lake the place of powder, and the
gun is expected to throw a bell or three
pound cartridge a distance of three
miles. Should the gun prove successful
others of s sixa suffioieut to throw one

will be constructed. The gun now in

FIUBTIRO A BAN or RAAW, —It is the
misfortune of Senator Sherman and
other opponents of a new tariff framed
on the lines of the Morrison bill that
they cannot direct their arguments
againt that measure, but must fight
"free trade"—an abstract doctrine not
being put forward at present by any
body. The rate* of duty in the Morrison
bill being in every important schedule
of the tariff a* high aain the Morrill art
of 1862, it i* distinctly a protective
measure, and world* away from free
trade. What Senator Sherman is really
opposed to -and what the people want
—lt a lower tariff: that is to nay. lower
taxes.

A Grout Oil Suit Decided.
Judge Taylor ha* just rendered n de
t cision, at Warren, in tho csseofTolles
' v* llontty, which ho* bten before the
i court several yearn. It involved the
1 title to 050 acrca of valuable oil land in
> the Clarendon field, and the cane ha*
. been complicated with cro*a unit* until
it la acarcely recognizable. Adjustment
wan made extremely difficult by the
inconsistency of some of the main
witnesses. The Judge referred to the
tealimony and dealings of Millspatv and
the two Bughee* in unmeasured terms,
his decision being unfavorable to them
leaving Heatty in possession of the
land, and giving Tolles, or the Like
Shore Oil Company, a money cosidera

Some years before tho late war < Hi*
Burton, a former residctitof Bangor, left
to seek hi* fortunes in the west. He
; drifted to Missouri, where he met an
accomplished young la<iv witli whom he
fell in love. She wa* pleased with him,
but before he made hi* pas.ion known
she move*! to a dis'ant part of the
South.
Al/out this time the war broke out ami
i the two soon lost truxe- of each other. 1
t Burton joined the Union army and wa- i
j wkjii aftx-rwaid wounded, and as it was j
j supposed he would die a b-ttx-r was sent
| txj his mother informing her that be |
j could not liv*. He. however. was bleu.- :
j ex] with a good constitution and r<- '
; covered. He went lovk to hi- regiment I
and w.i* detailed with a company to
; take supplies across tbx; plains. Tl.e
party was attacked by Indian* andeveiy
! man in the forc except himself killed, j
He was to have been slain with the rest. 1
The Indians decided to let him live and ;
txsok him a prison-r to their retreat in
the mountain* of the Southwest. He
gradually rceoverexl frotn wound-le-hi d
received in the encounter, and made J
him*elf agreeable to hi* < aptora and j
• adapted him-olf to their ways of liv• '
I ing.
After lie haxf been in captivity six
month* or more he wa* allowed more
liberty, and now began to watch for a
chance to escape. The Indian* baxl
stxilen a numliei of pxinie-, nnd among
these wasone which Burtxin's practi'-d
I eye showed him was highly bred, swift.
; and with peed nnd endurance. This
; pony was cared for end j*lte*l by Bur
| ton. and he was allowed to ride him.
< Hie xlay he strayxxl y further than
usual, and though not ax< plain ted with
the x-otintry made a dash for liberty.
He rode for three <iays and then began
to see that lie vm getting out of the
hxwtile country. In the distance he saw
a house which he knew must tie in bait
ed by white*. He shouted with joy. i
feeling that he had gained freedom at
last. He knxwked at the door of the
house and a surprise awaited him. It
was opened by the woman whom he
bad loved in tang syne. He was at once
recogoised and received a hearty wel
come. Burton told his adventures and
narrow escape* ta a willing listener.
"Hie. too, told her story. Hbtt had mar
ried a confederate officer, who was
afetrwards killed in battle, and
now she owned the farm she occupied,

Bring in a Southwestern State. Surely
in real life are romances as strange and
more interesting than those wesved by
the fertile brain of the novelist.

oo remember htm ss a < ongress
man, in your time ? "lie was a young
man. sprightly, and would say and do
indiscreet things sometimes. He was
just out of the Mexioao war? had been
a good aokiier. His wife waa a Missouri
lady, you know. Logan married her
over in Boone oounty. I knew him
well. In those days he waa a rampant
secessionist. A rampant aeceaaionsiM,"
the veteran repeated, as he stopped a
few moments to muse oo the transi
tion. "Logan would say in hi* speeches
beforcCongreaa that there couldn't areg
iment march through his district alive
to make war under the United Slates
flag on the South. He raised a regiment

of him he was down in Kentucky
flghting on the other side."
Fitu-oaornr.—Despite its watery sur

exercises commendable philosophy.
When the watergauge marked 69 fee t
