The Cronp enret ty Colli Water.
The Yankee Farmer (llosion) mentions several
r.tes of croup having been cured by the application
of cold wat-r, and pnUishcs an account ef two In
stances in that city in which the experiment was
tried with complete success. In the former of ihess
Cases the patient was a boy three yeats old, had
been subject to to attnrka of the disease from in
fancy. The process of the first experiment of the
kind with this child is thus related by the father:
About fonr o'clock, In the night of dy before
yesterday, we were awakened from our sleep by his
distress. lie was laboring under a severe attack of
the croup, lie breathed with great difficulty, and
fcrmcd almost suffocated. His ceugh was extremely
hoarse and crnupy, and he could hardly speak in a
whisper, ond all the symtoms grew worse rapklly.
We rose immediately, and took him from his bed
and sttipt him, and began to bathe him all over
Willi cold water, bnt most freely about the throat,
head and chest ; and his mother took a vessel of
cold water and poured it upon the back of his neck;
and -llius we continued to bathe him till he became
quite chilly. We rubed him off briskly till his skin
was dry and somew hat excited. Dut as thero was
considerable heat in the throat, we took a napkin,
doubled six or eight times, and wet it in cold water,
and then covered this wiih a dry cloth, and took
him into bed between bis parents.
Almost immediately, when we hrgnn to apply the
cold water, the symtoms began to subside very fast,
and he said, with n grateful tone, that he felt U tter
in the morning, when ho arose; nocroupy symtoms
remained : and, after being bathed and clothed, he
went out, as usual to take his airing before break
fast. Yesterday and totlay, he has showed some
remaining symtoms of a, cold, and has not been so
well as before the attack, but he has played about
tho house, and lccn out aa usual, and has been
incomparably better than he was after any former
attack ; and on neither of these occasions, did the
means used afford him any thing I ke asspecely re-
lief as the cold water did upon this occasion.

Boston, April 2, 1838.
The foregoing statement being published in a
Boston paper, led to the following experiment, and
also the cure made in Rochester, the account of
which was published last week :

daughter, then nearly three years old, took a jour
ney of about thirty miles, to sjicnd a week in the

the littlo girl was attacked with the croup, tho third
night from home. fSlio aroused hrr mother from
sleep by hngirj her around the neck. She could
not speak, and it was with extreme di.Tic.uliy that
she could breathe. I sprang from the bed, and
hastened for a tub, and pail of cold water. I strpped
her, and placed her in the tub, and poured the water
on her freely. We then took her into bed, and
commenced rubbing her briskly with flannel, and
gave her cold water to drink. Sho became better
rapidly, and within one hour we were quietly asleep
again. In the morning, our little girl received her
usual bath, and has continued well to the present
time. M. WlltLLLK.

Burglary ud Murder.
A burghry and murder of the most atrocious
character were perpetrated at St. Louis on the 17lh
ulu A letter from there gives the following account
of the catastrophe : "On tho ICth of April there
was deposited in the warehouse of Collier & Pctlm",
near $GO,000 in specie one young man and a
middle aged one slept in the store. In the middle
of the night the More was entered by burglars, who
murdered two cleiks, Weaver and Jcsso Baker and
set fire to tho house, after having, as il is supposed,
plundered the vaults, in which, it is said, there were
at the time ubout laro hundred thousand dollars.
The building was consumed, also tho roof of an ad
joining house. The goods in the latter weru much
injured by water from the engines. When the
firo was discovered, the fust whoeuteied, found the
elder clerk murdered near the front door, cut up in
the most horrid manner with knife and pistol ; ows
ing to which, it is presumed he made violent ret.ist
anoc. The other waa murdered in his bed asleep.
Ilia remains were not found. Collier & Fettus
have saved scarcely any thing, their papers and
all their bock, it is feared, are consumed, and the
second and part of a thiid warehouse aro entirely

"No clue has yet been discovered as to the mur
derers. In addition to the above two men, another
was killed by the falling tf a wall. One of the in
mates was seen near the door of the store at eleven
o'clock, and it is presumed the villians rushed into
the store past him. They did not succeed in geling
any money it is thought ; as soon as they can gel
to the fireproof it will bo ascertained for certain.
The excitement here is veiy great The populace
would hang any one they could ascertain was en

A melancholy instance of the uncertainty of cir
cumstantial evidence occurred at Gibraltar last Feb
ruary. A wealthy English merchant of thut place,
named James Boxwell, waa convicted upoa that
kind of testimony, of the murder of his own daugh
ter. On proceeding to the place of execution, he
recognized an Englishman named John Keats, who
had been active in procuring his conviction, whom
be forgave for his hostility, aa he desired to die in
peace with all the world. Keats seemed much
affected by this, ond just as the sentence of the
law was about to be executed, cried out. "It is I that
am guilty, and not the convict" A great sensation
was produced by this exclamation, when Keats
came forward and fully confessed his guilt The
tope waa immediately taken from the neck of bis

Tho New Orleana Advertiser has the following
paragraph which goes to explain the mode in which
the lecent impositions on the Banks were practised,
A fellow by the name of Matthew Dracr, depos
ited four sevcial amounts in the Commeicial Bank
of New Oilcans, between a hundred and seven, and
a hundred and twenty dollars, each, on or ubout the
20th of March, and received certificates of deposito
therefor. With this anchor to windward, the
scoundrel obliterated the figures and the words, and
inserted "tweniy-one thousand Mexican dollars," in
the body of the certificate ; and at the bottom, iu
the left hand corner; are the figures $21,000.
The alteration ia not a perfect fae simile of the
original filling .-p, though it is ueai enough to de

The cnterprizing manogers of this company have

Each engine has five boilers thirty inches in dia

feet atroke. The blowing cy lenders are of the ver

Busiutss fourcutiou.
The proposition to hold a business convention at
llarri.burg, on the 25th of the present month, set ms
lo have elicited a very general, indeed, we may say,
an universal approbation. We have not heard
voice unfavorable to the project, and may reasona

neously tome over the spirit of our trade, and allay
the revulsions which have been -so sorely felt by the
business community, crippling the energies of the
aubstantial capitalist, and prostrating or blighting
the hopes of the less steady, but equally meritorious
adventurer, who founded his operations on an un
sullied credit, golden integrity and a never broken
promise.
To enquire into the rent state of ihe multifarious
branches of commerce within the boundaries of the
commonwealth, and their relations with each other,
the tesources which bountiful Providence has so
abundantly and peculiarly implanted in the bosom
of our own territory, with the best means of deve
lopement, and the consideration of plan for future
permanent operation, will be among the most pro
minent subjects presented to the proposed assem
blage.
No community in the state is more deeply inte
rested in the establishment of firm basis for trade,
in every brunch of industry, than our own. The
elements of wealth have been sown in our immedi
ate vicinity with broad cast and bountiful band,
and the luxuriant growth of business requires only
tho fostering and systematic attention of its vota

combined industry.

The Bank or Revrnue Bill
This biil contains twenty-nine sections anJ as it

readers may know lww lo appreciate tiie excellent
vicwa of tho Governor, contained in bis recent mes-
sago to the legislature, returning the bill with his
objections. There are two piovisions in the bill to
which the Governor hid insuperable objections, but
he is willing to forego his own opinion with respect
to many other matters, for the sake of the public
good. The choice of two evils is presented, and he
is obliged to make a selection.
The following are the principal features of this
Hll, which we take from the Pennsylvania Repor
ter:
Sec. 1. Authorises the Governor to negotiate i
loan for $3,100,000, in certificates of $100.
2. Banks to subscribe to it, and then issue $1, $2
and $5 notes to tho amount of subscription.
3. When a holder has $100, he may present it,
and obtain a certificate.
4. Banks to receive an interest of one per cent
foi their trouble.
5. Banks complying with the law, to be cleared
from paying tax on dividends.
C. Bank charters lo be forfeited, if they do not
comply with the law.

The bill having bees, returned with the objections
of the Governor, which related principally to tho
1 7th section, it passed the senate by constitution
al majority, but failed in the honse. After its re
jection Mr. Titus moved a reconsideration, on which
he was seconded by Mr. Weaver. Tho motion was
agreed to, and the whote subject postponed till to
morrow. Another bill being before tho house, Mr.
Luk moved to amend it, by inserting the Revenue
Bill which had been vetoed, with a modification of
the 17th section, obviating the objectionable features
in the bill. Mr. Lusk's amendment was so amend
ed, as to repeal all the penalties against the bank
(excepting as to the United States Bank) until the
10th May, 1811.
The bill as amended passed tho hone, 49 to 41,
and was sent to (he senate for concurrence, where it
will no doubt pans.
Tassaqe cf the Bank and Bcvcnnc Bill.
Since the above was in type wi have direct in
formation from the seat of government, that the
Bank and Revenue Bill, which was under re-consideration
on the 4 th inst., had passed the House ol
Representatives by the constitutional majority. As
it had previously passed the Senate by a similar ma
jority, the bill of course has bcco.ne a law without
the signature of the Governor.
By ihe list of yeas snd nays below it will be seer
that thirteen of the democratic memltcrs voted foi
the bill. The enlightened constituents of thesr
gentlemen ought not to pronounce judgment upoi
them hastily, but loying aside party prcju.lice, in
form themselves well of, and calmly consider all th
circumstances under which they acted. We hav.
not room for further remarks at present, but wd
hereafter allude to tin subject more in detail.

More Indium Troubles.
Advices from Wisconsin, under date of April 1
are, that large bodies of Sioux were gathering
the neighborhood of Fort Snelling, with intent,
was supposed, of making an attack upon it. One
the tribe, it seem, being drunk and disorderly wii
in the limits of the garrison, and resisting an
tempt to remove him, waa shot down ; hence t
hostile aspect of tho tribe. Two companies fr.
Winnebago and Crawford had been ordered
Fort Snelling.

a late date say a : "Wa hope soon to learn, th
in the East, no ships will be required but those
our merchants ; and we anticipate nothing 1
than a speedy and satisfactory termination of
vexatious differences with the United States. S
it is prudent to keep en eye upon our defences
order that we may have as accurate a measure
possible of the extent of our own means, as c
pared with (hose which might, at the worst,
brought against us."
