This admirable narrative (which we believe
is strictly true in all its part) we earnestly
commend to the attention of our readers. It Is
transferred from Chambers' Edinbnt.t Journal
into that excellent Miscellany, Littell . Living
Age. What a different world we ahoo1 have,
it there were but one John Pound in ever vil
lage hamlet, and a few in every city ward. How
the poor cripple shames the learned and the
wealthy I The man with the poor fraction of
a talent docs more for fellow creatttrea than he
who is endowed with ten talents! What
lcaeon i given to rich and poor, by poor and yet
rich lohn Pound. Are there none to go and do
likewise! We beg every reader, at least to
read this story.
One day, in passing along the streets of Lon
don, I was arrested by a crowd at a print-shop
window. It is perhaps not altogether 'respecta
ble' to be seen forming one of such assemblages;
but every man has his failings, and one of mine
is, to takes peep at any very nice-looking prints
which the sellers of there articles considerately
put in their windows lor the public amusement.
On the present occasion, in taking a survey of
'the prinujcller's wares, I was much interested
in observing a print which differed considerably
from anything else in the window. Hanging
between en opera dancer and a general both
pets of the public was the representation of an
old cobbler sitting professionally in his booth,
with s shoe in one hand and a knife in the other,
while with spectacles turned up over liis brow
and head averted, he was apparently addressing
a ragged urchin who stood beside him with a
book. In the back-ground waaa miscellaneoua
collection of books, lasts, old shoes, and bird ca
ges, interspersed with the hesds and faces of a
crowd of children the whole forming an unique
combination of a school and cobblery. ' ' Beneath
was the inscription, 'John Pound and his school.'
I was, a I have said, interested, snd I resolved
to know something, if possible of John Pound
and his seminary. On making inquiries accord
ingly, I discovered through the agency of a lit
tle pamphlet, who John Pound was, and what
kind of a school he conducted.
John Pound was born of parents in a bumble
rank of life, in Portsmouth, in the year 1760.
In early life, while working with shipwright
in the dockyard, he had the misfortune to have
one of his thighs broken, and so put out of joint
as to render him a cripple for life. t Compelled,
from this calamity, to choose a new means of
subsistence, he betook himself to the shoema
king cralt. The instruction he received in this
profession, however did pot enable him to make
ehoes, and in that branch of the art he was diffi
dent in trying his hand.' Contenting himself
with the more humble department of mending,
he became the tenant of a weather-boarded te
nement in St, Mary atreet in his native town.
John was a good natured fellow, an! his mind
was always running on some scheme of bene
volence; and, like all other benevolent 'self
helpful people, he got enough to do. While
still a young ., man, he waa favored with the
charge of one of the numerous children of hia
brother ; and, to enhance the value of the gift,
the child waaa feeble little boy, with hia feet
overlapping each other, and turned inwards.
Tho poor child waa an object of much affection
with John, aa thoroughly to divide hia attention
with a variety of tame birds which he kept in
a stall. Ingenious a well as kind-hearted he
did not rest till he had made an apparatus of old
shoes and leather, which untwisted the child's
feet, and set him fairly on his legs. The next
thing was to teach hia nephew how to read, and
this he undertook also as a labor of love. Alter
a time, he thought the boy would learn much
better if he had s comnanion--in which, no
doubt, he was right, for solitary education is not
a good thing and he invited a poor neighbor to
send him hia children to be taught. This invi
tion was followed by others t John acquired a
passion fur gratuitous teaching, which nothing
but the limits of hia booth could restrain. 'His
humble workshop' to follow the language of hia
memoir, 'was about six .feet wide,, and about
eighteen feet jn length ; in the midst of which
he would si( on bis stool, wi'h his last or lap
stone on hia knee, snd other implements by his
side, going on with, his work, and attending at
the ssme time to the pursuits of tbtf whole as
semblage; some of whom were reading by bis
side, writing from his dictation, or showing up
their auma: others aeated around on forma or
boxes on the floor, or on the step of small
atairease Uj the rear. . Although, the master
knew where to look for each, and to obtain a
due command, over all, vet so small was the
room, and so deficient in the nsual accommoda
tions pf school, that the scene appeared, to the
observer from without, to be a mere crowd of
children's heads and faces. Owing to the limi
ted extent of bis room, he eftcn Mud It neces
sary to make a selection, from among several
subjects or candidate! for. his gratuitous teachi
ing, and in such places lwyg preferred, and
rr ded himself with taking in hand what be cal;

quay, and bold put to them the bribe of a roast
ed potsto, to induce them to come to school.'
When the weather permitted he caused them
to take turns in sitting on the threshold of his
front-door, and on a little form on the outside,
for the benefit of fresh air. , His modes of tui
tion were chiefly of disown devising. With
out having ever heard of Peetalozzi,. necessity
led him into the interrogatory system. He
taught the children to read from hand-bills, and
such remains of old school books as he could
procure. Slatea and pencils were the only im
plements for writing, yet a creditable degree ot
skill wss acquired ; and in Cyphering, the Rule
of Three and Practice were performed with
accuracy. ' Wi'.h the very young especially, his
manner was particularly pleasant and facetious.
He would ask them the names of different parts
of their body, make them spell the words, and
tell their uses. Taking a child's hsnd, he would
ssy, what is this ! Spell it.' Then slspping
it, he would say, 'What do dot , Spell that.;
So with the ear, and the act of pulling it; and
in like manner with other thing He found
it necessary to adopt more strict discipline
ss they grew bigger, and might have become
turbulent but he invariably pressed the attach
ment of all. In this way some hundreds ot per
sons have been indebted to him for all the school
ing they have ever had, which has enabled ma
ny to fill Useful and creditable stations in life,
who might otherwise, owing to the temptation
tendsnton poverty and ignorance, have become
burdens on society, or swelled the calendar of
crime. .
Will the reader credit the furt, that this ex
cellent individual never sought any compensa
tion for these labors, nor did ho ever receive
any. Of no note or account, his weather-boarded
tenement was like a star radiating light a
round : but ' of the good he was doing John
scarcely appeared conscious. The chief grati
fication he felt was the occasional visit of some
manly soldier or sailor grown op out of all re
membrance, who would call to shake hands snd
return thanks for what ho had done for him in hia
infancy. At times, also, he waa encouragingly
noticed by local authoritiea ; but we did not
hear of any marked testimony of their approba
tion. Had he been general, and conquered a
province, be would have been honored accord
ngly ; being only an amateur achooltoaster, and
a reclaimer from vice, John waa allowed to find
full weight of the proverb, that virtue ia it own
reward. And thus obscurely, known principal
ly to his humble neighbors, did this here for
waa he not a hero of the purest order! spend
a long and youthful exiatence ; every selfinh
gratification being denied, that he might do the
more good to others. On the morning ot tho
1st of January, 1839, at the age of seventy-two
years, when looking at the picture of hia school,
which had been lately executed by Mr- Sheaf,
he suddenly fell down and expired. Hia death
waa felt severely. 'The abode of contented and
peaceful frugality became at once a sccno of de
solation. He and his nephew had made provi
sion on that day for what waa to them a luxuri
ous repast On a little mantlepiece remained
uncooked mugful of fresh spirts, on which
they were to have regaled themselves in honor
of the new yesr. The children were overwhelm
ed with consternation and sorrow i some' of
them came to the door next day, and cried be
cause they could . not be admitted , and for se
veral succeeding daye, the younger ones came
two or three together, looking about the room,
and not rinding their friend, went away discon
solate.' : John Pound waa, aa he had wished,
called away, without bodily suffering from his
uselul labors. He is gone to await the reward
of Him who baa said, 'Insomuch as ye did it un
to the least of these, ye did il unto me.' '

A man of standing and property, ' named
Major ' Wm. W "'' , of Connection!,' Wss
blessed with a family of kind, intelligent, obrdi
ent sons. Two of them the eldest and best
beloved early- received each hia portion, and
took their several ways to d intent portions of
the country, intent upon establishing themselves
in the world, and Carving out their own for
tunes. They were each possessed of en ex
celleat Common 'echool-Conncticnt ' common
tchon1-cducation ; and were well calculated
to 'nuke their Way in the world.'
Tliey departed with a father's and a mother's
blessing resting upon them, and wero remem
bered, with tears, and earnest hopeful supplies
tions before tbe throne of mercy, ere their first
day's journey was ended. ' '
A period of nine yesrs rolled rapidly by,
and among the innumerable changes wrought
during that time, waa tho removal of Major
W 'i from the land of steady habits glo
rious, fondly remembered, ever loved Connecti
cutto the far west' a- comprehensive term,
which means any locality between Western
New York and the Pacific Ocean.
He was a man of sterling character ) a true
New Knglander; intelligent persevering, lion
est, ehrvwed, and withal a little ambitious.
The major dabbled much in politics,' and being
a good practical writer and speaker, in a yesr
or two revolutionized the country in which
he was settled. Gratitude and political pov
er rewarded him first with a seat ir. the State
Legislature, snd second with the sheriffalty.
A better sheriff than Msjnr W that
county had never been favored with. During
the first year of his sdininietration the salutary
effects of his perseverance and good counsels
were seen and felt.. .,
During the second yesr of liias official lilo, a
notorious voga bond, known through the country
aa Bill Winchelera, it a Caulkins, alias Ford,
and ball dozen other assumed - oa men, after a
course of petty crimes, repealed convictions
and escspes, waa at length charged, w,ith the
perpetration of a foul inuder. A widow, who
resided a mile or two from the county town,
who was reported wealthy, was found early one
morning in June lying upon the floor ol her
barn, a few rode from her house, with her throat
cut and her body awfully mangled with an axe.
It waa known that Winchelsea tmd been at
the house late the evening previous, and thai
he declared he would lodge there that night.
Sin as the murder was discovered, Krsrch wss
made for him, and he could nowhere be found,
Suspicion naturally settled upon him, and the
hue and cry was given.
Sheriff W sent out his deputies and a
6trong posse, and accidentally receiving imfor
matron which led him to believe the murderer
had fled down the Mis'isppJ, instantly set out
alone In hot pursuit. He traced what he be
lieved to bo the 'trail' of the miscreant down as
far da St. Louis, and there lost it entirely, and
gave up the chae as fruitless "As he was
preparing to return, he was taken suddenly in
of a fever, and for many weeks lay in a halt de
lirious and very critical atate)' t the end of
that time he- began to convalesce, and ere long
recovered so far as to be ablo to return home,
During bis absence,' Winchelsea had been
apprehended, tried, convicted, upon proof n
positive that the jury found a verdict of tiuilty
of wilful murder' without leaving the box, and
sentenced to the ignominious death of the scaf
fold. -
Major W reached home on the day
appointed for the execution. Being yet feeble,
he begged to be relieved from the painful duty
of hanging tho poor wretch, and it according
ly fell upon one of his deputies. ''?
The hour fixed upon for (he dreadful murder
which the law haa legalised came around. ' At
that moment a messenger arrived to hiforni Ma
jor W. that tho deputy had fallen upon the
scaffold in an apoplectic fit, and Unit the execu
tion stayed his arrival. There waa no alterna
tive. : The Sheriff, though' weak, anil totally
unfit for the terrible task, ielt it to bo his duty
to promptly obey the summons,
In a few minutes a rqlfing, heavy hum, and
an unusual commotion, in the ranks of the thou
sands gathered to behold tie shameful death ol
a fellow creature, gave evidence of the. arrival
of the sheriff.. , The culprit was dressed lor the
grave, the , fatal rope encircled bia neck, tbe
cap, drawn over bia face by the deputy before
the fit took biw, at hia request, remained aa it
bad been adjusted, ,j A briet prayer wasoflored
up to God in behalf of tha pout wretch, whose

sheriff then 4ook hire by the band and bade
him farewell. ' Alt ' thinga 1 were hushed , to

Carefully observed, collected and arranged
facts constitute the basis of all science.. Such
tails are rapidly establishing the scientific treat
ment of deass by water. . Such facts are de
monstrating the vastly important truth,, that
water, used with a discreet holdoess and per
severing energy, in accordance with. tho Irue
principlea of physiology and judicious, discri
mination in varying coixhli'Sifj, is a. UMVEKSAfc

ed by the writer. !
More than fifteen years ago he commenced
the following treatment in rssea of fever: The
patent stood or sat in a huge tub, two personn,
one beloro, the othet behind, each armed
with a bucket of cold water, made a simulta
neous dash upon liis breast' and shoulders.
Without drying the surlace, he was wrapped in
blankets, put into lied and sweated. ,When
the fever returned, the duxh was repealed, or
resort was had to cold ablutions. . Frequent and
very copious injection of tepid water were
found of much efficacy in the relief of those
distresxinc and oppressive feelings which coo
stilule so much of a lover net ient's misery. .. The
patient waa enjoined to drink largely of cold
water, and cold wet cloths were kept applied
to the burning leet, instead of stimulating them
with mustard poultieus. But JitUe medicine
was used, yet the practice was far more suc-
cenefol than any the writer had ever witnessed.
In 1S&) the wife of the undersigned , was
so violently attacked with inflammatory rheuoia.

excruciating lo an almost intolerable degree.
The writer had theui immersed in a tub of cold

kept pouring on them for hours. In two diy$,

scquainted willt the, wonderful euro of Eliza ,
Ann Dclotig, formerly of Oswego, and now of. r
Palermo, in this County: Tho account f -had
from hef and her physician a few daye ago. She- 1
was a smart active woman of ssy twenty fivor '
with three children; when ' by overdoing eh" ;
fell into an extreme state of wen knees and waa''' '
bedrid two years ; tho' last year ahe was tinabh''
to turn herself in her bed, or speak a lottd word ;
she had the best physicians, both botanic and 1
mineral, but all did no good ; her most esteen -ed
physician told her, evtcfent medicine ,
can do you no good, Ivi 1 perhaps good nnrsinf!
may" She employed a nurse of extraordinary
intelligence and firmness, who told her in tho
outset, ''you are doing npood here,,! will 'ki"
or cure you.'." .."That is what I want," said
liza. , . Her feet liad been so cold Uiat she hail
hot bricks put to them almost the , whole year.
About April 1st, ISLj, the nurse commenced bv .
brushing her all over and giving her eggs and .
wine, but it produced but little effect ; ahe then -,
took her in her arms and placed her in a tub of
cold water from a well, and kept her there five
minutes, and poured water over her ;' ahe then
put her to bed, covered her up warm, and made
her keop her hands and feet straight for a few
minutes ; her sufferings were so great that it
seemed as if she could not survive it, but a Pier n
time her feet became warm. Site was put in
the water three daya in succession and then '
missed three ; on the fourth morning ol show
ering in the tub, she jumped out of the tub and
ran tq her bed of her own accord ; in three
weeks sho dismissed her nurse, her husband
eliowering after that limn ; since , August she
has done her own work, and has aa good henlth
aa people in general. As soon ss her blood bc
gsjn to circulate in her limbs her voice return
edr and she now speaks as loud and clear as a
nybtsiy. ' I might have mentioned before, to tho '
praise of the nurse, that she persevered BtniiUt '
the most dismal cries ol the neighbors, who kept
continually saying "she will certainly kill Mrs,
Delonp t" but she' cheered ' her on with the
watch ward "kill or core," and to the heroim
and skill of her intrepid nurse she owes her pre-'
sent good health.' One strange thing, however,
remains to ,be told. ' Eliza now makes nri use nf
the coldbatfi; it had scarcr'f occurred to hr-r
mind that cold water , was as good to prevent
sickness es to lure it. Oiice 6he stayed in the
tub fifteen minutes, but it was too long. In con
elusion, allow me to say that I am convinced
that a firm reliance upon the power of God in
souls, w ill produce an entire change eventually
in law, physic and divinity, and that minium!
will become far more peaceful and healthier and
happier than they now are ; and cannot but
think that the Cold Water Journal will contri
bute its mite to produce this desirable event.

not to be understood as addmtiting that tho usu
of water is in aoy caso necessarily a 'kill or
cure''' treatment While it ia susceptible ot
being made a most powerful means in one way,
in another it niny be made the mildest that can
be; and by observing a few plain common sense
rules, the treatment may be carried on in pow
erful applications without tha least danrrr.
