valuable life of
. the Emperor saved. The

REfiEtiir Fog CIIOLERA.—The following
extract from the letter of a clergyman to the
Lord lieutenant of Ireland presents a very
simple, and he says, effectual preventive of
cholera, as well as myemedy of great power.
The preventiVe is simple--a teaspoonful
of powdered charcoal taken three or four
times a week, in a cup of coffee or other
liquid, in the . morning. When attacked
with cholera, a mixture of an ounce of char
coal. an ounce of laudanum, and an ounce
d brandy or other spirit's may be given,
as follows, after being well shaken : A
teaspoonful every five minutes. In half an
hour I have-kuovia-this-effeetually to relieve
and stay the disease. As the patient becomes
better, the mixture may be given at longer
intervals. I have known a patient in the
blue stage, and collapsed ; -perfectly recovered
in a few hours..
The charcoal was tried as a preventive
on a large plantation in the Mauritius, and
but a single individual out of eight hundred
was lost.

teriously disappeared, and no trace of her
could be found. A — few days ago , having
occasion to remove the straw, th sow was
found tindefneath, standing erect, nod still
alive, though wasted away to a skeleton.—
She was about si* feet from the surface of
the pile in the nearest directions and had
worked a small cavity in the straw around
her. She had been , thus buried four months,
less four days. At last account, shn was do

LYNCH LAW.-A letter in the Ailiaii
Democrat gives the partieulars of the hang
ing of •five men by the people of J'ersesy
county, Illinois; for horse stealing. The
Mack administration of justice against this
class of offenders; and the
.persistent refusal
of grand yu'riestY indict them, appears to
have infuriated the people, and determined
them to
. take the matter into their own
hands. The opportunity arrived, and was
employed most effectively. The citizens
declare that they have not yet finished, but
that - th- -- mem who
Ala, Acre are Are() more men who must
be killed. There appears to have been no
effort on the part of the authorities to arrest
the bloody undertaking.

The Grecian Puff.
OP the many elegant articles now in use for the
porpose of adorning the heads of our "modern
beauties" the Grecian Puff is certainly the most
beautiful and attractive; although a very recent in.
vention it has nevertheless already been deemed by
many noble ladies one of the "indisponsables" to a
complete toilet. As regards its origin we think it
dates back many centuries, for Athens fair maidens
were want to wear their resplendent dark tzesses,
magnificently braided, and adorned with precious
jewels. As an ornament to the head, it has been
acknowledged by many persons of refined tastes to
be supremely beautiful, delicate in construction and
perfect in symmetry ; it cannot fail to gain the ad
miration of beholders. Most thankful for past pa.
tronage we 'cordially invite all those who wish to a•
vail themselves o(the Present opportunity of sole
ing "Puffs" from our immense stock now on ha
to visit our establishment, on Main street, 3d d
south of the Diamond, Ghambersburg Pa.. whe
they can obtain any color desired.
