T HE Subscriber having anticipated the publication of his MEDICAL POCK ET BOOK, prepared expressly for the South ern States, but, being disappointed in publish ing it as a book, now proposes to issue the work in sheets, twice a month, until the whole work.shall be completed. Each number will comprise 32 duodecimo pages, on excellent paper. making, when completed, about 300 or 350 pages. This method has been adopted because it is the cheapest and safest mode by which the work can be delivered to subscribers. The principles of Medicine, Disease, Prac tice, and theory. so far as relates to the Botanic remedies, are full and comprehensive. In fact, the Medical Pocket Book is so arranged as to render every man, or head of a family qualified to act as their ewn physician. In urging the POCKET BOOK upon the pubic, he deems it only necessary to state, that (not as heretofore.) the work will be free from Mysterions Technicalities-and, tit all the light within the reach or comprehiensidft of the writer, has been plainly set forth. Disease' wvith the various treatments. preparatrions for, and application to. are rendered so easy no one who reads can fail to comprehend. This course has been pursued in all the divisions of the work, particularly in Anatomy, which is con densed from volumes of seven and eight hun dred pages. downu to a compass of, tperhais, be twveenr thirty and fifty pages-embracing the major, nnd most important functions, internal and external, of the human lframne. It wvill be found to answer the purpose for which it is designed. and its adaptation to all classes. ages and sexes-and will prove to, be a cmnpamion to all who may constult its pages either thco retical or- practical. The following is the order in which the sev eral parts of the wvork will appear. and the difierent subjects that will be therein contained: viz. 1.

He is since deceased.

For ourselves we saty noting.- E. ..Hl. Messrs. Editor's:-l am about to give you a few remarks of my experience, on-a stiieet ott which, I have tno doubi. y'our self anid most of your readers will *bo as inmed~ulous us I was at ontimie. You shali have the facts as I tmyself wvitnesaedl thetm, or knew thetm to take place. I will not ptetend to assign any cause, or give a reasoin why such things are~, btt leave every oneO to do so for himself. My subject is that of certain individuals beitig able to fiod and point out the exact spot where an under-current of water flows,. as she best poitnt fur diggitng a well ; and of their also being abtle somnetmes tostate the precise depth at n hich the water will he fo~und. Snch persons nre generally knowit atd spoken of int Ketntucky as "Wuter The- first instance of which f wiif speak is tii. As early as 1840. wvheni salt, as it is welI knowni was searce atnd high in this then ntew~ cotutry, tn ot twelve tneighibors of tus entered into ati agreetment to sendl for a "water nitch." who had already lhe come tnted ont thiesombi sidle of the Ken tucky river-by namtze, David Cook-and have him'searebh fair a spring of salt wva ter ott our resp~ective latnds, and wherever he should determinte as the best spoit there we were to dig at our joinit expense, and divide the salt wve should mtake. I had no faith whattever in any thling of the kind, though some of the othere hadl. Cook came ; he lived 100 miles from my pliuce. All the company met at tmy house-, .'md aifter Cook had prepared his 'divi- ing rod,' tve went ont. This rod wvas a forked neach tree twig.; the. forks about two feet long. Grasping the points of the rod in each hand, bending them outwards sufficiently to allow-a firm hold, the jpoints wtoards the thumbs; the plahn of the hands being turned up, and the point of the fork -also directed upwards-he walks steadily along over the ground to be examined,:until. as he nears a vein of water, the rod begins'to tremble in his hand.; as, he approaches more elosely to the spot beneath which it flows, the rod, of itself, turns downwards; end, as he walks past the spot, it gradu ally rises again, and will turn so far tack ward as to, rest against his breast. The rod evidently turns, not by the agency of ,he holder. us it will twist so as to sepa rate the bark entirely from the wood, even twisting the woad around as in making a witl.e;. in fact, if held petfeetly tight it would be apt to break. Cook, when he went into my yard, held up his rod, and at once-seemed to decide on the course to take. He walked steadily onwards, in the direction of a deer. lick about a quarter of a mile from the-house ; when within abou-t forty or fifty yards. of the lick-which, however, from the brush abnou: it, could not possibly. be seen--the rod pointed do?!pwards, and he told us that there was the spot to dig for salt water. I drove in at that spot a black locus( peg. leaving its top about two inches under ground, and marked the sten of a spice bush whici Stood within eighteen inches of it. He traced the vein of water to its source, but retured to my peg, stating that to be the ies't spot. In answer to the doubts I ex pressed; Cook gave me the rod in my own ands. and standing behind me, he took 2ne of my naked wrists in: each of his iands. We walked about thus in various lirections, but the stick did not move un il we crossed the vein, when it pointed .ownward-most a turedly without any agency of mine! Still I was ae- utbe ievcr. This was in May; between then and the Deitber following' cire6ttmstances ind oc :urred to prevent us sinking a well-in Jeed we had given tp all thoughts of doing to. About this time, there came along by ny, house another water-wttch, by the iaae of Moses Scott, who had never been >n my farm. lim I resolved to put to the est ; and, having stated to hitt the result )f Cook's search, he told me he could find he identical spot. This he actually did, iter I had taken hit, by a circuitous oute, half a tmile beyond the vein of wsa er! lie turned back, and followed a per rectly straight course until he crossed the vein, which he traced until he pointed out o me the sate spot where Cook's peg Was buried, and found the peg itsell! [his, too, in a spice-wood thicket, with a rututners growth added to it since our ormer search. I might give you several other equally ingular instances which came under my )bservation, but will not have rootm fur ore than one. This occurred about ten years ago, on the farm, in the lower part of Ad Campbell Co., which 1 sold last year o Mr. Cleveland. I found it necessary to dig a well, and o:mnenced doing so. I went on until I tad incurred an expense of one hundred lollars, and gone to a depth of over fifty eet, without success. I now thouv'ht I etter try a water-witch ! I tried i neigh or of my own, John Arnold, (a brother of squire Arnold. of Covington.) lie pointed it a spot in another part of my yarn. There I again sunk a locust peg, which was also designmted as the proper spot for good well by another witch, of the name >f Smith, who had -no knowledge of Ar old's hling selected it. I dug there, and ound one of the finest wsellseof vater ia the utstrict, at a deptht of thirty feet. What adds to the singulariry of the .vhole matter, is, that thtey cannot thetm elves tell how or why they a thus gif ed ;i nor will thtey receive any thing; fotr ervices so rend'ered.

TInmbuzrg Nov.2 93 1 441 t'edtly'and five years ago, a Colonel Cab anis, a successful planter, and "prosperous gentleman? Now, in those ancilent days of Virginia, the habit was to export the tobacco grown in the Colony to the mo ther country, to be .manufactured, and thence to be re-ex ported to Virginia, there to be mnasticated and spirited upon its na tive 'soil. Otir. worthy:Colonel Was the first to start domestic manufactures in the South, on his owir hook, by the erection of i pri vate esiablishmaent for the manufacture of chewing tobacco on a small scale. And a prime aitiele was turned' out from this infant, and we rhay say, isolated nanufac tory of the olden time.- And the good Colonel, who was a member of the House of Burgesses, would at every anuual'visit to Williamsburg, pu.t into his saddle bags a choice twist fur each of his brother mem bers and chewers of the House ; and anx iously indeed, was his advent, or rather that of his saddle-bags, looked for, while. many a smacking of lips, as well as sha king of hands, greeted the arrival of the panufacturer of Mecklenburg Capital. Now the Cabanis twist beat all compe tition ; it had tasie, the twang, the real game flavor, and many and earnest were the inquiries as to the nodus operandi by which such ati exquisite article was pro duced. At length the Colonel. divulged the mighty secret. He always pressed his prime the real Cubanis, In an ld Bee Gum! Gentle readers, wIio are iasticators of the weed, rejoice !' After the lapse of three quarters of a century, the truth, the mighty truth, is out at last. So let us bear no more of Caveudish Tobacco, but of Cabanis, No. ,-real Bee Gum, and no mis take. Management of Pork.-In Europe, the Russian perk bea-rs a high price, and its quality is supposed to be owing to the pic kle in which it is preserved. This is cal led -the Empress of Russia''s brine." and is prepared as follows: "Boil together, over a gentle fire,- six ponds of common salt, (that in common use in Russia is rock salt,) two pounds of powdered loaf sugar, three ounces of saltpetre, an'dcthree gallons of spring or pure water. Skim it while boiling, and when qnite cold pour it over the meat, every part of which must be covered with the brine. Small pork may be sufficiently cured in fouror five days; hams intended for drying, two weeks, un less they are very large. This pickle may he used again and again, if it be fresh boil ed up with a small additiot io the ingre dients. Before putting the meat into the brine, wash in water, press out the blood, and wipe it clean. Pickling tubs should be larger'at the bottom than at the top, by which means,- when well packed, the pork still retain its place until the last layer is exhansted. When the pork is cool, it may be cut up; the hams and shoulders reserved for bacon, and the re tnainder salted. Cover the bottom of the tub or barrel with rock salt, and on it place a layer of meat, and so on till the tub is filled. Use the salt liberally, and fill the barrol with strong brine, builed and skim' med,- and- then cooled. From the Augusta -Constitution61ist. Air.
