He shot himself with a pistol, the ball eate ring the.left eye and penetrating the brain and lingered in a state of total insensibility from about 7 o'clock, A. IM., when the family was called to his roam by the report of a pistol),,pntil half past 1, ?. M. of the same day. When his loom was entered, he was found in a chair, placed at a table. A pistol was lying across his lap, and on the table was an open- razor.

His remedy is as follows "Take of the roots of Plantane or Hoar hound (in summer, roots and branches together,) a sufficient quantity, bruise them in a mortar, and squeeze out the juice, of which give as,soon as possible,one large spoonful; if it is swelled, you must force it down the throat, .This geerally will cure; but if the-patient.8nds no relief in.arhour after, you may give another spoonful,.. which never has failed4 But if the roots are dried, they must be mole tened with a little water..

It is as good and applicable now as then: "Forward," says he, "in the namue of God, graft, set, plant and nourish up trees I in every corner of your ground ; the labor is small, the cost is nothing, ; the dowt modity is . groat; yourselves shall have plenty ; the poor shall have somewhat in time of want, to relive their necessity ; and God shall reward your good minds and diligence." In a village of Piton a peasant's wife, after a fong ilness, felt into a lethargy. She was thought dead, and being only wrapped in linen, as was ctustomary among the poor, was carried to the place of inter ment.
