S==> MISCELLANY. Cholera Infantum. I T?U- ^-11? ? -- - iuc luuuwmg is iroin a distinguished | clergyman who never says what lie does! not know : This is the season for Cholera Infantum. Many years ago I received from an excellent physician a recipe for this prevalent and often fatal disease, which I have used now for twenty-three years in my own and other families with uniform success. Every intelligent physician will see that the combination meets every ordinary indication of the disease. There may be cases of uncontrollable violence, which no remedy will j arrest. But I never have known this remedy to fail in any case in which it has been tried ; and I believe that in most cases which prove fatal from ordinary neglect and subsequent treatment, the timely use of this recipe would have saved the patients. It never produces irritation, debility, or other bad consoquences. It is as follows :?Calomel, 12 grains; Opium, 1 errain : "Powrlmwl I Cinnamon, 25 grains; Prepared Chalk, 48 grains. Mix and divide into sixteen powders. It will be seen that there arc three quarters of a grain of calomel and one-sixteenth of a grain of opium in each powder. Keep a box of those powders on hand. As soon as a child is aflected with bowel complaint so seriously as not to bo promptly relieved by a change of diet, give one of those powders,- and repeat every four hours until relief is obtained. One powder will often relieve, two generally, four always, flTnonf ?n *- 1 >u nubu viuium, ana rapia cases as 1 have never seen. In the summer time during the irritation of dentition, the disease will probably return eveiy week or two, and it may be as ccTtainly relieved with perfect safety in a few hours by one or two powdere. As far as my observation goes, there . ought never to be a death or a protracted j illness from cholera infantum. Some persons have.a violent antipathy to calomel, derived in sbme measure from the abuse of it, but mora frequently from use of it in cases which by- previous neglect or bad treatment liad been rendered incurable. The remedy last i resorted to is then charged with the effect * of that previous nocrlect. or bn/1 Those persons may be assured that none of ; the evils they apprehend from the use j of calomel will result from the free but s judicious use of those powders.?The above ( valuable recipe was sent us the other day , by a female friend, whose success in the treatment of the sick in h&r" own large fanj- ' 'flv might entitle any remedy to credit": j Yonrfamily physician will tell you that this < is a simple and most efficacious remedy for j the bowel Affections of children, common j to the spring and summer; that you may ^ave it safe and fight for use, cetyour phyBicianto put it wp^y^Loui$vilTe Journal. { In q crowd whoirere looking at the < iSead body of qu* engii^r killed on a rail- i i?&&&&& fa Dutchmsnf'tpade the remark, iwfp %' de midst of life ^ejrSjn det 1" (death).

Millars; The remarks of your correspondent F., on (lie subject of legal ethics, have brought back to my memory a scene which occurred sonic six months,| ago in a London criminal eourl. A young j, man stood indicted for having stolen at i' night into a young lady's room, clambering | over neighboiing roofs, and having robbed her of certain jewels. The barrister, who found nothing upon which he might rest a decent defence of the prisoner," suggested to the jury that, perhaps, tlio ladv, rt woman of irreproachable character, had made an appointment with the prisoner, had given him the jewels, and finding she would be discovered, had seen no other escape from disgrace than turnimr lu-r lovor into . i^iimi nal. Tlic ju<*de was going to stop the slandering lawyer, when tin* prisoner rose j aiul cried : 4*Sir, that is not in your l?ri?rf; what you say is not true*, and 1 would not be acquitted at this rate." The thief was better than the lawyer, whoso discomfiture was increased by the judge's unreserved remarks on his ui.blu.-hing conduct, while the bench assured the prisoner that his conduct should have its weight in settling the. amount of punishment for his crime. Justice. ClIAN'CKI.i.ou \V Mini. ?iv?Tliic guished Jurist, and Scholar, another of "Old EdgefiedV' sons, is at present a sojournei in our town.

Evening Thoughts.?'Tis sweet at. twilight hour to gaze upon the sky in all its grandeur?to watch its over varying hues; and the bright stars, as one by one they peep from out the azure vault of heaven, they seem to say to weary ones of earth? be patient, all will yet be well. Then the fair moon, with light subdued and sweet in majesty, apears.

But, who supposed, deacon, that a man of your j years would give such advice to a person : just starting in life ?'' This took the deacon down. To Si'oktsmex.?A correspondent of; the Scientific American communicates the ' following which may he of value to sports- j men: "Wash your gun barrels in spirits i of turpentine by dipping a rag or sponge 1 fastened on your gun rod into the liquid, j and swabbing them out tliree or four times, j when they will be cleared form all impuri-; tics, and can be used almost instantly, as the turpentine will evaporate and leave the ; barrels dry ; even if they are a little moist i it win not prevent their going off, like water. After being washed thus, there is no danger of rust jis when water is used. I am an old experienced gunner, and have practiced this for years, and found it useful." The Latest.?A farmer, who possessed a flock of "common liens," lately bought a half dozen Shanghais, and turned thein together, when the Yankee breed refused to eat with the Shanghais, though the latter were peaceablv inclined Tli/? f-???

The cause assigned ' for thia freak is that the American breed had become inibued with Amorican principles.
