Editors Ary us:—In your issue of the. 2dth ult., you stated that sore eyes were prevalent in your city. Allow me to sug gest a remedy which is almost infallible:- Put 4 grains of Lunar Caustic into an ounce vial, fill it with clear water—rain water is best After it is dissolved put two or three drops into each eye three times a day. To drop it from the vial is the better plan, but it can be poured into a spoon and then-poured into the eye. If the spoon is used, just enough for ono eye should be poured out at a time. At night fold and wet a soft cloth and place over the eyes. For very yonng children, weaken it a little. If the in- flamatioh is deep seated use ten grains to the ounce. Any one whose eyes are dis posed to inflamation, will find great benefit by an occasional use of the rem edy. For the above recipe, I am in debted to “Fort’s Medical Practice,” a book which every family in &>tlth West Georgia and Florida should possess. His remarks upon, and treatment of Bilious Fever is invaluable in miasmatic sections. We have frequently used this remedy in our family, and always with abscess. - Sympathy. H. C. McKEE, D. M.

Directly opposite the Palaski House, and a few doors above the Screven He use, 133 Congress Street, septl8 SAVANNAH, GA. jl The Pkize Ox.—-We understand, says the Milledgeville Union, that a large fat bttlleek; from Atlanta, was on exhibition at the State Fair. He was originally frott New York, and was sent to Georgia by express when only a large calf. He is of the New Fngland, short-horned carpet-bug breed, and has already taken several large prirtes at the Fourth Na tional Bank of New York. It iff Said that this hteed of cattje is of no value only for beef, and we hope it will not be propagated in Georgia, as it costs more than the beef is worth to fatten it. This ox has been fed on greenbacks for more than a year, and it is thought by some that it has already cost more than ff frtfii- dred thousand dollars to fatten him for the exhibition. Mr. Kimball, of Atlanta Opera House celebrity, has the honor Of grooming the prize ox. It was he also that fitted up his Btable, and who keeps it in order! A Ctttr Undeb Abbest.—The way of those who are indebted to bondholders is hard. It has proved so in this State, where whole boards of supervisors have lately been arrested and brought before the court for not ordering assessments to pay off bonds; and in one or two cases Mayors and Aldermen have been either arrested or threatened with it. And Bow the fever is spreading. Onr neigh boring city of Galena just now finds her self in the grasp of some importunate creditors of this kmd, and is suffer ing the penalty. It would seem that judgment had been tendered against the city, and payment is now trying to be enforced. But the plan proposed by the City Council fot so doing was not satis factory, and the result was that a United States deprity Marshall came over from Chicago yesterday and arrested Mayor Brand and five Aldermen on suinmafy process. He took them to Chicago on lost evening’s train, fhere to appear and answer before the Federal Cgurt.—Du- bvque (Iowa) Her did, * TR*— — The Famine In IiritfA.—The Calcutta overland mail of October 12th states that, the retnn of deaths in the northwest provinces for the month of August is really appalling. In August List year the deaths were 25,265, bt^ in August of the present year they rose to 51,542. Cholera and fever are the pricipal causes of the increase, as from the former the deaths rose from 1,926 to 18,501, and from the latter from 13,000 to 19,000. No doubt the debility of the people caused by the scarcity of provisions has rendered them more liable to decease. The following prominent ex-offtoffr*- 1 of tho government have died withiaf two months past: Ofie ev-President, Franklin Pierce; ; two ex-SScretarieff - of the Treasury, Wm. Pitt Fegsendenr' and Robert J. Walker; one ex-Secro- tary of W&f, John Bell; one Senator; Wm.

A Delicious Blunder.—As one of- the most gallant Brigadier Generali of oflr late army was crossing- the 1 Fair grounds at Macon, he was sud denly confronted by a lady who*' smiling in all the glory of rosy-lfpped' beauty, took both his hands, shook them most heartily, an(t then making a rosebtid of be? month; leaned for* ward and hissed him Most vig6t- onsly.
