gr A Cup.e for Bone Felon. —A friend informs us, that while suffering .. with a bone felon, 20 years ago. Dr. F. late the Apothecary Gene ral of the United States, advised him to fill a thimble with soft soap aud quick silver mixed, and bind it tightly over the felon. This he did and in the I course of 12 hours, it was drawn to a I head, when the core was removed, sand by the the appliance of the usual | poultice, the sore was soon healed. — Our informant remarks,that this is a severe expedient, but one that is pre ferred to the customary treatment. — We have heard others who have used the remedy prescribed, sav that it is the most effectual and expeditious.— Asa good many persons are now afflic ted with bone felons, we have been requested to make this publication.— May it prove “a real blessing” to the suffering.— Balt. Clipper. To Make Pepper Sauce. —A lady kindly furnishes the following recipe to prepare this welcome and indispen sable sauce: Select Cayenne Pepper fully grown, leave the stem attached, rinse them, and put them in a convenient bottle for use, as many as it will contain; add a teaspoonful of salt and'a tablespoon ful of sugar; fill up with vinegar.— In a day or two it will be fit for use. — It can be replenished with vinegar until the strength of the pepper is ex hausted. If the Cayenne Peppers are not to be had, any small strong Pep pers may be substituted. Keep the bottles corked.— Exchange. The Bite of a Rattlesnake — The most simple and convenient reme dy. says the correspondent of the Ma con Messenger, I over heard of, was alum. A piece the size of a hickory nut, dissolved in water and drank, or chewed and swallowed, is sufficient. — I have tfood authority for saying it has been tried many times on men and dogs, and that they have invariably re covered. I know of some planters whose hands are exposed to be bitten by rattlesnakes, who always have them provided with it, in their pockets, and j they have often found use for it. Pttiorons.

Pat and the Oysters.— Pat, who had just been transplanted, had been sent by his master to purchase a half bushel of oysters, at the quay; but was absent so long that apprehensions were entertained for his safety. He returned at however, puffing un der his load in the most musical style, “ Where have you beer ?” exclaimed his master. “ Where have I been V why, where should I be, but to fetch the oyst ers?” “ And what in the name of St. Pat rick kept you so long?” ‘•Long! by my sowl, I think I have been pretty quick, considering all things?” “Considering what things?” “Considering what things? why, considering the gutting of the fish, to be sure.” “Gutting what fish ?” “ What fish? why, b!ur-un*ows, the oysters.” “ What do you mean?” “ What do I mean ? why, I mean that as I was resting down foment the Pickled Herrings, having a dhrop to sorafort me, a gintleman axed me what I’d got in mv sack.” “Oysters,” said I. “Let’s look at ’em,” says he, and he opens the bag. “Och! thunder and praties,” says he,” who soul'd you these ?” “It was Mick Carney,” says I, “aboard the Pol Doodle smack.” “Mick Carney, the thief of the world! what a blackguard ho must be, to give them to you without gut ting.” “Ain’t they gutted?” says I. “ Mischief a one,” says he. “ Musha then,” says I, “ what’ll I do?” “Do!” says he, “I'd sooner do it my self than see you so abused.” And so he takes ’em in doors, and guts them nate and clean as you’ll see,” opening at the same time, his bag of oyster shells, that were empty as the head that bore them to the house.
