A new cure f o.1 hydrophobia haa beau raentioned in Enland. An eminent physician refera to Youatt, who told him that bis reniedy was to allow the coiumon nitrato of silver, eaily proourable, to filter into t he wouud ; it decom poses the saliva, and in doing Una destroys tha virus. Ho says that tLe nitrato of zilver obases tho poison into the very oapillaríes, and neutralizo it. The physician adds that " if, then, poison of hydrophobia rernains latent on an averago of six weeks, the part ln;uls over, but there il a pimplo or wouud, more or less irritable ; it then beeomes painful, and tha gemí, whatever it is, is ripe for dissemination into the system, and then all hopa is "wie. Ncvertheless, between thc time of the bite and the aetivity of tho wound provious to disseminalion, the caustio or nitrate of silver is a sure preventive; aftur that, it is as useless as all other meaus. The best moile of applieation of ihe intrate of ilver is by Introdueing it solidly into the wound. It inelts in an cquül quantity uf water. If already healed, the cicatriz should be rubbed aud causticated away en irely." L" Roebuck and bia secesh collcíigius pretend to be alarmed nt the presence in Ireland of vvh:it they cali recruiting tlf;ent for Ihv unitod States. But vvhat will lie sav now ubout the bux om lauses froin Nöwtón and Fallsvv-oiuV? Miy not botli storios be falso?

Are pot lovers provérbially desperate, and will not tha recruiíing sergeant be banJy to takc advantage of any paro.xysms of pación ? This must be it, and Uoebuck onght certainly to look ttfter that "agent froto America.
