EXTRACT oF ONIONS —A writer says: “We are troubled often with severe coughs, the re- sult of colds of standing, which may turn to consumption or premature death. Hard coughs cause sleepless nigbts by constant irri- tation in the throat, and astrong effort to throw off offensive matter from the lungs. ihe remedy 1 propose has been tried by me, anil recommended by me with good result, which is simply to take into the stomach before re- tiring for the night a piece ef raw onion, after chewing. This esculentin an ancooked state is very healing. and collects tne waters from the Inngs and throat, causing immediate relief to the patient.” ®7 The late heavy fall oi rain has caused a freshet of considerable size in some of the Northeastern States. In Connecticut several of the rivers ran outside their banks. Dams and mills were destroyed, and railroad com- Menication was seriously imterrupted. ‘The damage to property in the vicinity of Nor- wich js estimated at $150,000. In Rhode Island the flood surpassed any that occurred therein thirty years. The railroad bridge at Woonsocket was partially swept away, and the damare in the State, a3 far as heard from, foots up S200140. Old Bridge, over Lebigh river at Allentown, Pa. was also carried away. &7 Two youths, named Charles Snyder and .William Sheldrake, were arrested on Thurs- day evering. upon & warrant swora out by the directors of the public school at Twenty-first Ward, Seapets gs cbarged with having committed & violent assault and pattery upon Mr. Mille, schoolteacher. It appears that the accused took a dislike to Mr. Mills, who haa seen fit to reprimand them for misbehaviour, and determined to punish him for so doing. They met him after school hours and gave him a thrashing, using slates and books in the assault. The lads had a hearing and were held im $500 bail each to answer at court. Usury Laws.—The Massachusetts State Senate, by @ yea and nay vote of 18 to 14, yowed abillon Friday repealing the usury jaws. Several amendments to fix a deMnite rate of interest were rejected. The bill nas yet to be acted on by the House, but that branch last week passed a bill raising the rate, and it will probably pass the ate bill. The New York Legislature, by its merchants, bankers, and by borrowers, as well as by leaders of money, have beer urged to repeal the usury laws for fitteen years, or more, but so far without success. A CRUEL AcT.—In Providence, Wednesday night, pewly-born twins were left in a willow basket. by some person unknown, at a Iady’s residence. There was a note from the mother in the basket stating that necessity compelled her todo as she had done. and expressing a desire that the children should be taken care of bya person of Koman Catholic faith. One of them wasalready dead from the effects of exposure. The other infant was so chilled that it 1s hardly expected to survive. ®7 A romanceof love and larceny has just come to light in the Police Court of New r- jeans. A lady in bridal array waited vainly im achurch, while he who should bave offici- ated as bridegroom was selling her diamond eross worth $2,5'"),to a pawubroker. The recre- ant lover, @ well-known dry goods clef of the city, attempted to commit suicide after his in- earceration for the crime, but was prevented by a public-spirited j.ilor, whothought the city could not spare a citizen so euterprising. 7° A man in Turkey bas been fined eighty piastres because his daughter's discarded lover committed suicide. The judge reaconed it out very plausibly in this way: “If he, the ac- cused, Dad not had a daughter, the deceased would not bave fallen in love; consequently, he would not have swallowed poison; conse- quently, be would not have died; but ha, the accused, bad a daughter, and the deceasedjhad fallen in love, and bad been disappointed and had swallowed poison and had died.” ®7 The Oyster war. for which Virginia ts continually famous, is said to be at present on the brink of a new campaign. The State levies @ tax on every bushel of oysters shipped North; the Northern oyster dealers will not pay as much 4 bushel as the tax amounts tw; so the Southern producer has either to go ont of business or cheat the revenue; and all the concerned denounce the tax as “mean” noonstitutional.”” part and Finet STURGEON OF THE SEAsON.—Yester- day morning, two youthful sturgeons were exhibited upon the stands of Brown & Stutz, in the Fish market. Both shad and sturgeon bave been taken remarkably early this season, and it can only be accounted for by the fact that the weather has been very cold, and the finny specimens were anxious to be taken in out of the wet. ‘ich.

Mrs. Nugent, the Child Murderess This unfortuna‘e woman, at present fined In Wheeling jail on the charge of mur- dering her child, is almost datiy visited by jadies, who desire to administer to her com- fort. She is more talkative of late. and when the sad subject of the death of the ebild is broached, she freely expresses herself as un- der the belief that it was the best thing that could have befallen the little angel, as she knows it is now in Heaven, and bad it lived she fears it could have never reached that blest abode. Since ber imprisonment Mre. Nugent bas written what she terms her “life.” The wri- tings fill some forty or fifty pages of foolscap. and abounds in incidents of woe and sadness She begins with ber childhood, and follows herself up to the Wheeling jail. She siys her parents never treated her with kindness, and &s A consequence her stay at home was one of trouble and trial, At the early age of seven- teen she became acquainted with Nugent: her prrents opposed his visits, and often drove her from the house. When about eighteen she r: Away and married, and since that time her rents, brothers or sisters have never spoken to her, and she bas never returned home.

A TERRIBLE HaND-T#-HaNnp FIcnT.—Here- with I give you additional and accurate infor- mation of the terrible calamity that befel tue isth United States Infantry on the 2ist day of December, 1566, at or near Fort Phil. Kearney, in Dakotah Territory. On that ill-fated day the Indians made an atttack on the wood train of the aforesaid post. Colenel H. B. Carring- ton, commandant, sent out reinforcements to assist the guard of the wood train. The in- dians numbered fifty, the reinforcing party numbering eighty-one men, including officers and citizens. As soon as the Ludians perceived that wejwere in close quarters, they began to retreat. Our men followed them. The Indians entered a ravine, our men still following. The Indians had two thousand warriors concealed in the ravine. The troops Were permitted to enter the defile until they were carefully and hopelesesiy surrounded Then commenced one of the most terrible hand-to-hand}fights ever recorded in the his- tory of Indian warfare. Oureighty-one whites Tepulsed two thousand Indians in three suc- cessive charges; but the fourth charge was too much for them. Owing tothe overwhelm. ing numbers and disadvantageous ground, our men could sustain themselves noloager. They were killed and scalped toa man. Not one was left to tell the tale of blood. The post was too weak to send assistance to those poor fellows. They were horribly ma- tila! There was but one eye witness to t fight, Dr. Hines, he being at a distance from those men ep d. He states that our men fought desperately. The ladians kept an bun- dred men busy carrying off their dead and wounded. Itisasupposition that the loss of the Indians amounted to 100 killedand wound- ed. The fact, however, is not easily ascer. tained, as they carry eff their degd and wound- ed on purpose to keep them from being seen or their number known.—Fort Reno Cer. Lowis- ville Journal HUNTING A BEAR IN VERMONT AND Fixp- ING A PANTHER.—A correspondent in Wind- sor, Vermont. gives an accountofaremarkable hunt which came off at Weathersfield on Thursday last. On Wednesday afternoon a party of bunters discovered what they sup- posed to be a bear track, which crossed the road twice within sight of Downer’s Hotel. in Weathersfiela. They follewed it up the side of a steep bill for about forty rods, and tound it led into uw cave, through the mouth of which the animal had evidently passed several times. A dog was eent into the cave, harsh growling ensued. and the dog beat a basty re- treat. The hunters concluded to close the mouth of the cuve, and pay his sup; bear- sbip another visit on theollowing morning. Accordingly on Thursday a party number- ing one bundred and fifty wentto the cave, and baving worked a bole through the top of the cave with an iron bar, an ash stake was inserted, which was immediately seized by the animal and a large prece torn out of it. A green crooked stick was then put iato the hole which the animal grappled, and was thus drawn to the hole by the hunters, who fired a ball from a revolyer into his head. The yelling and screaming which ensued from the euraged animal was indescribable. Again the stick was introduced which was again seized, and the animal brought within reacs of an- other charge. This finished him, for he fell back, gave one awful yelland was heard no more. On being brought out of the cave the hunters were astonished at findimg—not a bear, buta large male panther, seven feet long from tip to up, thirty-three inches high, and, though rath. er thin in flesh, weighing 1215; lbs. This was the largest P ther ever killed in the State. Thompson, in his account of the animal, says the average weight of afull grown panther is one hundred pounds, and the largest he ever knew killed in the State weigbed one hundred and eighteen pound: LxGieLaTion In VIRGINIA.—We have re. cently printed several complaints of the Rich- mond journais that the Legisiature of Vir- ginia was wactirg ite time in idte talk and ‘Was not attending to the business of the State, A recent issue of the Richmond Enqurier begs the Legislature to do something usetul before v jjourns, as it mast do on the 2d of March, and accuses the members of vacillation, timidity and want of energy a one. fer the domestic affairs of the State.
