. Advertisinga Moral Duty.
Some years ago it was prooposed by
an American Physician that members of
the Faculty should advertise their reme-
dies and modes of treatingdiseases in the
newspapers. It was a bold and manly
idea. It was scouted, however, by the
profession generally, as infra dig. But
is there any degradation in publicity ?—
It is not rather the great touchstone that
ties pretension and univerializes the prac-
tical beuefits of all valuable inventions
and discoveries ? Should not a profes-
sion that aims at the mitigation of suffer;
ing and the preservation of life, make the
means of obtaining these grand objects
known through the channel ofinformation
most accessible to all classes and condi-
tions, the columns of the public press ?
If it declines to do so, the natural infe-
rence is cither that the desire of secrecy
arises from asordid, mouopolizing, egotis-
tic spirit, or from a lack of faith in its
own prescriptions.
Viewing the subject in this light, we
may presume Professor Holloway some
twenty years ago, overleapcd the barriers
which the profession had erected between
itself and the public, and plunged fear-
lessly into the newspaper arena. He
had discovered or rather invented, _ after
years of research and experiments, two
preparations which he believed to be
specifies for nearly all the diseases of
mankind ; and as an indication of his
confidence in them, and proof of his phil-
anthropic wish that, if really valuable,
they should be accessible to the whole
world. he advertised them wherever ad-
vertising media cxisted. This was the
severest ordeal to which he could have
submitted thcm—the cxperimcnlzwi crucis.
He threw them at once, as it were, be-
fore the sick of all regions. He stated
their properties, proclaimed what they
would do and staked reputation and for-
tune upon the issue. That issue has been
all that he or the world could have de-
sired. The rich and the poor, the lea.rned ’
and the ignorant, physicians, statesmen,
monarchs, a nation of enlightened frec-
mcn, have sanctioned, used, extolled them
They are fixed facts in the medical histo-
ry.
Is not this better than hiding light
under a bushel? Is it not bettci' than
writing prescriptions in a dead la.nguagc,
and putting weights and quantities into
liieroglyphics.
If anything is worth knowing it is
worthy of being universally known. S0
thinking, Holloway proclaimed the vir-
tues of his medicines through the press ;
and fortune, fame and the gratitude of
millions have been his reward.

’.: Union School.
I '1‘li'e first semi-annual term of the Norwalk
Union School closed its session on Thursday
last. The examinations were more largely
attended than ever before, and u very greatly
increased interest in the success of the School
seemed apparent. 'l‘he exercises were all of
a nature to reflect credit upon the, Teachers
and Scholars. There were many individual
cases of Scholarship indicating rare mental
development. which we have no permission
to name The 'l‘e achers and friends of this
School have had much to contend with, but it
has at length outlived opposition. and we be-
lieve very few in this community would be
willing to dispense with so useful on inntitu-5,

Law Suit. __
We learn that Mr. Increase Allen of this
town has commenced a suit against the N Y.
and N. H. Railroad Company, for ejecting
hi from their Sunday evening passenger
tr:'iliM, early last Spring. Mr. Allen is a com-
muter and his ticket guarantees him passage
“ on all passenger trains stopping at the
Station _Hous cs between New York and
Bridgeport.” Conductor Drake demanded
his fare, claiming the Sunday evening train
not to be a passenger train, although, at the
time, heavily loaded with passengers. Mr.
Allen refused to pay, whereupon the Conduc-
tor proceeded to eject him from the cars.-
We are told that Mr. Allen made no great
liubbub, but allowed himself to be ejected un'
der protest. We presume the Company will
now have a. pretty little bill to pay for the
exploit. Ifit were designed to exempt Com-
muters from the Sunday night train, it should
be so expressed, but for the Company to issue
tickets “ good for all passenger trains,” and
then set up the defence that because a certain
train runs on Sunday, it is nota passenger
train, is certainly made ludicrous by the fact
that they go loaded with passengers, and fares
are collected, etc., as upon week day trains.
We should think the Sloekholders of this road
would get heartily sick of these costly "quib-
bles of their agents.

Mr. Van Zandt, we believe, has endeavored

Bindery, now of the largest Book and Pub-
lishing House in Detroit. Twelve months of
Western life does more to expand a Yankee
boy’s ideas of business operations, than a
whole life-time spent in the provincial towns
of New England. Connecticut is a very good
sort ofa bird’s nest, and an admirable place
to be lmlclml in, but the mighty West is the

The real cause of this new movement of

Democracy that they have not dcsci'tcd
their cause. The killing of a few free
State men in Lawrence and the burning
of the place, will be an excellent reply to
the Georgia and Mississippi resolutions,
and will show the Southern Democrats
that Buchanan is not ungrateful. It may
be designed to embarrass the free state
men in the new census they are now ta-
king. There may be some deeper, dead-
lier, more disgraceful plan at the bottom.

1)l«‘.Al‘. Sin.—-For many years my-
self a reader of the Gazette and well ac-
quainted with many of those among your
subscribers who enjoy it like privilege, an
apology for tlnis intruding with my short
cpistlc, on T ucsday next seems hardly to
be nccessiiry, so content with "making
my inanncrs” to one and all who may
chance to smile a welcome to “ Wilton,”
I’ll cease writing about myself, and 'turi
to matters more interesting to all whu
have a taste for the chit-chat and scan-
dal of Gotham.
underfoot, I arrived carpet liixg in hand
at the new depot of the New llavcn
Railroad, corner of 4th avenue and 27th
St-., justin time to take the firs‘. train for
_\'orwalk. Having -arrived at 32nd St.,
;l’.£ltlOll, the signal being given off we
-tartcd tlirough the gloomy excavation
uiown as Murry"I[ill, at a rate of five
niles per hour according to regulation,
nicrgiug from this the speed seemed sonic-
ow to grow perecptibl y faster, sinil rocks,
-'ees, cows &c., to vanish with almost
ipernatural quickness. On we go, stop-
Oiir model Mayor and his host of llljllllt
tions furnishes about the only theme her
which engrosses the public attention bu. ,
it is to be hoped that he is gradually
shortning his rope and will soon be coii-
signcd to the tender mercies of oblivion.
Just now he is turning his attention to
the duties which unfortunately devolve
upon him by virtue of his office as Police
Commissioner, and with the assistance of
Mayor Powell, of Brooklyn, and per-
chance by Com. Cholwell, he may yet sue-
cccd in gcting in a situation to do his
“ Masters work” with a veiigencc. But
enough of him, for who wants Country
peoplc,¢Icrir /toms-t souls to think that there
is not an honest man fit to hold office.
The majority did not choose him, but all
sorts of divisions sprang up among his
opponents and gave him the oflice by a
small plurality, all things being consider-
ed. The same amount of energy be-
stowed in your last election would have
sent at least one more Republican to
Congress, and one too, of whom all
might well have been proud, so no insin-
nation about corruption in cities &c.
It is quite lonely in town- now eve-
nings as most of our feminines with the
“small fry” are luxui'ating in the Country
paying their respects to Country Cousins,
and thinking t-hcni the most deliglitful
creaturs in the world, and above all on-
joying “plain farincrs fare,” which plain
farmers wives and daughters have to pro-
vide with the thermometer at 90 deg.
down in the kitchen. I wonder the Cars
are not enjoined by order of some of your
Courts from bringing these annual plagues
among you. I say the cars for I go on
the Boa.t (of course I do) and dout stay
long enough to make you all twice glad.
My wife never goes in the Country during
the summer, but she and I stay home
keeping cool and taking solid comfort
while fashion and their followers turn
their backs upon those who cant afford
to go on with them to the Springs, Niag-
ara and such places, or have no “dear
cousins” in the country, who so long to
have them come and stay forever. A fig
for their sympathy or contempt, we are
not bound to make fools of ourselves_
just to be thought “soiubody” by no-
body.
The wcather with us could not well be
more pleasant or favorable to the general
health of the city. Showers have been
quite frequent during the past week, gen-
erally accompanied with heavy thunder
and sharp lightning so that the air is
kept very pure.
Sunday will be a great day as the
funeral of Anderson the Policeman who
was shot the other day by a. burglar, is
to take place. . His murderer is sure
to swing for it, the cuily objection to which
will be the inadequacy ofthe punishment.
But for the greatest exertions on the part
of the Police he would have been made
an example of on the spot.
And now readers one and all before I
tire you with a long rignaarolc which only
fills up without satisfying. 1 will close
my letter hoping that if you have liked
me well enough to da.y to wish to hear
from me again you will pay up all back

time speak a good word to Byington for

l®"*A method of ventilating hay, oats
and barley stacks, has long been prac-
ticed by the farmers of England, which
it perhaps would be well for our own to
adopt. When about to build a stack,
they fill a bag, say three feet high and
twenty inches in diameter, with straw.-—
This they place vertically in the center,
putting the barley, oats or hay, which-
ever it may happen to be, around it.—
As the stack rises, they lift the sack,
and so on to the top. In this way a
chimney is formed, into which the steam
or gasses generated in the stack, find
their way and escape.

mode of’ treatment of scarlet fever, resort-
ed to by Dr. Selinceuian, ph_vsieian to the
King of Hanover. It is as follows, and
exec-cdiiigly simple :—From the first day
of the illness, and as soon as we are cer-
tain of its nature, the patient must be
rubbed morning and evening over the
whole body with a piece of liacr.-n,.in such
a.inanncr that, with the exception of the
head, a covei'iii_r._r_ of fat is evervwhere ap-
plied. In order to make 1lllS'1'lll')1JlI1g'lll

of bacoii the size of the hand, that we
nia_v have a firm grasp. On the soft side
of this piece slit:-; are to be made, in order
to allow the oozing out of the fat. The
rubbing must be thoroughly perfornz»;-d,
and not too quickl_v, in order that the
;-;kin in-ay regularly be saturated with the
fat. The bciicficial results of the appli-
cation are soon obvious ; with a rapidity
bordering on magic, all, even the most
painful symptoms of the disease are allev-
cd ; quiet sleep, good humor, appetite He.
