We enquired of several physicians, who Ensure u3 that the only cape which has com i3 their knowledge was that of Mr. Howardone of our carriers and that is believed to be only a severe attack of diarrhea. Rains. It is a singular fact that, while tht seafon for the rast ten weeks has been peine w t'iit rernaikable lor frequent rains, in mom place?, theie has not. in the past e-x week?, been sufficient rain in a circuit of a few miles around Rising Sun to lay the dust. Formers in the immediate vicinity ot the town cOu plain that the young corn is drooping and dying from the effects of the sun. aiJ that tmless rain comes ery soon they will have no potatoes at all. Witnin the time specified above, they have had frequent promise of rain, but the clouds either passed over without unlading any portion of their desirable freight, or di video , and passing along on either side, showered their favors on those living only a few mdrs distant. The town and imme diate vicinity are remarkably healthy, and many persons attribute their exemption from the prevailing epidenc to to the dry weather and consequent absence of damp and moisture. IjThe Whig Convention of this county, to be held to-morrow, will tell u.-s who are to have the offices which should be at the disposal of the people on the first Monday in August next. We are told that the triggers are aheady set, and that those in the secret already know who will be tho nominees. That party has got its hand in so well in the decapitation of Democratic officers since the incoming of the Taylor dynasty, that it cannot refrain from decapitating a few of the office-seekers of its own follower0. We suppose that the unfortunate ones will submit to their fate with commendable re-;irn:itinn. 07-The health of New Orleans is reported to be much better than it usually is at this season with the exception ot ihe gold Jt ver, which broke out upon the birival of the Crescent City, and has prevailed to an alarming extent evr since.

Uuder this head the Nashville True Whig give some account of the lat hours of Mr. Polk: "He retained his consciousness, we learn, tip almost to the moment of dissolution. We saw him at a period when his physicians considered his case very critical. He happened to hear that we were going to Columbia, where his good old mother resides, and sent for us. Upon entering the room he asked us to take a seat by his bed side, he proceeded in a very calm, deliberate man ner to say that the exhausted condition of his body was not alarming to him that he felt satbfiVd that bis earthly career was fast approaching to an end that he wished to send some word to his beloved mother, who was so unwell, as he understood, that it was probable she might not be able to come to see him he Bpoke of her and other members of her family most affectionately among other messages delivered in the same calm, resigned tone, he requested us to tell his mother that should they not be permitted to meet on earth again, that he had an abiding hope that, through divine mercy they would meet hereafter. Early in his sickness, we understand he connected himself with the Methodist Episcopal Church. A funeral sermon was delivered by the Rev. J. B. McFerrin, of that church, and his remains followed to their last resting place by a large concourge of citizens. He was interred with Masonic ceremonies, having been a member of that fraternity. FOiTeIGN NEWS ITEMS. A coup! of columns of the London Times are occupied with the names of the presentations at the last levee of the Queen. Among the presentations to the Queen and Prince Albert, were Hon. E. A. Hannegan, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States at Berlin, and Mr. Gates Seaton, Secretary of the United States Legation at Frankfort. At the completion of the sale of the late Mr. O'Conneh's books, pictures, engravings, &,c, on Monday, a small portrait of Lord John Russell could not be disposed of at all; the auctioneer could not even wheedle forth a bid of 4d!

Lord Stanley has been shipping many of his poor tenants to the United States, paying the p.isswge mony himself. Cire for the Cholera Lord Ponsonby, in a letter published in the British journals, says that, to his own knowledge, dissolved camphor has proved a certain cure for cholera, both in Paris and in Germany, and if taken in time, the cure is generally effected before it is possible to procure a phycician. The following is the recipe: Recipe. One and a half ounces of spirits of wine, one-quarter ounce of camphor dissolved in the wiue. Get a small vial of spirits of hartshorn. Directions. First, give a teaspoonful of hartsI horn in a wine glass of water. Begin immediateI ly, and give five drops of spirits of wine, (camphor,) filling the teaspoon full of cold water, and ia little sugar. Repeat this every five minutes , until you have given three doses. Then wait i fifteen minutes, and commence again as before, and continue half aa hour, unless there isreturning heat. Should this be the case, give one dose j more, and the cure is effected. Let patient per spire freely, as on this life depends; but add no addit;ona! clothing.

HUNGARY AND AUSTRIA. Th Victory ia the ilotheolharm Pass. ."Hie Democratic PaciEque' has private and authentic advices from Hungary, which confirm the reported victory of Bern over th RaUn in the Rotheuthurm Pass ia Transylvania. Th reason why there is any doubt or obscurity with regard to recent movements in Hu ngary, is that the Austrian authorities take ali possible means of suppressing intelligence from that quarter. The Democratic afarms positively that the Russian advanced guard suffered a check near Jablunka, some thirty miles from Cracow, in consequence of which, a division laid down iu arms, abandoning its artillery, with horses and e lulpage, its baggage, munitions and materials of war.

In the defiles of Eperies, Dembiu&ki has beaten the Russians, and driven the whole body which was advancing by that route, back beyond the Carpathians, ali the northern ranges of which he now occupies. But a victory which even the Austrian Government journals do not dare to deny, says the Democratic, i that gained by Bern over a Russian column of 25,000 men seeking an entrance iuto Transylvania by the Rothenthurm (Red Tower) Pass. He allowed the enemy to penetrate to the very extremity of the valley, where he was ready to receive them behind some fortifications which he had erected for the purpose. While the Russians were attacking these works the Szekler Mountaineers suddenly appeared on the heights cf the defile, thus threatening both flanks and the rear of the enemy, whom they destroyed by roll ing rock upon them from above. Terrible confusion instantly appeared in the ranks of the Imperial force, and a flight instantly took place among them, leaving a third of their whole nnmber on the field of battle. The 'Hamburger Correspondent' announces the success of Bern in these terms: "Bern has sought the frontier of Russian troops from Tenzin to Kublo. More than seventy Russian officers have gone over to the Hungarians. The Hunga rians mean to avoid a pitched bcttle." The 'Democratic Pacifique' also publishes a letter from Cracow, dated May 21, which says: "Bern, who at first had but a handful of 'insurgents," has now an army of more than 60,000 men and 200 cannon. Kriwan aud Arsa have been to us precious arsenals of men and arms. The Russians ask nothing better than to be disarmed as soon as they are away from the authority of their Generals. The advantages which Bern has gained are astonishing, especially from the 7th to the 10th of May. Dembinski has also beaten the Russians on the Polish soil of Gallacia. In a former letter I announced to you the presence of noteworthy strangers (French and English,) at head-quarters; but I was beneath the reality there are Amhrica.-o there also." A, correspondent of the 'National' writes from Vienna: "Kussuth pays his men liberally. The common soldier receives ten Kruxers (about two cents) a day in money, a sufficient quantity of meat, bread and vegetables, and a chance for ex traordinary reward, which are as high as 500 florins for the capture of a fldg, a cannon, &.c. The skill of the Hungarians makes it unlikely that they will be brought to a pitched battle." The 'Weser Zeitung" says: It is reported that Ewzck has been taken by the Hungarians. The district of Suingh is in open insurrection, which may render difficult the retreat of Jellachich. Perhaps we shall soon see Maygar armies on the shores of the Adriatic sea. The Russians will advance with greater difficulty than the Czar seems to suppose, and the fever which will prevail during the Summer will greatly weaken hi army The war will last long, and if Austria bhould obtain the victory, she will suffer from it for many yearB. An Old Prediction A Washington letter in the New York Journal of Commerce quotes the following prediction, the original of which, in Eatin, is copied from a book iu the library of the Augustiuian convent, at Rome, published in 1675 : "Before the middle of the XlXth century, seditions will be excited everywhere in Europe. Republics will arise; kings will be put to death, with the nobility and ecclesiastics; and the religious will desert their convents. "Famine, pestilence, and earthquakes, will spread desolation over many cities. Rome will lose her sceptre by the invasion of false philosophers. The Pope will be made a captive by his own people and the Church of G d will be put under tribute, and divested of all its temporal possessions. In a very short time there will be no Pope. "A prince from the North will overran Europe, with a great army, destroy the republics, and exterminate all rebels. His sword, wielded by God, will vigorously defend the Chnrch of Christ, uphold the orthodox faith, and subdue the Mahommedan power. "A new pastor the final one will come by a heavenly sign, from the shore, in simplicity of heart and in the doctrine of Christ, and peace will be restored to the world." EPThe Boston Journal of Friday, the 6th, has a record of some two hundred and ninety-nine vessels, embracing ninety-five ships, one hundred and four barks, fifty-eight brigs, and forty-six schooners, already on the passage to California; and this number is being daily augmented. Ozoiti. The "phosphorescent odor" of this fntangible, incomprehensible, chaotic, insubstantial substance, is supposed by the Boston Chrocotype to mean a rather "brUliunt smell."

CooLWKis A Tat. Aiorr a IIsaS.' Jake, a little buck negro, who belonged to Dr. Taliaferro, was said to have ia his little frame a heart as big as Gen. Jackson's. He didn't fear even our respecuble fellow-citix-'n, Old Nick; and as for coolness, he was as cool as the tip-top of the North Pole. One day, Dr. TallUferro, upon the occasion of th Commencement of a Medical College, of which he held the chair of Anatomy, gave a dinuer. Among his guests was a well-known ventriloquist. Late In the evening, after the bottle had done its work, the conversation turned upon courage, and the doctor boasted considerably of his favorite man, Jake. He offered to to bet that nothing could scare h'rra ; and this bet the ventriloquist took up, naming, at the same time, the

tet he wanted imposed. Jake was sent for, and he came. 'Jake," said the doctor, "I have bet a larsre sum of money on your head, and you must win it. Do you think you can?" "Berry well, m ster," replied Jake, "just tell dis iiiggfa what he's to do, and he do it, sure." "I want you to go to the cissectiug-room. You will find two dead bodies there. Cut off the head ef one of them with a large knife you will find there, and bring it to us. You must not take a light, however; and don't get frightened." "Dat's all, is it?" inquired Jake. "Oh, berry well; I do dat, sure for sartin. And as for beiug frightened, the devil aiut a going to frighten me!" Jake accordingly set olf, reached the dissecting-room, and groped about until he found the knife and the bodies. He had just applied the former to the neck of the latter, when frm the body he was about to decapitate a hollow and sepulchral voice exclaimed "Let my head alone! "Yes,6ah," replied Jake; "I aint 'ticklar; one tadder head'll do jis as well." He accordingly put the knife to the neck of the other corpse, when another voice, equally unearthly in its tone, shrieked out "Let my head alone!" Jake was puzzled at first, but he answered presently "Look a hea! Master Toll iver say I must bring one ob de heads, and you isn't gwine to fool me, no how!" and Jake hacked away ustil he sepa rated the head from the body. Thereupon half a dozen voices screamed out "Bring it back! Bring it back!" Jake had reached the door, but on hearing this, he turned and said "Now now, see yah! Jes you keep quiet, you fool, aud don't wake up de women folks! Massa's only gwine to look at de bumps.,' "Brig back my head at once!" cried the voice. "Tend you right away, sah!" replied Jake, as he marched off with the head, and ne next minute he deposited it before thh doctor. "So, you've got it, I see," said his master. "Yes, sah," replied the unmoved Jahe; 4 but please be done looking at him soon, kase de gembleam told mete fotch him back right away." John Donkey. tT" We copy the following very sensible "item" from the Detroit Bulletin, of the I3th instant : "Lime is cheap. Every family should procure a sufficiency, and scatter it about their premises. It will do no harm, and may save life and a doctor's bill " We will add in addition to thts advice, let our city authorities provide the lime, and scalt- r it about the streets and alleys, as in Louisville, where the streets in the morning look as though a shower of snow had fallen during the night; and what is the consequence 'f these precautionary measures? Why, Louisvi le, with a bad location, is comparatively healt.y; whilst our city, pleasantly situitr-d on the slope of a hill, is losing upwards of twenty of its inhabitants daily, A hundred loads of lime t-catt-red about our street might save as many live!, and restore confidence in the city; for in the absence of all appearance of precaution, the mind becomes alarmed and engenders the disease. W want ?reventi ve,' not long letters prescribing "fallible ccres." Some of our friends burn a little sulphur in their bed rooms, immediately before retiring to rest at night about as much as wi l lay on a shilling i sufficient. This reminds us of the following article in a London paper about Bix weeks ago : "At theexpressdesire of the authorities ol Galway, last week, the soldiers of the 6th regiment ol foot fired 20 rounds of blank cartridge in thei-qaare for the purpose of purifying the air, and thus checking the spread of cholera." Cm. Com Flie. During the last visitation of the cholera, the fies died in great numbers. Such was also the case when the yellow fever prevailed in New York. We have seen in the Valley, during a visitation of typhoid fever, th flies die in great numbers. They appear to be affected like men by the atmospheric disturbance. But they do not seem during this visitation of cholera to suffer. They are as active as usual and somewhat troublesome, j Richmond Va. Republican. An Eagle Shot by a Woman.
