More tlian three hundred salmon ■were taken recently in five casts, on the river Tay, near Perth. Dr Keueally, 6f Tichborue-fame, is in Canada, “ Exchange is no robbery.”—One would have thought that a London Police Magistrate would have been the very last person m the world to enunciate this doctrine. Mr Arnold, however, is of opinion that it is straining the law ”to convict of felony a bad boy who steals his mother’s boots and runs away ;from home wearing them instead of his own. If his decision is based on the relationship between the parties, how is it that children have repeatedly been convicted of robbing their (parents ? The following is given by a French medical v one as an excellent remedy for a very common complaint (childlains) at the present season , —Ono ounce of tannic acid is to bo dissolved in about a pint of water, and four scruples of iodine in a sufficiency of Concentrated alcohol. The two solutions are then mixed together, and enough water is added to make up two pints of fluid. The best time for using the rerhedy is on goiug to bed. The solution is placed on a slow fire in an earthen or china vessel; the part affected with chilblains is then introduced into the fluid, and is to be kept there until the liquid becomes too hot to he borne. The part is then to be withdrawn, and dried by being kept near the fire, M hen the chilblains are ulcerated it is best lo diminish the quantity of iodine.
