A New way to Cure Chills

--Miraculous Escape from Death.--It is stated that a soldier of a Mississippi regiment, at Pensacola, went to his tent and blankets the other day to fight through an ague. A bottle of hot water to put to his feet not being convenient, some of his comrades went out and picked up one of the numerous shells Col. Brown sent over during the bombardment, heated it at the fire and put it to bed with the sick man's feet. Unhappily, the shell had lost its cap, but had not exploded. The heat of the camp fire accomplished what Lincoln's pyrotechnic had failed in — to wit: an explosion. The tent was blown to pieces, and some of the men a little hurt and greatly astonished.--We are happy to learn that no one was killed by the mishap.--Mobile Advertiser.
