No. it’s not disease—it’s awful canine-mad- ness, and death without the hope of eseape in {ts most horrible form. Better that every dog in Christendom should die than one human life be lost. Let our ony guardians take this patter in hand forthwith. ‘ Several days ago, a friend kindly sent to us the following extract from the Columbian Magazine for 1789: «There is nothing, perhaps, so much to be dreaded as the bite of a mad dog; for the poi- son is so very infectious and penetrating that it takes effeet through the clothes, without fetehing blood; by the breath of the animal drawn inte the lungs; by a touch of the tooth, if recent, and applying it to the lips or tongue when it has been long dried : by handling the wound or instrument which was the death of the animal ; or by handling things which have been infected by any of the former means. This is due to the sensibility of the absorbent yeassels. + To prevent the fatal consequences that toe often attend these accidents, the following. * which is the famous East India specific. is ree- ommended to be given ia a glass of brandy. « Take native cinnabar and factitious cin- nabar, of each, twenty-four grains, and of Make it into a powder, and e, as it was given in the fol- ive it in one wing case = ; “A poor man was bitten by a mad dog, and after using divers medicinés, was invaded by astrong hydrophobia, and being confined in Greenwich, was treated with the above medi- cine as follows: His teeth being forced asun- der with a knife, he took one dose; three hours after the hydrophobious symptoms were abated. He swallowed a second dose, which by next morning almost totally recovered him. le took a third dese in a fortnight; a fourth, in a month after; and never felt any more of the hydrophobious symptoms * - D. ————E New Way to Pay O_p Denrs.—Yesterday, two young men, who had just arrived at the Centre Market space. began to quarrel about five dollars, which one wanted to obtain from the other.

The alarm was given, and many per- sons ran to the spot, bui their streuuous exer- tions did not save the buildirg. The fire spread to the large cottage adjoining, which was somewhat damaged The fi:st named building was tue property of Mrs. Humphreys. but what the loss will ameunt to we have not heard.

This was before the election, when it was important for him to secure votes on both sides to be elected to the Councils, and to accomplish which he was willing to bé “all things to all men.” The reasons which impelled me to resist the action of the Know Nothings in the Board of Aldermen, were, that I believed the committee had their minds made up to give the seat to Dr. Busey. right or wrong: I also believed, and still believe, that Mr. Fitzpatrick was chiseled out of his seat by the Know Nothing judges, in throwing cut legal naturalized votes, and toking the votes cf Know Nothings imported from the Sixth Ward.

Beers & Co : Gents—Consider- ations et to the afflicted alone prompt me to send you this voluntary testimonial to the great value of “Carter's Spanish Mizture,?? for that aimost incurable disease, Scrofuia. Without being disposed or deeming it necessary to go into the particulars of the case, I can say that the astonishing results that have been pro- duced by the use of that medicine on a member of my own family, and under my own observation and ‘superintendence, after the skill of the best physicians had been exhausted and all the usual remedies had failed, fully justify me in recom- mending its use to all who may be suffering from that dreadful malady. Ido not mean to say that it is adapted to all constitutions, or that it will afford the same relief in ajl cases; for, of course, I can know nothing about that—but of what I have seen of the effects. 1 would not hesitate to use it, in any and every case of Scrofula, with persons for whom I felt an interest, or over whom | could exercise influence or control.
