EVERY DOG HAS ins DAY.—A singular apparition
is now constantly witnessed along the highway of Clif'
ton—namely, a carriage, splendid in all its app
ments of horses, harness, coachman, footman, 80-1
driving about in the fashionable hour of the day, its sole
tenants being two handsome small white dogs, some'
what of the poodle breed, which look out at each will'
dow, with rert and important air, as if conscious ass
they were
" No puppies, mongrels, whelps, or hounds,
Or dogs of low degree,"
but " curled favourites of fortune," for whose conve'
nience or comfort no expense is spared. The owner of
the equipage, poodles, &c., is a lady of noble family,
who is so fond of her canine pets that even a carriage
kept as much for their accommodation as 'her own, let
it is driven up to the door, and when the lady herself le
unable and indisposed to go out, the footman will throw
down the steps, and the curled darlings, descending tb°
well• carpeted stairs, jump into the chariot in a style
only to be attained to by quadrupeds after long custom
and practice. The steps are then put up, the doer
closed, and the dogs driven off for their airing, return'
ing, with a brisk and self satisfied bark, the valedictory
band-waving of their benefactress in the balcony shovel

NEWS FOR ANGLERS.—Mr. D. Lipscombe, the
well- known angler, caught in the Teme, at Broadwas, on
Saturday, with an artificial fly, a fine salmon, l2ilb;
weight. The fish was taken with a common fly rod used
for trout fishing, after a gallant fight which lasted en_
hour and a half. This is the first salmon known to b!,./.7
been taken in the Teme with the artificial fly withinullro.
ing memory. The event was celebrated by a fewu $
thers of the angle dining off the prize, who were net ,
little elated at so good a commencement of the aRISOn
campaign.—On the same day a gentleman of this chi
caught in the Severn at Holt, while angling with the
worm, a splendid trout weighing 411 b., 1R the finest eon"
dition, measuring only twenty-two inches in its extreme
length. The fish was taken with a very small hook
(No. 8) attached to the finest gut. Last week, a trout
of a similar kind was taken in a trap at Powick Welrt
which weighed upwards of 51b.— Worcestershire ChNn't
AN AGED FROG.--A few days ago, as a. man et
the name of John Hally, of Abergavenuy, was in these
of sawing a large block of freestone, the saw came in
contact with some hard substance, which entirely r
sisted further progress. It was turned upside down, ell
the saw entered in an opposite direction, and after pre"
ceeding to within a few inches of the centre it enconn.
tored the same obstruction as before. After being cut 0
far as practicable on each of its four sides, a wedge sr°,
applied, when after a few strokes with a sledge hartune:
it burst asunder, and a living frog was discovered in
small cavity in the centre of the hard flinty substance
which had resisted the saw. The frog must have beell
confined there from a very remote period, without Air:
food, or light, as the stone is without any fissure or jell::
within at least two feet and a half of the place where l''
was enclosed. It is still alive, and appears much tc°l4
active than when first discovered.—Hereford Times.
FORTIFICATIONS OF HARWICH.—The means of de'
defence at thi, seaport are so exceedingly deficient as °
induce the military authorities to make a strong reprei
sentation to the Board of Ordnance on the necessity"
placing the defences on a more efficient state. It apper,
that there are ten 24-pounder guns on traversing Pew:
forms, and the only force to work them consists of
master gunner, one non-commissioned officer, and tbre.:
gunners of the Royal Artillery. In consequence of th.l
representation, an experienced officer of Artillery well
,10
is stated, be sent next week to examine the state of tit
defences, and report to the Bord of Ordnance what .
necessary to be done. It is expected that some
pounder guns, or others of heavier calibre, will ...Dv
mounted, and that a company of Royal Artillery will u"
stationed to take charge of them.—Essex Herald.

FEVER ON VIE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. —r e V
of the very worst kind, we are informed, has broken c,'„,
among the railway labourers employed on the Cal's
donian Railway, at the Cut at Evenhead. A greao
number of deaths have taken place. Some of the rur.,
inhabitants of the districts have been attacked with t
and in a shepherd's family on the farm of lieweleucV
four deaths have taken place during the last fortnigh;
The huts are not fit abodes for men. Let the director
look to this!—Glasgow Argus.
The mortality of London, and indeed, of Engittlit
generally, shows a gradual annual decrease, whilst it is Itef
known the population increases considerably-. The rates
premium for life insurance have been greatly reduced durirt
the last few years, yet the offices continue as prosperous:
formerly. These 'acts clearly demonstrate that some esll;,.
either unknown or unheeded, must have produced...t;d
favourable results. Amongst these causes, the inTsco-
knowledge of anatomy, and the many very valuable
veries in medicine, will stand most prominent. The 511169.
pox, that annually carried off thousands, has been sue
fully combatted by vaccination; and Gout, that used to clalL
its numerous victims, has been thoroughly vanquished w
Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. Of
