TO A. B. Esq. Gentlemen, SO far from
being " dog cheap" as in the days Of
Elizabeth, are now scarcely to be found.
We recolect case, few days ago in
the Circuit Court of the United States in
this district, in which the defendant plead
ell in abatement, that he was not sued by
his proper title-as he was not a gentle
mar, but an Esquire and, alter somc
argument, it was adjudged by the Court
that he was 10 gentleman; and the
plaintiff had leave to amend, and call him
Esquire.
In Virginia they understand this mat
ter better. They speak of their dis,in-

James Monroe--as the Romans would
speak Of PauIus E,nilius or Caius Grac-

has induced me to satisfy you in relation
to myself. ! was bit by mad dog in

use of scull-cap, after having beer in one
stage of bydrophobia. A confirmation
Of the use ofany weed, particularly such
an one as so plentifully as the scull-cap
among our hills and dales, must, think,
be hailed with some degree ofrespec, by
the human family; but how much more
grateful mustI feel to him with whom
This all important discovery originated,

case. will simply state it to you:
/ Aboutthe middle of May last,I left
this place for Baltimore, via Alexandria

| I visited wharf at which lay the George
Town packer; (this was on Friday the
25th of May.) In passing along the
wharf, a large dog ran towards. and bit
me severely in the leg. felt some

generally Elieyed, that the dog was not

the advice Of some friends, /! procured,

than usual, ! commenced drinking the

which had received. On the morning
lof the 9th day after l was bit, l arrived
| at Mr.. Allen Dorsey's, Poplar Spring,
Md. ON nay way home from Baltimore;
on sitting down to breakfast, Mrs. Dor

like spasms over my whole system. In

scribe my situation than ! can. After
some time, became more al ease, and
had some of the scuIl-cap prepared,
which drank with difficulty. Not in
the habit ofdrnking any thing stronger
than walcr,I asked for some good wine,
which obtained, and forced myself to
drink Of i; copiously. After some stay,
I pressed towards home, but ncxf morn
ing fasting as usual, drank the scull-cap
