The late English papers, (says the Bos-
ton Couriery contain several accounts Of
the distress occasicned by tho poison OF
dogs supposed to be rubid. The Londcn
Morning Herald Of June /, contains sew
cral articles upon the subject, the general
opinion Of which seems to be, that the an
irnal should be banishcd entirely from thu
city. Upon this point one Of the writ.
makes the following remarks, which, in
our view, nre very reasonable:
"It is proper to observe, that immedi'
ate cutting out of the bitten part, by the
surgeons knife, is the only remedy. Pre-
vention is better than cure, and in this
case it is easy. Dogs, however useful in
some situations, nre wholly useless in
towns. Exterminate them. Against thi,
cry will go forth from all dog owncrs;-
they will condemn the measure, as pro.
cccdins from barbarian; but they are tho
barbarians who keep animals subject to ,
disease jaialto human life. Such persons
80 far from being entitled To voice a
gainst its execution, merit abhorrcncc ant
contempt, for daring to propose that ever,
man, woman and child among their friend
and neighbors, should run the risk of
cruel death for tho qualification Of selfish
ness. But would you deprive the "poo
man of his dog'" Yes. The poorer h
is, the less occasion has he for dog, ant
the less ability he has to maintain the ami
nal. Few poor men in io,cns keep dogs
but for the purpose Of making matches t
fight them, drawing badgers, batting bull
with them, or otherwise brutally misem
ploying them. An act of Parliament, in
flicting heavy penalties for keeping dog
in towns, and empowering constablcs
bcadles, street keepers and others, wit
rewards for carrying it into effect on eve
ry dog found wandering about, would Pu
an end to that most terrible Of disorders
lHydrophobia."

DARING ROBBERY.

The Providence Journal of Monday
last says" One Of our most respectable
citizens, vile attending tho performance
ut the Theatre ON Friday evening, was
robbed ofhis pocket book, containing six
thousand dollars, in bills Of tho Branch
Bank Of the U. s. in this place. The
money was drawn from the Bank on that
day, in bills offrom 5 to 10 dollars. S.:.,
dry notes and papers We're also in the
pocket book, which may possibly lead to
a recovery ofthe money. A reward OF
i've hundred dollars has been offered for
the recovery Of the bills and notes We
have no recollection ofso great an amount
of money being stolcn from any individual
in this town; and trust that our citizens
will cndcavor to assist the officers of JUS
tice in all legal measures for the arrest ol
tho guilty"
The Journal Of Thursday last, says
the pocket book, together with tho note
and papers therein, Of which Mr.. Mantcn
was robbed, was retured to him on Mon
day iast ihro' the Post Office, tho mon
ey being NIL taken out. The pocket-book
was incloscd in letter sheet addressed
to "Mr. Henry Mnnton, Providence" J"
On the inside was written, without date or
signature" The Book Send back but
the money / Shall Cecp." There does
not appear to have been any attempt TO
disguise the hand writing, which is per-
iectly plain.

About ten days ago an awful gale Of
