Mr.. IrcHAN talks Of '.the farce now acting
before the American people" We are glad
that ne has grace enough to make the ac
acknowledgement; his candor is the more com
mendabie since he performed so conspicuous
a part in the play. As eruent onsnes has,
however, been written under the late Cah

Hydrophobia Referring to a distressing
case of hydrophobia in New York, the Cou-
rier and Enquirer says. that it should always
be borne in mind, that healing wound made
by rabid animal, will in time produce n.y.
drophobia and death. 1t is recommended,
when bitten, to wash the wound well with
warm salt and water, TO scarIiy or cauterse
it, 10 keep it open by the Spanish fly pow
der, and thus to let it suppurate for nearly
three months Proper regimen and an easy
state of mind, in addition to the foregoing,
are said to be safe preventive.
n horrible case oil 0eatn from fyQfOph0oia
occurred lately in Ohio An old and very
respectable citizen of Pike County, Rcha d
Foster, ESQ. was bitten by his own dog, on
the Gath April, and died, with the worst symp-
toms, on the 7thinstant. The wound Of the
bite healed in short time, and no symptoms
of disease were felt until iorty one days after
wards. Gases of this description teach the
necessity Of precaution, particularly in the
cities and towns where dogs abound.
Harvest -TheWhe harvest in this neigh
borhood has just commenced here, fifteen to
twenty days later than last year. On the 18th
of June, 1850, new wheat was delivered IN
our mills. The crop of wheat in this section
of country has been improved some by the
late rains, but it must still be a very light
one, though the quality is said to be excel
len. -Lyachburg Vrguaian, J,me 20.
Wheat Crop.-Some engagements have
been made for Wheat of the new crop, to be
delivered in the early part of July, al 81 e5

by the demand for new flour for family use,
and unless the prospect for a foreign demand
should be increased the average price for the
new crop must be much lower.-lbtd.

neighborhood will commence cutting their
grain during the present week. The wheat
