Ec'raordiaary Instance y Canine Sagaeity.
We have seen and read many instances OF the
almost incredible approaches to human reason by
the dos-bu; few more astonishing than one
which recently occurred.
A gentleman, who had been residing several
week, at West Point and kept his dog,a fine set
ter. there. went with HIM few days since as far
as Newburg. in the steamboat, aud carried him
thence about twenty miles into the interior,
where he left him in charge of servant. On
'Wednesda, last the animal was missed-and al
ter having fruitless search made for him. was
gwen up as lost Hi, owner. IN going up the
river Oh Saturday. was told by gentleman that
the dog was at West Point and it was afterwards
discovered that he had found his way to New
burg, & hung about the Hotel where his master had
put up, until the boat from New York made its
appearance at the wharf. Discovering the d.
rection of the vessel, he returned to the house,
and when the down boat" arrived. he delber-
ately got on board and took his passage for Coz.
zen's Hotel, and upon landing. made his way
to his old quarters. 1t is worthy
Of remark, that he had been but once before to
the place whence he escsped.-& r standard.

Mr. Editor frequently hear it remarked,
that the cholera is doing great things for the cause
Of Temperance. l believe 1t; and believe,
moreover. that twelve months hence. the con-
SUMPTION Of ardent spirit will not be- half what It
was twelve months ago. The Great Judge OF the
earth appears to have taken the matter into his
own hand, with determination to destroy the
greatest obstacle that exists to the progress and
influence Of true religion Every argument and
motive that could be presented to the minds OF
those who consume, and those who distribute the
destructive thing, had before been used; but. in
great measure, in vain. Men would still per-
si,t with the greatest obstinacy, in the practice
of that which is the most fatal. But now they
are warned, in voice too awful to be disregard
ed. to touch not to handle not. they value life,
or fear the consequences of death. do, indeed,
trust that revolution is dawnng upon US; and
that He Who brings good out of evil, will not have
sent his scourge among us in vain. Z.

The above Report is nearer the truth, we be-
lieye, than any we have yet had, the cases hav-
ing been more generally reported by the Phys'-
Clans But it is still necessarily defective, and
the deaths at least are more numerous than re-
ported.
Ii should be understood, that the principle up
on which the Board of Health acts in reporting
new cases, is, as We understand, to consider eve.
nv case as Cholera, which, in the opinion OF the
phvs ician, would. If unattended to in time, have
terminated as Asiatic Cholera.
We have comparatively few cases of Bilious
Fever this year; which, %e believe, is attribute.

to have ceased its ravages in our Borough, for
the few sporadic cases which have occasionally
occurred within the last or days have yield.
ed to medicine, aud proved wha, has been assert.
ed by Doctor Chapman, that with early atten-
ton aud skiliul treatment the disease is more
manageable than some other epidemcs Of less teri
BILE celebrity. II there is more sickness in town
now than is usually found at this season, it is
mainly owing to the circumstance that many "a
miles who had removed to the adjacent country
TO escape the cholera, have returned--tor the
benefit of their Health, most of them having been
at a'ked 6y bilious and intermittent fevers.-
Among those who remained all the time at
their posts we scarcely hear of any sickness.
II is expected that the Board of Health will
not longer than the present week continue their
daily reports ofiuterments; indeed we can scarce
" discern a necessity for them now, as the cpl
demic is no longer formidable, and not more IA
tai than many other diseases which commonly
prevail at this season throughout the country.

BALTIMORE. September lst, 1882.
To the Sisters Of Charity.
have hereby the pleasure of transmitting 70
you Resolution, passed unanimously by the CT.
ty Council of Baltimore.
1t is with no ordinary satisfaction that l am
privileged in their behalf TO offer to you the sim
cere thanks of the Corporate authorities of the
city of Baltimore, for your disinterested manifes-
tation Of benevolence in undergoing the great
est privations, and voluntarily extending your
invaluable services in comforting and relieving
our INDECENT fellow-citizens, under the present
affecting dispensation of Providence. We are
sensible that the pures. purpose actuates your
hearts, that the nobIest designs influence your
conduct. and that the faint commentator Of man
is but as dust in the balance in contrast with the
more exalted favor Of Him who seeth not as man
seeth. At the present peculiar crisis, however,
when pestential epidemic is ravaging our coun-
try, when apprehension had seized the minds OF
many individuals, and when lew could be found
who would subject themselves to the sacrifice or
incur the hazard Of attending to our hospitals,
you came forward aud rendered your services
showing a self devotion and religious charity
that demand especial praise, and confer an obll-
CATION inestmab'e in Importance.
Since, however, the resolution received the
una nlnous concurrence of the COunci,a crcum.
stance has interviewed which occasions the most
painful emotions. ailude to the death Of Sis
ter Mary Frances, who has fallen a martyr in
the holy cause 10 which she was engaged. and is
now resting from her labor, and her works will
follow her.
To behold life thus inundated in so sacred a
cause produces rather sensation Of awe than Of
sorrow, a sentiment of resignation to the Almigh-
ty fiat, rather than useless regret at the aflct-
Ing event.
Such, therefore, must be the feelings Of all in
the case of Sister Mary Frances, and we submit
without murmur.
Accept then the tender of our deepest sympa-
thy for the loss you and our city have sustained
by the departure of your Sister. aud receive the
most unfegned expressions Of our acknowledge.
ments for the kindness you have rendered our
fellow-citizens, in your opportune suecor at the
present fearful period
