Not long since highly respectable gentle
man of New Jersey, then III London, had an IN
terview with Rothschild. Among other re-
remarks made was this" When you return to
the United States" said the capitalist tell Pre-
sident Jackson, from me, that he has done more
bv his financial measures to ruin the credit of
the United States in Europe, than war often
years."-Phil. Chron.
Hydrophobia late David Lithgow, on
Sunday morning, the 10th March, sent for his
family physician and complained pain across
the shoulders and tightness ofthe chest, together
with general soreness, such as is common al
ter a sudden check of perspiration. The ply
sician AFTER as he supposed sufficient eXamna-
ton of the case. had reason to conclude the in
disposition to be of this character, and prescrlb-
ed accordingly. In the course of the afternoon
such symptoms developed themselves as lnduc-
ed friend of the deceased to request the at
tendance ofthe physician again in the evening.
Being favored in his evening visit with the COM
pany of two medical friends, they were all i'm
pressed with the idea that Mr.. Lthgow's present
symptoms were the result of the bite Of some ra-
bid animal. To the inquiry which was then
made, whether he had been bitten by dog with
in the last year, he replied in the negative On
reflection. however, he stated that, some time
last fall, say six months ago, he had been bitten
on the thumb by small dog that was found be-
hind some barrels at his door, one evening when
he was about shutting up his store for the night
The fatality of the case was now abundantly
manifest With the aid ola powerful opiate, the
urgent symptoms were so far mitgated that the
medical gentlemen, when leaving him at four
o'clock in the morning thought they had some
faint grounds for hope-which, alas! they were
compelled to abandon, on their return at nine
i'm the morning 1t was then thought proper, on
the part of the physicians, neither Of whom had
ever seen case of the kind, to send for the best
medical advice our city could furnish, with the
expectation that some one might have come in
contact with this deadly disease in the course
of their long and varied practice, and that an eX-
perience thus gained might be rendered avail
able in the present case. Every measure, how
ever, proved unsuccessful; and, after enduring
the most agonzng suffering, from Sunday, at
noon, until Tuesday, the 18th, about the same
hour he eXpired.-Phil. Inq

y. S. Bank-Van Buren, and Marcys petit
ton for Branch of the u. S. Bank at Albany,
creates prodigous sensation up the river, and
wherever it has reached 1t has astounded the
people, considering the violent assaults made
on that institution by these very men. The in
dignation is general, that the people should be
called upon to crush the monster by the very
men who were petitioning Nicholas Biddle to
grant Branch at Albany for their own accom-
mediation But it is all in character-they have
neither principle nor consistency left. The pc
tition should be every where printed.

7ragical Epent.-The following tragical sto-
ry ofa Mormon preacher is given by the editor
ofthe Independent Messenger on the authority
of gentleman from the Western part of the
state of New York. We shall expect to see it
authenticated by the western papers, if it be
true.
In town where the delusion had made nu-
merous converts the disciples were summoned
to assemble in wild place, circumjaceat to
pond, on the water of which, a gifted elder an
nounced that he should walk and preach. The
believers notified their doubling friends, and
great things were anticipated But it seems
there were few wicked Lamantes, who Sc
cretly set themselves to make mischief ChOOS- |
