DrscRIMrNATIoN.--Jog tells story of a
physician in this city who was called during
the fever to patient. Among other reme-
dies he prescribed blister plaster, which
he left and ordered to be placed on the
young mans chest. On calling next morn
ing to see him, he asked of course how the
blister had operated.
'Pretty wcll,' expect, said the nurse in
attendance.
'Well, you erpect" exclaimed the doctor
don't you know? Hav'nt you seen him?
ooh Lord yes-be sure ! have, but don't
kaow any thing about the blister, SAID the
nurse.
Let me see the patient was the impa'
tient demand.
The doctor approached the bed-lifted
the covering from the patient, and behold
there was his chest as white and pure as
ever.
Where's the blister' demanded the ply.
sician.
'Here 'tis,' said the nurse, pointing
to corner of the room. "The young mar
hadn't any chest, so ] put it on his trunk

WILD ANIMALS On Sunday evening
last, as young man of this town was re-
turning from Covington, he heard the terri
fic scream of panther, and on looking up,
saw one ofthose dangerous animals perched
on the limb of tree nearly over his head,
making every preparation for pounce up
on HIM. His horse lnstinctively sprang for
ward, and the panther struc, the ground
several feet behind him, and followed the
horse and rider upwards of mile before he
relinquished the chase. A great number of
bears have also left their former baunts and
paid visit to this vicinity. One was caught
a few days ago..-Piqua Cou. Nov. 2.

FIREs---INcENDIARIEs.---The frequent
occurrence of fires in the cities of the Un-
ion, and the certainty that many of them
are the work of incendiaries, has directed
the thoughts of many towards the discove-
ry of the means by which this terrible
scourge may be prevented. There is one
mode, which we do not recoect to have
seen suggested, which would, We believe,
we'll repay the trial. Shut up the grog.
shops and gambling houses, and abate as a
nuisance every harbor of guilt and vice, and
when those schools of sin and iniquity are
gone, the herds of black-legs and despera-
does that frequent their precincts will be
obliged to emlgrate or turn honest men. 1t
is under the influence of spirituous liquors
that most of the high crimes are perpetra :
ted. 1t is rum that turns men to brutes and
small rogues to fends and ncendiaries; and
it is the grog shops that infame and the
gambling shops that put the crowning eli
max upon the desperate, and fit HIM for the
destruction of himself or others, just as
the course ofhis delirium happens to turn.

The following lust and sensible remark

The following just and sensible remarks
are from the New Orleans Picayune.
Those persons who are so confident of" ma
king their fortunes" by going south. will
do well to read the following reflections,
coming as they do from source entitled to
the fullest credit:-.uichigan City Reg.
HINTS TO STANGERs. AS the season is
now at hand when the annual influx of
strangers into New Orleans take rlace, we
have thought it advisable to say few words
on the subject, thinking that the truths we
are about to state may prove beneficial TO
some of our distant readers. II Is a well
known fact that far greater number of
young men flock to this city in pursuit of
situations every fall than can find employ
ment at any salary. And after a sickly
summer, such as the last has been, this in
flux is far greater than it is after healthy
summer--they thinking, probably, that the
city has become depopulated, and that all
they'h to do is To raise money enough
to pay their passage here, when they can
take choice of theft situations at high sa-
larry. Blu: this is not so--New Orleans ge-
nerally contains sufficency Of native and
acclimated young men to supply the wants
of capitalists and business people, and such
are always peferred to unaccclimated stran-
gers, astheir duties are not liable to be in
terrupted by sickness; they are also well
acquainted with the general routine of bu.
siness, and when they cannot transact it in
one language they can in another. French
is spoken here nearly as much as English.
The above observations are intended for
clerks and others in similar line. They
will also apply to certain extent ofmechan-
les and citizens. As a safe rule for all
classes, we will advise no poor man to come
to New Orleans with the idea that he can
Immediately obtain profitable employment.
or IN fact any employment at all. Fss
In corroboration of the sincerity of our
statements, we annex few remarks from
the Louisville G'zctte on the same subject.
The editor Mr.. Marshall) has resided here,
as will be seen, and of course speaks know
ingly on the subject. He says,
"We have ourself seen, in what was
termed the busy season, young men who
had sought New Orleans with the expec.
tation Of getting into business and finding
lucrative situations at once, sadly dsap-
pointed--their hopes withered-tbeir mo-
ney all gone-without friends--perhaps
few, very few acquaintances, and they
mostly in the same condition--wanderin
about the streets nJlevee. lstlessly and ab-
solutely sinking with want. We have
seen them almost bootless finding theirway
through their worn-away soles, and al
though our sympathy made our heart heavy,

New IDEA.-"Captain," said New
York cockney to friend of ours, last week,
while standing on the hurricane deck of a
steamer, coming down from Maysville.
"Captain, think our eastern pilots are
much better than yours in the west; deci-
dedly superiaw." -
"Why so," says the Captain.
"Why, yours steer very crooked, first
one side and then on the other; but ours
always keeps straight down the bay. ] al-
wise you to send on for one who can make
the boat stay in the middle of the rivaw."

The first Methodist Church in America,
says the N. Y. Express, was erected in
1776, we believe in John street in this city,
and is still occupied by that body. AT that
period there were about 100 Methodists in
the United States. AT the present moment
they number upwards of seven hundred
thousand members. The number of minis
tiers exceed 5000, and local preachers 5000.
