TERRIFIC STORY.
liYDRorHoBIA.-About IA month ago,
dog belonging to Mr.. Fcnwick, George-st.,
Perth, gave symptoms of being in a rabid
state, by biting three or four of its own spc-
cics, without any thing like provocation, and
immcdiatcv thereafter fastened on a horse
| belonging to James RolIo, a licensed carter
in Bridgcnd. The aggressor, as well as
those he had attacked, with the exception
OF the more nobler animal, were drowned or
otherwise Killed with all convenient speed,
to save probable consequences. The horse,
line stallion, was bit on the upper lip but
the wound, which seemed trivial, soon heal
ed, and was quickly forgotten. On the
evening of Sabbath last, his owner, on going
into the stable, found him in rather fever
ish state, trothing at the mouth, and per-
spring copiously. This circumstance, how
ever, did not at the time bring TO mind any
recollection OF the injury done by the dog,
us natural causes might account for these
manifestations Of excitement. On Monday
morning, Rollo rose about four o'clock, TO
cart quantity of clothes to the NOrth-Inch
for bleaching. On entering the stable, he
was lmRediatcl y struck at by the horse and
on cssaJng to pat on the harness, the en-
ragged animal caught hold Of his left shoulder
with his teeth. BY diut Of superior strength
and tOritudc, however, he succeeded in en-

PERsEvERANCE.-The Chinese tell of one
Of their countrymen who had making been
strenuous efforts to acquire literary notoricty,
who discouraged by difficulties, at length gave
up in despair. As he returned to manual
labor, he saw a woman rubbing crobar on
stone on beng asked the reason, she replied,
she was IN want of "A needle, and thought she
would rub down the crobar till she got it small
enough. The patience ofthe aged female
encouraged him to another attempt, and he
succeeded in obtaining the rank of one of the
first three in the empirc.-Erchangc Paper.
This instance Of pcrsevcrance-as COM
mcndable as it is extraordinary -may be as
true as that the Celestial Empire is older by
some five thousand years than the rest of the
world but we should like to be informed,
iii it be legitimate matter Of inquiry,) how
old this "aged female" was when she COM
mcnccd rubbing down the crobar-and what
aye she was when the neddle was completed?

times tins varied in expresson-"A lady

complished young lady of fortune"
The following is the announcement of the
happiness of a printers daughter, under the
date Of July II, 1777:-" Last Tuesday

tlhe attentive consideration of our readers
sthe report ofMr. Tompkins of Vlcksbarg,
schairmnn of the committee to whom was
preferred bill proposing to release the
NVater Works Bank from its Obligation to
construct water works, and to permit it TO
construct instead thereof n cotton factory
ifor the purpose Of manufacturing cotton
lbagging, rope, &c. The report is the re.
SIlt OF much careful examination into the
.subjsct, aud contains fac,s whch if acted
,upon would rebound greatly to the inter.
,est Of this State in future. The author Of
the report did not insist on releasing the

contained in It's charter, and granting it
fbe privilege asked but merely on the
great Importance of establishing and sup
