ducod, proving that il doath was not
caused by tho porGorution oftho stomach
by tho bot, It did cause death by choking
up tho passages lcuding to or from tho
stomach. This agrees with tho state.
ments Of tho best European writer's on
the disease of tho horse. Thus tho
Cyclopedia, issued by tho Society for the
Diffusion Of Useful knowledge, saws:
ain few instances, the bot has been dc.
cidedly injurious; fastening themselves
on the edges of the opening into the wind.
pipe they have produced a cough, which
no medicine could alleviate, aud which,
increasing with the growth Of the bot,
has ended in an IRRITATION laader which
the animal has sunk. They have also
travelled farther than the stomach, and
have irritaled and choted the first intes-
tine, and thus destroyed the horse; and
even in their natural habtation, under
probably some diseased state oil the stom-
ach, arising from other causes, they have
perforated it and caused DEATH" Mr..
Youatt, in his work on the Horse, says
the, bot ''cannot be removed by medicine,
because they are not in the part of the
stomach to which the medicine is usually
conveyed; and if they were, their mouths
are too deeply buried in the mucous coat
of the stomach, for any medicine that can
safely be administered to affect them,
and last o. all they will detach Them
selves and come away"
That the most useless or pernicious
methods are resorted to at times, for the
removal of the bot, is evident TO all who
are acquainted with the treatment to
which the horse is subjected in the hands
of the ignorant. A correspondent, in the
last volume OF the Cultiyator, mentions
an instance in which horse was killed
by turning boiling water from tea-ket-
tie down his throat TO cure an attack Of
the bots. That no substance can be Civ
en- as medicine, sufficiently powerful
to destroy the bot, or make him let go
his hold, that would not be fatal to the
animal, is evident from the following ta-
Bile of experiment. Is, which is copied from
the Medical Register, and which were
performed under the direction of Mr..
Green. The bots we're about two thirds
grown, were vigorous and active, and
were exposed to the action Of the several
substances, for the time stated.

Christ Healing The Sick.-The renown-
ed Painting, 50 distinctly known through
out the whole country, has returned again
to our city, and will be opened this day
and during the whole Of the week, at the
St. Louis Cathedral, in the first NUM-
cipality. The success attending its ex-
hibltion since leaving US, accordance with
tine announcement OF the press where it
has been, is unparalleled. The Mobil ians
mention 2l00 visitors being present in
one day alone, portion of which num-
Der were brought in eighty. one vehicles
of different descriptions. The place an
nounced for the present week will afford
easy access to thousands who have been
eager 10 behold the work, but who were
holding on until its removal TO the centre
oil the city.
The following is from the Mobile Ad-
UertiSer, Of late date:
Christ Healing in the Iemple--Yeste
day it is presumed that not less than one
persons visited this picture at
the New Methodist Church. We were
in the evening. Two lectures,
explanatory of the characters represen-
ted, were given, one at seven o'clock, an
other at eight. The whole OF the seats
were occupied a. each ofthese hours, and
if as many were atithe Church during the
daytime as we learn there was, not less
han fifteen hundred OF our citizens must
nave witnessed it on yesterday alone
We think this is match for the village
IF Poughkeepsie, New York, where thir-
cen hundred were supposed to be pre-
tent at Gone time. The proprietors tell
IS that every place they visit, the same
success attends them, in accordance to
he number of inhabitants. Sevsa weeks
md more have been spent in the city OF
-ew Orleans, at the Poydras street Meth

ORIGINAL SKETCH.

A TERRIBLE CUSToMER-A FACT. Some
little time since, an officer OF the law,
armed with an execution against gen
tleman Of the -ern part of the city
called at his residence, and knocking al
the door, it was presently opened by ne.
gro girl, and at the moment the officer
caught sight of the worthy object of
whom he was in search, as he suddenly
disappeared within an apartment con-
nected with the passage.

"No, sab, "replied the dusty Abigail.

The lady was called and presently ap-
peared at the door.
81 wish to see Mr.. - if you will be
good enough to call him, madam" said
the officer very cooIly she has just step
ped into that ROOM"
The lady exhibited moments coniu-
sion, but with becoming address turned
TO the apartment indicated, and in half
vexed and petulant tone, said: "George,
here's man wants you--why don't you
come at once"
"Ah, certainly my dear--l'm coming
waited forthcoming "ah, W, is
that you? What can you want with me,
eh?''
The officer slept towards him, and
lrawing out most ominous pocket book,
extracted the particular document and
handed it to the gentleman, who examin-
ID it, uttered something savage, mot loud
tut deep" ushered his visitor into the
'arlour, and retiring himself, observed
hat he would return in minute.
The minute elapsed, and two or three
more as usual, when Mr.. - re appear
ID in the apartment with full seized
,owhide in mis- hand, which to the worthy
oficer's Imagination, seemed 10 grow en-
ormously in length, as the exasperated
