SOMETHING FOR THE DocToRs. A journal
of Richmond, Eng. records the following case
of death under extraordinary circumstances
We copy it as a hint to medical men of some
interest and importance:
A policeman died in the Richmond hospital,
a few days since, from the effects of terri
Bile disease, after five days. illness. 1t is sup
posed the disease was communicated to him by
drinking water from bucket which carman
had been supplying to horse. After some
hours, the disease began to manifest itself, and
the unfortunate man was conveyed to Rich
mond hospital in state of great pain. The
medical men did not, for some time, understand
the nature of his complaint, but as the symp-
toms became more decided OIL rigid inquiry
they came to the conclusion that the patient
had "horse farcy," and in order to prove their
opinions horse was innoculated with some of
the matter taken from a pustule, and in short
time he died. There was post mOrtem exa-
mination held on the man by an eminent sur
geon of this city, who was so apprehensve of
disease that he performed the operation with
gloves on. Frightful as the external appear
ance of the unfortunate mans body was, the
internal was still more shocking; the stomach,
heart and liver being covered with ulcers, and
all in high state of inflammation. This is
amongst the very few unauthenticatcd facts,
which prove that the disease is communicable
to man.

THE PRESENT.

On! slight not the present-the past is 0rrayeG
In Gin and Indefinite mantle of SHADE;
Disturb not The calm of its Undiscovered plains,
Where glide the pale ghosts of lost pleasures and pains
The future! what mortal may pierce its thick cloud!
The future is wrapped in uncerLiinty's shfoud
Dark TRIALS, Keen cares, from that shr1gd may arise,
or It's secrets may nCer be disclosed thine eyes.
The present! oil! wish not its moments away;
4 talisman dwels in the might Of to day;
Past seasons are buried the future unknown,
But the bright sunny present, at least, is lne own,
seek not like vain houghcss MINISTRIES. to sing
on the blossoms and warmth of life : beautiful springs
WOO thee not lightly, TO while tie fleet hours
ia numbering sunbcams and gathering flowers.
NJ! fain would bid thee from haO Wedge impldle
Each DAY some new treasure o To thy store;
And gently some service or kindness mpart,
lie glad the worn fortune, or so0the The sad heart.
Each day may thy home and : 70 lri loved ties
Acquire fresh attraction and womb in thine eyes
Yet with strengthened devotion on God may'st thou
cali,
and feel that for Him thou could st part from them all
IbsS live, and thou wilt not in WEAKNESS cast
Thy gance from the present to picture the past,
Nor marvel what Carth'S mystic future may be,
Since Heaven hath in store bright future FOR thee.

The DGoUGHr. The severe drought expe-
yienced last Summer in the Island of Cubl
(says the Savannah Republican, seems to have
been transferred to this section of county,
There has been no rain of consequence in this
vicinity for three or four months past and the
same may be said of all the Counties South of
this. The crops are suffering to an extent me-
yer before known at this season of the year.
Those planters who have been so fortunate as
TO get their crops up, will most of them have
to replant, as it is almost entirely cut off. The
season Is now so far advanced that we fear an
almost total failure ofthe cotton and corn crops
in this section Of the country at least, unles,
rain should soon set in.

A HEAVY AND DREADFUL WAR MISSILE. A
new implement Of warfare of terrible efficacy
has just been devised in England by Professor
Bronson. 1t consists of liquid similar to al
chohol, in which the oxygen is replaced by ar
senIc. 1t ignites the moment it is exposed to
the air. If any vessel filled with it, like a glass
or iron globe, should be thrown upon the decks
or into the ports of ship, it would ignite the
moment the vessel struck any hard substance,
and the inhammabe liquid instantly would be
in blaze. The atmosphere at once becomes
filled with clouds Of white arsenic, by which
deadly poison is evolved and inhaled. Being
heavier than, and insoluble in water, it could
not be eXtnguished, and of course, it becomes
fatal to all within its influence. dreadful
implement in the art of war.

A Coon JOKE. The Boonsboro' Odd Eel
low tells good joke on one of the newly ap-
pointed magistrates in that neighborhood;
1t appears that he stepped into the Office Of
an acquaintance, and after conversing a little
observed that he saw George w. Smith, of
Hagerstown, was re-appointed Justice of the
Peace by Gov. Pratt. The other person told
him he must be mistaken-he however, insist
ed. that it was true, and added that he saw the
announcement in paper, and that it was an
crtra appointment, it not having come with the
regular list of appointments. The way the
Odd Fellows friend was led to err was, thro'
an advertisement Of Mr.. Smith in the Hagers-
town papers, in which he styled himself an Er-
Magistrate, he taking it for granted from this
circumstance that Mr.. Smith was an extra
Magistrate.

TIE Wreck OF THE SWALLOW. A cor
respondent of the Charleston Mercury, writing
from New York, gives some incidents Of this
terrible disaster which we have not elsewhere
seen in print. He says:
| have seen several of those who were on
board at the time of the accident, two Of whom
were taken out of the water in an unconscious
state. One of them was preserved by climbing
up the post that supports the upper deck, where
he held OIL to the rim of the deck, begging
those who were above to take hold of one OF
his wrists as he could not get over the edge; the
greater number passed him unheeded, but one
man told him "that he was dying Of cold If not
by drowning, and that if the young man below
would procure cloak which he pointed out,
he would help him up
The young man got the cloak with consid-
cradle difficulty and handed it up. The man
snatched it and walked off! The boat contn-
ued to settle until he could scarcely keep his
head above water. While in that situation, he
heard the lamentations of child probably
about three years old. 1t was suffering from
cold. lie tried to encourage its mother with
the hope Of speedy relief, but in the mean
time the voice Of tho child grew fainter and
fainter, and finally ended The mother said 1t
was asleep, and then her own voice gradually
waved fainter until it ceased, and no answer
was returned to his questions, and she probably
loosened her hold and sank into the water. A
feeling of torpor overcame him, and when re-
stored he found himself in Athens.
The other gentleman, being good swim
mer, attempted to swim ashore with a bag of
GOLD on his arm which had been entrusted to
him by young lady, and her sole property
The exceeding coldncss Of the water affected
him very soon, and he dropped the bag; after
ward his coat becoming saturated with water
he attempted to pull it off, and succeeded, all
but one sleeve, which resisted all his efforts
frem the swelling of the under coat. lie final
ly wrenched it open with his teeth, but the eli
fort was so exhausting that he lost all con-
seriousness until he found himself in 4 room at
Hudson, having been picked up by small
boat.
A clergyman told me that to him the most
shocking part of the accident was the dreadful
selfishness exhibited by all but some two or
three.
An old Quaker saved six or seven persons at
the peril Of his own life, while Il strong man
stood by without raising finger, cursng and
swearing at the children for making nosc.--
Another even left his wife and children to seek
his trunk! and they in the meantime were swept
away by the water.

TIE BAPTIST ANNIVERSARIES. The Bap-
fist Home Mission Society have decided upon
separation, the North from the South, and 4
committee has been appointed to report pro-
per plan. At the adjourned meeting of the So
ciety on Thursday, the question recurring on
DR.. WEIGHS resolution against employing
shareholders as missionaries
Rev. DR.. Maginnis ofNew York proposed an
amendment. He stated that division had al
ready taken place between the South and
North, and must be recognized. Delegates
present from the North say, that if the execu-
tive board shall appoint Shareholders to be mis-
sionales, they cannot sustain the society
Members in and from the South say, that
unless such appointments are made, they
will not sustain the society. 1t is not well
to adopt any measure, which shall seem
to any to violently repel US from por
ton OF the society. The separation propos-
ed can be made The present society shall
continue, the charter and the name being trans
ferred to Southern members, and they transfer
ring to new society in the North, whatever
CLAIMS or property the North may possess: or
the charter shall be retained by the North, and
all the rights of the South be duly regarded
and allowed This arrangement can easily and
satisfactorily to all parties be made.
A few remarks followed from different men,
bers, when the question on the amendment was
put, and by considerable majority, Mr.. Ma
ginniss amendment was adopted.

MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE IN New York. An
inquest was held in New York on Saturday,
ever the body Of William Lennon, all Irish
man, 40 years of age, who committed suicide
by blowing out his brains with pistol. The
Herald says
From the testimony Of Mary Rogers, and
another female it appeared that the deceased
was shoemaker, and occupied back room
on the first floor as sleeping apartment; that
he was of Il discontinued disposition, and many
tines declared that he was tired Of life, and
wished to die. The last that was seen of him
was on Tuesday or Wednesday last, and the
witnesses did not know whether he was in the
house or not. This morning, according to
their testimony, the landlord informed one of
the witnesses that he had let Lemons room,
and desired her to go and see if he intended to
move out. The witness and Mary Rogers,
finding the door locked got key from some
other part of the house and opened the door,
and there discovered the deceased lying upon
the bed, his head mangled and bloody, with a
pistol in his right hand. Upon the table were
two half sheets Of paper on one of which the
following letter was written to Mr.. McGarry,
the landlords
M. James Nc Garry:
Sr-As have this day taken bath, and
carefully washed my body, at the foot of Des-
brosses street, shall not be stripped, but bu-
RED as am dressed. My things here and at
Mr.. Young's you will dispose OF as you think
proper Yours, &c, sc. &c.
WILLIAM LENNON.
This note was written in a very legible hand,
and spelled correctly. Upon the other paper
the following poetcal extract was written--
Though long of winds and storms the sport,
Condemned in Indebtedness To roam,
Soon lhOu st.at reach a shclterIng port,
% "a quiet home"
long to lay my weary head
Aud aching heat beneath the soil,
TO sluniber III that dreamICsS bed
"From all my toll"
The coroner was unable to ascertain whether
the deceased was a man of family, or whether
he had any relatives. He was said to have
been temperate and industrious, The jury
found that he came to his death by shooting
himself with pistol.
