~ Two and three O'Clock. The cooling rain refreshed
@sa fhe parehed earth, and made the atmosphere as
tlear as a brilliant Of the first water. The shower
M Ahas just long enough to be tedious, and just
M dense enough 70 stay within doors during the time
" hat u lasted. When the clouds had relieved
themselves Of their aqueous burthens, the glorious
W. sun came with redoubled ma -stv. and accord

Be- gave token Of a gOody day., not only to-day but

"A DoGs-Fhe authorities of The First Municipality
having taken vigorous measures for the total eXter
uuation Of all stray dogs thai may be found in the
4 streets without muZzles, do not why the
Fathers of the Second Municipality should not {" 90
and DO likewise" As a friend observed to US the
other day, one human life is worth more than all
the dogs in New Orleans and we think that he
was right in his conclusion. That dreadful that
incurabe malady, hydrophobia-the most awful Of
all the diseases known 10 acknowledgement spring
from the poisoned tooth Of 1nangey cur or a raven
Gus Bulldog.

currents and eddes Of the Mississippi, particularly

carcasses underneath the Wharves-of the different
Municipalities, and wheTthe river becomes low
tie heat of the sun, aided by the action of the
ter, the dead bodies of these animals to be
come very offensive AT the present time we should
take every precauuOn TO preserve the health OF the
city, and We hope that Conmssaries and others,
will hereafter strictly prohibit any and every per
son from throwing dead animal into the river.
