his paper to be sent to him in his isolated soil

excluded from this world, its flowers, its joys

me to create world for myself A world

that can raise up beautiful visions that will

ecuted and, too, that it may assist me in

The Testimony of Flint.

The Gardiner Fountain has an article in re-
lation 20 Flint's testimony, from which we ex-
tract the following:
In glancng over the whole testimony, and
re-readng the qualified statements of Mr..
Flint one point has fixed itself deep in our
minds, and we doubt not in the minds of all
our readers. 1t is this: Mr.. F., according to
his o,on statements, when called to aid the DR..
in secreting the body, and when informed that
Mathews had fallen, &c., &C., never once eS-
pressed surprise at the Dr.s course, in the
treatment of the body to a Ratchet upon the
head or at the strange suggestion, that, be-
cause a man had fallen dead he, (the Dr.
would be suspected of having murdered him;
and that, on that account he had struck him.
to give the body the appearance Of having
been murdered Was not the sohoIe case
which presented itself to Mr.. F., when he was
irst locked into the room with the dead body,
by the Dr., one of passing strangeness-one
which could not have failed to at once have
excited, in any ordinary innocent mind, the
deepest conviction that there had been foul
playi And yet Mr. F. does not seem to have
once thought, if we may credi! his statement,
that the DR.. was guilty"
For our part, we think that Flnts testimo-
nv bears marks of truth. Had he been other
wise implicated, than what he was by his own
statement, he would have naturally told how
bad he felt-how much the Doctor urged him
to assist him out of the affair, and how at last
he was prevailed on by the tears and entrea-
ties of Coolidge. Rut we have none of this.
He tells plain, simple story; he does not at
tempt to tell what his own feelings were; but
there were one or two things which dropped
from him that gives us an idea of what he
must have felt He says that after the DR..
had informed him of Mathews death, that he
sat down in chair, and that when Coolidge
asked him what he should do with the body
he replied he did not know; and that they
then sat few moments. without anything be,
ing said. This was stated accidentally ana
evidently without design. but it shows that
Flint was almost overpowered. No WONDER
then, that he should not, under such circum-
stances. be able to decide what was the best
course for him to pursue, and that he should
assist in removing the body.

Hydrophobia.

Hiram Haines, Esq, of Swanville, In this
State, writes to the Belfast Journal that the
dogs in that vicinity are afflicted with the hy-
drophobia. The Journal also states, on the
authority of Mr.. Trip, of Searsport, that
rabid dog was lately killed in that town.
There has been some discussion in the papers
lately as to whether a real case of hydropho-
bia ever occurred in New gland-some pro-
Tossing to doubt it. Several cases, however,
have been cited, which fully establish the fact
And in addition to these, we would state, on
the authority of some aged persons, who were
knowing to the fact, that some forty years ago,
a man in Linesboro', N. H., was bitten by
dog, and died in few weeks, with all the
symptoms of this fearful disease. A cow, Bit
ten by the same dog, also went mad. AS the
disease appear to be extending, we think it
proper to again warn people to be careful
