HYDRopHoBn.-We are willing to unlearn
our follies, numerous as they are but it re-
quires evidence to convince us of facts. A
writer in the New York Inquirer says:
The existence of such disease as hydropho-
bia is denied by the most intelligent and best
informed physicians of all schools. That death
does ensue from the bite of dog, and that such
a death is preceded by peculiar symptoms, he
admits, but such symptoms are the same as
those accompanying lock7jaw, and may be
brought on by wounds from any cause, and by
long exposure to cold, by sudden check of per-
spiration, by bruises, sc. The belief, he says
that dogs can communicate their madness by
bite, is one of the most obstinate superstitions
of the age, and a wound from a dogs bite
is no more to be feared than wound from any
other cause.
This disease has so often succeeded the bite
of rabid dog, as to present at least remark
able coincidence and we would advise all pru-
dent people still to get out of the way Of any
such animal.

HANDSOME MoNUmENT.-In FORMULATING q
few evenings ago st. Patrick's Graveyard in
the northern part of this city, we noticed seve-
raj new monuments, most of which bore evident
marks of skill and judgment on the part of the
workmen who had prepared and erected them.
One recently erected by Mr.. w. A. Griffith to
the memory of "Mary Ann Allen" attracted
our attention. 1t is chastely ornamented and
well executed. On the white marble obelisk
the word Mary" encircled with wreath of
lilies and roses, is inscribed in handsome let
tiers. At the foot Of the grave there is mar
BILE pedestal, on which rests lamb in recum-
bent posture. The design and execution of
this monument are alike creditable to Mr.. Grit

A PLEASANT RETREAT.-Charlest Jeffer-
son county, Va, is easy of access from the
Atlantic cities, is q pleasant, healthy town sur
rounded by magnificent country, and having
q population in and about of the most attrac-
tive kind. A correspondent writes to US:
To those of your readers seeking change of
air during the warm season, and who might
wish to be within few miles distance of the
Shannandale Springs, during the visit of the
President of the United States, the following,
from the Spirit Of Jefferson, published at Charles
town, Va, may be interesting:
alt is the general remark of the traveller that
two such hotels as Sappingtons and Carriers
are not to be found in any other village OF the
same population as Charlestown. Dust-bound
denizens of eastern cities cannot find a more
retired and at the same time attractive spot for
a few weeks vacation from business than in our
town, and we can assure them that our popular
hosts have vands in store that will vie with
those to be found on the tables at any of the
popular watering-places of the day."

CONFUSION WORSE CONFERENCE.-The recent
post-offce laws presented general mass of
confusion; the present, perfect chaos. Post
masters have to determine between thirty-six
different conditions in sending every newspaper,
embracing distances which they have no means
of ascertaining by any post-offce document.
Letters, if not fully paid by stamps, are retained
in the Office where they are deposited, with no
means of informing the depostor. Circulars
if in two half-sheets instead of one sheet, re-
quire double payment.
The following incidents occurred few days
since in the case of one depositor: A letter was
supposed the distance to be more than FIVE hun
dred miles, which proved to be mistake.
Several circulars were retained for the same
reason some of them also by the mistake of
the postmaster. Several other circulars were
retained because they happened to be in two
pieces of paper, though both weighed less than
half an ounce. Suppose letter containing
draft for some business house in Cincinnati
should be sent from Washington, paid by
three-cent stamp, and the postmaster, under
the impression that the distance was more than
Ave hundred miles, should retain it. The result
might be the protesting Of note, and the fail
ure of prosperous business establishment
The post office, which our laws claim to be a
money making establishment, at least to pay
expenses, is truly conducted OF most enight-
ened and profound principles OF commerce.
How could merchants better ensure their sue
cess than to take course of lessons on business
from the post-office management? Postmasters
could certainly give lessons on labyrinths, pa
thence and endurance, which no merchant ever
dreamed Of
A good law was asked for, but bad one has
been given. The people, as usual, were in adj
vance of their law makers.
