" Considerable excitement was crea-
ted in this place on Tuesday morning by
the appearance in Market street of rabid
dog. He came in from the turnpike and
passed through the street 10 the river and
thence TO the corner of Broadway and
Whortelberry, where he was shot. In his
course he bit eight or ten of the canine
race, and several persons narrowly escaped
him. All the dogs known 10 have been
bitten were promptly shot by their owners
Hydrophobia has been prevailing among
the dogs in several of the adjoining coun-
ties, and too much precaution can not be
taken against the propagation Of this terri
Bile disease. The borough Councils have
ordered all dogs running at large TO be Sc
curely muzzled, underth penalty of death
in case of noncompliance.

" NUIsANcEs.-The bridge over the
Gut on the Centre turnpike is so badly con-
s,ructed as TO endanger the lives and limbs
of all passengers. The embankment at the
eastern abutment is too steep and too mar
row. This deficiency has existed for a
number of years and has been increased
at every flood. Now it is almost impassa-
Bile. Every one is complaining Of this
nuisance, except the proper officers.
Broadway is disgustingly disfgured by
boardples, heaps of coal, shingles, and the
skeleton OF a house. All these are OBJ
structions of the public highway aud ought
TO be removed. Part OF nearly ali of the
streets and alleys, are obstructed by heaps
of ashes, manure, old vehicles and rubbish.
1t is the duty OF the supervisors TO remove
all of .hese, at the expense of the owners
Of the adjacent lots, or Of the persons who
placed the Instructions in the streets. 1t
is also the duty Of the Grand Jury 10 pre-
sent these officers for neglect OF duty. Either
remedy will work a cure.
10 ARTHUR STRING, indicted for the
murder of Ellen Lynch in Southwark, a
few weeks ago, has been convicted Of muir
der in the first degree.
Since the rendition of the verdict il has
been ascertained that a man named Charles
M'Quilan sat as Juror in the case in The
place OF Bernard Corr, who was regularly
summoned. M'Quilan was present during
the whole term answering TO the name oil
Corr. This irregularity will discharge the
prisoner from that indictment. He will
no doubt Immediately be tried for the mur-
der Of Mrs. Shaw, the sister of Mrs. Lynch
The Court sentenced M'Quilan to sixty
days Imprisonment for the contempt, and
fined Corr thirty dollars, as a delaulting
juror. The Court expressed their regre,
that the law did not allow heavier fine
and severely reprimanded both of the par
ties.
