BLooDHouNDs IN ENGLAND - Bloodhounds
have been used in England several times lately
to aid in the capture of sheep stealers, under
the direction of the police. This seems a dan
gerous and inhuman course, for which the crime
committed affords but an inadequate justifca-
ton. The manner in which the hounds are
used may be gathered from the following re-
marks of the Sussex (England) Express, in no.
ticing recent capture of sheep stealers by
police superintendent Altar:
"This is the second capture this active officer
has made within the past three months A few
weeks ago the same parties stole sheep from
Mr. Bettsworth, of the same parish, and Mr..
Smith and his bloodhounds were sent for. The
latter ran from the spot where the sheep was
killed, through the most remote valleys in the
neighborhood, a distance of three miles, causing
great sensation to the guilty gang. They ulti-
mately arrived at cottage occupied by a shoe
maker, when the gallant huntsman was accosted
by the paralyzed inmate as to what his business
was there He was informed of the nature Of
his visit The blocdhounds tried to make on
entrance to their prey through the thatch on
the roof of the cottage. The door, however
was opened, search was made, and part Of
the sheep found in the house. The prisoners
were subsequently apprehended and committed
for trial.

SUPPOSED MURDER IN GoooHLAND COUNTY.
The editorial correspondence Of the Penny Post,

coroner's inquest was held on the previous day
over the body of Robert Smith. of Richmond,
who was found dead under some pine bushes, on
the path which leads from the Court House to
Cedar Point. Every thing seemed to indicate
that the unfortunate man had been murdered

GR1sr AND MARIo.-In speaking of the per-

Sth the New York Tribune says; u.
There seemed to be but one sentiment respect
ing the grand dramatic action of Madame Grisi
The Opera as q whole was an unequiyocal
triumph; and if the houses go on improving as
they now seem to be by this last evidence, there
may be no cause why Mr.. Hackett should let
the yocalists throw up their engagement, which
they are ready to do at the end of next week if
he requires it. This is no baseless rumor, but
the fact If their efforts to please, such as have
esta blished their reputation in Europe and sns-
tanned it during the last season, until within
one month past, are not adequate to the require
ments of the city, it seems that there is no de-
sire on their part to remain to the disadvantage
of Mr.. Hackett The public must remember
that the Opera is very extensively rendered,
and much extra remuneration is required to
sustain it. 1t is worth certainly more than a
common musical dish.

NOVEL INCIDENT A ride was involuntarily
taken on the express train of the Troy and Bos-

which are novel and interesting
As the train was coursng towards Troy at its
highest speed, on passing a curve it suddenly
dashed into flock of pigeons upon the track
All of them save one-a pure and beautiful
white-raised from the ground and escaped
The white one was not as fortunate, for rising
and flying low in a line from the locomotive. it
was overtaken and caught on the centre of the
cowcatcher, where, unable to raise its wings
against the rushing air, mute and bewildered,
its neck and head stretched forward, it stood
transtixed and motionless, as though converted
into stone. On went the train in its wild speed,
and on stood the pigeon in it wingless fight, and
fourteen miles were thus Travelled by the twain
1t was only when the Union depot at Troy was
reached and entered, that the pigeon, recover
ing from its bewildering enchantment, slightly
ruffled its feathers, then tried its wings, and
finally trusting them once more, scared aloft,
lighting on a cross piece of the dome Here it
was soon the observed Of all observers, the story
of its marvellous ride having many hearers
After an hour or so it sailed forth in the direc-
ton of its home, and doubtless will often tell in

Tbs MAYORS Proclamation.


The Mayors Proclamation.
After the experience Of last Saturday night,
we feel confident assurance in expressing the
opinion that every thing in the shape Of an or
eauized riot in our city is, for the present, at
An end. No further apprehensions, we think,
need be entertained BY those who love peace
and order, that we shall Immediately again be
afflicted with disturbances Of a serious charac-
ter; but SO long as we have amidst us the ele-
ments Of disorder, SO long as the excited pas.
sions of men prejudice, hatred and revenge
are liable to be fomented into frenzy and to
burst out in scenes Of violence and bloodshed. SO
long it is the imperative duty Of our authorities
to keep strict watch and Be more perfectly
prepared to meet and overpower the fury and
injustice of mob law. Had they been so pre-
pared in the commencement of the late disgrace
full riots, it is not probable that it would have
been found necessary to make a demand upon
The military force of the city, nor even to have
organized d special citizen police. The former
measure we are satisfied never was necessary
and the latter was only made 50 by the wretched
ineffciency Of the regular police force.
AS regards the proclamation Of his Honor the
Mayor on Saturday last, We were much pleased
to see it, and to witness the promptness with
which the call was responded to a large
number of the most respectable citizens came
forward at once and enrolled themselves, and
during Saturday night the localities where con-
fusion, murder, and almost civil war had so
sicI oh have hppJ1 nv.
pected, quiet and peaceful as any other por-
lions Of the city The respectability Of the
persons composing this voluntary police force,
together with their quiet but firm and deter
mined bearing, unquestionably brought about
this result, and could indeed have produced no
other.
AT any stage Of the difficulties this measure
was the most judicious that could have been
adopted, and perhaps the only one that would
Ut once attain the objects desired. The procla-
nation called upon all good citizens to come for
ward and defend their dearest interests, among
which the good name Of their city was not, per-
haps, the least item; it recommended keepers Of
bar-rooms to close their establishments at even
an earlier hour than our wise and temperate
City Council had laid down the law for; and,
striking home at the evil, laying the ak at the
very root Of the tree, it indicated to parents and
guardians the propriety the absolute necessity,
Of restraining the dangerous propensities Of
Young America, and of generally keeping that
we'll known and vicious gentleman of tender
years and indiscreet precocity within doors
after shutdown. 44
