Cost of Keeping Ferocious Dog,

those keeping ferocious dogs. The &C

Bischofshusband and wife by the wife
having been bitten on the 22nd July
last, by dog belonging to John Sho-
van. The evidence was clear that the
dog was ola foroc!ous character, that 70
had bitten the plaintiff in May last, had
attacked other people, and that the de-
PENDANT had been notified. On the 23d
Of July the woman when passing -Tas

the wound was about three inches in
length and about half On inch deep and
the flesh torn at the ends of the wound
in the shape Of cross. The plaintiff
had been confined to her bed since that

from six to eight weeks before the wound
would be entirely healed. The defend
ant had admitted that the dog would
bite people and had offered $50 to set

REMARKABLY DISCOVERY ~ lTALY.--
It i, stated in a letter quoted by tho
Parliament Of turn Of June :, tkat tho
tomb Of Odoaccr, King of the Herull,
has been discovered at Rayenna by some
wor<mcn, who, it appears, found inc
body cncased in suit of arlnor OF gold,
which they broke into pieces and secret
w "sold.5 The matter was, however,
soon diyueed, and further investigation
has led to the discovery Of some precious
articles which had escaped the repacity
Of the culprts, and of monumental IN
scription confirming the fact of its being
the tomb Of Odoacer. Odoaccr was king
of the barbarians who overthrow the
western Roman Empire in the year 476-
He was murdered by his conqueror,
Theodore the Great, \. b. 1913. and was
buried at Eaycma. where, after the lapse
of 1860 years, his remains have been
found.

THE MAILS.

Under all administrations there is more
or less complaint Of the manner in which
+be mails are carried, and therefore it is
nothing very unusual to see in all our
exchanges complaints of this character.
But we must say that we DO not remem-
Der to have seen so loud, SO continued
and 50 general a complaint. as has been
made and is continually making, under
this Administration. Whether the Ad-
ministration is to blame or not, we will
not venture to say; or whether there IS
ANYTHING 10 warrant unjust suspicious,
we viii not say. But this we do and
must say: we are annoyed beyond mea-
.r,ra with what seems to US to be crimi-
nal laundering.
/ We frequently get the New York City
and Boston papers from the West, by th'
BeIoit stage. This Is 50 common, tina
we get eastern matter by every western
mail. On the 18th, we got letter b.
the same stage, which was mailed a
Milwaukee on the 18th, And this IS I
uncommon occurrence.
We will not make any inviduous CON
plant. but something somewhere Is yer
wrong.
Of one thing we feel con7inced-ths
. If the postmasters were elected by IN
, people of the vicinity, there "oulo II
be so much trouble.

the intelligent reader will have no diff
,Jlty in determining:
Il would state, that in the month Of
October, 1852, | was in the office OF &c
neral Pierce in Concord, New Hampshire,
and had at that time a conversation with
him in relation t. appropriations by the
General Government for the improve
ment Of Western Rivers and Harbors.
Taking bound volume Of printed spec
chcs and letters in his hands, he turned
10 the letter Of Slas Wright to the Chi
c9g0 Convention, and observed that thc
sentiments Of that letter were his own;
that he was not in favor Of appropriations
by the General Government for the pur-
pose ofcreatiHg commerce in placeswhere
It did not exist, but wherever it did exist,
1t ought to be protected and encouraged,
aud that he had no more doubt Of the
constitutionality and expediency Of appro-
priations by the General Government for
the improyementof Western uarbors and
Rivers than he had of the constitutional
lty and expectancy Of appropriations by
the General Government for the construc-
ton of lighthouses and other similar OBJ
jccts on the Atlantic coast, and he added,
Il understand the letter OF Silas Wright
70 the Chicago Convention to be satis.ac-
tory to all Western men" These are his
statements as then made, and to show
that am not mistaken. copy this state
ment Of his, from a ate1g0raRdltal then
