There was considerable excitement in
our town on Wednesday last, in conse-
quence Of mad dog passing through, and
biting upwards Of twenty dogs before he
was shot, The dog, we understand, be-
longed to Joseph Hoover, near Snydertown,
about SIX miles from this place, and, it is
said, had been bitten nearly year since,
by mad dog, which also passed through
here. On Sunday last child of MIR. Solo,
mon Evert, a neigbbor of MIR. Hoover, was
bitten by the dog. The animal then left
home, and bit number of dogs in the
country, and also horse of Mr.. George
Oberdorf. He came into town on Tuesday
afternoon, and while in his paroxisms snap
ped at everything in his way. He had
attacked number OF dogs and been kicked
out OF several dwellings, before any suspi-
cion was excited; which was not fully
confirmed until Mr.. Evert came 10 town
for medicine, for his child, boy about
four years old, who stated the crcumstan-
ces. The dog escaped pursuit on Tuesday,
and was chased again on Wednesday morn
ing, when he took refuge, nearly exhausted.
in shed at the town mill, where Mr.,
Haas shot him. Some twenty or thirty Of
our dogs were killed on Wednesday, by the
owners, some OF them favorites, and highly
valued. In Centre county and in Berks,
and also IN the Mahanoys in this county,
there have been rabid dogs for some time
past. Yet there are some who express
doubts in regard TO the dog being rabid.
This was also the case last March, yet,
it is said, two dogs in this place became
rabid some five or six months afterwards,
and had to be killed.
Too much caution cannot be used, and
those who have dogs, in regard to which
there are any grounds whatever, Of having
been in contact with the rabid animal,
should either kill them or secure them.--
Human life is too valuable 10 be ,rfled
with.

o. TIE Snow STORM OF Monday last
was much greater south and east than
north and west OF US. At Baltimore the
snow was two fee, deep. In Philadelphia
the roads were blocked up and the streets
were impossible for vehicles. The market
houses were empty Of everything but snow
drifts. Thousands of men were at work
removing it. The trains 10 New York and
Baltimore did not arrive until next day.
Wereceived no mails from Philadelphia,
either by way of Harrisburg or Pottsvile.
The cars came in auout half past ten at night,
but there was no stage TO take the passen-
gers or mails TO Northumberland. The
passengers were forwarded by the Railroad
company 10 Northumberland, and the mails
were left unit! next morning. The obsa-
Gle was snow SIX inches deep. This, it
is true, would not have been, in ordinary
winters, a serious impediment. But this
was the first snow OF the year, and took
the country BY surprise, stage proprietors
not excepted, hence it required time for
consideration, to devise ways and means
to carry the mails, at the dead hour Of
eleven, two miles, through six inches ol
snow. Should this excuse be coldly re-
ceived at the department, it will be on
accoun, OF the shallowness Of the snow, mol
the excuse, of course.

10 The editor of the Tribune has taken
to studying the classics, for the purpose, we
suppose, of improving his style. A literary
gentleman having told him that Addison's
writings were regarded as first among the
English classics, the editor Immediately COM
menced gathering up old copies of little Ad-
olson Sanders Evansville Journal, which, it
is evident, he has been carefully studying
ever since, under the impression that ne was
the Addison referred to!-(N. A. Ledger.
We perceive Mr. Gregg has given his
readers an opportunity Of studying this Add
sons style little, by quoting from him.
This appears to trouble the editor Of the
Ledger in a remarkable manner. We pre-
sumo he is justified in being worried. The
perusal Of a decent mans contempt for q
poor whipped in Locofoco editor like himself
is introducing his iellow-ci:izens to a style Of
which they will probably prove apt imitators
II so, we wish Johnny safe deiiverance from
their boot-toes.

Petit Again.

John Petit, that most arrant and most ar
rogant Of oil political knavcs. after his fail
ure at Lafayette to secure anything else than
the profound contempt of his party at mass
meeting, concluded he would try at India
napolis to make up for lost honors. So he
advertised a speech there, and as at Lafa-
yette, he had a crowded house. He was saw
ed the modification of hearing resolutions
endorsing him voted down, for the simple
reason that he was too smart, or his friends
were, to permit any to be offered In his
speech he declared that"no intelligent, honest
man, opposed the repeal of the Missouri COM
promise!" This remark was greeted by the
Kisses of hundreds present. The Journal
says the dissatisfaction shown by those pre-
sent at his speech, was not confined to the
Wings, but many Of the very best Demo
Gratis in the State participated in it. one OF
whom had prepared resolution to submit as
a substitute to any resolution which might
have been introduced endorsing the repeal oil
the Missouri Compromise.
Where next will Petit make a speechl-
Can't he come down here, and in the same
hall where he denounced Gen. Scott as q
murderer, declare no intelligent. honest man

promise, We should like to see him here

ssGood Orthodox Democratic Dec
trlne0sO

tfineS.n
The Enquirer ofyesterday contained some
of the resolutions offered at the recent meet
ing held in Lafayette, to give John Petit d
chance to speak in favor of the Nebraska
measure, and publishes them to show that
"good orthodox Democratic doctrines can
still be taught in Tippecanoe county," &c
Now we have few words to say about this
meeting, and as to how far these resolutions
illustrate that "good orthodox Democratic
doctrines can still be taught in Tippecanoe."
From all accounts Petit made one of his Gus
tomary BLACKBOARD speeches. speech that
would disgrace any other manthan Petit,
who is beneath being further disgraced by
any effort of his own. During his long wind
ed speech, he was frequently interrupted by
groans and Kisses. At its conclusion, a
slight applause from some Of his friends.
brought down the house in prolonged Sc.
ries of Kisses, groans, whistlings and laugh
ter, exhibiting the most perfect contempt Of
che great mass of the audience for the man'
POsiiOu ouu oPCSSh'
Mr.. Bracket read the resolutions which had
been prepared in advance for the occasion.
Several of them were received pretty much
as Pettil's speech. The resolutions were put
and the yeas called. But Mr.. B. forgot to
call the noes! Another person did it for him,
when these resolutions, which the Enquirer
is pleased to say "show that good orthodox
Democratic doctrines can still be taught in
Tippecanoe," were voted down in thunder
tones and prolonged apPlause!! Thus it can
very reasonably be supposed that the "good
orthodox Democratic doctrines" of the Me-
braska measure, &C., cannot be taught in Tip
pecanoe!
At the close Of this "Nebraska demonstra.
tion," three cheers were proposed for Dan
Mace, the Democratic Representative from
that district who opposed the Nebraska swim.
die. They were given, the Journal says, in
such deafening tones, that the exasperated
hootings OF the Nebraska men sounded like
the squealng of forlorn pigs in terrific
thunder storm. 1t will be recollected a pre-
vious meeting held at Lafayette, endorsed
with great unanimity Mr.. Mace's course, and
passed strong anti-Nebraska resolutions
This meeting was called to secure a counter
voice, to make capital for John Petit and
the Nebraska swindle. The result we have
given above. The resolutions offered back
ing Petit and his course and the Nebraska
measure, were uoted dolCn. This shows thai
the Democrats of old Tippecanoe do not re-
cognize such interpretations as the Nebras
ka measure as good orthodox Democratic doc
trine. We hope the Enquirer will publish
the remainder of the resolutions, just t.
show what the Democracy of Tippecano'
won't be taught.

0t The New Albany Ledger calls the
Evansville Journal a "wishy-washy" con-
Germ. Probably this is because We have
,oashed away some Of the sincere wishes Of the
editor of that Paper-for instance, the wish
to make people believe, after his strong OPP
position to the Nebraska measure couple
months back. that now in supporting il under
the dctation of II Democratic Convention, he
is any thing else than poor miserable whip
pedin devil, without a thought he dare call
his own, and without principle but those
crsmmed in him by the fists of his party mas
tiers.

KANSAS AND SLAvERY.-The Washington
of the Philadelphia North

KANSAS AND SLAvERY.-The Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia North
American and u. S. Gazette, says:
The Administration has taken care to pro-
hibt, virtually, by practical measures, the in
fux OF emigrants from the free States. They
stand ready now to pour in, but the Commits.
sioncr Of Indian Affairs has postponed the
opening of the country for settlement for six
months. The inhabitants of Missouri can
not be restrained from crossing the border
and making their locations; but organized
bands Of emigrants from the North, with their
families and stock-and they cannot move
in any other way thnn in large bodies-can
and will be prevented, under instructions
lately issued from Washington, from going
into the territory. Whether these restric-
tons apply to Nebraska l have not been in
formed. The calculation here is that Kan
sas will BY these measures be made slave
territory before any considerable amount Of
Northern emigration can reach it.
What do our friends who insist that slave
~ can never 60 into these Territories, think
OF that?

No. 2. Mary Missing filed her affidavit for

Mary said she had just cause to fear, and
really did fear, that Fred would shoot her, or
do her some great bodily harm. Keeper de-
clared that he entertained no such villainous
intentions against said Mary; but so over
whelming was the testimony, showing con.
clusively that Frederick was character too
dangerous to be suffered to run at large, un-
