A shrswd Doctor.


The Philadelphia Sunday Mercury tells
a good story, to the effect that white man
named Jennings undertook few nights
since to give colored physician from 81
Domingo, named D.. Charles LIE Brun, res i
ding in that city, severe drubbing Tor mai
practice. II seems that Jennings had been
troubled with dyspepsia, and had apple to
DR.. LIE Brun for cure; but AFTER taking The
DOCTORS physic for month, he found him.
self mach worse, told the doctor so, and
then quarrel, and the assault just spoken
Of followed.
Monsieur lie Mayor" sold DR.. L., Il no
pretend to be Re wizard, but cure any
body dat do vot zay. tell dis man he
must take two Of my pills Tomorrow, tour
&c next day, and den go ON double re dose
for forty day; nd il he no cure den, tell
him he come to me will give him back
his money tout suite. Sare dat is de bar
gaae vat make vid him. and he no do dat
50 it no vunder he got worse"
Jennings replied to this: Il took his pulls
sir, according to directions, for five days,
doubling every day, as he told me, and found
on the fifth day that the dose amounted 70
thirty.two pills; and then began to figure
up what it would come to in forty days, and
found that should have to take at least hal
a 'ck."
"No matter if it was hushel,' said DR..
lie Brun, .ze pill is yegitabeel, jus same as
Won turnip, and he might live on zem all re
time and zey no hurt. But If he no give re
pill fair trial, yot tor gives him back his
money"
Ii was plain enough that Jennings did not
go according to contract and so he had }
pre,encefor asking DR.. Le Brun to refund.
The doctor promised to say nothing about
the assault and battery il Jennings would
perscvcre in the purchase of the medicine;
bot Jennings preferred the operation oil law
to that Of hysic, and was accordingly bound
over to answer for the outrage he had COM
mitted.
The dyspeptc individual, however, in say
ing that "when he began to figure up what
it would come to in forty days" had he fol-
lowed the sable doctors prescription, and
sounA that he would have had TO take at
leas, half peck, showed as great ignorance
Of qantiiy as Of quality.
Our .sdevil," while waiting for copy has
figured il up, and says that the suffering
Jennings would had only 1000, 40I ,42i,160
pills to take for his last dose, and but l,l4l..

reduce this ''day measure at his earliest

Nv order, of the Bishop of Maux, the lea:

coffin recently discovered, containing the
mortal remains of Bosset, inferred lIo years
since, was opened OF the l4th inst. The
head was found covered with four folds Of
linen, which was soon cut away with pair
Of scissors, and the features were then seen.
They were much less changed than might
have been expected, considering that the
body had been buried one century and a
half. The head was leaning little to the
right, like that of a person asleep, and the
lief, part of the face was exceedingly well
preserved and at once reminded the look
ers-on of Rigaud's portrait OF the deceased
The mouth was open, the eyes shut, the
nose somewhat fallen in, the hair white, and
the moustachios visible. The skull ad
been sawed across, so as 10 allow the brain
to be taken away, in order to let an aromst-
ic substance be placed in its stead. An
artist, who was present, took sketch oft the
face as it appeared when the coffin was op-
ened.

4 Btssk-a.sx Railrsad Argument.

Ouririend aud eo,cmporary Of the Mus.
catine Journal, who Visited our city last
week. on bic return homeward. was furnish.
"a with what he terms 4 break-neck argu-
meat in favor Of the early somp.etion OF the
Railrosd connecting our two cities lie
thu. graphically describes his aiscn-
ture:--
Tuesday afternoon, as we jolte,l along in
the stage towards Davenport and noticed
the crowd Of lsborers shoveling and carting,
in the busy work Of cutting through hills
aud raising . long line Of embankment, we
felt quito grateful for the prospect OF arall-
road in operation next summer. The open
ing Of such road would be aglorious cele-
bration Of the ever-gIorious Fourth, and
such a celebration may be confidently ex-
pee,ed. As We passed on through fertile
region Of country already thickly dotted oy-
er with houses surrounded by good prairie
farms. We associated with that improvement
noble future for this county.
But il was on our return that we met
with the most complete railroad argument;
We were in one OF two full coaches that
left Davenport about Z O'Clock OF night,
cloudy, fo4gy, and as dark as Egypt. The
horses steamed 40 that the drivers could mo-,
SEQ and the ground was extremely slippery
The drivers were very careful. drove in a
walk most OF the time. and stopping FREE
quently, sent light ahead 10 examine the
road We met wagon load Of pork in
di CHI, which our coaches narrowly escaped
and the shouting in the dark backwards aud
forwards. was not only animatlng. but Tore
bodng Of harm to ourselves. We were
three hours in going six miles. At last
our coach, the hindmost. slipped on sid
ling place, and just then striking q bridge,
was wbirled from it. turning summerset,
and striking on it's top on the ground, about
three feet below, and the top Of the couch
describing a circular movement of ten or
fifteen feet. One got a bloady cash in his
head another his collar bone broken and
torn loose from his shoulder blade, and
Judge Grant was severely injured in the
shoulder, some of the muscles being probably
ierked from their sockets. Another was
got out rayng ike maniac, ignorant OF
whence he came from or whittier he was
going, or the name Of his friend. A Ger
man named Hetzell was kind enough to
take care of the wounded. Dr.. Fountain,
skllful physician, of Davenport, arrived
about half-past four o'clock, in the
morning and attended to the wants Of ibss
invslids.
