Spring is Coming.


Spring is coming. Spring is coming!
Don't you hear her in the rills,
Tripping gaily DER the valley.
Flying o'er the sunny hills?
Nature leaps to meet her coming.
With her teeming, babbling throng:
Gladstone Spring! with JOY We greet thee.
With a cheerful voice OF song.
Spring is coming. Spring is cominsl
She is in the Southern breeze;
Merrily the birds are singing
Mathis in the forest trees;
Modest violets are springing
From the giadsome earth the while.
And the butter-cups and daisies
Greet her, with lovers smile.
Spring is coming, Spring is coming!
Tiny leaflets venture out;
Torrents, that for months have slumbered,
Hasten seaward. with \ shout:
Wanton breezes kise the flowers,
Butterflies are on the wing,
Birds have set the day 10 marry,
And invited guests to sing.
Spring is coming. Spring is coming!
Joyous beats the pulse of life;
Weary ones almost desponding.
Start anew to meet the strife;
Natures bosom throbs with pleasure.
Spring has set the captives free;
Earth, with all her teeming millions.
Chants the song of jubileel

The Dog vs.. Georgia Banks.

The New York Picayune is re.
sponslble for the following dog story.
and is willing to. take an oath fox
/ the truthfnlness of the same. It is
rather damper on some of our
neighbor's Banks, especially those Of
the wild Cat" sttipei
"a broker had a water spaniel, q
very intelligent animal, kept as much
for companionship as for service in
shooting. Being bache lor, the dog
was fed at butchery instead of get
ting bones and stray tidbits from
family table. His habit was to 90
regularly every day to the before
mentioned butcher s, and at the end
of the week he had been taught TO
carry dollar bill to his feeder. This
he seemed to take great pleasure in
always walking away with his bill
with great pomposity, as if he thor
oughly appreciated the ability to
pay his board, and in general behav-
ing like dog of respectability.
One Saturday. however, bis master
had through press of business, for
gotten to put the dollar note into
his mouth at the accustomed period
of the afternoon. Fidelo became i'm,
patient. His master remarked it,
and hastily putting bis hand into his
pocket, drew out a dollar bill and
threw it down to him, being too busy
to adjust the note In the dogs mouth.
The broker went on with his lsbors,
it being then nearly three O'clock
But happening to look around him a.
bout ten minutes later, he perceived
the dog standing before the note.
looking up into his eyes in hall ap-,
peaiing and half amused sort of way,
as if TO say, 'now don't try that on
poor dog" and giving at intervals
four sharp barks in rapid succession.
This excited great surprise in the bro
ker. What could be the matter9--
Was it possible perhaps that the dog
smelled contagion in the bill--yellow
and typhuS f:ver, and smallpox, the
broker had heard, were sometimes
communicated in that way. He
looked down at cautiously pick
ed it up, and saw that it was good
bill. but upon Georgia Bank, and
quoted at four per cent discount in
New York. The dogs objection and
his four barkS were at once clear TO
him. He bad no current money, but
he wrapped four cents in the bill and
placed them in Fid, los mouth. The
animal was oveJoyed, and trottcd Off
with great satisfaction. We submit
that this case has hardly any -paral.
lei in natural history, and that it ar
CUES a higher degree of intelligence
IN the brute creation than we have
been in the habit Of admitting.

American states:
1t may be remembered that the

anus few days back; the garrotiug,
it subsequently appeared, had noth-
ing to do with his death, the physi-
clans who made the post mortem exam
ination having decided that he died
of innammatpry matism. Well,
DR.. Champney assisted on the post
mortem, aud accidentally cut the Sec
one finger of his left hand. He paid
no particular attention to it until
next day, when it began to swell
and extending up his arm reached
his heart and terminated in pyghienic
fever, or fever arising from the alb
sorption Of poison. He had thea
tention of skillful physicians, bat he
poison inoculated from the dead body
had taken such firm hold that all rem
edies we're in vain. He died after
suffering for three days. 1t is doubt
ful whether an inquest will be held, as
the cause Of the disease is so evident
as not actually TO require it.

The Jealousy Of a Dog.

Some time since, gentleman liv.
ing on the Hudson had fine New
founGhnd dog, who was great FAVOR
rite with the family. While this dog
was confined in the yard, pet lamb
was given to one Of the children,
which the former soon discovered TO
be sharing great portion OF those
caresses which he had been III the
habit of receiving This eircum-
stance produced so great an effect on
the poor animal that he fretted, and
became extremely unwell and refused
to eat. Thinking that exercise might
be Of use TO him, he was let loose
No sooner Was this done, than the dog
watched his opportunity, and seized
the lamb in bis mouth. He was seen
conveying it down lane, about a
quarter Of a mile from bis masters
house, at the bottom of which the
Hudson river flowed. On arriving
at it, he held the lamb under water
till it was drowned, aud thus effectu-'
ally got rid of his rival On exam
lining the lamb, it did not appear to
have been bitten or otherwise injured,'
and it might also be supposed that
the dog had chosen the easiest death
in removing the object of his dislike.

The Chain Gang.

An account of the law establishing the chain
gang and the history Of that mode Of punishment,
was published in our local column few days ago.
We saw the chain gang 10 operation for the first
time on Tues Jay, clearing the Snow from the vege-
liable market. 1t struck US as a rather severe
method of discipline, and one which, even in the
case of felons should be employed with caution.
As punishment for the unfortunate victims Of
intemperance, it seems too degrading, severe and
unequal In its application. If a rich man becomes
intoxicated, and reels raving drunk into his bed
room, is he to be put in the chain gang! or sup
pose he takes q drunken slumber on the sidewalk
or in the watch house, could the chain gang law
by any possibility be enforced in his casel No
matter though he offended half dozen times,
could the law be enforced. Then, why subject
poor offenders to a kind of punishment which 1t
will not do to visit upon the richa We know that
the ordinance was passed with the very best in.
tentions but it seems to US that, upon more de~
liberate view Of the manner in which it works the
Council will be satisfied that it is expedent to
modify the law so that in the case of those who
arenot felons the ball and chain may be dispensed
with, and the labor be such as can be performed
within the walls of e work house.

Keller for the Poor.

Mr.. Daniel S. Delaplaine, who has been looking
up cases of restitution and suffering in our city
informs us that he has received contributions from
various citizens, and intends calling upon others
for aid in behalf of the suffering poor. Some of
the cases witnessed by Mr.. Delaplaiae, were heart
rending. There are families in the city of Rich.
mond on the point of starving and freezing to
death Col. Fontaine expects to be able to de-
liver some wood to-day or tomorrow at the Cen.
trail Depot which he will give for the relief of the
poor. Mr.. Daniel, President of the Petersburg
Railroad, has turned over some wood at that De-
pot, at cost. Mr.. Robinson of the Fredericksburg
Railroad, says there is large quantity of wood in
a woodward near the residence of Mr. ], NJ Bolts.
which can be had upon moderate terms Mr.
Delaplaine desires US to say that he will perso.
nally attend to applications for relief which may
be made to him at his Office, on Cary street, and
distribute wood, provisions &C., among those who
need them

Committee to A ssist the Poor.

We understand that the committee appointed
by the Council to distribute the appropriation
made by that body for the relief of the poor, are
exerting themselves actively in the discharge OF
their duties The committee consists of Mr. Saun
ders for Monroe Ward; Mr.. Gretter, for Madison
and Mr.. Stokes for Jefferson They have seen
and relieved cases of extreme suffering, but in
doing so, have found the appropriation by the
Council entirely insufficient. The means at their
disposal prove altogether inadequate for the ext.
gences ohahe occasion, and they have promptly
and kindly advanced aid from their own private
resources, relying on the iberality of the Council
to reimburse this expenditure, made necessary
by xn extent and severity of suffering never be
fore witnessed in this city. The appropriation,
$500. was a mere drop in the bucket. Little
Petersburg" appropriated $500 for the poor of
that city.
