CURE FOR THE BITE OF A MAD DoG.-A wri-
ter in the National Intelgencer, says that spirits
of hartshorn is a certain remedy for the bite of a
mad dog. The wound, he adds, should be con-
stantly bathcd with it, and three or four doses,
diluted taken inwardly during the day. The
hartshorn deeomposes chemically the virus nsinu-
ated into the wound, and Immediately alters and
destroys its Righteousness. The writer, who re-
sided in Brazil for time first tried it for the
bite of scorpion, and found thai it removed pain
and inflammation almost instantly. Subsequently,
he tried it for the bite of the rattesnake, with
similar success. AT the suggestion of the writer,
an old friend and physician tried it in the cases of
hydrophobia, and slways with success.

We learn from the Selma Reporter that one of
the most fendish acts ever committed, was perpe-
trated on the person of girl, in the vicinity OF
Farmersville Lowndes county, on Tuesday last,
by negro.
1t appears that poor beggar woman wend
ing her way through that section accompanied by
girl about II or twelve years of age, and was
met by the negro, who threatened to take her life
by knocking her in the head with fence rail, if
she did not leave there Immediately. She fed,
and made her way with all possible haste to
house near By, where she made known what was
going On. I he news circulated, and
Immediately few of the neg hbors assembled and
repaired to the place where the woman left the
gro abusing and threatening the life of the girl.
Here they were not to be found but after the lapse
of a few minutes, the negro was emerging
from the wood near by, and iii some way managed
to make his escape. The girl was shortly after
wards found not far from the roadside, ruined
and almost dead, the monster william having sue
cecdcd in accomplishing his hcllish design. The
people commenced a most diligcnt search, and
next morning found, arrested, and carried him to
Pleasant Hill, i'll this county, for trial before JUS
tice of the Peace, but before they had proceeded
very far in legally investigating the affair, large
number Of persons arrived from the neighborhood
of Farmersville, took the negro in charge, carried
him back to that place, tied him to stake, built
log heap around him, and were in the act of apply

crowd he was released from the stake, taken to Il
tree, and hung up without further ceremony.

The gallant Captain was not calous to such divine

Wednesday evening while the parents of the fair
