The WILD Doe.-The wild dog is
about eighteen inches high, and of
brick-red or bright fox,color, with a
thick, bushy tail tipped with black;
the ears are also black, pointed and
upright. They are most determined
enc mics Of the tiger, hunting when
ever they meet with him. | have
been assured by Bheels, that they
have sometimes seen tiger attempt
to save himself by climbing trees
On the approach OF the men the wild
dogs disappeared, when the tiger
jumped down and gladly made his
escape. This | firmly believe to be
fact; for the story arose out OF cas-
ual remark one Bheel made to another
in my hearing, as we were passing a
certain large tree with a straight
stump about five yards high before the
branches began, up which the tiger
had jumped in another part Of the
country over which | was hunting
Perhaps these dogs hunt the tiger for
pOaching on their deer, or it may be
only the old antipithy between cat and
dog on large scale Tger.ShOOting

THE Corn RoTTING.-For several
days past we have inquired ofour
neighboring farmers about the corn
outstanding; and they all tell us that
it is rotting very fast. The backward
season for ripening, and the early
froSts, followed by the long aud heavy
rains, have done serious injury TO the
corn in the Scioto Valley, as well as
elsewhere in this region Ports Tib.

ReSpectability.

There is no certain term in common Use so
much abused, misuScd and misunderstood as
the term respectable We hear of respect.
able society respectable company; a res
pectabc citizen; q respectable ncighborhoOd; !;
respectable newspapers, and a thousand other
respectable things, without receiving the
slightest idea Of what is meant by the term
respectable. The fact is. it is term without
any limit to its definition. 1t means one
thing in one circle and very different thing
in another circle. In a low tippling cellar in
Orange street where the inmates arc stcel,cd
in vice and bad rum, greater insult cannot
be given than for one party to say, sncCringly
to another, "YOu are not respectable per-
son. And to say, "You arc no gentleman" {"
involves pair of black eyes, and bloody
nose.
The laboring man who supports his family,
and is attentive to all the duties which dovolvo
upon him, striving to the utmost of his hum
bic means to maintain an honorable position
in society by educating his children, and clio.
thing them neatly, is called Q respectable
man. They who arc pccuniarily above him
in the social scale patronizingly call him res
pcctablc-that is, he is respectable SO long as
he keeps within his humble sphere, aud is
contented to live and strive through life as an
humble member of society. For our own
part We regard such man as one Of the most
honorable men in the community. But there
are those who, honest and honorable as he Is,
will not associate with him, and consider
themselves above him, not because they are
better educated or moro refined, but simply
because they are able to buy mahogany stuff.
cd chairs and Brussels carpet
The honest poor man, struggling with pow
crty, and bearing up bravcly against the vi
cisSitudes Of life who would lose right eve
or right arm sooner than do dishonorable
action, who makes truth his guiding star, and
virtue and personal honor his constant COM
panionS is not a "rcspcctAblc "man because
his means will not allow him to throw aside
scedy coat or to mix in wcll-dresSed society.
On the other hand, the man who can wear
coat OF the latest fashion, can decorate his
person with jewels, and who always has a
well-filled purse (no matter how he obtained
it, whether by fraud, dishonor or tricks, of
the most odious kind) is rcSpcctability, he.
cause he has all outward signs of respectable
ity, and is received with the warmest well
come into respectable society. lie may be
rccking with the consequence Of unrestricted
Righteousness, and his habits in this respect
may he well known. yet respectable doors Nre
opened to him. fond mothers introduce their
daughters to him, and young ladies them
selves seek his company, and viii! excuse or
palliatc his offences by saying, "he was
young man of spirit, and when he is married
and settled down in life will outgrow all these
little peccadillocs.

Mr.. BrOderick and the Mud silla

The Hon. d. @. Broderick pretended to feel
great indignation at the idea Of Senator Ham
mond charACterizing the labOring classes Of
the North as the "mud sills Of society" He
did not know, or pretended not to know, that
Mr.. Hammond, instead Of soaking TO cnlt any
slur upon the lab0ring men Of the North, Wss
paying them a very high compliment He
did not know, or pretended not TO know, that
in the Southern country, whore Mr.. Hammond
lived, that 1t was impossible to build house,
without first laying down "mud sill, as a
foundation upon which to build, and when
Mr.. Hammond used that term, he paid to Ia
bOr the greatest compliment possible. Yet
we find the "bravC young Senator" evincing
the most intense feelings Of indignation, and
giving vent to those feelings in the strongest
Language his feeble imHgination' could invent
Yet We are told that this same champion Of
the laboring classes, when he was requested
to address his fellow citizens in this city, and
inform them as to the political questions Of
the day--a request which they certainly had
the right to make Of him, and one, too, which
it was certainly his duty to comply with-re-
piled, very Indignantly, that he would "nOt
speak to q mob, but that if any number Of
gentlemen would meet him in private room,
he would express his views to them.
Why Mr.. Brodcrick should characterize tho
people who generally attend tho public meet
ings in our city Hs ''lnob," we do not know,
for We will venture the assertion that there is
not man among them, from the hod carrier
up, who does not know better how to treat
him than his reply to their request would in.
dcatc he does how to treat them. Just think
Of it. The peoples own servant character
ising them as a mob! and at tho same tim0
claiming to be their peculiar friend and cham
pion. We have no doubt these remarks will
strike great many with surprise, but We can
produce the gentleman who gave us the infor-
nation and was present when the cOnvevsA-
ton occurred, and his word will not be con-
tradicted by any onc-Shcrument Mercury.

Revolutionary Men.

A correspondent of the Petersburg Express,
writing from "Lcctown, Jefferson county,
Virginia, sends that paper an interesting let
ter about revolutionary men and reminiscent
ces, from which we take the following extract: :
In the vicinity of the spot from which ad.
dress you these lines, are the dilapidatcd and
antique residences of three distinguished Ma
jor Generals of tho American Revolution
Within a radius Of one mile and half lived
long and weary years, Charles Lee, the SIMS
ter hero Of Monmouth; Horatio Gates the
loser Of the battle of Camden and the South
ern campaign; and Adam Stephen, the early
friend Of Washington. In this little village
on whose golden forest | am gazing-undcr
the shadows of the great woods hcrc--remotc
from camps and the flashing world, these
three warriors rustcd out tho remainder of
their lives in glorious reposc; the swords in
moth.caten scabbards, no more to be drawn.
Here, if mistake not, two of them died, and
soon even these lingering memorials of them
will crumblc and disappear, as their figures
arc fading from the general mind.
Lees house is hundred PAGES from the
little assemblage ofhouscs called by his name,
and is an Oblong building of stone. with chin
ncys at each end and midway--low with n
rude porch, depending, as it were, above the
rough door, and with few out-houses Gates
lived somewhat further from the town, in a
plain undecoratcd building, and Stephen occu-
pied mansion, probably built, by the earliest
pioneers Of the valley, in which everything is
small and confined but the Fireplace But
that is neither small or confined; it is grand,
enormous. Around it how many good COM
paniOns must have gathered in the Olden day,
and what sounds of rcvclry shook the ratters
overhead You may have read of Adam Ste
phcn in Sparks edition Of the writings of
Washington, and there you will find that
among the hardy gentlemen who stood shoul-
der to shoulder with tho young chief at Win
chester, when the Indians ravaged tho valley
hundred years ago, was Lieutenant Stephen.
a large landed proprietor hcrcaboutS. he
doubtless resented the trcspasS of the Indians
upon his grounds, stretching toward the foot
of the great North mOuntain--at least he did
good service. lie was ailerward am effective
officer Of tho revolutionary struggle, but lcfl
the army about the period OF the battle Oi
Princeton, disgustcd at something or other
and so came hithcr, and lived and died.
Of Gates and Leo moro is known. The
story Of the wolul quarrel of the latter with
Washington at Monmouth, you may read in
full as recently published in the third volume
