DRowNINa DoGs.-The dog pond in New
York is an old hulk lying on the river in
one end of which is a pen into which the
impounded dogs not reclaimed by their own
ers are put, when they are about to be de.
stroycd. The Express describes the rest:
The last dog--a huge black female, in an
Interesting condition-had been pnt in, and
the trap was fastened down. And now the
yelling was frightful. A noxious exhala'ion
arose from the packed cistern, and an intense
heat was emitted. Long before the water
could be applied, the dogs at the bottom
must have been suf'ocated for upwards Of
two hundred dogs of all sizes were packed
in Il cisteln about seven feet deep. 1t was
perfect canine hole of Calcutta, and if the
mind can conceive of Mayor Tiemapn as
Sarajah, Dowlah, Marshal Stephens, who
superintendent the whole affair, as the sentry,
and the dogs as British soldiers, (all Christ
ians are dogs in Mahommedan eyes, the
parallel will be complete.
All being prepared, the hose was run
from the plug on the street to the eistern,
and the water let in. To those on the top,
the cooling bath must have been temporary
relief, and they seemed rather to enjoy it;
but it was not to last. The water rose
higher, the yelps became fainter and fainter,
and in short time all was hushed aud still.
Carts were now brought on the pier, and
the dead bodies taken from the cistern, and
placed therein for conveyance to the place
where such carrion is usually deposited, after
which another batch of dogs underwent a
similar operation ill all had given up the
ghost that is supposing the mefampsychosis
to be true, and that dogs had ghosts to give
up.

DEATH PROM DRRKGNe.-On Sunday
last the dead body of Bailey Yates was
found in field belonging to James NJ.
Stephenson, Esq, a. mile or SO from this
place. By his side were several yes
sells, some full of whisky, and some nearly
empty. A CorOner's jury WAS summoned
TO WOW the body, and returned verdict
of "died from drunkenness and exposure"
In q bucket, with some whisky in the bot
tom, which was near the deceased, were
found some AMOUR chips, from which and
other signs, it is shown to be more than
probable that the whisky was. stolen from
Mr. 7. G. Smith, as recorded by us last
week. Bailey has long been IN incorrigi-
BILE drunkard. He has no family.
We hear of the forming a Volunteer
Company at or near Lubbock, in this coun-
ty, and Of another above this place. There
is no doubt that the Legislature will take
early action 10 foster the formation of Vol
unteer companies by favorable legislation.
We therefore suggest that proper consul
tation be had by our citizens and public
meeting called at an carly day to start the
ball in motion.

is on foot in this place to endenvor to OBJ
tain grant from the Legislature for u

here for the prosecution of the legitimate

ABoUr the richest thing, says the Com.

letter from the New York correspondent
of the Mobile Regfster, which gives the
extraordinary information that "there is
now treaty to unite the Herald and IEi-

Bennett and Greeley both out OF the two
establishments. II the Herald and Tribune
are united, it is understood that Bennett
and Greeley shall neither one continue to
act as editors. They may own certain
amount of stock and draw their dividends
regularly" The Bulletin thinks it is a
pity that genius of such trandsccndont
powers of information, should not turn his
attention to the study of mechanics; if he
should do so, there is no knowing what
astonishing improvements would be made
in the steam engine, the coffin gin and the

Extract from Biographical Sketch in the Phil

lExtract ffum biographical Sketch In the Phila
Press:
ANoxG his numerous adventures, was
one which he, taciturn as he was toward
the close of his life, it is said he was wont
to relate with an enjoying chuckle. He
said one evening, whilst scouting on the
Northsrn bank of the Ohio, somewhere
some level bottom lands, denselv timbercd,
and his ear caught sonnd He slowly
and cautiously approached It. When he
came close to it, he discovered an Indian
mounted upon the shoulders of another,
using his tomahawk in pceling off the
bark of a tree, in order to, mike bark
canoe. The idea occurred to him that it
would be exceedingly ludicrous to see the
upper Indian get tremendous tumble
He accordingly shot the lower Indian
through the heart. The upper one fell at
least ten feet off, upon his head, and gath
cred himself up with an expression of ut
ter establishment. His surprise caused
his features to assume so groteSque an
appearance, that even Brady was COM
PEELED to laughter aloud. The Indian
hearing the laugh, instantly threw himself
behind cover, and quickly lodging from
tree to- tree, escaped. He had no time TO
get his gun or tomNhnwk. Brady got
both guns, both tomahawks, and plenty of
ammunition, an article he CHANGED to need
very much at that particular time.
DE Hnss. in his History ofWestern yir-
