WHAT ONE Cur WILL Do.-Twenty- lone cows,
that had been bitten by mad dog, have shown
symptoms of hydrophobia, near Patterson, New
Jersey. Of these. nineteen have died. Ten
other cattle were bitten, and the value of the
cattle destroyed by that one eur was fifteen
hundred dollars. Yet it is more than probable
the owner OF the dog was fighting mad when
his cur was killed.
But one of the most distressing cases of dog
infaiuaton, occurred in Winchester, Mass, the
account of which we find in the Boston Traveller
The dog was poodle, one of those sore-eyed
lap dogs, good for nothing but to breed tieas in
their long hair and snap at visitors. 1t belong
ed to Mr.. Clark.
The dog was known to have been bitten by
another dog. thought to be rabid. Soon the
poodle ran off, was snappish, and would not eat
A lad seized the poodle, and WIS bitten. The
dog was taken home, and Mrs. Clark, after all
this gave him bath when the poodle bit her
The same night child of Mr.. Stone, of six
years was bitten by the dog, while the little boy
was undressing. The morning after Mr. Stone
clipped the dogs hair and was bitten on the
finger, and Mr.. S. cuffed the dog, but left him
go, and in few hours little son of Mr.. Clark,
the owner of the dog, was bitten by the poodle.
The dog was tied up until night when he was
let loose and then tore his blanket to pieces and
bit man in the foot who came into the room
After all this the poodle was allowed to run and
he bit neighbors dog. Then the poodle was
shut up and soon died.
The second little boy was bitten July 9th,
and the wound healed. On Sunday, the 18th
of August, the child complained of choking
sensation, was put TO bed but would spring up,
and when water was offered would reject it, was
so wakeful as to remain all night with his eyes
wide open, and all remedies failing, died the
Tuesday following in terrible agony.

Desperate Fight Between Mas.
Ter and Slave.

The Petersburg, (Va.,) cypress gives
an account of the re-capture by Mr.. Dn-
val of a slave, who ran away five years
since at Richmond.
When he was about to take him, the
negro broke away aud fought with terrific
fury against his master and the police Off
GERS who accompanied him. He was final
ly subdued, handcuffed and placed safely on
board the train. At the Halfway station
he left the cars with his negro, and placing
him in the buggy, drove toward home.
They had not proceeded far before the ne
gro succeeded in getting one of the hand
cuffs off, assailed his master with despera-
ton, evidently with the intent to kill or Sc
riously injure him. But Mr.. Duval being
a resolu,e man, of firm caliber and quick
eye, met the assault, and for upward of an
hour the master and sieve scuffled and
fought in the buggy. They proceeded
thus for about half a mile, the fight grow
ing more fearful as they continued, when
they were met by the Rev. Charles Friend.
The circumstance was fortunate, as Duval,
would no doubt have been finally overpow-
cred. He called Mr.. Friend to assist him.
in short time the negroe was overpower-
ed and tied firmly with ropes and spare
reins, but the great strength of the refrac-
tory slave had rather increased than di-
minished, and he snapped the ropes like so
much twine, and again offered fearful re-
sistance. They were now without any 9TH
er immediate means of securing him, al
though they quickly succeeded in overpow-
ering him.
Fortunately Mrs. friend, who witnessed
the scene, with firmness and without fear,
having in her carriage fifteen yards of cot
ton cloth, which she had purchased, sug-
gested that would answer for rope, and
at once producing it, folded it, with her
husbands aid, to sufficient size for the
purpose and with it the negro was tied
beyond all possibility of escape. He was
then taken safely home. Both Mr.. Du-
vars and the negro's clothing, was almost
stripped from them, such had
been the vigor and "miscellaneous" nature
of the fight,

But they all ad loo much respect for relations

leading men-if our party is to be traded
off to either wing of the Democracy-then
we are for Lincoln, aOith tens Of thousand

The probabilities are that Mr.. Lincoln will

confidence, and yet it seems difficult to
properly exert Ourselves when the victory
can scarcely be wrested from us.

Japanese Homeward Bound.

The New York World has letter from on
board the Niagara at the Cape de Verd Islands
dated July l7th, which says:
The good health and good spirits of our dis
tinguished passengers and their suite are ma,
ter of satisfaction. They seem very content
with the ship. and the ample and well lighted
and well ventilated accommodations she affords
them. And well they may be, for few others
afioat could furnish their equal. They take
very kindly 10 life at sea. and eat, drink, smoke
and sleep with unwonted gom, for landsmen
afoat.
These animal indulgences are intermingled
with various intellectualoccupation Theprinces
tax their power, chiefly. l believe, in this re-
spect, with the preparation of their journal in
America for the inspection of the emperor gov
ernment at home. They all kept notes of the
incidents of their visit. and are now comparing
them, and compiling from the whole minute
and finished narrative.
Many of the second rank are much engaged
in II acquisition of English, and seek occasion
al instructions from any of the officers or ships
company near them. Even the common ser
wants are engaged much of the time, with books
of their own language, in writing, sketches, &c.
The renowned Tommy. with one or two of his
friends, is the regular daily pupil of the chap
lain. The familiarity with our language which
some of these Hitherto secluded pagans are thus
gaining; it is to-be hoped, may prove the chan
nel eventually, of higher good than they have
yet known.

Terrible storm.

MORE THAN SIXTY LIVES LoST-PRoCToR-
WILLIE, La, INUNDATED AND SWEPT AWAY,
A terrible storm ragged in and about
New Orleans on Saturday, Ilth inst,
which did much damage. The True Delta
Of Tuesday says:
Along the coast of Lake Pvntchartrain
the damage to water craft, wharves, &C.
has been great, but fortunately no repor,
of loss of life has reached lis.
Uphappily not SO in regard TO Proctor
vile, Oh Lake Borgue, which, from the di-
reetion of the wind, must have been expos
ed to the full fury Of the gale, for the
town ha: been swept away. Thirty two
Persons are known to have perished, and
IN all probability many more lives Lave
been lost.
The storm ragged Friday night and Sat
urday, and O'Clock that afternoon Tot a
house in Proctorvile was standing. Eve
ry tree, shurb, dwelling and store was swept
off, aud nothing but the government fort
withstood wind aud water.
1t is shocking 10 think of the loss of
life at this locality-husbands, and wives,
and children, carried into eternity by the
pitiless waters. Below we publish list
of the victims, as full as we could ascer-
tain it this forenoon: w. +. Wills ofNew
York; Mrs; w. F. Wills; one child Miss
Bertrand, cousin of the Wills servant, name
not known; Mr.. Fargo and six children,
Mr.. Limerick and three children; Mr..
Nicholson and three children, Mr.. Combray,
the lighthouse keeper; Mr.. Wells and fam
lily, five souls in all; the bar-keeber of Ra-
mons coffee house; colored boy, and sev-
eral fishermen. In all, between thirty and
forty lives lost.
The follows list of disasters on the
lakes and the river. Those comprise great
damage by inundation of the towns and
plantations, the running ashore of several
boats, the capsizing of schooner, with
the probable loss of all on board, the loss
of several lives at the Passes and elsewhere.
AT the Plaquemines, the storm was ter
ribly severe. The True Delta says:
The storm of Saturday last overfowsd
the entire parish from DR.. Wederstrand's
door to the Quarantine Station. The wa
ter rose to the debth of four feet on the
public road at Point-a-la Hache, and at
Urquhart's plantation it rose in some
places nine feet. Mr.. Urquhart's crop
was greatly damaged, and twenty five or
thirty persons lost their lives on his place.
Many of them had taken refuge in the tree
tops, and were either blown off by the force
of the wind or they were blown down
with the trees. AT Mrs. Wilkinson's plan
tation there were five or six negroes lost;
also, two carriages, the stables and kitchen,
were blown away. The large new store
house at the Quarantine Station was blown
down. There were many other sufferers
by the storm, but the above is all the names
and particulars that We can obtain present.
The wat.r continued 70 raise for twenty
four hours, when it subsided, leaving death
and destruction in its path. The orange
and rice crops, along the lower coast, are
entirely destroyed.
At Terre Beuf, Madame Gill and her
negro servant lost their lives.

Why ARE THE PRA1RIEs TREELEss?-The West
erners, when they speculate cn geology, answer
this question by affirming that the prairie fires
have burned them all of-that they have been
frightened out of existence by the fires of the
Indians. AT other times they vary their theo-
ry by affirming that the absence of trees is due
to the deficiency of rain; but neither does this
stand examination, for the maps of the distri-
button of rain show that the fall on the prai-
ries about equals that in other regions. Mr..
Whitny, in his paper on the Origin of Prairies.
read before the Scientific Congress, shows that
the real cause of the absence of arborescent
vegetation lies in certain mechanical conditions
of the soil, and in its extreme finencss.-Er-
change.
How will Mr.. Whitney account for the fact that
in Michigan, for instance, where twenty and
thirty years since there were boundless prairies
now there is a vigorous growth of timber. ex-
cept that by fencing and guarding the land the
annual fires have been prevented, and the trees
have had a chance to grow.

s%-OId Parson Brownlow of Tennessee, who
mixes his preaching and politics so together
that n man can't tell when the "Amen" comes
in, and when the "Hurrab." in answer to the
question when he expects to join the Democratic
party says it will be:
when damned spirits swap hell for heaven
with angels of light, and pay the boot in mean
whisky"
He says he shall not join the Democrats $50
long as there are sects in churches-feas in hog
pens-dirt in victuals-band men in America,
and loose women in France"
He says:-"I shall join the Democracy when
the Pope of Rome joins the Methodist Church;
when Victoria gets divorce and marries Old
Buck-when good men cease to go to heaven
and bad men to hell-snd when it is proved
there is no God"

The Excitement in Texas. Ne.
grOcs ArresIcd-- white Men
Driven from the State.

The Austin, Texas, correspondent Of
the Galveston News, writing on the Sd,
says:
AT a meeting of the Council in this city,
the day before yesterday, it was decided to
make general search of the negro quar-
tiers, and a Committee of Investigation
was accordingly appointed. One keg of
powder, large quantity of bullets, lead,
muskets, caps and bowie knives were found
distributed at several places. The negroes
imp icated in the conspiracy belong to
Messrs. Edward Clark, (our present Lieu
tenant Governor, Sam. Harris and Mrs.
Beal. The investigation is still going on,
and it is supposed that the leaders, who
were doubtless white men, have fled from
this city.
The Houston Telegrph states that much
excitement was created in Montgomery
county, on the Sd and 5th, by the arrest
of one Simmons, white man, who accord
ing 10 the statements of several slaves who
had been examined separately confess
ing that they had formed conspiracy to
murder Col. Shannon, resident of Mont
gomery. set fire to his barns and houses,
and makes their escape. Simmons had
assisted them in perfecting their plans. 1t
had not been determined what disposition
to make of him.
One Williamson, who had been supect-
ed of tampering with negroes at the Ma
vosota Depot, had been ordered to leave
the State via GALVESTON.

THE Touch OF THE MURDERER.-Who,
after reading the following, will say that q
superstition will work no good;
AT Georgetown, Delaware, few days
since, young white girl, of fourteen years
of age, was waylaid by negro, struck
over the head with club, string tied
around her neck until she was strangled,
outrage perpetrated upon her person, and
left dead in a ditch. Suspicion fastened
upon the negro, but there was no witness
to the hellish crime. o.
The negro, at the Corouers inquest, was
told to touch the body, but he refused
On the inquest re-assembling the negro
was told that he must touch the body;
this so frightened him that he confessed
the whole transaction.
Of course his belief in the well known
that wounds will bleed afresh
if the body is touched by the murderer
was the cause of his fear and Of his con-
fession.
