England and France.

France and England are not at
actual war with each other; but il
we may judge from some late demon
sta tions, never did there exis: be-
tween two States more hostile II ell
ings than those which characterize
the connection at this moment 81
those important empires. The de-
mestic armed attitude Of England
speaks for itself, and a project alleged
to be that Of the Emperor Napoleon
requires no comment. His majesty
is said to hive expressed his resolve
TO build fifty floating. iron cased
impregnable batteries. He is re.
ported to have said, "Let England
go on building ships.of.tbe line ad Il.
btam. That | regard not, for my
floating batteries will pass into the
+centre of them unhurt, while deal
ing an Inhalation to them"

ted by careful examination. The

at once detect the spurious bills. A

How TO TREAT THE BITE OF A DOG
-Dr. Stephen Ware, of Boston. ia
bis testimony in a recent case which
grew out of the injuries from the
bite Of a dog, furnished the following
advice:
In the case Of the bite by dog
where the teeth of the animal pene-
trated the flesh, whether the dog
was known to be mad or not. he
should use the same precautions.
Ee would wash the wound with
warm water, extrac. all the virus pos.
sible by sucking the wounds with
his lips, and theu cauterize it deep.
ly with the caustic must readily OBJ
tanned, but should use potash if it
could be procured at once.
The time in which the effects OF
the bite Of a rabid dog would be
seen. varied from two to three days
to as many years, but if no effects
we're felt after two or three months,
as gene raj thing the patient might
consider himself safe. Bites made
through clothing are seldom produc-
tive Of much harm, as even if the
dog is mad the clothing absorbs the
virus before the teeth reach the
flesh. Most of the fatal cases are
where the person was bitten on some
naked part. <

A Northern View Of the Matter

"Brant," Northern correspon-
dent Of the New Haven Courier, in
letter to that paper from Mont

view Of white and black slavery:
81 find no difficulty in expressing
myself frankly, both politically and
socially. DO it learlessly, without
receiving any abuse, though assure
those who may read this letter that
l am no abolitionist, but enc prepos-
-sessed in favor of The South and its
peculiar institutions. l would not
object to being the proprietor Of a
half dozen smart negroes | could
pick cut at my hotel. This excite.
ment about slavery is more than half
humbug; there il as much slavery
at the North us at the South. 1t
is legalized slavery, too. The work
ing population of Lowell, and girls at
that, are slaves in the strictest sense
of the werd, as compared with the
slaves of the South. The negro has
more privileges than they, more time
to himself, and is as much respec-
ted by the community as those en-
ployed in The Factories at the North.
Ons has the stigma Of factory girl"
the other of ''slave." One is the
slavery of liberty, the other the lib.
erty of slavery. say this in all can
dor and honesty; / say it from q
sense of justice to both. / believe
from what have seen of slavery on
several plantations and at the hotels,
that the slave is the happier Of the
two; there are exceptions, Of course,
to all rules. The overseers of the
factory girl and the slave occupy the
same position in socisty,i in their diff
ferent localities; some are human.
other abusive; some are men, and
some are beasts" |

A DOMESTIC RoMANcE.--Truth is
often romantic enough. We think
we once beard it said that truth was
stranger than fiction. Let as sample
the fact: Some time since the wife Of
an Ohio farmereloped with one Of her
husbands laborers. The man said
nothing about it, got divorce, mar
ried a sister out of the same family,
and all went on as before. The 9TH
er day knock was heard at the door,
and the farmer opening it,beheld, wan,
pale, and ragged, his truant former
wife. She had been deserted, aud
had DOW come back repentant.-
Her sister and success 'r refused TO
see her; but the husband, more for
giving, will build her cottage at
the end Of the farm, and support her
during the balance of her life.

Democrats, by large majo.ities;

sented BY Adrian aud Riggs, anti Lee

District Speaker Pennington is prob
ably defeated, but the vote is very
close, and nothing like the majority

The result depends on Hudson coun-
Ity. which is variously reported from
800 to 500 majority. If it ranges
near the lower figure, Pennington
is reelected. The Legislature will
be probably Republican Senate and
