ident of the Board Of Health, ii becomes my
duty TO make the following communication
to the public.
MIR. John smallridge, residing near the
toll-gate, in this city, was bitten by q mad
deg, on Saturday morning, 7th inst. The
dog Was his own, and for several days ex-
hibited symptoms Of illness, which, at the
time referred to, was developed in the form
Of canine madness. Seeing this, Mr.. s. at
tempted TO confne the dog, but was attacked
by him violently and bitten on the arm. At
ter this he succeeded in killing him with an
axe. | understand Mr.. Mudd, near by,
had a dog attacked by the same disease, and
II il thought that several dogs in that part
Of the city were bitten. | make this commu-
nication in hopes the authorities and the
people Of our city will attend to this matter
at once, and secure the confinement or death
Of at least . thousand superfuous miserable
ours that infect our city. BY so doing they
may prevent the occurrence Of that most hor.
rible OF all the maladies which affict the hu.
man race. ]. II. SANFORD.

NEW FIRM AND NEW Goops.--0ur young
friends, McCune d Sample, have just re-
ceived large stock Of new goods. The as
sorsment 10 various and comprises all styles.
They can please the ladies with as fine styles
and qualities a. any store in town. They
are polite and accommodating young men,

WARx.-Ws heard on Saturday that the
thermometer was up to 80 in the shade. IL
was quite summer like and very pleasant,
though there was an uncasy feeling that such
high temperature on the 7th Of April was
hardly seasonAbls, snd that the buds and
leaves, which are now quite forward, may
yet be scared by frost. The forest on the
opposite shore 10 rapidly assuming a green
and leafy appearance.
DuRKKx.-The advertisement Of Mr.. Dur
kee tells it's own story. Yet, lest there may
be some who may not read it, we may repeat
some of the inducements which he holds out.
In the 6rst place he utterly disosrds the cred
Ii system, AN example which oil Of as ought
to follow. He buys for cash and sells for
cash, and consequently cash customers are
not saddled with the losses occurring by the
credit system. 1t 10 clean business, and
the purchaser can rely upon il that be is no.
paying more than q legitimate and reason
able prc6t. And when the goods are paid
for, be has the satisfaction of knowing this,
no inexGrable dun, or inevitable constable
will ever be after him on that score.
In the next place, Mr.. Dnrkes has the ad-
vantage Of having . partner 10 New York
city to buy for him, whose experience Of 30
years enables him to buy at the lowest rates,
and with perfect adaptation to bis market
saving, also, travelling expenses back and
forth.
And, lastly, Mr.. Darkee has been here long
enough to understand the market. He
knows what 10 wanted, and keeps a model
store. His terms are invariable, and his
system is the only true one. III he does not
succeed, it will not be because he does not
dauavvn ~
