Fight auth Mad Dog-Fierce Struggle
and iarro'o Eseape.-A few nights age Mr..
Owen Hamilton, OF Chester county, Pa,
was aroused by bis dog going mad in the
room occupied by himself and family -
Lighting candle as quick as possible, he
saw the dog coming towards hin as il to
make battle. Not knowing in the moment
of excitement what to do, he jumped upon
the bed; but seeing the danger OF his wi
and children, and having no weapon at hand
to kill him with, be made an effort and sue
ceeded in catching him back OF the neck -
Afr desperate struggle, We might say
tor life or death, he overpowered the dog.
Then came the trouble to dispatch him be
ing almost overcome in the struggle. The
gun was brought, but it was unloaded the
axe, both hands were required to hold the
dog. Finally, rope was procured, and
the lie tied him. He was then killed.
Mr.. Hamilton fortunately received no inju-
ry; but one hand was completely paralyzed
Tor time from the effects OF the struggle.

Commercial "Black Lists.o

A contemporary ia Georgia-the Atlanta
Southern Coniederacy-has undertakes to
publish lists of commercial houses in the
principal cities O the North, distinguishing
those that are friendly and those that are
hostile to the South This has excited
great commotion among the merchants OF
those cities, and caused general cutlery
from the newspapers. 1t is no part OF our
business to defend our Georgia centempora-
ry; but, we would remind Northern mer-
chants and journalists, who exclaim against
these "black lists" that the "Commerclal
Agency" system, established and maintained
by themselves, has also its "black list OF
Southern merchants; and that a very stri-
king difference between the two syste Ias IS
that one is public, and affords the opportani
ty of redress to those who are injured by 1t,
while the other is secret and strikes Its dead
ly blows in the dark. We do not know from
what sources the Southern Confederacy OBJ
tains its information concerning the houses
it puts in its lists, but they cannot be OF
more disreputable character than those en-
ployed BY the Northern Commercial Agen-
cies. These latter are compelled to employ
unprincipled Hen, for the most part brietiess
and hungry attorneys, who disgrace their
profession, and sink their manhood, by ia
king upon themselves the shameful occupa-
ton of spies; and who mouse and skulk
about in search of Information to be stealth
ily transmitted to those who are base enough
to employ them. or course, information
from such creatures is never to be relied on,
bat we know that Northern men do rely on
it, and that this dirty system OF espionage
and eavesdropping is reco gniZed, encoar-
aged and sustained by them. Ii the personal
credit and private character Of Southern
merchants are to be subjected to this dis
graceful ordeal, we can listen with compla-
cency to the nowl that Comes from those who
require it, when their political characters
are ventilated in public Journal. In this,
as in other things. the North will have to
clear its own skirts. before it has any right
to complain of the South Richmond Wing.

The Opera in CalifornIa-A Handsome

The opera flourishes in San Francisco.
The company there, composed of a sprinkl-
ing of Yankees, Germans and Italians, con-
cludej, recently, q very successful season.
Henry Squires, the handsome tenor, and
Madame Lucy Escott, the prima donna, be-
came great favorites in San Francisco, but
all the young ladies who have been desper-
ately in love with the aforesaid tenor, may
as well hang up their hopes, with their bon
nets, on peg, for Madam Rumor has it that
he will soon fall into the ranks Of the Ben
edicks and lead to the (h) altar handsome
young widow, who has hitherto plumed her.
self on being invincible to the attacks of the
little god It seems the widow was a con-
slant attendant at the opera, aud always oc-
cupied a stage-box, until short time before
the close of the season, when she suddenly
ceased patronizing it, and about that time
the rumor of engagement was whispered.
A moralizing reporter thinks it's great
pity that such handsome fellow as Squires
should ever get married, for as long as he is
single he is trump card, and will draw
large assemblage of romantic young ladies;
he is, as it were, public property; available
and eligible, but the moment he marries
he sinks into a common place indi-
vidual, the property of one woman, with
moral and legal claims upon him, and in-
stead Of parading the streets in violet kid
gloves, he will soon be seen in awillow-ware
store, deeply interested in the relative mer-
It's of vehicles for airing Juvenile results"
The romance will be all gone. What
young lady can get up any enthusiasm and
sympathy for "Edgardo' when they know
that as soon as the opera is over he must go
home TO his wife and family like other men?
Where is the romance in seeing "Ernani" in
a robe-de-nuit, walking up and down the
room trying to quiet the baby2 Imagine
"Manrico' going out to spend the evening,
and having his hat made convenience for
carrying the necessary linen for the young
est that could not be left at home, or 'Don
JUAN" holding forth on the merits of the
baby, and enumerating the number of dental
appearances.

THE MANIAC CoNvICT- IsTrors of an Evil
Conseience.-A convict in Van Dieman's
Land, after quarrelng with one of the over
seers, brutally murdered him. He i'm
mediately escaped, with few clothes and a
gun, to the wild solitude of the bush. The
murderer lived, for some time, like savage,
occasionally making his appearance, armed
to the teeth, at various huts, where he per-
emptorily demanded food. The convicts
mind ultimately succumbed to the severe
mental agony and physical distress to which
it was exposed, and he became dangerous
lunatic. He was eventually perceived to be
under the dominion of terrible halluei-
nation. He imagined that he was constantly
being pursued by the ghastly phantom of
his murdered victim. He was observed to
rush frantically from tree to tree, bush to
bush, house to house, from one part Of the
district to another, endeaYoring to fly Qike
an animal hunted to death by ferocious
bloodhounds) from the clutches OF some per-
son constantly in his wake, and steadily
tracking his path. The maniac eventually
surrendered himself into the hands of the
police, alleging that annihilation was prefer
able to the agony of mind which he suffered.
In fact (although insane( he prayed earn
