BURNT ON SrsPICIoN OF CANNIBALIsM.-
The revolving practice of cannibalism among
the Indian tribes is now happily, of rare oc,
currence. And by none is it held In greater de-
testation than by the natives themselves Min
gled, TOO with their horror Of the crime is a
strange sutersttticus fear of the criminal,
whom they believe to be endowed with a su-
pernatural power against which nothing
earthly can prevail. AT pluphin River, at the
beginning Of the winter, tragedy was enact.
ed which makes one shudder. A poor sickly
old man named l5achetacketa, was supposed
by Cusick and katchewa his TWO sons law,
TO sho " a disposition to become a mar -eaier.
Alarmed at the thought of such calamity,
hey determined to prevent it by putting away
the object of their dread before he became
proof against their weapons. One day the
unsuspecting old man was living helpless in
his camp, when Cusick and Katchewa fell npon
him aud barbarously murdered him. They
cut of his head aud then burnt his body to
ashes-MontreaI Gazette, Feb. 81.

that his widow is in consequence entitled to

from the East, the European trade with Japan
has been stopped in consequence of the manner

are reported to have made large profits through

What n Farce the ordinance concerning dogs
is. Nobody regards ~ as any ything else and
neither the Mayor nor his officers can make
anything else of it. II says that any dog fourd
going at large. il not licensed, may be taken
and killed. and that no slave shalt raise or
keep dog; but here IL virtually stops, and 10
therefore worth nothing. The city assessor,
IN taking the taxable properly, is required to
register all dogs. but the ordinance provides
40 means Of Kidding the city of them, ether
nan catching them In nets, when in the street.
Under ltevery citizen has right to keep u pack
of hounds in his yard aud in the streets, With
ont license, and unless they can be caught by
me policemen, nobody else has riph. to In
lure then, provided they are not vicious. Up
10 this time the enormous number of hfty. fre
dogs have been licensed, leaving not less than
ZEN thonsna6 nniirfnssd ones, to howl And whine,
ana bite and fight, to the annoyance of we'll
and sick, and without any lawful means of
getting rid of them. Is it to be wondered at.
then. that persons distribute poison to these
canine pests. as they would to rats, and some
times kill valuable animals The Council has
the power and ought to exercise II. to have
everv unlicensed dog In the city killed II an
ordinance lookingto that end were passed, the
city would get at least s2,M revenue from
dogs ""d eight or nine thousand of them would
be killed

tn cry Of Mad Dog always creates an excite
ment. and sometimes leads to silly excesses-
Yes terday morning as a little urchin was
passing along 9th street on French Garden
Hill. he was attacked and severely bitten
one OF his hands by an eetray cur. who had sta
tiohed himself as sentinel at 4 gentiemams
gate, and seemed determined to earn his break
fast by keeping off all iatruders Soon after
in1iicting the wound, the rumor was started
thas the dog was mad. and forthwith the BOYS
OF the neighhorhood assembled, armed with
stones, and attacked the canine savage at his
post That he was a hat dog for biting the lit.
lie fellow, no one will deny, and that he after
wards became very nnd. when shower oil
pebbles was hailed around and upon him. is
equally certain. il we are TO Judge from the
manner at which he snapped and jumped and
groWled aud barked at hem but his anger
soon turned into pity as he felt his pedestal
Knocked from under him. and gathering up
MS wounded limbs he made a dash at the line
OF ms as>aiants, preached il, and running as
II he had two Tin pots tied to his tail, soon
cleared the hill, never more to return. The
Mayor would do well to make foray upon
the stray dogs just now, for their names are
legion.

On the other hand, we find that those socie-
,ies into whose proceedings the slavery ques-
lion seldom or never enters have increased
their income. Thus the American Seamen's
Friend Society shows an increase of s2O,96l,
he Society for the Amelioration Of the Jews
an increase Of s37s3, and the Presbyterian
Board OF Foreign Missions On increase of 81, 900
The truth Is that the merchants and Others,
~ho were the largest contributors TO these so
cieties. are beginning to fnd that their opera
tons are seriously affecting the interests of
rade by the perpetual agitation Of the slavery
question. and they are accordingly buttoning

DECLINE OF THE ANNIVERSARY SPIRr!Too
MUCH ABOUT THE NEaRo.-There Is Q decided
falling of this year in the interest, excitement
and amusement which usually characterized
the anniversaries Of former times. The nun
bers attending the meetings are fewer, and the
proceedings generally are fat and without
point We devoted fifteen or sixteen columns
yesterday, and we devote almost a. many more
to-day, to reports Of the different gatherings, but
the transactions of the various bodies seem Ia
lack the spirit which for the past ten years or so
animated the pious and philaathropic Assem-
blages Of this kind. There are fewer white
cravats to be seen In the streets, and smaller
number of strong-minded women from the
rural districts, than in previous years. Even
the Gsrrisonian company, which used to be so
full Of spicy debate and entertaining absurdity,
seems to have lost its fire, and lapsed into a
very dali and stupid performance.
1t is evident that the public are getting tired
of the anniversary excitement The niger
question has had 80 large share in the pro-
ceediDgs of the several societies that outside
people have become little disguised, while
the inside elements themselves have grown to
be discordant and inharmonious upon that
subject. The perpetual discussion of the
anti. slavery question has partially dis
organized many of the societies, and will
finally break up the whole. Even the
purely anti slavery bodies themselves are
not free from dissension; but the religious
bodies, the Bible and Tract societies and others,
are on the eve Of being torn to pieces by the
same agency. The best proof, perhaps, of the
declining interest of the public in the anniver-
saries Is the falling of in the annual receipts OF
some of these bodies from that of last year, as
he folio wing ngnree will show

AWFUL EFFECT or PoLrrIcn Associations
UroS THE PARsoSs.-Every one knows how
many Northern pulpis have been desecrased
by the introduction Of political topics, and the
teachings Of the Gospel nulliaed by admix-
lures Of oil sorts Of baser elements; but II has
been generally believed that the churches
South remained sound and free from the skep-
ticism which has been fostered hereabouts BY
the Tribune philosophers Itwould seem. how
ever, from an incident at Charleston, that the
Decentralization Of the democratic party has not
been without iss effect upon the conservative
clergy, one Of whom, in opening the Conven-
ton with prayer, addressed the Deity thus
"Oh, God Thou who art pleased TO consider
Thyself a. the fountain Of all Weldon, look
down" &C., &C. This very cautious way of
stating divine truths must have been learned
BY intimate association with hair-splitting
sophIsts OF the Ben. IIallest and Je6. Davis
school, and II this sort Of thing is going on We
shall soon have al our churches turned into
political cosvsauoss. Win the psrsoss dsbst
