A MAD Doc SHOT We learn, says the
Appeal, dog with fully developed rabies
was shot and killed, yesterday, in the
suburbs of the city, but as far as could
be ascertained without doing any mis-
chief As warm weather comes on it
should be borne in mind by all persons
keeping dogs, that nothing is so certain
a precaution against this terrible disor-
der, as free access for the animal to a
constant supply Of fresh water, and it is
said by Youatt and other writer's on this
faithful friend of man, that in localities
where running water is abundant and
accessible rabies is seldom if ever known.
Many fine animal is senselessly sacri-
feed under the idea that it is mad, when
in truth It is saner than the destroyers,
and blind staggers, epileptic fits and one
or two other disorders to which the poor
dog is liable, very frequently lead to a
suspicion Of hydrophobis, as unfounded
as cruel--but when there is reasonable
ground for supposing hydrophobia is be-
coming developed, the truth can be ascer-
tanned beyond peradventure by six or
seven days secure confinement, and by
this very obvious suggestion of common
sense humanity, valuable dog may be
spared to his owner, without danger to
others; or else the malady be SO certainly
known to exist as TO satisfy the most
attached master of the necessity Of de-
stroying the doomed favorite.

The STREET RAILWAY. We had the
pleasure yesterday of examining the cars
for the street railroad, by invitation of
the gentlemanly foreman, Mr. Price
The contractors already have four cars
here, and more are expected daily.
Twelve cars are to run on Main street.
six on Main and Poplar streets, six on
Main and Jefferson streets and six on
Main and Beal streets, making thirty
cars in all The cars we examined are
to run on Main street, and are marked
main street, Fort Pickering and Chel-
sea; IN. 4 T. and NJ. & o. r. r. De
pots and Navy Yard" The cars for the
Main street line are painted bright red,
with the number of the car in gilt
upon the panel, surrounded by an
elegant scroll The numbers are also
painted upon the dashboard Of each
car, as we'll as Immediately over
the door upon the inside, and also the
letters IN. c. r. r. Co. The inside
of each car is finished off in oak and wal
nut, relieved by a chaste white, Each
car is provided with signal lights, the
colors Of which vary upon the different
lines those for the Main street line are
red. We also notice several new i'm
proyements which have been lately intro
duced in car building the seats instead
of being cushioned as heretofore, are
composed of alternate strips of oak and
walnut, the whole being shaped so as to
conform to an easy sitting posture by
this means much inconvenience from
dust and dirt is avoided The cars are
also provided with improved wooden
racks instead of mats For these
improvements, as we'll as the general
beauty of the street railroad cars, our
citizeus are indebted to one of the con
tractors, Mr. A. H. Hager, who has sug-
gested the improvements, and also given
his personal attention to the building
of several. Mr.. Hager has had an ex-
tended experience, having been engaged
in constructing street railroads for the
last four years Mr. Hager has lately
furnished the city of Louisville with
forty-seven cars of his patent By the
kindness of Mr.. Price, we learn that the
cars for the Poplar street line are to be
painted straw color, with yellow signal
lights; jefferson street line white, with
blue signal lights Beal street line green.

NUMBER YoUR HOUSES, We have
heard much complaint uttered against
those who have failed to place the proper
number over their doors, as is required
by city ordinance in the case. 1t has
caused much inconvenience, and lays
those who have not csme up TO the re-
quirements of the law subject to fine.
To the new free delivery postal system
it has also been detrimental, and con-
sumes quite a length of time, which
might otherwise be better employed by
the carriers in the early delivery Of let
tiers. 1t costs but little, and could be
easily attended, to- The business portion
of the city asks for this, and we trust
every one will come up to the require
ments of the law before they are arrested
by the police and fined for negligence.

BENEFIT OF PRoF. WITHERs -Mana-
ger Thompson having in the kindest
manner possible rendered the Theatre to
Prof Withers, he will take a benefit to-
morrow evening. The programme will
consist of several very pretty dramatic
and operate pieces, and the volunteers
for the occasion consist of some of our
best citizens, and all the talent of the
late company. We are informed that
among the number Of volunteers, is Miss
Nora Bradford, most beautiful singer,
with a voice as charming as that of the
enchanting mocking bird. This young
lady is one Of the sweetest roses of Mem
phis, and the daughter of Tennessee 3
most gifted poetess, making her, OF
course, the most attractive of all the
volunteers. Prof Withers has done
much towards giving refined taste to
the musical talent of Memphis, and our
people, those especially who love the
beautiful, should show their appreciation
of his efforts by giving him a rousing
benefit on Friday night. As leader
of an orchestra, he has no superior on
the continent, and his band is surely
second to none, and for the same num-
bers we have never heard better one
