a sixteen-pound bombshel to protect the

happened to enter the shop at the time, and
demonstrated with him, saying 1t was a
dangerous venture. The old mi: man assured aan
him that ne had extracted all the powder,
and that there was no danger. He then

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 2.-An official note
from DR.. Russell, Secretary of the Board Of
Health, states that there is not case oil
yellow fever in New Orleans. The Plea.
yune, on the sanitary condition, says ga
providential interposition, perhaps, has
kept sickness from our doors. The health
of the city has been preserved in the face
of the most utter disregard of sanitary pre-.
cautions. The canals are stagnant with
impurity, and vegetation, green and rank,
covers their surface, and decays and testers
beneath the hot rays of the sun. Pools OF
fetid water, the receptacles ofdead animals
and the sweepings of the levee, are scattered
over the "Batturc" propertS, reeking with
pestiIential disease and filing the air with
sickening odors."
The branches Of the city as well as State
governments seem characterized by lmbe-
cility, corruption, fraud or violence.
Judge Abel, Of the First District Court,
calls the attention of the grand jury to the
action of the State Treasurer, Dubuclet, in
refusing to pay the original creditors OF the
State. and compelling them to sell their
claims to his friends. The judge says:

financial agent of her creditors, has been

Judge Abel regards the laws inadequate,

Of the State to counsel together for its re-
demption, and in conclusion, says, The

now utterly in darkness, which, re-

FEARFUL ENCOUNTER WITH MAD-DoG.-
Intelligence reached this place on Thursday
that Mr.. James Briggs, OF Stafford county,
who resides near the old Spotted Tavern,
had been badly bitten by mad-dog. The
dog was the property of MIR. Briggs, and
was highly valued by him. 1t had disap-
peared from home on Saturday night last.
but returned on Tuesday night. On the
following day the dog attacked the fowls in
the yard. Mr.. Briggs being unable to call
1t off, went towards it to drive it away,
when it turned aud seized him by the leg.
Fortunately, his leg was protected by q
stout boot. The dog then jumped at
Briegs's throat, and in warding it off, Mr..
Briggs was caught and badly bitten on the
left arm between the elbow and wrist. Mr..
Briggs son now came up with an axe, by
several blows with which the rabid brute
was dispatched. No doubt exists that the
dog was affected with hydrophobia.
Mr.. BriggS's wounds were dressed by DR..
Ciarkson-first by soaring with a ref-hot
iron and then by the application of caustic,
AS an additional precaution against dan
ger, MIR. Briggs Immediately Set out for
Rectortown, Fauquier county, to apply the
maidstone to his wounds. -FrederickSb urg
