DoGs.-If there could be more in
tolerable nuisance than the army of
dogs that infest certain portions Of the
city, and make night hideous with their
bowls and bow.wows. Jinks says he has
no idea what it could consist of. He af-
firms that last night, in his neighbor-
hood, there were no less than six wisdows
raised by Disguised individuals who
wanted to sleep but couldn't. He says
that he wouldn't begin to estimate the
number of boots thrown out of the win
dows. A piece of bread, buttered with
arsenic, has a good effect in such cases,
sometimes.

A TALE OF THE SEA.

A Man Attempts Suicide by Starvation,
and Subsequently Throws Himself
Into tho Ssa.
from the Savannah Advertiser, October 22.1
A most singular case of endurance without
food, for an almost Incredible length of time,
occurred on board the English ship Colonist,
which arrived at this port yesterday from
Liverpool. It appears, from the statement Of
the captain, that q Swede named John Wat
son shipped at Liverpool for the voyage.
Nothing of an extraordinary character was
observable In his appearance or conduct Tor
some time. He discharged all the duties re-
be getting along finely. After the ship had
been out TOR several days the Swede became
invisible. A dilligent, but unsuccessful
search was made for him In every part OF the
ehip. The first time he was actually missed
was on the night of the 9th OF september,
when he2wss on watch. It was finally conclud-
ed that he had jumped or fallen overheard
ther search was made. On the kth OF Octo-
Der, as one OF the sailors was down In the hold
Of the ship looking around for some purpose
or other, he suddenly came upon the missing
man, lying close down upon the sacks of salt.
of which the cargo OF the ship consisted, and
quite near q cask OF fresh water. Here he
had been for all that time-from the 9Th of
SCpt0ulUCk uhtiA thO -
eight days. What he had subsisted on while
there, or If he had done entirely without food,
does not appear. There was nothing on
board theehip among the cargo in the shape
of food, and It is quite certain he did not go In
search OF any, else Re would have been dis
covered. The poor, unfortunate creature was
taken ont more dead than alive, and food
and water offered to him, but he refused
them. Everything that could be done tor his
comfort and to restore him to q strong and
healthy condition was attempted, but he
seemed perfectly Indifferent to all. AS strict
q watch as possible was kept over him, but on
the seventh day after he was taken from the
hold he seized the opportunity and threw
himself into the sea. AS soon as he was dis
covered q life preserver was thrown to the
drowning man, but instead OF attempting to
save himself by means of 1t he pushed 1t from
him. The captain then ordered Q boat to be
lowered and put out for him. This was imme-
diately done, but before 1t reached him he
sank beneath the waves and passed like a
bubble from sight ahd into eternity. Ills
body was never seen again. There appeared
to be no cause at all, at least so far as the un-
fortunate mans conduct and conversation were
concerned, upon which to base his singular
and persistent efforts at self-destruction.
