Captain Athy, Chief of Police, yester

whole.souled Captain Athy got the man
out as soon as he read thelletter, which
is as follows: =

Home Colleges.

Heretofore it has been absolutely ne
cessary for the citizens Of this city and
adjoining country to send their boys to
colleges in other States, but this neces
sity no longer exists, if thorough, prac
teal education is the thing desired
Last summer the Christian Brothers
established a branch college in this city
and at once its success became fixed
fact. So fattering has been the patron
age extended that the Brothers secured
the aid of an additional number of teach
ers, and will reopen their college on
Monday, the I'd of September next with
ten professors. The Brothers will be
able to receive two hundred students,
including from thirty to fifty boarders.
This home institution deserves success.
The student can take either CONNER.
cial or classical course, and will be
taught music and drawing, if required.
All the branches are taught by learned
men, who have made the teaching OF
youth a study of years. No better col.
lege exists in the South, and none should
be more largely patronized Full par
ticulars as to terms, etc., can be had by
addressing Brother Maurelian, President
of the Christian Brothers College, on

HYDRoPHoHA.-A writer on the sub
ject Of hydrophobia contends that mug
cling the dog does not prevent him from
going mad, but on the contrary provokes
him to madness. He says that "all ami
mails of the dog kind perspire through
the tongue, and that the muzzle prevents
free perspiration, keeps within his body
much of the natural and necessary
wastage, irritates him beyond measure,
and undoubtedly tends to produce the
very malady sought to be avoided. Be-
sides which, it does not prevent the ami
NAL frem doing injury should he become
mad. 1t must be taken off to feed him,
and generally is taken off at night, thus
giving him full opportunity to communi-
cate the disease. The sole method Of
safety, aside from killing the dog, con-
sists, then, in positive confinement in a
securely built and continually closed
yard. Under such circumstances he is
no longer q public nuisance or terror,
although he does not cease to jeopsrdize
the lives of his owners family" There
is one method of muzzling the dog which

the latter struck him with the ak in

mind became filed with visions of by

he drank large quantity Of spirits, and

SCALPNG.-Tom Farrity, a notorious
scalping Jehu, was before the Recorder
this morning on the charge of beating a
customer out of FIVE dollars. Tom had
hauled Mr.. Randle from the Louisville
depot to the ferry landing, and wanted
FIVE dollars and half for that little ser
vice. Mr.. Randle couldn't see it, and
hence the matter was referred to Re-
corder Winters, who fined Thomas fifty
dollars, and put him under bonds to the
amount of $1,000 to answer the charge
of swindliug before the Grand Jury.
