APPLETONs' JOURNAL is now enlarged
pages, while a cover encloses it, In this
form it takes more definitely its place as Il
weekly household magazine. It will coz
tinue to present healthful, sound, instruc-
tive. entertaining and animated literature.
1t will confine itself, as rule, one serial
novel at a time it will contain the best
short stories attainable; it will give
picturesque descriptions of Places, and
stirring narratives of travel and adventure;
it will have highly entertaining papers up
on various subjects that pertain to the pur-
suits and recreations of the people; will
give portraits and sketches of persons dis
tinguished in various walks of life; will
present lively, social sketches, having in
special view those things the knowledge of
which will contribute to the welfare and
happiness ofthe household f; it will describe
phases of life in all quarters of the globe;
1t will discuss the more important events
of the time, and the advances made in art,
literature, and science; it will endeavor to
reflect all the ideas, movements, and de-
velopments of society; and while hoping
to enlighten, will strenuously aim to enter
tain, with large abundance of material, all
who resort to its pages for intellectual
pleasure. 1t will employ illustration suffi-
GENTLY to give variety and animation to its
pages; but we shall seek rather to make it
journal Of popular high-class literature
than merely vehicle for pictures.

RABID DoGs.-We are informed by Mr.
Joseph E! Funkhouser, residing on the
Cedar Creek road, eight miles from town,
that there is quite CONSERVATION among
the people of that neighbothood about
dogs. Many persons are afraid to come out
of their houses. Mr.. F. states that he has six
valuable dogs infected with the rabies This
is rather strange, as it is generally suppos-
ed that midsummer is the season of hydro
phobia, That gentleman states that several
weeks ago strange dog appeared in the
neighborhood and that his dogs were
bitten By it. He thus accounts for the
prevalence Of the disease.-Win. Neacs.
