"Morituri Salutamus !"

At convention of the Unregistered Dogs of the Seventeenth Senatorial District, held at the Potter's Field ia South Canaan, the fol- lowing Preamble and Resolutions were adopt ed, and transmitted to this paper for pubIica- tion:
 WHEREAs-We, the Unregistered Dogs of the
 Seventeenth Senatorial District, to the num-
 Der of many hundreds, have from no fault
 of our own, but from the poverty or neglect
 Of our owners, been outlaWed, condemned to s death, and have had price set upon our
 heads, Therefore,
 Resol0ed.-That the danger of hydrophobia- slightly increased though it may be, offers no sufficient justification for the wholesale mas sacre of a race whose love and fidelity to man have been attested for thousands on thousands of years.
 ResotcaR.-That we ask of man only small portion of the consideration with which he treats his own evil appetites We notice that just now there are two movements agitating the human race one proposes to abolish Rum; the other, the Dog. The former movement has many opponents; the latter, almost none. Could anything be more cruel and un- just than the contrast here presented? Be- cause perhaps six persons have lost their lives from hydrophobia in this State during the year past, the cry goes up for the externination of the most intelligent, the most leyal, and the most affectionate of the races subject to man 1! View, on the other hand, the awful destruction wrought by Alcohol, = which kills it's thousands where hydrophObia kills one By uniting together in giving up this one form of enjoyment, men would avoid all danger of a most dreadful disease-a horrible death-in- life; they would put most effectual check on crime and pauperism; and they would bring peace and happiness to thousands of wretched homes. Yet many hesitate to make the sacri- flee, while they ask us to lay down our lives to remove the very slight danger to which our existence exposes them. Is it possible that mans appetite is so much largerthan his heart, that he can carry this monstrous injustice in- to actual execution We -intreat him to pause in his crusade for our extermination, at least long enough to destroy this tempter of his own making.

The acquittal of Vera Zassonlitch for an at tempt on the life of Gen. Trepoff, late Chief of the Russian Police, has been one of those re- markable affairs that show the volcanic con dition of society under despotism. It was at first supposed that the young woman in question was Russian Charlotte Corday. bent on removing the worst of her nations tyrants, although sacrificing her own lifein the attempt. Later news deprives her desperate act of the exalted motive attributed to it, and converts her into rather commonplace adventures.
 It seems that she had been first the mistress of Trepof, and, after being deserted by him, of s young man whom she excited into making q personal assault on Trepoff. When the young desperado was punished, she took the matter in hand herself, and though her attempt on Ire poff's lifewas unsuccessful it was the means oi showing him in his true light to the En- peror, and thus securing his removal from of ice and her own acquittal The lurid light of Niiilism shines through this transaction, and shows how weak is the security attained by the total destruction of liberty qa
