BITTEN BY DoG-A few days ago a small
Child OF Nancy Jackson, colOred, living at l345
Monroe street, was bitten by dog, and yesterday
the chfld's arm became very much inf1amed and
hydrophObia was feared. Medical aid was sum-
mOned, and the alarm Of the mother somewhat
dspelled.
DR. SUTER, the physician to the DOOR, having
just had brought to his attention a published
statement to the effect that when he was sum-
mOned TO attend the cOlOred man who had at
tempted suicide by taking laudanum, he stated
that the case was hopeless th at after he left the
friends OF the suffering man administered anti
doteS and saved his life, is made out OF whole
cloth; that he (Dr. Suter) administered the anti
dOtes at once and made no such statement
MUCH DISSATISFACTION is expressed by the citi-
zens generally at the proposed removal OF the fire
alarm wires from ST. Johns church bell, which not
only struck the fire alarms but also certain hours,
as 90 the other alarm bells. Hope is expressed
that some satisfactory arrangement may be made
at once for continuing the striking OF alarms and
the hours as heretofore.

BUSINESS PRosPECrS-As far as the canal is con-
cerned, especially the coal trade, it Is generally
conceded that the prospect for early trade is
gloomy 1t was hoped and expected by Water street
merchants that business would open early and
br1Skly this But, OF course, when but little
coal comes In but few vessels come here, and
Water street business is dun, in nearly all
branches Of trade except the grain. A great deal
of building was expected this season, and may yet
be done; but the high figures tor labor and ma
tertal may deter some In other respects the pros
poets for spring trace are good.

spondence, Francis O. St. Clair, chief of the con-
Sular bureau of the State department, testified as
to the method of filing and keeping Official letters
He would recognize the right OF the chief clerk or
Secretary to withdraw paper from his custody,
but would refuse any other person. He remem-
bered indexing letter from Shipherd about May

letters OF the Shipherd correspondence and search
was made for letter which had been 1ndexed in
the handwriting OF the Witness but it could not
be found. He asked Mr. Walker Blaine II the 6ecre-
inquiry. Nothing more was said about the letter.

called for the letters; he remembered seeing some
OF them on his desk long after their date but did
not know who might have had them Mr.. Tres
colt often called for papers and got them, as he
was understood to be In the employ of the depart
ment as counsel. Mr.. St Clair said that he be-
lieved that the missing letters were now at Mr..
TrescOtt'S house. He did not think that they had
papers to be misplaced for the time being.
Mr.. T. John Newton, employed in the index bu-
reau OF the State department.. testified that he re-
membered indexing letters OF Shipherd OF May q,
He never saw them again. and never knew they
were missing until inquired for by Congress. He
thought they might have been taken out about the
time Mr.. Hurlburt was receiving his instructions.
MR. sHIPHERD DOES NOT APPEAR TO-DAY.
The committee met at 10 O'Clock this morning to
continue the investigation. MT. 6hipherd, OF New
