GREiT EXCITEMENT IN FEOGTOWS.' The most remarkable dog-fight on record; came off at Fmgtown, on the frontier of Maine, aome rears aco. It engrossed the entire com ttmnitT in one general and indiscriminate melee, intermediate lawsuits, distraction of the town, its downfall and rain. A fanciful genius named Joe Tucker, a man about town a lounger without visible means of support a do-nothing;, loafing, eiear-smoking, good-natured, good-for- nothing sort of a fellow, owned a dog slick, intelligent, and rather pretty beast, alwax. at Joe's heels, known as well as hi master, and liked far more bv tbe citiaens of Frogtown. One day Joe and his dog were passing Bunion's grocery store, when a great piebald, ugly-look' ing. cut-eared dog, standing under a wood-wag' on, bounded on to Tucker's dog, knocked him heels orer head, and so frightened Bob Carter's wife, who was then passing towards her hus band's Wacksmith-Khop with his dinner, that she stumbled backward, and her old sonbonnet flopped off, scaring the horse attached to the wagon. He started hit Latherem's barber pole, and onset the load of wooa, all of which falling down Gumbo's refreshment cellar, struck one of Gumbo's children on the head, killing it Cur a time stone dead, and so alarmed Mrs. Gumbo that she dropped a stew-pan of hot boil ing oyster Into the lap of a customer, who sat waiting for the sarorj concoction by a table in the corner Mrs. "Gumbo rushed for the child the customer for tbe door. Mrs. Gumbo screamed, the child screamed, and the scalded customer yelled! "Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! my poomild!" cried Mrs. Gumbo. " E e e-e-el" screamed the child. "Oh! murder-r-r! Oh! my everlasting sin I'm scalded to all eternity! Murder!" roared th. customer, in great pain. The horse, the part of the wagon, and some of the wood, went on their mad career. The owner of the strange dog came out of the store just in time to see Joe Tucker seise abuse stone anJ derate it above his head, to demolish the strange dog; and not waiting to see Joe let inre, gr him such a pop In the back that poor Joe fell many rods up the street, and striking we foot of a Ions ladder, unon which Tim El- bny as perched, paint-pot Is hand, some thir y feet from terra firms, bronght ladder, Jim, o paint-pot sprawling on tbe earth; crippling Foor Jim for fife, and sprinkling bias paint eo piously over the broadcloths, satinets, ribbons, ! other Talaable goods of Abraham Miller, s formal and arm-tempered Qsaker, "bo ran out of ahe ioOT J" ss ft tiro dos had got fairly at It, hip and thigh', nip and catch. A gianes at mattsrs seemed to- eonvihe Abra ham of the troo state of the case; he evidently saw that Jim's dog stood rather s bad chance, for the csrtman's piebald dog was using Joe's dog rather roughly just about this time'; and in an snusnally elevated votss, bs "called oat to Joe Tucker, who had righted sp.' Y , " Joseph Tucker, thy dog's fighting."- , " Let 'em fight it out t", yelled toe-pugnacious owner of the strancs dog. u Let 'em fight it out. ril bet s load of wood my dog ess sat Soy dog in town, and I can eat tbe owner." . - We have said that Abraham Miller was s mild man; Quakers are proverbially . so. But the gauntlet thrown down by the stranger from the country stirred the gall of Abrahatn,-nd he rushed into the store, but quickly returned, foV lowed by a large cur, whose collar he had just slipped, and thus released from hiskennelin the rear of the store. This dog was s long, powerful-looking animal. - Friend," said the excited Quaker, - thy dog shall be beaten, I promise thee! Hike! seize upon him! Tuck, here boy!" and the dogs went at it. - Bob Carter, the smith, coming up in time to hear the stranger's banter to any citizen of Frog- town, and bent on pitching into somebody for the insult and damage done to his wife, clamped the collar of the stranger, and by planting a ee rie, of blows with hi. te- pound natural sledge hammers, upon the face, back and aides of his bully antagonist, Bob stirred up both the strength and ire of the bully stranger to the top of his compass, and they made spark, and claret fly from each other dreadfully. Joe Tucker's dog, reinforced by that of Abra- am Miller, took a fresh start, and, between tbe two, the strange dog was being put cruelly to is trumps. Deacon Pugh, one of the most pi ous and substantial men in Frogtown. came up. and indeed the whole town was assembling; and Deacon Pugh, armed with his heavy walking stick, and being greatly shocked at the specta cle before him, marched opto the dogs, exclaim ing as he did so, " Fie, fie, fie; for shame! dis graceful! you men; citizens of Frogtown, will you stand by and " " Don't thee strike my doo, Dsacon Pugh!" cried Abraham Miller, advancing towards the Deacon, who was about to cut loose right and left among the dogs with hi. cane. "Tour docs!" shouted the Deacon with evi dent fervor. Not my dogs, Deacon Pugh!" echoed the Quaker. " What did you say so for, thenT" shouted the Deacon. - " I never said dogs, Deacon Pugh!" "You did!" responded the Deacon, with ex citement. Deacon, thee speaks groundless," said the Quaker. Ton tell a falsehood, Abraham Miller!" "Thee otters s mendacious assertion," reite rated Abraham. " You you you lie!" bawled Deacon Pugh. " Thee has provoked my evil passion. Deacon Pugh," shouted the stalwart Quaker, " and I ill chastise thee!" And into the Deacon's wool went the Quaker. The Deacon, nothing loth, entered into the spir it of the thing, and we leave them thus, nip I and tuck," to look after Bob Carter, who fit and fought, and fought and fit, nntil Squire Catchem and the town constable came up; and in their attempts to preserve the peace and arrest the offender, the Squire was thrust through the win dow of s watchmaker, doing a heap of damage, while lawyer Hooker, in attempting to aid the constable, was bit, in a mistake, by the furious blacksmith in the short-ribs, and went reeling down Gumbo's cellar with frightful velocity! The friends and fellow-churchmen of Deacon Pugh took side, against the Quaker antagonist, and the shop-boys of Abraham, seeing their em ployer thus beset, came to tbe rescue, while two Irishmen, full of fun and frolic, believing it to bet" free fight," tried their hands and sticks ppon the combatants indiscriminately; so that in less than half an hour, the quiet and happy town of Frogtown was shaken from its propriety by one grand and sublimely ridiculous and terri ble battle. Heads and windows were smashed hildren and women screamed dogs barked Just flew labor ceased and so furious, mad, and excited became the whole community, that a quiet looker-on, if there had been any, w ould have sworn that the evil ones were in Frogtown. A heavy thunder-storm finally pot an end to the row; the dogs were more or less killed; s child severely wounded; a man Maided; a wag on broken; the horse ran himself to death; hi. owner was beaten awfully by Bob Carter, whose wife and the wives of many others were danger ously scared; the painter was crippled; dry goods ruined; s Quaker and a deacon, two Irishmen, Joe Tucker, town Constable, lawyer Hooker, Sauire Catchem, and some fifty slhers shame fully whipped. Lawsuits ensued, feuds followed, and the entire peace and good repute or I rog town annihilated I1 by remarkable dog "fit'- - - . PustDErriAi. OrTwioHS. James Madison ana all his successors, (Gen.

The death of this gentleman, which had been for some time expected, took place on Tuesday evening last, at hi. residence in Eagleswood, near Perth Amboy, N.J. ' Mr.Bimey was born in 1793 at Danville, Ky. His father was s na tive of Ireland, who acquired in this country a handsome competence by his own talents and industry. His mother was an American lady, of the nam of Reed, celebrated for her beauty and accomplishments. Mr. Bimcy, after pass ing through his collegiate studie. with distin guished success entered the law office of Mr. Dallas, in Philadelphia. In 114 he commenced the practice of law in his native State, and when only twenty -two was elected s member .of the Legislature. He then mtrried, and shortly after emigrated to Alabama, where he became a planter and the owner of slaves. He was soon chosen a member of the Alabama Legislature, where his talents and eloquence gained him great popularity. He soon, however, got tired of Alabama, and returned to his native State. He there began to give practical effect to the strong anti slavery sentiments which had early taken hold of him. To carry out his view, he entered warmly into the plans of the coloniza tionists, and in 1834 he caused a deed of eman cipation for the six slaves be brought with him from Alabama to he entered at the office of the County Court, for the county where he resided. Not content with this, he proposed starting sn anti-slavery newspaper in Kentucky, but not finding s printer bold enough to undertake the mechanical arrangement, he commenced the publication in Ohio. On the death of his father Mr. Bimey lihratedand made s comfortable provision for all the slave, on the paternal es tate The death of his wife occurring soon after, he paid s visit to England in 1840 and took a prominent part in the anti-slavery agitation there. In the following year he married s sis ter-in-law of the Hon, Gerritt Smith, a lady of the Fitzhugh family. In 1844 Mr. Birney was brought forward as a candidate for President by the "Liberty Party." Owing to the celebrated Raleigh letter of Mr. Clay againrt the annexa tion of Texas, the sentiments of which the dis tinguished writer subsequontly disavowed, Mr. Bimey got many of the votes which would have been recorded for the former but for that letter. The 62,263 votes polled for Mr. Birney could have given Mr. Clay a clear majority over Mr. Polk of 23,471. Although Mr. Clay could not have secured the whole of those, it i. unques tionable that the Northern votes which he lost through his Raleigh .letter would have gained his election. After this contest Mr. Bimey re tired almost entirely from public life. The state of his health for the last twelve years has unfitted him for any exciting occupation. F re- qucnt attacks of paralysis combined sith heart disease left him latterly s complete wrecs. lie ha. nevertheless continued to take s warm in terest in the political struggles of the day, and during the last Presidential canvas he recorded his vote for Fremont. It is only within the last few years that ha took up his residence in Eacleswood, N. J-, where he peacefully sreatn ed bis last, surrounded by his family and friends. who were all warmlv devoted to him. His menr Ul faculties continued unimpaired to the mo ment of bis death.

George R. Gliddon, the well known Egyp tian archteologist, died st Panama on the I6h of November. He wa. born in England about the year 1907, and at an early age went to Egypt, where hi. father was the American counsul an office which Mr. Gliddon himself afterwards held. When Mehemet Ali was projecting those national enterprises which have done much to improve Egypt, Mr. Gliddon succeeded in .im pressing the Paehs with the ides that American machinery would best subserve his purposes, and thereby opened a market for the produc tions of American ingenuity and skill. He be came an enthusiastic member of the Egyptian Society of Alexandria, and a rained correspon dent of Dr. Morton, the eminent craniologist, whom he furnished with several hundred skulls fxotl-all parts of the valley of the Nile, at con siderable expense snd personal risk. The resetts of Dr. Morton's examinations were published ia book dedicated to Mr. Gliddon, snd threw much light on the difficult question, which had been agitated with regard to the ancient Egyp tian.. At one period of Mr. Gliddon'. residence in Egypt, he became Interested in the success of the projected ship canal across the Isthmus of Suez, snd made s journey to England to advo cate that measure. Soon after, Mr. Gliddon transferred hi. residence to the United States. His long sojourn in Egypt snd extensive re searches into its antiquities, procured for him many invitations to lecture on subjects connect ed with that country. A course of lectures de livered by him before tbe Lowell Institute of Boston, repeated in New York snd Philadel phia, and afterwards published, did much to disseminate a knowledge of Egyptian research es snd swaken fresh interests in them. In 1854, in connection with Dr. J. C. Nott, of Mobile, Mr. Gliddon published "Types of Mankind." It contained papers by several distinguished men of science, and being addressed to the pop ular taste, had an extensive sale. A supplement to this work issued from the pres. in the spring of the present year under tbe title of "Indige nous Rates of the Earth." In April last, Mr. Gliddon sailed for Hon duras, having become connected with the in- teroceanic railway scheme. He was on his re turn to the United States when he died. His disease was pulmonary congestion, his age fifty years. iV. Y, Pott.

" Why, damn it," exclaimed our somewhat irritated Chief Magistrate, I believe you are looking for the succession just like Walker."

WAsmrOTow, December 13. Jack Henderson, ef Kansas, one of the lead ing members of the Lecompton Constitutional Convention, who was so roughly handled by Jim Lane in his recent speech st Leavenworth, arrived here yesterday. He was appointed by the Convention to procure a certain amount of printing for the Territory, and makes that an excuse for hi. present visit to Washington Inasmuch as the printing for the Territorial Government of Kansas is all done at SL Louis. Jack's excuse for coming here dont smohnt to much. He has another and s higher mission. He has been closeted with Jame. Buchanan. He says that before he left the. Territory, the Missourians were organizing in large numbers, for the avowed purpose) of Invading the Territo ry to rote for the slavery proposition on the 21st of this month. The ProIarerj- men, fearing the defiant tone of the Free State men, who, under General Lane, are preparing to resist op pression, hare sent Henderson here. He de el ares that the result of the interview with the President has secured fresh orders for more troops to surround the polls sod protect iee who treaent tkemsrttea fs safe; la other words, to srstret the invader from MUmmri'tar.

For example, we find five Jones, two ia the Senste and three in the Chamber, and what is worse, six Davis, two of whom bear the name of Timothy the one from Iowa, the other from Massachu setts. How shall we recognize them, without mentioning their respective States. It is much to be feared that they will mutually discover each other's secrets from inevitable errors at the Post Office.
