Wc commend to the attention of

i i another column. The Empizoo
disease has taken a truly alarm
::ig form, and it would be wise for
.ir farmers, now that the pest is
i'Ot upon us, to give a strict atten
tion to the care of their horses and
Ai ixtkeim to keep themselves well
a 1 ised of its advance and of the
remedies usod to pkevknt as well
;s to ccre. The extract from the
Financier may well command the
truest consideration of all of our
eople, especially of those who
have been charged with tho protec
tion of the rights and promotion
"f the interests of tho State.
This Pennsylvania eoneeruriu iU
own' state, where it is best known,
is properly recognized as a monster
who goes about seeking whom it
ruay devour. No corporation is
. great for its rapacious maw, no
interest too small for its insatiable
appetite. It stretches out its vast
arms, north, south, cast and west
and swallows, without a gulp all
i i the way, both great and small,
until in its enlarged proportions and i
intricate ramifications its own share
holders aro profoundly ignorant of
its condition and of its purposes.
Wo are not inclined to lend our aid
'u cnlargiug its plylacteries or in
-Hording it any facilities to grind
down our interests to its advance
ment, nor to assume a proportion
vhioh will bring Virginia under its
heel.

An inoflTensive man by the name of
Boney Davis, was moat ahamefully
handled and then. shot by the Dublin
police, Wednesday night of last week.
A gentleman of this place, who was
at Dublin at the time, give us the fol
lowing particulars : Davis was intox
icated and was creating some distur
bance in the town. A policeman un
dertook to arrest him. Davis made no
resistance, and was eo drunk that a
boy could have taken him. The po
liceman, however, deemed it necessa
ry to disable hini, and for this purpose
struck him a severe blow with a slung
shot, inflicting a bad wound, from
which he bled like a stuck hog. He
was then dragged, in an insensible
condition, to the guard-house, and im
prisoned along with some other offen
ders. Dunn? the niirht. the other
prisoners tunnelled out of the prison
and made their escape, leaving Davis

ing, discovered the hole by which the
others had escaed, and attempted, in
his intoxicated condition, to scramble
out, when he was discovered by some
one of the valiant police, and shot,
the hall taking eff ect in one of his legs.
The wound was such as to require am
pututionof his limb, which was done
on Tuesday last. At last accounts
there were no hopes of his recovery.
The whole conduct of the police in this
matter is denounced as brutal and out
rageous. There was no occasion for a
resoit to violent means either to elfeet
his arrest or prevent his escape. The
striking and shooting were, therefore,
purely gratuitous.
Chesapeake Bay,
October, 24, 1S7U.
Dear 2cuk:
Your people, while the Small
Pox panic prevails had better pack up
and come east and try the bracing re
freshing sea breezes of this magnificent
inland sea. under the care of the ac
rompiished officers of the splendid
steamships of the Baltimore Steam
Packet Com pan j. It will do all of you
good, and return you to your hilly
homes with an idea that there is a land
" beyond the limits of the great city
that is to be of Bristol Goodson."
I must apologise to you that I have
not fulfilled my promise in furnishing
you more frequently "dottings" of
what I hear and see, but the fact is I
have been too lazy to write or even to
read, and if you do not pardon me ou
this plea I must throw myself on " the
merey of the court."
" The Epizootic " is a new disease
among horses which is ravaging seve
ral of our northern cities at the pres
ent time, and it is to be feared will
spread with the rapidity of the cattle
disease, bringiug yet greater damage
in its train. - "
Sometime in the past week it made
its appearance in Kochestcr, N. Y.,
ami on the 22nd inst., it had progress
ed so far that the street railway com
panies were compelled to suspend bu
siness, as also the livery stables and
express companies. On the latter day
it assailed the horses of Buffalo. N. Y.,
with such virulence and to bo alarm
ing an extent that it was denominat
ed by the Journals of that city as h
public calamity.1' Many branches of
industry had suspended biisinr ss and
the disease having appeared amonir
the canal companies. " the commercial
men are alarmed." The papers of
New- York of the 24th inst. report
scrcn thousand horses in that city
as stricken with the disease "in the
past twenty four hours." The Epizoo
tic is not confined to any particular
clasn of horses " but all stables have
been visited by the disease, from the
squalid shed that shelters the coster
monger's nag to the magnificent pal
ace where the millionaires thorough
bred recline at ease, surrounded by all
the luxury that wealth can purchase."
In Albany, Troy and other places
along the Hudson, in Syracuse. Bos
ton, in a few short days, thousands up
on thousands of horses have been at
tacked. The veterinary surgeons dif
fer in opinion as to the real-natureof
the discace, but all concur that it is a
species of influenza, and the major
par pronounced it to be catahral fever.
The remedies proposed by the most
eminent veterinary surgeons are chlo
rate of potash or muriate of ammonia,
tar. dissolved with fluid, extract of
belladonna would have also a soothing
effect to the throat and a strong lini
ment well rubbed into the throat is
strongly advised. Dry diet is to be
avoided it should be well wetted and
of rather a laxative nature. Absolute
rest is contended for by all. The dis
ease Is said to be In the atmosphere and
no preventives have as yet beeii sug
gest, beyond . cleauliness, laxative
food, light work.and comfortable quar
ters. The X. V. Herald in speaking of
this disease says: It is a startling
announcement which will reach the
rraders of the Jlcrald this morning
that, at the lowest computation, there
are Ave thousand horses in this city af
flicted with a d.sease which, from its
alarmingly sudden appearance and no
less alarm ing spread, threatens to leave
New York forsome days without the
means of equine travel. It seem to be
au affection which veterinary surge
ons denominate catarrhal fever, and
commences with a couch. In a peri
od of about thirty-six hours a running
from the eyes and nose is developed
ar.d the horse becomes weak. If re
lief is not soon afforded he will suc
cumb. This epidemic, for it seems so
far to have attacked horses only, is
traced in its origin to Canada. Ac
counts now reaching us from points of
connection between that country and
New York tell of its gradual approach.
It was reported from Boston, Buffalo,
Rochester and Syracuse before reach
ing here; but whether it has been
spread by actual contagion or is due to
?omc atmospheric cause travelling this
way is not yet quite clear."
The Financier, (a Saturday Review
of Interest and Political economy)
of th 10th inst., in an article on the
growth of corporate power, contains a
paragraph pregnant with iuterest to

cheerful gossip of Mrs. Washington,
who had known Mr Thompson and
visited his hous in Philadelphia,
helped to enliven the time. This
grave and respectful old mao was the
link between the two magistrates at
Mount Vernon. Charles Thompson
had beeii tl.e secretary through all
its eventful career of the Continental
Congress, which had directed the
cause of the colonics from desultory
revolt to inuepeuuence ai.u ro union,

distinguished gu st was amused by
the young official household in the li

There was. another fern tie dear to
the newly-eiected president, and he
kept her in filial reniemberance at
the very nvunent of his great promo

There is in New York City-, a beau
tiful enalosure, ornamented bythe un-
; erring finger of nature, assisted by art.
i I astlietic beauties make it the rendez
vous of thousauds of devotees to inno-

street and Fifth Avenue, it contains
: about eight hundred acres of land.
; elegantly and substantially surrounded
bv a wall of granite, and the elevation

Lately .-doping hillsides we are soon
ushered upuii a .scene of a different
'. nature, and rather surprising, to one
at first observation.. At: one glance
; our vision comprehends a vast plain,
, and upon it feeding, great numbers of
j herbivorous animals, collected from
j all quarters of ,ti'C globe and grazing
j together ui .the most tranqeil and cor

I camei of Af ica, to the wild buffalo
i of our West and the timid lama of
i South America. On these wc feast
j our curiosity for a while and then
pass on r.. nidi v. Our course is soon
j checked by some large buildi
tf
tbesvy ma.ionry, the contents of which
I of course we must kuow. We enter;

am ball, in strong iron cajjes are se.
cured specimens ot carnivoious ani
mals the shaggy lioir. the fierce ti
cer. the MieakinS' hvena, the swift-
footed wolf and multiplied others.
Tliese ve examine without the least
lear, and hurriedly make our exit '.on
ly for other curiosities.' .Immediate
lv in front as we leave this den of
wild beasts is a deep pond containing
a huge monster that never ceases
swimming around and around and
never hushes its moanful roar. It is
called a sea-lion. In a Neighboring
pond are lat:e allgators, some bask
ing in the sun on the tdges. Near
the banks of these the ostrich stalks
at large in his free domain, ' equal.
ling in height a horse with his rider."
And there too the long.necked peli
can gobbles the fish from their wate
ry homes.
On we go. and the sight is once
more attracted by a large building ol
more handsome architecture than the
first We enter, and then lost in won
der, gaze upon the contents of Central
Park Museum, as they glide before us
in one grand panorama. Here vol
times could be written and half its
wonders yet be undescribed. Who.
ever has seen the Smithsonian Muse
urn at Washington can by magnify
ing it a hundred times have some con
ception of this. We passed out an i
again saw manv cages filled with car
nivorous animals. Near ly. perched on
tlie limbs of large trees were seen,
eagles, hawks, vultures condors, and
other birds of prey, either picking tire
flesh from half eaten fragments which
they held in then talons or making
the dales resound with their hideous
screnms.'
And r.oM" wc pass from th$ i
wild scene leisurely onward. Our
walk so nicely gravelled and graded
winds in many a meandering way
alonsr the green valleys, now beside
the foot of some dwarfish mountain
peak, now through some shady grove
! that blots from view nil else save it
j self and. its beauty. II re we rest
utirseives awnue upon i!ie rustic se tts
or recline at ease upon the earth's
green carpet, lut soon curiosity
leads the weary Imdy onward. Emerg
ing from the de!ii)tfol prove, we as
cend perchance a sleep hill, or rath
er knoll, and find on its summit a
rustic cottage laced round w ith vines
and supplied with srits of correspon
ding rural beauty and taste. Wc
cannot, linger, ourcore is onw'ard.
Iut we do stay, and stop in wondpr
-nd aduitr.stion For instinctively we
east our eye- t a distance from our
rlevctcd position, and are struck at
once with the clear waters .of a mag
nificent lake occupying a low:-ground.
girt in by many green hillocks, w.hose
bases it laves. On the waters of this
lake, though it is very far away, we
can descry the gray necked goose,

the rest some in amusement gaze on
the happy scenf, and others are sense
less to its beauties. Here we are lost
in wonder and forgetfulness. till float
flying time and thronging crowds
warn us we must not stay. With re
luctance we move along our chequered
walk, row passing through some si
lent dell bedecked with flowers, now
round tome rocky point, now through
some grove. As we pass along de
lightful strains of music come watted
to our eirs. We seek its direction
and wend our way thither. But on
our way w e pass through a lovely cn
closure filled with elegant fountains
of the most attractive forms. Some
throwing on high their sparkling
streams, some dashing in beautiful
spray their swift waters, and some re
volving in spiral forms, entangling
and intermingling the siherthreads
that issue from them. In pools, at
the bases of the fountains, may be
seen innumerable golden fish, gajly
swimming in the limpid waters. All
these we hastily pass, and soon are
astonished at a vast multitude throng
ed together. We soon find tint this
motley assembly, conipo e i of indi

the sternest car will listen to the
soothing strains. We refreshed our
limbs, wearied by physical labor, and
our wits, wearied by th sights they
had witnessed. Hut soon the last
golden rays of the sun reflected from
the ptirplcitinted trc tops above us,
warned lis homeward go; we lingered
and dim twilight whispered, go; we
heeded not her gentle voice, and then
stern darkness commanded us depart,
and look no more that day on the
"Paradise of New York."

Mutilated Currmcy IIw
Redeem It.
Many persons must frequently have ;
on hand mutilated currency. They
can easily have it redeemed without
troul4iug the bank. From a letter
recently written by General Spinner,
explaining the act of June 8th, we
take the following: "It is the duty of
every postmaster to register in the
manner prescribed by law, but without
payment of any registration fee, alllet
ters eonkiiniiijr fractional or other eur
reney of the United States delivered
to him for mailing to the Treasurer of
the United htatea for redemption.
PoHtmastrra and others may forward
defaced and mutilated currency to this
ofliee for redemption,, and receive re
turns either In new currency or drafta
on New York, Uostort, Philadelphia or
Jew Orleann, without risk or expense
and with no loss of. time beyond that
required to convey and count their re
mittance. Ah)
A Ttttr Love.
. One quiet day in leafy June, when
bees and birds were all in tune, two
lovers walked beneath the moon. The
nifrlrt was fair so was the maid ; they
walked and talked beneath the shade,
with none to barm or make afraid.
Her name was Sal and bi.i was Jim,
and he was fat and she was slim ; he
took to her and she took to him. Says
Jim to Sal: "By all the snakes that
squirm among the brush and breaker,
I love you better . thau buckwheat
cakes."
Says the to Jim. since you've be
gun it and been and gone and done it.
I love you next to a new bonnet."
rays Jim to Sal, My heart you've
busted, nut l have always gals mis
trusted." Says Sal to Jim, I will le
true if you love me an I love you, no
knife cao cut our love in two." Says
Jim to Sal: "Through thick and thin
for your true lover count me in, I'll
court no other gal agin.
Jim JeaneU to Sal ; Sal leaned to
Jim, his nofe just touched above her
chin, four lipsjnet went ahem
ahem!, 'And then And then and
then. Oil, gals beware of men in
June", ' and . underneatb the silvery
moon, wnen trogs ana Junebugs are
in tune, lest you get your name in the
papers soon. - ,-, ... , ;
