MISCELLANEOUS SELECTIONS.
Death of "Dr. Ilagan.
It will be seen by a paragraph which
we copy below, from , the New Orleans
Courier of the 10 th, that Dr. James, Ha
gan, the editor of the Vicksburg Senti
nel was killed in that city, by a son of
Judge Adams on the 7th inst., the Dr.
being unarmed at the time. . The intel
ligence reached this city yesterday, and
was received with feelings of the deep
est sorrow b y the friends of the deceas
ed. Dr. II. w as, for a number of years
a resident of this city, during which
time he endeared himself by his fine tal
ents and gentlemanly deportment, to ma
ny of our citizens. He subsequently
visited Washington, and. while here,
corresponded with ability and distinc
tion, with one or two leading journals cf
the day. He also associated himself
with Gen. DufF Green, in the editorial
control of a medical periodical, and
wrote for its pages many able articles.
Unfortunately for. his' character, his
feelings and life, he was prevailed upon
to visit Vicksburg, where; as the . editor
of the leading democratic paper of that
place, the Sentinel, he became identified
with the iniquitous doctrino of repudia
tion, andwaed a fierce and uncompro
mising war against banks, bankers, &c.
In this position, the whole nature of Dr.
Hagan seemed to undergo a char-ge.
While in Philadelphia, he was gentle,
mild and retiring. At Vicksburg he be
came a leader and a target, and was soori
involved in various personal difficulties,
which ended mluels and other scenes
of violence. Fliil. Sat. Museuvi.

simple Directions for those exposed

The danger incident to excessive ex

boring classes arc liable, might be ob
viated by moderate attention to a few
simple rules, if- observed faithfully, im
mediately after such exposure. This
a matter, which, however apparently
trivial it may appear to some, involves
much of human comfort. . Wc have been
close observers on this subject, and
much exposed ourselves in a variety of
cli mates, and can therefore speak from
experience., ,"-
. In the fijMplacc,- lay aside atj boyish,
apprehensions of beingth;dught old-wo
iianisii, ,and immediately after extreme
exposure, remove your; damp clothingt
and having briskry chafed thejskin with
coarso flannel, a crash-towel, or a flesh
brush, before a good fire, and put on dry
clothes; refresh yourself with a light
but substantial supper of soup, meat,
and vegetables, or-bread crumbed inta
boiled milk, with the addition of a little
cayenne or black pepper, or, if you hav&
neither, what answers as well, a red
pepper or two, thrown into the milk
when boiling an article, which tha
smallest patch of ground pertaining ta
the poorest, should be made to bear. If
the exposure has been great, and you.
are much exhausted, then retire, direct
ly after supper, to a well prepared. bed
and our word for it, the next morning;
finds you as well prepared for a good
breakfast and active duty as ever.
