He has been subject to fits for a long time, and his disease came upon him yesterday again, which gave rise to the report that he had the hydrophobia. Our Marshal also desires us to say that there is no law in force, authorising the indiscrimin ate slaughter of dogs. When such a law is pass 'd, the Marshal says he will attend to it, either by himself or agents. Auveiitbisu. The editor of the rottsville I'rtHH well remarks that the business man who wishes to do business in the year 1S18, must make his occupation and location knowu to the public, by advertising in the newspapers. A few years ago things were different. When the country was new, and places of business comparatively few, the proprietors might sit ut home and wait for such customers as should chance to find them; but now when competi tion is great, and every means used, and no ex crtion spared, to make friends and acquaintun ces, and thus secure business, every one w ho desires to Busluin himself, must invite custo iner through the papers. At this day, every citizen pretending to intelligence and respecta up I ii 1 1 m in r " to do business, navrrtiie. CGTlf the Sheriff is not conniving tolcp the negro who cscapid from juil a few days.ago from being caught, ho ought to clear the mai lt r up. , An article in the Commercial of this morning bear that construction. Another Death Fhom Chloroform. The N. York Sun wiys a oung ludy in that city recently met her deaih in the most awful muniirr, from the use of this now fashionable but dangerous preparation. About three weeks ago, the ether was employed to allay the toothache; but iuI)m rju 'inly, the suiUrcr was" supposed to die:, from wlmt muse does not appear. The upparent death, however, was ou'jr a trance, or piotnickd swoon; for, cm opening the coffin a day or two ngo, the unfurtuuiite giil hud turned round upon her face, und in her agony and deaperution had actually destroyed two of her flu gers, on rceuwrin; fioin her temporary death by ether. Fnr.An or Nati rk. Tlu) New Yoik Tribunt notice a lumb which was seen in Washington m-ikel, in that city, on Tuesday, which was quite remarkable. It hud three ears, one f which wasexactly ontho topof the headfour fore and four hind leg one body above the loin and two distinct bodies below that two tails, two fair, well-formed breusts on ench Mile, and its color was white, with one mouth, nose, &c. To attain the i.o it hud, it must have lived for tonic time. Newspapers. A bill has been introduced in.to the Legisbitnre of New Jersey, "for the preservation of Newspapers," which authorties the clerko of the counties to subscribe for, and preserve in a bound form, all the newspapers published in their several counties. The iiJvuntuges which must result frcrn this measure ore tooapparent to require comment, for the newspapers are the true chronicles of the times. ' 0011011. Hexrv Clay has accepted the init'iiouU the New York City Council to visit that city. Grcut preparations were making to give him u grand reception. fjCiMr. Turney, a Senator from Tennessee, said u few days ago, "that therj wus only one thing he regretted about the treaty, and that wart, that Scot I had no', negotiated it instead of Trist.

This is the title of atruly laughable Weekly paper, published at Philadelphia, at $3,00 per annum in advance. The paper is edited by one large Donkey and a whole raft of smaller brayers, to the infinite delight of thousands weekty. If the publisher will send us an exchange very likely the Donkey may bray itself into notice in this neighborhood, and profit thereby. Brevet Rank. The character of Brevetrank is but little known out of the army, and we are frequently enquired of as to its bearing, and for an explanation of its valte. While reading a few days ago, an extended notice of Bevet Major General Worth, the following met our eye, which answeres the question s o often asked: "In England," says the writer, "the highest rank known in the line of the army, is the rank of Colonel; all the superior officers holding their appintments by brevet. The com mission of Colonel is their coveted chiefly for its emoluments. A Major General, a Briga dier General, even a Lieutenant General, is not paid as ituch, but lives on the pay of his regi ment, if he holds a colonelcy. Here it is different; for here the the Brigadier General and the Major General receive pay equal to his . There are but two full Major Generate;

Alabama Molasses. The editorof the Mobile Register bus received a specimen of molasses from W. C. White, Esq., of Monroe county, Ala., made from cane grown on Ins plantation, of a quality that compares favora bly with the best Louisiana. The quantity of ground planted was four aud a hulf acres, and the product was 680 gallons molasses, which, at twenty-five cents, shows the handsome return of$l70. This, says the Register, is a better production than cotton or corn, and it was attended with less expense of labor than either of these crops. Mr. Whits is preparing his grounds for a much moreextensive crop this season, and he has little doubt of entire success in this new branch of agricultural labor. Early Ripino Eminent men always rise early. Sluggards lie in bed and young men wc regret to say, indulge in such a vice. A person who performs duily manuel labor, may require eight hours sleep, part of which is for the repose of wearied limbs, but he, who is called a scholar or a gentleman, require only six hours. He who eats much, acquires a habit which .increase pon him, and so it is with sleep; youcansleet vhen ou will and wake when you will, if yon resolve to do so. It is a sin to waste a bright morning, in bed, when by briskly springing from your couch, you feel refreshed, ave valuable time, and promote henltb,

Rumored Pbobabihty op the Rejectiox of the Treaty. The well-informed correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes as follows. The statement is unexpected, but the wiiter makes it in a tone of confidence that would seem to be the result of knowledge: Washington, March 1, 1818. The treaty is almost sure to be rejected- A new phnse of it has developed itself, viz: the opposition to it of the Whigs in a body. For this I was uot exactly prepared. 1 wrote you six days ago, that Baldwin, Bell, Berrien, Clark, Corw iu, Davis of Mass., Dayton, Johnson of La., Phelps, Spruance, Uphain, and Webster would go against it; but Messrs. Crittenden and Clayton have since gone over, and the route is complete. Of the De mocrats, Ashley, Allen, Atkinson , Benton, Downs, llannegan, Houston, Lewis, Moore, and Nile go against it, which is quite sufficient to reject it. Mr. Benton on yesterday made a most statesman-like, temperate, and dignified argument against the ratification of the treaty by tlie Senate, and produced a most profound impression on nil the Senators present. 1 have told you that if he brought his master mind to bear on the subject he would either confirm', or (which was most probable) blow the treaty to atoms. Mr. Webster has not said much on the subject, but w hat he has said is sufficient to damn

the treaty on his side oi the House. 1 his un expected co-operation between the Whig and a portion oi me ietnocrauc senators, ausoives, the opposition, in a measure, from the respon sibility which would otherwise have rested on their heads for rejecting the treaty.

A Cincinnatian's idea of the picturesque may be gathered from the follow ing article, w Inch first appeared in the Cincinnati Enquirer. On the corner of Vine and Commerce streets, a hog, chased by a dog, ran over a lady, and carried her several feet on his back, injuring her w hen she fell, considerably, The scene was raiher picturesque. Sisgclak. The grandfather of John Quincy Adams had four paralytic attacks, but survived them all, and died at iast of old age. It is staled in a New Y'ork paper that Mr. Adams anticipated he would die on the Birth Day of Washington. - j

The President's . Message cpon the Treaty. We copy the following from the Philadelphia North American of the 29th ult. The statements made in regard to the nature of the original instructions to Mr. Trist is curious and no doubt authentic. " Washington, Feb. 27, 1848. The President's message to the Senate, communicating the treaty and the accompanying documents, is brief and pertinent. For ouce he eschews elaboration and comes to the point because the subject is a tender one. He tells his constitutional advisers that he did not anticipate a negotiation on the part of Mr. Trist, who&e authority v as revoked, but "he bas done so," aud therefore he adopts it. This preface and a recommendation that the Senate do not ratify the tenth article of the treaty, w ith his reasons for the same, make up the sum total of the message. The tenth article was principally the subject of my last letter, but 1 recur to it again for sufficient reasons. It provides that all empressario or colonizing grants made byMexico in Texas prior to the 2d of March, 1&3G, shall be guaranteed and confirmed by the United Scales, and that w here the qualification of occupation exists, which was prevented by the ditficuhics between Texas aud Mexico, the period assigned for . the exchange of ratifications shall be allowed the grantees tor initiating settlement. This provision extends also to grants made

SUNATOR HELL'S SPEECH. Ma. Bill, from Trnue-ree made a powerful speech aguiiisl the ten Regiment bill in the Senate, A correspondent thus notices his conclusion: "Alluding to the remarkable fate which rmed to hang over Mexico, he introduced Cortex upon the stage, w ith his fanatical baud of plunderers. Having briefly, but powerfully sketched his perilous march and ballh s, his wonderful victories, his final triumph, over the Aztec race; by a few bold, rapid touches, he traced Ihe steady descent of Snanii-h power. till ihe point of time, w hen the Plunderer was plundered w hen theCouquerer, who had over ! ms fol " lh.e nutk uf.

One by one she stubbed them to the heart, threw them from the height, uud then plunged headlong into the abyss beneath. Scipio wept not for the wife and children of Asdrubul, not for the ruin of Carthage, but he read iu the horrible tragedy the doom of the mothers aud children of Rome. "1 see," said the Sneaker in a low thrilling tone, via the fate of the descendants of Cortez, the retribution that awaits my own countrymen," and then, with most most startling em phasis, he suddenly exclaimed in a voice of thunder, "Back! back! in the name of God! Make the best treaty you can linger not a day! Flee, flee from that couiury, as jou would from a city doomed to devouring fire!" "Without one word more, he sal down, but the echoes of that terrible warning rung iu un.. ears for hours afterwards." This is well said, and are the same sentiments so elegantly expressed by Thomas Corwin, more than a year ago, for w hich he hu been denounced a traitor by men who themselves only lack the opportunity of selling their country, to do it. j

Position op Gen. TATlor. The N. Yc-ik Courier and Enquirer ine following co-.. pares the position of Genera.Tayiot . of General Washington, when e iatter cca. sented to be named as a candid for Presidency: But it is insisted that Gen. Taylor pledge himself in advance to some extent -n "

This position is not in accordance wi.h u.e sentiments of the Whig party, hitherto, ipra this subject, and it is w idely at variance v? th the practise of the first and greatest of otv Vxnidents. At the close of the revolution, afier the completion of the constitution. W. ingion was called upon to become a ci iiiu3 for the Presidency; and the following ir its Iroin private letters, which he wrote to soine f his trit-nds, show clearly the ground which he regarded as just and proper in regard U ;': e exaction of pledges.
