MAD Doc.—On Thursday last, a large dog belonging to Mr. Isaac l'usev, was pursued into town by several farmers of the neigh borhood and shut. It is asserted that the animal was mad and had bitten several dogs in the country and a number of others while being hunted through the streets of the bor ough. We trust that the alarm may have been a false one, and the unfortunate brute a sacrifice, like so many other 3 during the reign of the Dug Star, to the unfounded fear of "mad dog!" Nevertheless, we shall not be sorry to record as a Consequence of the excitement, whether justifiable or baseless, the general muzzling or chaining of the countless curs which infest our town to no good. We by no means advocate the re opening of last season's sanguinary cam paign—at least we deprecate the public daughter of the victims—but should the decree go forth of "death to the dor,e"tvith a pro \ iso for its execution ih a manner which shall as little as possible outrage the tender feelings of the public, w•e will bless Chief Burgess, Town Council and executive oiticers for ridding our streets and alleys of a nuisance which has growl to be well nigh intolerable.

Mirto.krEn Iloitu•ttix.—On Frlday, 16th inst., Wm. Wagner appeared before Esquire Weloh and under high-pressure excitement made complaint against Wm. E. Krater, of Marietta, for slaying (partially) Richard Campbell with a stone. -It was the opinion of informant that unl6s a warrant vas speedily issued the blow would prove in stantly fatal. Under these circumstances Deputy Constable Derrick was empowered to take the body—not the dead body—of Krater, and produce him to answer the charge of Homicide. The warrant was served and defendant appeared on Monday morning, at which time also came the de funct, with a huge plaster on his head and the fumes of an old drunk spinning inside, ready and willing to te,tify to the manner of his taking off. The parties are naiggatc:rs of the savory and odorous ditch which suprdi'_ts so liV;:h.al a proportion of cui• daily be::crage, and were with their respective vessels, under full sail towards "Saints' Rest," vulgarly known as Marietta, when the little unpleasantness be tween them occurred. The dispute was one of right of way, Krater's boat having run aground and Campbell, in endeavoring to pass with his own craft, getting it foul of the other vessel. The snarl led to an inter change of civilities between deceased arid K's hands, one of whom was about "sailing, in" when Capt. Kratcr arrived front the front where he had been in charge of the motive power,-and dissuaded his belicose subordinate from hostilities. Campbell, who had considerable loose whiskey "Aosh in"round" in him, was intolerably abusive, and immediately turned the of flow his of fensive eloquence upon the peacemaker, "reading his pedigree" and keel-hauling him after the most approved bilge-water style. His choice selection of canal compli ments was more than Krater's good humor and philosophy would bear, so, to stop his talk, Capt. K. knocked him on the head with a stone. The remedy was effectual. Abundant evidence tree produced, c,tab- Reuling defendant's charactor as :to indus trious. orderly and peaceable citizen, while the late Carol:tall, even in face of lids sud den and lamented decease un•ler circumstan ces, according to all ra-ccedent, naturally calculated to e;tablish his reputation as a saint, was proven non:riot:AT quarrelsome and abusit e, especially when in rye. The mgistrate, in view of the virulent blackguarding lavished by Capt. Campbell upon defendant, adjudged the former guilty of profanity- and "conduct unbecoming an officer atol a gentleman," but in considera tion of his late death and the price of the plaster which decorated his cranial (level opement, let him off with a reprimand.— The charge, of Homicide against Capt. Kra 01or was dismissed, tile killing lining dermsd justifiable, but, as somebody had to pay the costs, the Justice decided that the luxury of "plugging" with a stone so enticing a mark as Camidiell's head, Was worth the And Capt. K. bled for the amount. 1110110 j WOULDN'T STAY MA N 1 ,311 ED.—On Monday, 10th inst., that naughty young woman, EVanna. Melissa Kuhn, banished fn• life to the penal settlement of Lancaster, by ;Jus tice Welsh, on the llth inst., as recorded in the I,st number of these veracious chroni cles, was brought before the Fame magis trate by High Constable Derrick, having been discovered by this vigilant and efficient ollicer cruising within the tabooed borough limits. The 'demoiselle appeared with less reluc tance than on the previous occasion, evinc ing little of the recalcitrant spirit which characterized her former progress to the Temple of .3usticc, and necessitated the tin- I ploymcrit of auxiliary motive pdwer. A change of tactics also marked her defense. She rested her case less Mcm Nituperati‘e hostility towards the officiating constabulary than on copious and lachrymose pathos; the emollient influence of which ; she es^ayed upon that or;eous formation popularly be lieved to represent the human heart in judges, lawyers and J. P's. This abandon-j of aggressive warfare ror the seducing softnesS of tears and entreaties evinced a certain knowledge of human nature on the part of Evanna Melissa, but a melancholy ignorance of comparative anatomy. The ordinarily universal solvent, a woman's tears, failed to make an impression on the Esquire's petrifaction, and we question whether the young woman, had she wept muriatic acid, or even old rye, would have succeeded in biting deep enough to move tile I first bowel of compassion in theJustica.— That austere dignitary put on his sternest I and most judicially be-wigged inflexibility of countenance and deportment, heard the evidence of the arresting officer, and, in soi -1 cam tones, demanded of the prisoner wiled'. er she had anything to say why the extreme severity of the law should not he invoked in her case—wily sentem:e Of death thould not be passed upon her. Mi , s Kuhn here turned very pale and seemed for the first time to realise her criti cal position. She reasoned. She ns , orted that when sentence of baniAnne, l t Lail been pronounced she was allowed no time for get ting her "things" together, and how could a young lady be expected to visit Lancaster without a wardrobe? Further: her gar- inents when "got together." were not in iting conditioa; the felt justified in remain ing one day to -,va-h and one day to iron.— When this progres^, had been male in "get ting ready" she discovered a defect in her shoeing, and, as her pilgrimage, maugre the thirty-five cent, was to be made afoot, what could she do but tarry another day for re pairs? This brought her to Saturday night: she could n dt travel on Sunday: on Mondav she was arrested. She threw herself on the mercy of the court, only entreating not to be :cot again to Lancaster. Her antipathy to a summer residence in that city, she stated. arose only from the fact that her parents and friends moved in its first society. The Jus tice thought he could provide her a snug lit tle retreat where she would he secluded from her relatives and the rest of mankind, yet he could not recede from his former decision, and change entirely her place of destination. To Lancaster she must go; but this time in charge of Richard. Evanna Melissa was sentenced and sent down for £0 days at hard labor, as a vagrant. PENNSYLVANIA RsanoAD.—The removal of the obstacles to the efficient working of this great roal, between Philadelphia MA Pittsburgh, is thus described by the U. S. Railroad ana Mining Register: Through passengers on the Pennsylvania Railroad trace to this time been dubjected to the inconvenience of °bangle.; cars at Harrisburg; this change was compulsory, even after the State had relaid the Colum bia Railroad track with a wider space be tween, because of the condition of n small piece of iron track in Market street, east of Broad street in this city. At the same time, the short space between the bottom and the crown of the tunnel on the Harrisburg and Lancaster Railroad, at Elizabethtown, pre vented the passenger engines of the Penn sylvania Railroad Company from drawing trains through it. This obstacle has been removed by cutting down the grade of the track in the tunnel three feet, thereby al lowing the smoke stack of the largest loco motives to pass clear of the arch; the city tracks in Market street are being relaid wider apart; and on Monday the new ar rangement took effect, under which the trains will be passed over the whole length of the road without change of car or con ductor on the way.

LETTER XXIV. To the Editor of the Missouri DeinaCrut: SIR-I propose to close this series of let ters, by giving a description of Asthma and Nasal Catarrh, and the only known mode of successfully treating them. Asthinct is characterized by shortness gif breath, wheezing, and a sense of tightness in the chest. The chest feels as though it were bound. The patient sits up in bed and pants fur air, the house feels too small to breathe in, and the doors and windows must be thrown open. if the fit is severe, the perspiration starts out on the forehead, the expression of the countenance becomes ansfous, face haggard, lip's pale, hands and" feet cold, and the heart beats violently. Af ter some time these symptoms gradually subside, and the patient is relieved. The cause is to be found in spasmodic constric tion of the air -tubes, caused by irritation of the nerves supplying the lungs. This nar rowing of the calibre of the tubes, prevents the access of a sufficiency of air to the air cells, and partial suffocation, (in which con sists asthma,) is the result. There are sev eral forms of asthma. Nervous or Spasmodic Asainza.--In this form the structure of the lungs or heart, in the first instance, depending purely upon sudden cramp or contraction of the muscu lar fibres of the air -tubes; but if proper treatment be not applied early, extensive disorganization of the lungs will take place. and life be rendered a burthen. Some au thors make a separate class of those cases of spasmodic asthma, where there is none or scanty expectoration, but the distinction is unnecessary. They call it dry asthma. Emphysema is asthma in which a portion of the air-tubes are enlarged, generally from prior attacks of bronchitis, or that form .of it called by some, congestion of the lungs. In these cases the patient is never entirely easy in the breathing, some shortness being always present, nor can lie down horizontal in bed. Unless checked by proper treat ment more and snore air-tubes dilate, until the sufferer's life becomes one of persistent misery. TrealmenL—Asthma, is admitted on all hands, to be a purely local disease, depend ent most commonly on bronchitis, and yet hitherto, it has baffled the art of the most scientific physicians. The first step in the right direction, was the introduction of in haling the fumes of burning saltpetre and stramonium and the vapors of ether and chloroform, and the relief afforded by these palliatives, is often prompt and great. But they leave the cause of asthma untouched. By a scientific employment of medicated in halation, the causes are attacked and re moved. Dry catarrh, thickening and ulcer ation of tho air tubes, and other irritating provocatives of asthma, aro easily removed by this means, and result in the permanent cure of asthma. This is the only philosoph ical, rational, and successful mode of heal ing this disease; the cure is prompt, and re lief speedy, and had inhalation done no more than this, it would have a weighty claim on the gratitude of mankind. To present the subject of nasal catarrh intelligently to the reader, it is necesmry to observe, that the entrance to the lungs is approached by two sets of cavities, the nos trils, and the mouth, opening into one large one, the pharynx. These arc lined by a mucous membrane, which is continued down the windpipe into the bronchial tubes, to the minutest ramifications, and invests the tiny air-cells in which they terminate. In flammation travels along mucous membranes with facility, hence the importance attach ing to either of the cavities above designated. First in order comes the nose, in our climate prone to a chronic inflammation, called na sal catarrh, so often the precursor of con sumption. Sometimes a chronic discharge is so insidiously established that its com mencement cannot be defined, but more com monly a series of acute attacks of nasal ca tarrh succeed each other, the mucous mem brane being increasingly enfeebled at each successive invasion, a 'permanent state:of chronic rheum is left, which extending into the throat and windpipe, gradually reaches the nir-cells, and from the imperfect ceration of the blood, tubercle is deposited, and thus the foundation of consumption is laid. The fact cannot be too strongly impressed, that whatever impedes the:due access of the air to the blood, will in time so vitiate its qual ity, in particular in fibrin°, that specks of the latter are gradually deposited in the air cells and minute bronchia, and by their growth constitute tubercles, and going through various changes and disintegrating the substance of the lungs constitute that awful malady, consumption. Among the principal causes capable of occasioning this state of things are, catarrh, vitiated air, im proper positions of the body, deprliation of light, nervous exhaustion, and inflamed sur faces of air cells. In this aspect, nasal ca tarrh resolves itself into a question of vast importance, and we shall now proceed to de tail the symptoms. .Actre. Carat - La:lr.—At first, the breathing through the nose is interrupted by the swelling of the lining membrane, which is hot and dry. Then acrid fluid distils from the nostrils, blistering the skin in its pro gress. Cold air or bright light cause sneez ing. The disease in severe cases is not limited to the nostrils, but extend to the eyes, and frontal sinuses, through duets lined with mucous membrane, hence the profuse showers of tears, and the heavy pain over the eyebrows, that are so often present in this disease. The general system sym pathises, and fever is set up, there is pain in the back, and a sense of painful fatigue in the thighs. The discharge from the nose gradually thickens and becomes yellow, los ing its acridity, and as this change pro gresses health gradually returns. Crtntecte Camnan.—From repeated acute attacks in a scrofulous constitution, or from neglect, the mucous membrane of the nose becomes altered in structure, and Chronic Catarrh is established. It may consist in hawking or clearing out the throat of a yel low straw-colored phlegm, (particularly iu the morning) which accumulates behind the soft palate, and on examiningthe throat may often be seen hanging down in festoons or streaks; or small ulcers foram in the nose; which scab over, and arc constantly picked off by the sufferer. Again, false membrane is secreted, which the patient removes from time to time; or the secretion may be puru lent and irritating, and constantly dripping into the throat, excites the various diseases of the throat tiiid lungs, hereafter to be de scribed. - Thdtdcers somelifffes spread down to the bone and prodilang Caries, a very formidable state of things ensues ; character ized by a thin offensive discharge. Chronic Catarrh derives its importance from ite-On dency to spread down the throat to the air tubes and cells, laying the foundation of consumption of which it is often the precur sor, and usually the accompaniment. _ll;enee should it never be neg7ecica. TREATIIENT.—UntiI ithe employment of local remedies, Nasal Catarrh was incura ble, for it is evident that the complaint could not be reached by sending medicines the round of the stomach and circulation in search of the disease. By means of a pecu liar syringe, proper washes are thrown over the affected surface, and as the throat is usually more or less involved, inhalants are indicated. Passing into the lungs, they exert their healing influence on the throat and air tubes, and exhaled through the nose continue their benign influence. I remain, your obedient servant, N. B. WOLFE, M.

A Good Thing Well Applied The scientific discoverer and the scientific inventor are distinctand different characters. It is rarely that he who discovers a great principle applies it successfully and thor oughly. Sometimes, however, this is the Professor Holloway was among the first to broach the theory that disease was the result of the introduction of morbid mat ter into the circulation. But of itself this theory, however true. was useless. It could not subserve any beneficial purpose to point out the leettlit.3 of the band unless the discoverer were provided with an antidote capable of reaching it: Professorllulltway came up to the good work doubly arntdd.-: He had not only traced the symptoms of disease to their genuine cause, but had, af ter long research and innumerable experi ments, produced two remedies which would infallibly reach it. Time, which tries all things, lies tested the value of thoseremedies. What has been the result? During the twenty years they hale been before the world, thousands of medicines, hundredc of new systems of practice have been ushered into existence, enjoyed an ephemeral popu larity, and passed into oblivion. Not so I foLhe Pll LS and OINTMENT. They •stand first on the list of tandem ceratil es. Their reputation is founded on a ruck—the rock of truth—and cannot be shaken.— Scarcely a year ago their inventor came to our shores unheralded. It is true that large quantities of his medicines were consumed in the United States, and that his skill, his enterprise, his success, were often referred to by the American press, but personally he was unknown to us, end the great system of agencies with which he had covered more than half the habitableglobe had not yet been extended to this country. He came hither for the purpose of affording us new facilities for the procurement of his preparations, and the consequence has been an increase of one hundred per cent., in the demand fur them within a few months. It appears, from the statement of all who have taken the Pills' for indigestion, that their effect in cases of dyspepsia is almost beyond belief. As this complaint has with some truth been called the national disease of America, a specific that never fails to remove it is of course in valuable. The public, on both sides of the Atlantic ; had been so often victimised by medical charlatans during the last fifty years, that it received with something of distrust the first rumors of the efficacy of HoLtow.tr's reme dies. But every day furnished new proofs of the fact, and at last such was the over whelming weight of evidence in their favor, that it became more absurd to doubt than to believe. They grew in celebrity, and the demand for them increased with a rapidity unexampled in the annals of medical science; nor has their fame or that of their inventor yet attained its culminatingpoint. Itnever will reach that point, for culmination pre supposes cessation of progress: 'and so long as humanity is subject to pain, fever, injur ies and death, Holloway's Pills and Oint ment must continue tomaintain - their proud pre-cruinence.—N.
