Woodward,Kt.D. * OBITUARY* KENNEDY—At Harrisburg on Tuesday, March • Sth mst., Dr. Stewart Kennedy, oftheU.S. Navy, in the 31st year of his age. Dr. Kennedy graduated with distinction at the Jefferson : Medical College of this city, in 1554; commenced the practice of hie profession at Eas ton, his native town, soon after, and in the follow ing spring was, after a rigid examination, ap pointed as Assistant Surgeon in the Navy. While waiting to be assigned to duty he made a voyage as surgeon of a merchant vessel. When he returned the yellow fever was decimating the city of Nor folk and exsiting the sympathy of the whole Union :{or its afflicted citizens. Prompted alike by the laudable ambition to gain experience in his profes sion and the impulses of an unselfish and generous heart, he at once volunteered his services and has tened to the infected city on his mission of noble and disinterested humanity. He remained until the pestilence subsided and was only saved by a sound and vigorous constitution from falling a vic tim to it himself. We call him a hero who, with firm step and equal pulse, storms the breach or lieads the desperate cnarge; but not less, but much more, hero he who braves the terrors of the pesti lence, that terrible, because unseen and resistless, ffoe. At the breaking out oi the rebellion Dr. Ken nedy was on duty on board the Preble at the time ©i Hollins’s attack on the Federal blockading sqadron. He was afterwards ordered to report lor duty at New York, but was allowed to join Com modore Farragut. Embarking in an open boat he •joined the flagship the day before the terrific con vict between the fleet and the Forts St. Philip and Jackson. Here, in a conflict almost unparalleled jn. naval history, with shell crashing around, and the ship'twice on fire, he coolly, skilfally and un dauntedly did his duty, and obtained tue special commendation of the Admiral. In the summer of 1862 Dr. Kennedy had charge of the Naval Hospi tal in New York, a situation of great responsibility tand showing the high estimate of his professional skill and efficiency entertained by his superiors, yond of active service he applied for orders, and Was ordered to the Ticonderoga. This vessel hav ing returned to the port of Philadelphia from the pursuit of the Chesapeake, Dr. Kennedy was at tacked by a very severe illness, which confined Slim to his bed for several weeks. He left the city before he had entirely regained his strength, on a visit to beloved relatives in Chambersburg. In Harrisburg, on Monday, the 7th instant, he was seized with a congestive chill, irom which medical skill and devoted friendship in vain strove to rally him. Thus he, whom the invisible, mysterious pestilence forbore to smite, who passed unscathed through the feu d'enfer at New Orleans, by His providence who “doeth all things well,” come to die upon his native soil as upon a mother’s lap. lived and died, alas! too soon died, a cheer ful, agreeable companion; a warm, unselflshfriend: devoted, affectionate brother: a skillful sur 4geen; a noble, gallant officer and gentleman.

Medical tcg&tment and medl THE SAL ABIES OF OUB JUDGES. To the Editor if the Ei'ening Bulletin: It is gratify ing to find that tbe legislature is turning its atten tion *o ecme of tbe real wants of tbe State. Penn sylvania has for years been favored with as able a Judiciary as any other Commonwealth; but the compensation of tbe Judgps of tbe Oourts has al ways been inadequate. This is particularly true of the courts is this city. The judges of ocr courts are not only men of unimpeachable integ rity, but they are eminently learned in'the law, and perform an almost incredible amount cf labor. Tbere are at least six thousand suits a year brought in the District Court alone, and these suits are to be disposed .of, on motion or by trial, by these judges. 1 he Com t of Common Pleas takes charge of all the Orphans’ Conn business, all the criminal bn siness, a large share of the equity business, and tries by jury some five hundred civil causes a year. The labor performed by the judges of thie court is certainly three times as great as it was sixteen or eighteen years since, when there were four in* stead of three judges on the bench. In 1531 the salary of the Judges of the District Court and Court of Common Pleas was fixed at twenty-five hundred dollars; at the present tune it is less than three thousand. "Within the last few years the price of all the necessaries of life has ad vanced at least thirty per cent. Labor of every kind has rapidly advanced, in some instances by the generous offer of employers and in others bv the imperative demand of employes. Professional men have increased their charges for professional service, but the Judges of oar OourtsMncapable of speaking for themselves on this subject, have been left to work on at actually less than a living com pensation., There is a biil now before the House of Representatives to increase the salary of the Judges to four thousand dollars, and there is not a citizen in the county whose opinion is worth re garding, who will not heartily rejoice to learn that this act of tardy justice is speedily consummated. L. W. r „ LATEB. FBOM MEXICO. [Correspondence of the New York Tribane. ] wAemsGTOK, March 2l, l«U._The Mexicans are exultant to.night. Despatches r?eeived*here from Saltillo np to Feb. 2, show that the. reports circulated by the French about a war between Got. Vidaurrl of New-Leon and the Mexican Government are fabricated. Vidaurri, with two other Governors, merely suggested to the President that be had better resign. Be infused to do 1 so. They then withdrew their request, and loyally promised to support him. with the force* Oi their respective Slates. The French had made no advances .in the last month. On the contrary, they had fallen into deep troubles with the clergy. Gen. Bazaine was at Guadalajara; but he will be obliged to return to the City of Mexico to settle this clerical difficulty, which it was thought, would require the exile of some of the Bishops. Uraga, Ooinmauder-in- Chief of the Mexican army, was about to attack Gnadalajara, with 10,000 men. Gen. Diez was on the eve of attacking Orizaba with 8,000 men on the road from Vera Cruz to Mexico. The general tenor of the news is very encouraging to the Mex ican* here. The hostility ol the people to French intervention is unabated. They will hunt Max imilian out of the country if he ever comes. mv w , PERSONAL. The London J/uiical IFoWd says of the late Ste phen C. Fo&ter: “His loss will be equally la mented in England, where his songs were more successful than those of any other composer during the last ten >ears.” Cm Monday Provost Marshal Moore arrested in Wheeling a girl dressed-in .soldier’a uniform. She admitted her sex, and stated that ehe was a mem ber of Company D, West Virginia Regiment, and only 17 years of age. She has a brother in the company, and most of the members were aware of her sex. Hon. Ezekiel Mowrey, of Meshoppen, Wy oming county, Pa., met his death under the following circumstances: He was engaged in his plaster mill grinding corn, and while working about the cracker, hi& coat caught by the button hole, on a screw that held the coupling of the shaft together, jnst above the cracker, and before he was aware of his situation had wound so closely up that he could not extricate himself. In this post tion he remained until hi* knit coat, a thick flan nel and a cotton shirt, and hi* vest, were torn inio shreds, and he was only liberated when his body had been forced through a space often Inches be tween the turning shaft and & post. From this he fell into the hopper and then to the floor, where he lay about an hour before he was discovered. He died in a few minutes. He represented Wyoming county in the Legislature in 1849 and 1850. • Says the Harrisburg Telegraph: Several funerals, eome'ol them largely attended, took place in this city yesterday. This alternoon th« remains of two well-known and highly esteemed citizens, Richard Hogan, Sr. and Robert McElwee, will be con signed to their last resting place in Mount KaJmn. cemetery. t A Female Vampire. —There is ayoung married woman in the city, a native ot the Canton ol Berne, Switzerland, who is afflicted with a disease which she calls *‘a dancing of the heart, ’ ’ and which the physicians pronounce incurable. The lady with the “dancing heart” firmly believes that she can he cured by drinking a few drops of the blood of a man who has been executed. Her name is Elizabeth Mund, and she is twenty three years of age, and has been- the mother of three children, none of whom survive. She has made numerous applications at the jail to inquire when there would be an execution, and as. there has been no case of capital punishment at that in stitution for several months, her desire for human blood has not been gratified. She heard that John Abshire, sentenced by court-martial to be hung by the neck, was to be executed in the jail-yard on .the 18th (yesterday) as it was stated in the papers. The execution of the sentence, however, was bus pended, and on being informed that the man was not to be hung, Mrs. Mund appeared to be gTeatly disappointed and chagrined. Captain Bishop cheered her drooping spirits, however, by telling her that on the fifteenth of April a man would be* hung by the neck until he was “dead, dead, dead, * ’ and that she might then appear and obtain a dose of the blood ol Valentine Hansen, the mur derer, provided Governor Hall did not pardon or respite the criminal, and the physiciad would al low her to extract the curative fluid. With this, pleasing assurance, Mrs. Mund took her depart ure, greatly consoled. This is a curious case of modem superstitution.— St. Louis Democrat, 19.
