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.

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

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.

The London J/uiical IFoWd says of the late Ste

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. •

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.

that it was so officially communicatedto our Home.
