Merrimon thought he could force the

against them, but the commission ve
ry coolly, allowed., him to bid.; it off.
The counsel for Messrs. Norris and
Son found he had an elephant on hia
hands jnd was very glad 'to compro
mise with the commission on their
own terms. His debt was some $J0.
000, and had Mr.y Merrimon allowed
the commission to bid off the road he
would have received $21,M) cash. As
it is, he had to compromise on four
teen bonds of $1,000 each for his debt,
and when we recollect the, bonds are
worth only 70 cents on the dollar, the
fourteen . thousand grows beautifully
less. Our distinguished Senator by
this transaction has lost somewhat of

but then a good many papers manag

tiaVe no hesitation in reproducing and
rohdorsing the following from the Au

''There were many-jincjdents at the
Bunker Hill Centeinial which can
not but eratifv the heartiTof the pa-
kriotic every where ;' but there were
other slants ana sounds not so agrFe
ablb as they might .have been. For
instance, what a monstrous perver
sion of the htness ot. things , was it
when, heading the tnilitaryneolumn,
rode Major' Gen Beast Butler. We
read in the Northern journals that the
America Hayjmu was in a41 this glo
ry ; thattte rode spirited icbargrer
and was as full of decorations and in
signia as a Comanche chief is brave
with war-paint and eagle feathers. We
learn, too, that he was tumultuous
Jy applauded."- Of course, as 5 com
mander of the Massachusetts militia,
this swashbuckler, bravo, woman
insulter, pretty tvrant, military fraud
and Force Bill chaniDion had to be1 a
conspicuous figure in the picture ; but
we would have been glad, lor the per

MUZZLE THE CANINES !
Of all deaths the most horrible is
that by hydrophobia ; yet very little
precaution is ever taken against it.
One rapid dog could ' in one night
rmoculate every dog in the city and
and child in twenty -four hours whether
wa3 ra uch of a day for -biting or not.
Listen what the Baltimore Sun Has to
say about it;
The New York papers record death
from hydrophobia, attributed to a
bite which the victim received two
months ago. The sufferings of the
dying man are said to have been horr
rible beyond description. Hydropho
bia is a disease not limited to seasons,
though it seems tube m3t frequent
in summer. It appears to arise most
frequently from thirst, attacking the
vagrant dogs who run the streets.
Tl.ese dogs are generally uumuzz'ed,
and as the hottest tlavs nt the year are
approaching it u time measHrt's were
taken in all cities to curb their rapaci
ty 'or niiscluel. l hemayor of Balti
more has duly issued his notification
on the subject, requiring the muzzling
of all dog going at large in the city,
the owner to procure a numbered
license for each dog at a cost of $2.50,
ajid.$10 for each bitch ; otherwise dogs
going at large will be killed.

People are apt to speak of this or
that man as a millionaire ; but in
truth the men who are really worth a
million dollars apiece in these days of
declining values, are not very numer
ous. The best information is to the
effect that there are forty in the State
of New York, t.wenty-one . in Massa
chusetts, six in Ohio, two in Illinois,
one in Indiana a Dr. Pauw, of New
Albany: five in- Missouri, seven in

an Architect, he knows just what .is neces
sary, lor a mechanic to get along with, and
with this experience you will at onceeee
that he has a pretty good knowledge of the
business.! (You can judge tor yourseii as to
whether a man is an Architect without be
ing a practical builder. Some in'this State

knowledge of the business and can only be
called draftsmen and need some-one to in
struct them at all times should they under

residences here.,
He refers to all who have employed him
as Architect and Superintendent, as- to his
ability. He can furnish, if any desire them,

any other man of his age, and will take
pleasure in doing so, Any person visiting

APPLETON'S
AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA,
NEW REVISED EDITION.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new type, and illustra
ted with Several Thousand Engravings and
Maps.
The work originally published uoder the title
of The New American Cyclopaedia was com
pleted in 1863, since which time the wide circu
lation which it has attained in all parts of the
United States, and the signal developments
which have taken place in every branch of
science, literature, and art. have induced the
editors and publishers to submit it to an exact
and thorough revision, and to issue a new edition
entitled The American Cyclopaedia.
Within the last ten years the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge has
made a new work of reference an imperative
want.
The movement of political affairs lias kept
pace with the discoveries of science, and their
fruitful application to the industrial and useful
arts and the convenience and refinement of
social life. Great wars and consequent revolu
tions have occurred, involving national changes
of peculiar moment, The civil war of our own
country, which was at its height when the last
volume of the old work appeared, has happily
been ended, and a new course of commercial and
industrial activity has commenced.
Large accessions to our geograph ical knowl
edge have been made by the inde at"able ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions oi the last de
cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time
have brought into public view a multitude of
new men, whose names are in every one's
mouth, and of whose lives everv one is curious
to know the particulars. Great battles have.
been fought and important sieges maintained, of
which the details are as yet preserved only in
the newspapers or in the transient publications
of the day, but which ought now to take their
place in permanent and authentic history.
In preparing the present edition for the press,
it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the
most recent discoveries in science, of every
fresh production in literature, and of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources for carrying it onto a successful ter
mination. None of the original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been printed on
new type, forming in fact a new Cyclopaedia,
with the same plan and compass as its predeces
sor, but with a far greater pecuniary expendi
ture, and with a such improvements in its com
position as have been suggested by longer ex
perience and enlarge knowledge.
Xhe illustrations which are introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been ad
ded not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to
give greater lucidity and force to the explana
tions in the text. They embrace all branches of
science and of natural history, and depict the
most famous and remarkable features of scenery
architecture, and art, as welLas the various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures. Al
though intended for instruction rather than em
bellishment, no pains have been spared to insure
their artistic excellence ; the cost of their execu
tion is enormous, and it is believed 'they: will
find a welcome reception as an admirable fea
ture of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its high
character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be complet
ed ia sixteen large octavo volumes, each con
taining about 00 pages, fully illustrated with
several thousand Wood, Engravings, and with
numerous colored Lithographic Maps.
