Old Shak spearo was wise when he wrote "there is a tide in the aftairs of men which if taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." We were struck w ith the aptness of this quotation last evening, during the fire which occurred in our surburbs. It was a small fire, only two frame buildings, and hardly illuminated the darkness of the night more than the artificial con flagration induced by the Babcock Fire Extinguisher Agents some few weeks ago, when they wished to exhibit tne extinguishing qualities of their machine. The thing worked admirably on that oecasion, and demonstrated the asser tions made in its favor. But, you know, such experimental examples of the util ity of such machines carries little weight with the majoiltyof people. A " real practical test is what is demanded, and no more opportune occasion could occur to test its meirits than on Monday eve ning. We charge nothing for our suggestions to these Agent?. It strikes us, however, if , we had been Agents, we should have thanked fortune lor such an opportu nity ; would have been on the alert for an alarm, and when the fire bell rang, instead of lazily turning in bed and wondering where the fire wa3 raging, should have hauled on our unmen tionables, and repaired to the scene of fire. It the machine will do all its Agents profess, and we candidly confess we believe it, before a single one of our ponderous and Blow-moving machines had arrived on the ground, had we been Agents, and anxious to sell, the fire would have been extinguished, a laree amount of property would have been saved, and the praise of the Extin guisher would have been in every mouth. This would have capped the climax, convinced the most unbelieving and not a merchant or property owner in this city would have rested easily in in his bed at night until he had pur Chased a machine.

The total amount of claims sgainst the county audited by the County Com missioners from Feb. 1st, 1872, to Feb 1st, 1873, was $29,405.56. We received yesterday from our friend Tommy Harrison, a bottle of fine four year old Nectar whiskey, ior which he will accept our thanks.

Ciicuit - Court, now in session in this city, that Attorney-General Hargrove, on the part of the State, and in obedience to a reso lution passed by the present General Assembly at its last Bession, made a mo tion that the Court dismiss this case for want of jurisdiction, in order that it be remanded to the State Courts. The . Court sustained the motion, and an ap peal on the part ot the defendant was taken to the United States .Supreme Lourt. The historv of DunlaD's case has been published too frequtntjy for the public not to be thoroughly conversant wuu u, ana tnereiore it need not be re peated here. ' . s ' Hydrophobia. As the mad doj question is still a topic of discussion in this city, we give the following trom the British Medical Journal which calls attention to the mensure, recommended by the Council of Hygiene ad Bor deaux, tor the better protection of peo ple against the danger ot hydropno- bia. It is well known that the mad ness of dogs has a period which is pre monitory and harmless. If these pe riods were generally known, the dogs could be put out of the way belore they became dangerous. On this subject the council of llvgiene has issued the fol lowing instructions : A short time, sometimes two days, alter madness has seized a dog, it creates symptoms in the animal which it is in dispensable to recognize. "1. 1 here is agitation and restlessness. and the dog turns himself continually In his kennel. If he be at lihry, goea and comes, and seems m be seeking sometmng; men ue remains uiuuuuicaa, as if waiting ; then starts, bite3 the air, as if he would catch a fly, and dashes himself, howling and barking, against the wall. The voice of hfs master dis sipates these hallucinations; the dog obeys, but slowly, with hesitation, as if with regret. "2. He does not try to bite, he is gen tle, even affectionate, and he eats and drinks, but gnaws his litter, the ends of curtains, the padding of cushions, the coverlids ot the beds, carpets, &c. '3. By the movement ot his paws about the sides of his open month, one mierht think be was trvins to tree his throat cf a bone. , M4.

It is best to to chain him up at once, or better still to kill him. The Boston Medical and SurqiculJonrnal suggests that this ad vice be inserted at least once a year in the public papers. It would seem par ticularly desirable and practicable Hi at these rules should be ; printed on the back of the notices and recei pts lor dog taxes. These excellent measures ; ought to be generally adopted. the lane strikes . . . ! nine " that was doing it, it souncied just as if a cptard pudding had fa len out a third jstory window on to -the pavement. 1 heard afterwards they are engaged.

The State House is gorgeous. It is modelled after the Parthenon at Athens. They used to have, another one, but in 1831 it was destroyed by fire. It contained a fine statue of jGeorge W., by Canova, wnicn not, Deing nre proov was -destroyed too. This shows what great ness amounts to. A wooden statue -of George Washington would burn up just as quick as a wooden cigar store Indian. M If .you will read my letters you must learn something and you have learned She produces piles of tar and chewing gum.- It is the stickiest place in crea tion, and I believe the whole State is made out of black gum mucilage. I saw a dog that sat down in 1806 to scratch his ear and bark ; he is there now ; he couldn't get up without pulling up gronnd enough to leave a well. So he stavs there, aud the bark can be seen yet on the tree directly in front of him. I here are lots ot pine trees, but pine apples are scarce!, j In the country they never use saddles. ; They just put half an ounce of tar on the horse's back, and thay can't slip off. i ' ' ' A saw a ur.iuio v Miti uaj , It was so touchihkr I touched it.

Says he: Dull as thunder. There ain't any, and I really believe that if George Washington wa3 alive, and had to sell goods on the road, he'd hive to lie or give it up.

But what are tators at the nre last night, and wit nessed the remarkable tenacity with which three mea of the Bucket; Compa ny stuck to their post in the intense heat reflected from the building they were endeavoring to save, as well as from the fire in front, and the untiring energy and ingenuity displayed by them in catching the water thrown upon the roof in a pool and returning it over and over against the house. ' ' I ' We think their conduct deserves some thing more than emDtv maise. and therefore without disparagement or re flection upon the heroism of many others we hereby subscribe the sum of $3 each and request that enough citizens will join us to make a compensation of $5 for each of the three above mentioned.

Washington, June 17. The report of MacKenzie's exploit iuto Mexico bears the following endorsement from Sheridan : " I take pleasure, in heartily approving the conduct of Col MscKen zie as an gallant act. The only course for security of life and property on one side ot the Rio Grande, is to do as Col. MacKenzio has done. I do uot believe Jthat any boundary should exist between the United States and Mexico when we are defending the lives of our citizens, and protecting their property against a merciless band, to whom the name of murderer, robber or thief applies as covering their deeds. The gallant act of - Col. MacKenzie is best recorded in his plain narrative of the event. I can only add that the Government biight to stand by MacKenzie." The report and Sheridan's endorsement were forwarded f o Gen. Sherman, and the latter endorsed it as follows : uThe conduct of Colonel Mackenzie is fully approved If the attack was made on Mexican soil, as the report does not indicate, it is clearly the duty of the Mexican Government to complain. Until then the War Depart ment has no official knowledge that such is the fact, and need not take any a'ction. It is my opinion that when the band of freebooters, murderers, robbers and out laws make a recognized boundary line between the nations at peace a safeguard for their crimes, there jean be no just cause for dissension it the lawful forces of either nation pursue 4hom tor the purpose of capturing or ending their deeds of violence." , A New Phase m Slavery in the North: New York, June 17.

On his previous exploration Mrs. nail always confidently looked for his safe return, but on his last' voyage she had a presentment that ho would never come back. .. The Evening Star says the following statement may be relied on as strictly true: Captain Hall himself was san guine, not only of accomplishing glo rious results in behalf of science and of reaching the North Pole, but seemed to be confident of a safe return. He was especially pleased with the selection of Captain Buddington as his sailing mas ter in 18G0, twelve years before, and he seemed to have great confidence in his ability and experience as a seaman, es pecially in the northern latitudes. He had manuscript sufficient to make several large volumes, and he told his friends that when he returned he inten ded to settle down and devote several years to the careful preparation for pub lication of the data he had obtained in his various polar expeditions. It may be mentioned as a matter of rumor, that while" Captain Hall was pleased with the selection of Buddington, he disliked Tyson the mote, but it does not appear if such was the case that he ever formally protested bis occupying an of ficial position on the Polari3.
