A JUDGE'S MUSTARD BATH. .Tyo or three days ago, a 'young friend who had recently been spending some lime a -Georgia related to us an Anecdote, which etowa how thoroughly scared the people of, the interior of Georgia were during-the prevalence, of yellow fever in Savannah. '"" ' . It seemed that Judge R- , of the Su preme Court of that State,,was up in the tountry at the same time, but twenty hours' Vun by rail of the terrible disease. Quite Suddenly, late one afternoon, he was seized with headache, pains in his back and limbs, & c. Having heard lhat these were the salutations Yellow Jack - extended to hia victims oo approaching them, the Judge In great consternation, applied to a friend who was posted' for advice. A hot must--arilbuih was urgently advised, and being prepared, the Judge was soon laving him self with the irritating fluid.. Presently he felt better, and finding a cake of soap in the vessel of water, he began to apply it freely upon his person. After quite a pleasant exercise in this way, he-looked down on hia body and discovered that he was turning bUuk ! Oh, horrors ! HU friend was hurriedly sent for, came, and declared that the symptom was " intensely expressive of yellow fever. Bert,' said the Judge, shivering the while. feel 'no pain ; I feel well !'4 'So much the wore j the absence of pain is a marked symptom;' 'Good Heavens V the Judge .ejaculated, what shall I do ?' - - 'The only hope, is in the mustard, rub away !' was all the consolation his friend could give. - And rub he did with a. will. He used the soap to open every possible pore, and after some minutes sent for a candle (for the twilight wa3 fading,) to , ascertain hu exact cuticular Condition. On examina tion, he was as black as a crew, and the soap, which a careless servant had drop ped into the tub was discovered to be some body's ll'atcnt Paste Blacking.' We only add that the Judge survived. Montgomery Mail. HORRIBLE AFFAIR. The New Haven Journal and Courier of the 30th of. April, gives the following par ticulars of the attempt of Willard Clark to murder Richard Wight, at New Haven, Conn , on "Saturday night last, a notice of which we have already published : About 7 o'clock on Saturday evening, Willard Clark, grocer, doing business on the corner of York and George streets, en tered the house of iMr." John Bogart, No. 18 West Chapel stret t, which he had been , accustomed to do, at intervals, for a num ber of yoars past. He went into the kitch en and there found Mr. and "Mrs. Richard , Wight, the son-in-law and daughter of Mr. , Bogart, who, seeming to be somewhat an noyed by the presence of Clark, left the kitchen and passed into the parlor, Clark follai-ed them into the parlor and advan cing to the side of Mr. Wight, presented a pistol to his head, and discharged it within few inches of his ear. The ball entered the head of Mr. W. directly back of the right ear, and passing through the brain lodged in the cranium at the back side of the head. He fell upon the floor, giving a , few terrible groans, which were distinctly heard by persons passing the - house, who immediately entered to the assistance of the family.. Claik" looked upon the scene of blood for a moment, and then quietly walked out of the house. - , ' . . ' The alarm of muider spread with aston ishing rapidity through the neighborhood. 'Officer Lee Dunning was immediately des patched in search of the murderer. - He proceeded to the store of Clark, where he . found him. very . quietly engaged in his usual occupation. He asked Clark what he had been doing, to which he replied, "I don't know." He then told him that he ; must go along; with him, to jail; to which Clark replied, "Well, I suppose I must." Clark took outa sum of money from his pocket, and very coolly handed it" to his . partner, and gave him directions concern ing the disposition he must make of it, and gave orders in regard to the payment of some debts, and he then told officer Dun- ning that he was ready to go. He was safely lodged in jail, and offered no.resistance while on hia way thither, and seemed as cool and as deliberate as he ev er did in business transactions. Drs. Kuisht, I'underson, Blakeslee . and K Hubbard were called in, but could render no medical or surgical aid, as it was belie ved he could survive but a short time. He was placed upon a cot, where he lay with out any apparent motion, occasionally groaning audibly. A pari of the brain protruded through the aperture made in the head, and the appearance of the wound in dicated that the ball in passing through the brain look a direct course from right to left. - . ; - -. The whole cause of this terrible trage dy $eem to be the jealously Clark enter tained for Mr. Wight, who had married . Miss Bogart against the wishes of Clark. For several years past Clark had sought the hand of Miss Bogart in marriage, and had been repulsed by her, and finally she dismissed him about a year since. : -. Miss Bogart formed the acquaintance of Mr. Wight, to whom she became attached, and oa the 12th day of last March they were united in marriage.- At the time she married Mr -Wright the lady was but 17 years of age. The family are highly res pcctable, and the. sa4 news of such a de liberate attempt to. murder has created the , greatest excitement in the city. ' ' ; . - A despatch, . dattd -.New ; Haven,!

Among the odd fish who were caught by thewatchmen in casting their, nets' lately in London, was a Hibernian wag, rather advanced in years, of very seedy exterior, but possessing all the dry good humor, and joke-cracking dis position of ;his whiskey-loving country. . On- being put to the bar, the watchman waS called on to state his charge, and this was- done in very few words. In fact, Mr. Butler the detunu, w as found dead drunk, under the piazzas of Covent- Garden, at 2 o'clock in the morning. ; - ; - Well, said Sir Richard, how do you ac count for your disorderly conduct. ' . Mr., B. (with a grin) O ! Fait hy Sir Richard, I never was much of an account--ant, and if I was myself, when I was dead drunk as the watchman says, what I'd be saying, wouldn't do me much good, for dead men tell no tales.' . - - . Sir R -What brought you in such a state t ' - , . ' Mr. B. I suppose I brought myself that way by drinking liquor. Sir R. It would have been well if you had taken yourself home to bed. Mr. B You're right, it would have been well, but there , was two reasons against that first I was blind drunk a3 well as dead drunk, and so I couldn't see my way; and next, if my eyes were as good as your Worship's, I couldn't have seen what I haven't got, which is a bed. . " Sir R.; Have you no lodgings? . Mr. B. Divil a lodgings, except in the words of the owld song, ' On the cowld ground.'. - Sir R What are you 1 Mr. B. Faith I'm a prisoner, I believe. Sir R. I mean how do you get your living ? . Mr. B. Through the blessings of Prov idence. . - ' . . Sir R.' Have you a trade 1 Mr B. Is it me ? the divil a trade. . Sir RJ Were you brought up to no bu siness? . " - Mr. B. No, by my soul, I was tenderly, rared, and my education was my only pat rimony, f Sir R. That sort of money doesn't go far with a man of your inclinations. . Mr. B (wih a laugh) You're right again; all the. learning in the world is of no use at the bar I mean at the bar of a public house unless you back it with the circulating medium. Sir R. I'm afraid you have been circu lating your earnings through a very im proper medium. Mr. B Divil a truer word you ever spoke in your life.- . Sir R. If 1 let you go now, you'll set off, and get drunk again ? Mr. B. I'll go bail I won't, fori haven't a rap irthe world; and as for my credit, its like my coat worn out. Sir R. I am half disposed to try you. Mr. B. Not for tippling, I hope, your Worship; for if you do I'm sure to be found guilty. . Sir IL You seem to be a good humor ed fellow. Mr B. There's a pair of us, your Wor ship. - Sir R. laughed, and told Mr." B.- to go about his business and mend his ways. Mr. B. Before I go, 111 ask you one favor. ? . " ; Sir R Well, what is it? Mr. B. Just to give me a bit of a note to your countryman, M'Adam, and as I des pair of mending my own ways, perhaps he'll give me a job in mending the w ays of others. "... Sir R again laughed and bid him go out and wait, and he'd endeavor to put him in the highway to industry. " Mr. B. shrugged up hia shoulders with good humor, and pulling up his meniables, trotted out of the office. The worthy mag istrate ; sabsequently gave him a letter, which would probably procure bina present occupation. - MULLETS.

Mnny troubled with ringing' in the ears and head hen asleep, ereal nervouensss, being alarmed si sudden sounds, and bashfuiness, with freaoent blushing. attended sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured immediately. , A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure finds he has imbtbtd the seeds of , his painful disease, it too often happens that anill-tim- cd sense ol Miame, or dread ot discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from education and respectability, can alone befriend him, delay ing tin tne constitutional eyemptomsol this horrid disease make their appearance." such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural pains in the head and limbs, dimness of eiht, deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches on the head, face and extremities, progress on with frightful ra pidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall in. and the victinr of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commit seraiion,tilt death puts a period to his dreadful suf ferings, by sending him to "that bourne Iroin whence no traveller returns." To such therefo-e, Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most inviolable sccrefy; and, from his extensive prac tice in the firtt Hoepitalsin Europe and America, hecan confidently recommend a safe and speedy cure tothe unfortunate victim of this horrid dis ease. It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to this dreadful disease, owing to the un skiifulnees ol ignorant pretendcts, who, by the use of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the constitu tion, and either send the unfortunate sufierer to an untimely grave, or else make the residue of life mis erable. . ' . . TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured them selves by private and improperindulgenccs.

" Young men who have Injured themselves by a certain practice indulged in when alone a habit friqueniiy learned from evil companions, or at school, the effects of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage impossible, nr.d destroys both mind and body. What a pity that a young man, the hope of his country, and the darling of his parents, should be snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of life, by the consequences ol deviating from the path ot nature, and indulging in a certain secret habit. S uch persons, before contemplating , MARX.1AGE, Should reflect that a sound mind and body are the mon necessary requisites to promote connubial happiness. Iudecd, without these, tho journey through life becomes a wear, pilgrimage; the pros pect hourly darkens to the view; the mind becomes shadowed with despair and filled with the melan choly reflection that the happiness of another be comes blighted with our own.
