MELANCHOLY EFFECT OT TOPUIAII EXCITE
M ENT.
The following anecdote may be relied
on as a simple narrat ve ot facts, which ac
tually occurred within the recollection ot
thousands.
In the year 1810 or 1811, Mr. Blount
being governor of North Carolina,
Mi Hedge of Georgia, and Mr. Drayton of
South Carolina, tlie ’ wo latter states were
thrown into great alarm by a letter trans
milled from Governor Blount td Ooveinor
Mi I ledge, and by (be latter despatched by
express to Governor Drayton. Theny.li
tU of the two slates,‘in the counties adja
cent to Augusta, were ordered to be held
in readiness for action, en masse, & guards
and pa’.roles to scour tlie country Ihe
siiffei ings us the inhabitants particularly
the females, from apprehensions p intnlly
exei'ed, induced a gentlLman of this city,
then a resident near Augusta, In call on
the governor, then resiling near
place, and requested a sight of the let
ter At the fiis glance ol the eye, he
pronounced it a hoax : lor it bote date on
the l»t JlpHl, and hud been picked ui> m
one of die country towns in North Caron
na, where it had in.fact been dropped by
some thoughtless schoolboy On the fact
of it also it bore such evidence ol its ori
gin, as must have struck any observer
whose vision was not distorted by aiami
F ,r it was dated Angus a, signed •- Your
loving brother Captain Jack,” and pur
ported to be directed to an associate, in
Lewisville, North Carolina. But it was m
vain that these suggestions were made —
The governor ot Georgia could not broo
the mortifying discovery of his having
been duped, and the whole country, on
the designated night Was kept in aguate
motion. ..
Happy bad it terminated in nothing
more than the suffering and disturbance
communicated to tha people ot both
states, and the useless expenditure ot
some thousands of public money. But
another hoax gave it a most tragical ter
mination.
The trumpeter of the Augusta Cava'ry
resided in the opposite district ot Edge
field, and ordeis had been issued to him t.i
attend the company that night. B v some
accident these orders did not reach him in.
time to make Augusta that evening, and
lie halted at Moore’s mills, oti Chever’s
creek, in South Carolina. Here he and a
companion were shown into a garret,
where they were amusing themselves
over their pint of whiskey, when the con
tinual passing ami repassing of the mourn
ed militia diew their attention, and tlie
halt intoxicated bugleman resolved to try
tne effect of a o.asl of his music upon the
fears of a party just gone by. The effect
was electrical; it was deemed tlie expect
ed signal; the detachments galloped off
in all directions in quest of the offender,
and towards morning returned with a sin
gle p or half-witted mgro, who had been
taken crossing a field on his way home,
without instrument of war or of music;,—

inst-jn death from a sabre, which a horse
man was in the act of sharpening beside
him.
He now recollected that a man named
Billy, oelooking to C-.ptain Key, had one
of those long tubes which boatmen use on
our rivers, and declared that he had sound
ed Hie horn, and done it at Hie command
of Cap.ai.i Key’s mm ; but still denied ail
sort of combination, and affirmed the inno
cence of tlie act.
An armed force was Immediately de
tached to the house of Buly, and there
found him quietly steeping in the midst of
a large family, in a degree of comfort very
unusual for a slave—for Billy was a black
mith, a fellow of uncommon worth, and
Indulged in such privileges by his master,
as his oddity justly merited.
But in one corner of his house, exposed
to the view of every one, was found tlie
terrific horn, and he was hurried away to
be tried for his life. The court of magii.
trates and freeholders was selected from
me t of the fi.st respectability in the neigh
borhood ; and yet it is a fact, although no
evidence was given whatever as to a mo
tive for sounding the boro, and the horn
was actually found covered, and even fil'-
ed with cobwebs, they condemned that
man to tlie the next day I—and. what will
scarcely be believed, they actually receiv
ed evidence ol bis having been once charg
ed with stealing a pig, to substantiate the
charge upon which he then stood on trial.
Respectable bystanders have declared, that
his guiK of innocence as to the pig, soon
took toe lead of every other question on
the trial. The owner, one of the worthi
est men in all that country, thunderstruck
at the sentence, entreated a more deliber
ate hearing; but not-being listened to,
hastened aw ay to his friends and am >ng
them a judicial character in the neigtiour
hood, to unite their entreaties with his.— i
They promptly attended to liis solicita
tions, procured a meeting of the court, *
sid earnestly pressed the injustice and
precipitation of the sente ice, and their i
right to time to solicit a pardon, but in i
vain. The presiding magistrate actually
conceived lu dignity attacked,and threat
ened impeachment against the judge, <
who, as an individual, bad interfered upon
tlie witness, retracting all he had testifi- i
ed to. |
Bdly was hung amidst crowds of exe- <
crating spectators:—and such appeared i
to be the popular demand for a victim, I
that it is not certain a pardon could have t
saved him. ,

Uotu to tell a Horse' * Age by his Teeth, t
The following article is copied from a I
valuable work, completed, and lately pub- I
lished by Mr. I. Foster, of Winchester, Va. i
under fbe idle of * The Domestic Am
mads Friend, or the complete Virginia I
and'Mary land Farrier-’ i
• A horse that has arrived at an age fit
for service, ought to have 40 teem, 24 <
grinders, 12 lore teeth, and 4 ,usks.— i
Mares, however, have but 36, except wuen I
they happen to have tusks, which is by no .
means common. .
■ It is by the foreteeth and tusks that
the age of a horse is to be judged of, and \
as tbey’are not generally put to service, i
until they come 3 years old, (and indec : t
that is one year 100 soon) we snail com- i
mence our description of the teeth at tuai |
age.
.
*At three, therefore, he will have so n
horse and eight colt teeth, which are ca n
ed pincers, having a deep black hole’ e
the middle; while those of the coil a n
round, solid and white. I r
■ A short time before the horse crij r
fonryears old, he loses four middle to‘f
two above anil two below, which a'dl* r
lowed by four more horse teeth with hj* c
holes iri the middle, the same as the i
cei s. , [ 1
‘ A few months before he comes fiv),ie |
sheds the four corner teeth, 2 above :ld '
2 below, which are the last colt’s teen ; 1
and at five they aie replaced with luAe,
teeli, hollow us before described.,im'l <

ly three or four months before He
< Some horses, however, neve’ have any
upper tusks, but this is not contnon. Ihe
appearance of the iwo lower "usks is the
most certain proof that thahotse is coming
five years old ; even if some of his colt’s
teeth still remain. I <
‘ Whenlhe is nearly six, all lis fore teeth
are full grown, pointed, and r little con
cave on me. inside. At six, he grooves
on the made begin to fill op, ibd soon af
'er disappear ; the black holes n the mid
dle of till teeth also begin to ill up, hoi
are still vWy apparent.
‘ At seten, ad the fore tedh except
the cornel ones, are generally filled tip
smooth, though a black spot in the cen
tre may yd; appear Between 7 and 8,
the corner teeth also fill and bccO ne
smooth j *f,er eight, it is d fficut indeed,
by some h?ld to be impossible, to judge
cortcclly of the age of a horse; ati the
s rikisg marts of his month having dis
app a ?d.
‘ After which period, recourse must he
had to the genera, aspect of the m t'th.
If the tusks be flat pointed, and have
two small grooves o. t l\e inside, which i
you can readily feel wiq yonr finger, he
assured he is not old, p.-b-->bly no' V' 1
ten; but if you find only one rroove with
in the tusk, you may conclude drat he is
approaching twelve. . ~
‘After twelve grooves generally’disap
pear, and the tusks become as blunt and
as round within as without. The lei., tb
of the teeth is by no means a certan cri
terion to judge of the age, though img
teeth, projecting forward, certainly iidi
cates an advanced age, as the teet! o
young horses ate not s,o long, and £me
rally meet almost perpendicular.
* '.’'he holes in the centre of the belli
sometimes continue to advanced age, but
when the tusks become round and bunt,
the foreteeth long anil projecting forward,
the longue large, lips fl .bby, the horse is
certainly old, say from 12 to 20. or up
wards, notwithstanding any apparent mark
to the contrary',
* Having noticed all the marks which
serve to instruct us as to the age ot a horse,
it is believed, that a person of the most
common capacity may, by paying attention
to the foregoing directi m, ascertain the
age of a horse with a considerable de
gree of certainty, a 1 least,until be is too
far advanced to be of much value.’

Containing certain indications for ascer

Poison in an individual, ami the means
of preventing its developement by de
stroying its germ In a Memorial read
before Uie Medico Physical Society ot
Moscow, ou the 4lh of Oct 182(1, by
Michel Marocheti, attending Physician
at die Galitzm Hospital, and Member
of said Society. Printed in St. Peters
burg, at the Press of Public Instruc
tion, 1821.
AMONG the fatal accidents to which
man is exposed, lue Hydrophob a, a ter
rible consequence if the bite of rabid an
imals, is a disease whose cruelty is aggra
vated by the insufficiency of all means
hitherto employed to save its victim*,and
bv the acknowledgement of ail practical
men, that there is uo specific against the
hydrophobia virus, after absorptmp has
taken place, a.id the symptom's iiave ap
peared. I shall not undertake a relnution
of this truth 1 shall only say, that with a
knowledge of the cause, it is possible, by
means of help duly afforded, to prevent
tlie mischief, and consequently to save
from certain death, those persons, who,
before the discovery which I have the
honor to announce had no chance of safe
ty-
Hitherto, the professors of the healing
art liave oeen ignorant of the true seat ot
the disease, A crowd of remedies hare
been administered ; some b-.cause they
had doubtlessly been employed -with suc
cess in cases where the e was no Hydro
phobia,.and others for the purpose of be
nevolence and p.'cventiun. But a very
important point in medicine,and one that
has been song it in vain, is the cause of
ibis malady Its effects are, unfortunate
ly, but too well known I shall, there
fore, on this occasion, endeavor to state,
Ist, the knowledge I have derived from
observation ; 2d, 'the origin of the disco
very ; and 31, the pathological occurren
ces I hate been able to collect, with my
own remarks upon them.
Having spent almost eight years of my
life i.i the southern governments of Kus
sia where there is a great number of dogs,
some of them often run mail, and produce
frequent accidents. Repeatedly 1 have i
endured the distress of beholding the
death of these victims. I have necessa
rily made inquiries concerning Hydropho
bia, and tried all the known methods of 1
treating it. Confined to a village in the
midst of the wretcln (1 creatures, some of :
whom had been bitten by mad dogs, and
others by mad wolves, nobody possessed i
belter opportunities than myself to ful- 1
tow and watch the course of this hombiC I
disorder. * ■ ’ ; i
1 now state the conclusions I havfe drawn I
from the most scrupulous attention to Hy
drophobia. J i
In the first place, lam convinced, by I
experience, (hat if several persons ale bit- ;
ten in succession, by a rabid anim; I, the (
first bitten exhibits, in the develop intent i
of the disease, more serious and jolent s
symptoms than the second, this more than (
he third, and soon ; the poison actW al- |
ways in an inverse ratio to the tuniiiers, a
in such a maimer that the eighteen!! or f
twentieth person may be constderJl out r
of danger. Such a case sometime/ hap- C
pecs. ,
Secondly, the Hydrophobia virus ioes t
not constantly reside in the mouth of the i
mad animal It gathers the e only at the -
end ~1 a certain time- Ihe b.ta. u
interval, ts not to be considered as ve
moua. Here is another cast in whtcbui
rahb'es is not communicated . “
Thud y, the Hydrophobia virus doe.
not lose, hke th e pestilential
of its Intensity in being c°m. unmate.l
from one body to another—
with more or less violence in
tons quantity- Unfortunately » ...
is not less fatal by reason of its q
"Su^evldenttbat^vi^
d ics noi continue in the wounds; but
■ conveyed in its full force to a part of the
boily pr-»,a#*ntly to tie desenb d.
pan It instandy acts as a most powe. n.
astringent, and, by accumulation, ii.tt. n es
and si.uis the passage, by which
endeavours to expel it from the animal c
c' p fihly, there is ore and one only way
to prevent the developement of Hy lro
phobia in a person whops threatened with
it. [1 deulate boldly, and experience will
boar me outdo-the assertion, that this is
to evacuate tire Hydrophobia vims when
it appears. Where does this reside i anti
h.iw can it be evacuated ?
Sixthly, the strbdivigual glands, are two
in number,one on each side, under the
tongue, between the genio glossi muscles,
>he lower jaw, and ihe inne: membrane oi
the mouth, which immediately covers
them. From these gland* proceed two
or lluee secretory ducts, which open into
the ducts of the snbmaxillavy glands, and
those latter open one on the one side, &
die other on the other side of the freiium
of the tongue. It is precise yto the ex
tremities of these ducts, that the Hydro
phobia virus is conveyed after abite inflict
ed by a rabid animal,'and the e is tempo
tardy detained, forming at the two S|.<>ts
Jis. described, one or two small tumours,
of unequal size- By touching, which
may i,e done with a probe, it is found that
there is a fluctuating humour, which is, as
absorption pi’oves, the hydrophobia pot
son itself It is there that hauire delivers ■
us her enemy. It is fom this hold dial
the surgeon ought to expel him.
Seventhly. Ihe time csiinol be exactly
defined at which these small tumours will
show themssb et. If the virus is not eva
cuated ui 24 iionrs if disappears by re-ah •
Borpt on, then no trace is Us- <f its pve-ex
istence. There takes place a double m> -
•assis towa>d the b am. The most ti gin*
ful symptoms of hydrophobia commence,
and tlie patient sinks under one of its
paroxysms On opening tlie body nothing
extraordinary is observed j pathological
anatomy, afierall its explorations, has not
discovered any indication capable 1 fixing
the attention of 'be physicians, and of
rendering an explanation ol the causes,
because they did not understand the re ab
sorption of this virus.
Uightly. The first thing to be observed
wl en a person believes lie has been bit
ten by a nad animal, is, tlie lower side ol
the tongue, which ought to be examined
for six weeks, once or even.twice in a day,
for a more peifecl precaution. It at the
: end of this term, there is no appearance
not l VS i?4 I Vn^ec' ? ecl with hydrophobic virus
—During these examinations if the tu
rnours appear they must be immediately
cauterized , nr, what is better, opened with
a small sharp ia:,ce This op nation is
performed by raising the tongue with
one hand, covered with a suitab/e cloth,
towards the palate, and somewhat side
ways- to the end, that the small buttons or
tumours may be easily touched. For
greater convenience the tongue'ought to
be supported by an assistant ; so that
ncre may be as many longitudinal iuci
imts as t icre are lumps. F.om these
latter there will proceed some drops of
nisaniout lymph, somewhat greenish, vi hid)
the patient operated upon will spit out.
As soon as the operation is over, tlie pa
tient must wash his mouth wi ll a strong
decoction of the t’ps and flowers of the
Genista luteo tinctorin (Dya’s Broom.) It
is almost superfluous to observe, that this
decoction must be picparedin advance,
for it must be regu,ar!y taken the six
weeks that the patient is under examina
tion as a common drink. The dose is a
pound and a half per day, in decoction ;
or four drams a day in powder, in doses
of one dram each. Tin prescribe!', how
ever, will always take into considers’ion
tlie ige and constitution of the patient.
N.nthly. I observe that the operation
winch consists in opening the small tu
mours. has the great advantage cf being
so simple and so easy to execute, that not
only professional men, but every indivi
dual who has seen it performed two or
three titties, can perform it liimse f This
is very important for the small towns and
villages where, as yet, there are unsettled
established surgeons I offer myself, on
the occurrence of the first accident ot
this kind, to perform the operation in the -
presence of any person whom the go
ven -n-nt may be pleased to appoint.
