Courier. 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;,— Hut none else could be fr § . bu.st, could have given tue & w 8 vain 9^ n ! a,, le waa iiisfwbipped severe i.tra wjtm litßi iau|- w» fU.icAa-vu. . Arui jlilCjlLs i' - - 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. , — ll 1 ■ 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.

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.

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.

We have time this evening to give but afew items ot news; but on glancing the papers over hastily, we find little of any interest whatever. The news from tire Continent is but one or two days later titan was received by the Bix Brothers, troin Havre. It is of a much more paci lie ’character.

It was thought, however that the measure would be ultimately lust in the House of Lords. The Chancellor of the Exchequer de tailed his new plan of ¥• nance, which was considered by some as amounting to a mode of ob'air.iug present relief, bj m rn.nishing die future ability of tne conn try to reduce its debts. l'i justification of this opinion the following statement i> , given in the Liverpool Advertiser of the . 7th of May : There is at present the sum of five millions paid as a Iff -annuity to persons • ou the baif-pay list am! ether pens ns i connect d with it.

It is true that the * money is not formally taken from the sink l ing fund, but it is taken from the savings which would otherwise come in aid of thin j. fund, and will protract the final extinc tion of the deot just as muc ias if it had 1 been taken in the first ins ance from this fund, & it would certainly have b- en the most ccononio mode to have made the com rnissli n§,rsof ihesinkingfuml; thocnntrac 1 tors fur (he farhtingi.f these annuities, as it would save all the profits which must 1 be paid on that account—profits which ; will form no inconsiderable suit).
