VALUABLE PAPERS.
A Washiagon letter in the N. Y. Journ
a]i of Commerce says:
Under the late rct of Congress the Jef
ferson ite .ladison papers iave beeti of
fered to the Secretary of State. and the3
are to be published by the goverineWn.
The, Jeflerson paperi are voluminou.
Besides territorial and political disqui<i
tions and correspondence. they embrace
treatie, ot moral and religions tapies; and
parneulatly. nd coanmment o the life and
character of*St. Paul.
Mr. .lrf'erWon was perhaps more carefl
of pnpiters than any man that ever lived,
except the lpte Johii Q. Adams. Mr. Jef
ferson kept copies of ever paper that lte
ever wrote even otn the mo;t trilting sub.
ject. lie invented a Co0pyiing press -ind
had several mtade ir France. One that
lie mtch used is now extant. tl in the
iands of a gentleman in Rich-nond.
Equally careful ie was in preserving every
paper tht e ever received. Ilis p-ipers
-Ind Ifhseoof .r. Madhson are in admira
btle order.
Tle Maidison pripers lately purchased
atnd soun to be plblished are b)v far the
most vailible of any which the govern
Ient have yet obtained or can obtair.
They are rep!ete with valiuable informa,
tio concerning the origin and principles
of otr gtvern ment, and will shaoV, if in
,feed anny further evidence is waitiog of
the fr.t-that if) Mr. Madison we are
chiefly indebted fir thle- adoption of our
hajppv frame of government.
The llamiltonr papers, also authorized
to be purchased have not yet been placed
at the iliaposal of the Secretry of State.
The papers lefli by the late ex-Pretideni
Maonroe. have been collected and pre
pared for the press. and their publication
will ni doubt, tie encouraged by the ga
verninem. They are said to be very val
ntablo and imteresting. They embrnce a
treaties ott the elementary principles of
goverinment as written by Mr Monroe in
retrement and not long to his death; and
atn auto-hioegraphy of his public life np to
the v,!ar 1801.
Jydrophobia.-The following distres
sing car,e is ntticed 'it the Cecil, Md.,
Democrpt of Saturday: -
Mr. William 1utiton of this town is nnw
suiTeriog all the horrors of this fearful mal
aday. He was bitten upoo the hand..two
or three weeks ago. by a dog, not sup sed

but nut until it find ttcn anot er ogat
a cat, the latter of which went nad direct:
lv. when both the bitten animals' were
iespaiched' It is now the 6th or 7th day,
since the symptoms manifested them
selves, and medical aid was not called in
until the 3d or 4th day. All the medical
gentlemen in town, visited him on Thurs
day, but they weie prevented from doing
anything for his relief. Their very pres
euce, together with the necessary itiqijtries
put to him, touching his condition, were
sffi,:iient to throw him into the most vio
lent spa-ms. They attempted in alinirds
ter cloroforn but his spasms were so violent
that they were compelled to desist. It the
advanced stage of his case, the medietl
art can do nothing for him, and death
must speedily put an endl to his miseries
In tte tief Iticid intervals between his
spasms. he al.s with his friends, telbng
them titit he is aware he canuot survive,
anld that he i-k resigned to his fate. lis
hands are secured and covered with stout
g-ives, so that he cannot itijtire Iiiiself or
other;. Being a stout athletic mtian. his
spaisis nire of the iost vinleat character.
uti he hits offered no violence, as yet tt
the m ay perso who tave called no see

ptertmitted t) see him, for alte sigot of'
strangers, is enaflicient to throw himt itmo
spasmis. lie takes nothing to sustaina
natnstre, for tfte reason that he is uttable io
swatllow antyihing. The imnporttunities of
friend.s, indned him to nttempt to eat
somie boiled fowl, on Thutrsdlay, hut after

become the rule of life, so appropriate

one inoher, but at the same time keep
God in your thoghts. Lavish not all

expresses. Te married woman is the

lie must be able to confide house and
family, be able to entrust her with the
key of his heart, as well as the key
of his eating room. His honor and
his hoie are under her keeping-his

this ! And ye sons, be faithful hus
bands, and good fatlers of families. Act
so that your gives shall esteem and love
