FRIDAY MORNINO. JULY 4, 1873.
Hydrophobia.
Two alarming case* of hydropho
bia have recently Occurred in Balti
more, occasioning not a little discus
sion among the people of that city.
About three weeks since a small ter.
frier owned by a wealthy butcher
named Freybe appeared nnwell, and
liis owner went to remove him from
the room where be was confined, be
ing accompanied by his son and two
men employed in the place. In do
itg so, however, the animal resisted
1 hem, and before he was secured he
had bitten each of them on the hands,
inflicting slight wounds, some of
•totem being mere punctures of the
skin. But little attention was paid
to wounds by the persons bitten, and
tto one thought of serious consequen
ces ensuing. Asa precautionary
measure the dog was shot, and the
subject dismissed from die minds of
nil present. A few day# since one of
the employes who assisted Mr- Frey
be was seized with violent convul
sions. Physicians were summoned,
who pronounced that the case was one
of hydrophobia. The victim of the
strange malady writhed and foamed
*t the mouth, endeavoring to Lite
and tear in pieces whoever came in
his way. He constantly barked like
s dog, and was pacified only when
one the animals was kept in his
preseftpe. After suffering for two
days be died in great agony. On
the following day Mr. Freybe was
similarly, attacked, and notwithstand
ing strong efforts to save him, he
died in terrible spasms. Great anx
iety is now entertained by the friends
of the two survivors lest they, too,
may fall a prey to the disease, the
physicians staling that there is no
escape for them.
A Fukkcu Tkagkdy.—Two part
ner* in the wine trade were in finan
cial difficulties, and many angry in
tonriews occurred between the par
ties. Wishing to put an ond to one
of these scenes M, Descaxeau was
about to withdraw from his partner’s
preaencc, wlien M. Dtiploux, in a
frenzy of passion, rushed upon hiui
with a knife, and stabbed him in the
side. The victim fell, and the as
sassin stabbed himself three or four
times in the abdomen. 110 then
rushed up stairs, opened the window
and, after driving tbe knife up to tho
Lilt through his left cheek, threw
himself into the court. A woman
employed in the house had beard tho
noise and rushed out to ascertain its
cause just as Duploux was falling.
Ilia body struck her and she was
felled to the ground. Ilcr left arm
was broken and aho was otherwise
greatly injured, Madame Duploax,
a young and pretty woman, also
rubied out at this moment, and was
so affected by the horrible sight that
she is said to have lost her reason.
B. F. Burna*.—From present indi
cations, the Beast is to be the next
Governor of Massachusetts. And*
why not? If the Republicans of that
State hav# a mao who stands head
and shoulders above the masses—the
Saul of Radicalism—that man is But
ler. The embodiment of lust, 'dis
honesty, corruption—everything that
enters into the composition of a full
fledged devil—he is worthy and well
qualified for tho high (or low) posi
tion. Ilia reign at New Orleans—in
fact, the record of his entire life, from
tho incipient dawning of his vile oun
ning as exhibited at the expense of
travelers at his -father’s inn, to his
late salary grab, etc., all conclusively
show that be is emphatically a child
vt destiny.
.Not make him Governor! Re
member his past and his pr^ent!
"Not to promote him would be the
height of ingratitude.
I5?“A telegram from New Orleans |
**ys that it i* not Gen. Beauregard
who signed the New Orleans resolu
tions, I at n Republican ol that name,
not related to the former.
We eiuocrely hope that this is true.
Gen. B. was a brave and gallant de
fender of the right, in days that are
past, and we hope he will never de
sert his country in this her hoar of
need. The laurels won at Manassas,
and upon other sanguinary fields, are
too bright to he laid at the fool of
power.
l*Mr. John Russell, of Cedar
town, Qa., sends us a plant, by using

be found anywhere in the Southern
States. Mr. Russell will send a spec
imen of the plant, with full directions
for use, for one dollar.

The Carrollton Times says thus:
“Boully, of the Hamilton Visitor,
enters a strong protest against the
barbarous habit of tying tin boxes to
dogs’ tails, snd then by hideous yells
making them run through the streets.
Boully is right; as such acts show a
brutal nature, and should be disconr
aged by all who have a spark of true
manliness in their bosoms.”
Macon lias voted for water works
by 231 to 31.
The Cuthbcrt Appeal says: “On

ridge Paul, a son of Mrs. Elizabeth

“ Were you ever a fisherman ?” said
an aged Christian to a student of di
vinity. “ Yes, I have fished with the
rod ,at the rocks,” was his reply.
“O, but I mean with the net?” “No,
I never did.” “ Well, you need to
learn it. And do you know that
when there is thunder, the fish go to
the bottom of the sea?’’ “Yes, I
know that to be a fact.” “Well,
ray young friend, there are very
many ministers that don’t seem to
think of that.”
“ I fear,’’ said a country minister

A thoroughly French story reaches

Thei writer says: “We have found

We catch these little white dogs and
color tbeir heads and shoulders red
and the hind quarters blue, leaving a

Mortuary statistics shots (hat the
popular notion that negroes are more
able than the whites to resist the at
tacks of malarious disease! is errone
ous. In Alabama tbtf races are

000 negroes, yet tbs last census

The Fall Trade. —The New York
Bulletin, discussiag the prospects of
the foil trade, says “ that no decided
estimates can yet be formed as to the
character of the season, as we are ig
norant of the yield of the crops of
the West, and of the cotton crops of
the South. Howevfer, we are t<3d,
there is a reason to hope that some
of the causes which produced the
depression in the tradlb of the spring
months have already spent their
force. The pressure of over-supply
in the dry goods trade baa found its
remedy in a decline of prices, and, al
though the holders of goods have
suffered consequent losses, yet good
results will be seen in more moderate
stocks, better regulated importations,
and a freer disposition to boy. The
markets generally, H it thought, will
be much better situated for the fall
trade than they were for the spring.”
A Crippled (?) Babcock. —On
Monday a fire was discovered in the
glass and paint factory of Messrs.
Sherwin, Williams & Cos., on Canal
St. As if with special intent to test
its strength with its natural adver
sary, it took its origin close beside
the shop where was stationed a Bab
cock Fire Extinguisher. Before the
danger was discovered the hose and
straps of the Extinguisher were con
sumed and everything was progress
ing finely toward an extensive con
flagration- The smoke attracted at
tention, and in spite of its crippled
condition, the Extinguisher was
speedily called to work. It is need
less to add that the fire was almost
immediately subdued. This is the
second time this faithful and prompt
little agent has saved the destruction
of this property, and having been re
paired, is again ready to do battle.—
