, by and. w. and. boully. 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 which he claims thst a sure cure can be effected by any one who has had the misfortune to be bitten by a pois onous reptile. It is reported to have been recently successfully used in tw o mm in Polk county. The plsnt can 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 liabilities of .John King, the Columbus banker, are $303,000, ahd the assets 1322,430 —the estimated value of the latter being $162,180. A Macon man, while a passenger on the Macon and Brunswick Rail road, recently, had bis baggage sto. icn. The road paid him promptly. A negro was struck by lightning and instantly killed, last week, in Buena Vista. One-half of the business portion of Thomasviile was destroyed by fire on Monday last. The City Conncil of Atlanta has passed an ordinance that the sale of watermelons, stale fruits, fish and vegetables, be prohibited in that city for the present. Woods, of the Uawkingyjllc Dis patch, has been prcsentesHfc a beet weighing five pounds atfflVpunces. A German committedstlicide in Savannah last Saturday, by cutting his throat. He was ont of employ ment, and on the verge of starvation. 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 Sunday last, about 12 o'clock, while a party of boys were passing through a field of Jonas Temple, near Buford, in this county, the entire party were prostrated by a thunderbolt. Eld ridge Paul, a son of Mrs. Elizabeth Paul, a widow lady, was instantly killed, and the balanco of the party— four of Temple’s boys—were rendered helpless for some hours.” Savannah is now in the enjoyment of the system of the free delivery of loiters by carriers. The jury in the Bedell murder case, tried at the present term of Fulton Superior Court, have made a mis trial. Rev, Wm. Pai k, general agent for Messrs. G. A C. Merriam, has pre sented a copy of Webster’s diction ary, unabridged, to the Orphans’ Home of the N, Ga. Conference. Ex-Gov. llersohel V. Johnson was given a complimentary dinner, a few days ago, by about fitly members of the Macon bar, presided over by their senior, the venerable Washington Pe, who responded*4 length te the | first regular toast: SfJSie State of Georgia: The ability, dignity and purity of her legislative, executive and judicial departments, illustrated in the services of her gifted son, Ilurschcl V, Johnson.” Home-made ioo is now retailing in Columbus at half a cent per pound. Persons in that city who are now using Northern ico, should transfer their patronage to tho home manufae tnrera, as to them alone are they in debted for the great reduction in tho Sprice of this article. We regret to learn from the Co lumbus Enquirer that the venerable Dr. Loviok l*ierce is tying in a criti cal condition at the residence of bis son-in law, Dr. W. IC. Schley, In that oily. Although not suffering greatly, except from occasional fits of cough ing, fears are entertained that he can not long survive. tar* wood** Household Magazine for July is ahead of any previous number, ami when we consider its usual standard excellence, this is rare praise indeed. It is household, not only in name, but in charooter, and its table of contents shows a wonder ful adaptation of articles to the indi vidual members of tho family circle. “Sim’s Little Girl," a temperance story by Mary Hartwell, “Weather tough Block," by Karl Kaae, “ How the Vow was kept," by H. V. Os borne, ” Lunatics at Large," by Rev. F. W. Holland, and *‘The Declara tion of Independence," by J. B. Wakclcy, are among tho more notice able articles. The Children’s De paatment is crowded full, and con tains a poem, iu baby talk, which, without doubt, will be very accepta ble to the little ones. The price of the magazine is one dollar a year. Address, Wood’s Household Magazine, Newbuigh, New York. Somebody at Louisville forwarded to Grant at Long Branch, for bis son Jesse, a live alligator, four feet long. Je**e declined tbs present, and the President paid sl4 express charges, leaving the alligator with the bag gigoin.-ui. The alligator soon after wards became dejected and died. Taxes in Brooklyn, New York, are higher than in New York city, but rents in the former city are lower than iu the latter, Titusville, Pa,, gardens are in the possession of anew bug with twelve legs. They mako currants scarce. Dr. Brockett, a celebrated writer on cholera and yellow fever, says that a few drops of bromo-chloralntn in a tumbler of water, drank daily, w ill prove a sure protection from these diseases. The Walworth murder trial is now progressing in New York. One of the letters written by the murdered man, and admitted in evidence, is so vulgar and profane, that we are sur prised to see that some of our State papers republished it. Hiram Powers, the noted Ameri can sculptor, died in Florence, Italy, on the 28th ult. One hundred miles of wooden rail way are in operation near Quebec. At Des Moines, lowa, on Saturday night, Nelson Yard shot and killed Jackson Jones for an alleged outrage of his wife. Mrs. Yard also shot at Jones. Both surrendered, and were jailed. The United States Treasury sells a million of gold the first, second, fourth and fifth Thurdays, and one and a half millions the third Thursday of July, and will buy half a million of bonds thd third Wednesday, aggre gating the sale of five and a half mil lions of gold and the purchase of a half million of bonds. A terrible explosion of mtro-gly cerine and giant powder occurred in Virginia City, Nevada, on the 29th. Ten persons were killed, several oth ers wonnded, and two buildings com pletely wrecked. The President’s father died in Cov ington, Ky., on the 30th. He was nearly 80 years old. A boiler exploded at the Tredegar Iron on the 30th, killing a fireman, and doing other damage. It is estimated that it will cost as much to abolish the franking privi lege as it did to keep it in operation. A verdict of not guilty has been rendered in the case of Messrs. Co hen and Ilailley, who were charged with the attempted assassination of Kellogg in New Orleans, Albert H. Smith, a murderer, was hong in Springfield, Mass,, on the 27th ult. The fisonl year closes at Washing ton with five millions in excess of the estimates for internal revenue. To tal receipts, one hundred and fifteen millions. A dfini Was fought near Montgom ery station, Miss., last Tuesday, be tween ex-Judge Wm. A. Cooley and It. B. Bhett, Jr., of the Picayune, in which Cooley wr' killed at tho sec ond shot. Scribner’s for July. “ The Great South ” series of mag nificently illustrated articles begins in Scribner’s for July. In the first paper, entitled “The New Route to the Gulf,” Mr. Edward King gives us graphic descriptions of the movement of the army of emigrants into fffie great Southwest land, and of ro mantic border life—past and present —of that strango but uow rapidly modernizing country. An entertain ing illustrated paper on “ Low Life in Berlin ” follows this. A note worthy artielo in this number is Dr. Newell’s singular autobiographic pa per, entitled “ Recollections of a Res tored Lunatic." There arc, besides, the continuation of Arthur Bonni castle (in which is chronicled the death of Old Jeuks), stories by Ade line Trafton and Miss Osgood; a bright little article on “Children’s Magazines;" a remarkable paper by “An Orthodox Minister" on “Tbs Liberty of Protestantism," and poe try by MacDonald, G.

In the winterjflMUrd their clothes about thfrmJ(rt fmThe summer they let them tjwpiuose. In the winter of adversity nrany a Chris tan girds his heart close to God, to Christ, to the gospel, to godliness, to ordinances, to duties, etc., who in the summer of mercy hangs loose from them all. There are in the United States, ac cording to recent statistics, 63,000 miles of railroad, and 73,000 miles of telegraph line. Louis McMurray, of Baltimore, does an immense fruit canning busi ness. Twenty-five can makers are employed, who average 600 cans per diem. Six hundred persons are em ployed in all. One thousand five hun dred acres of land are in cultivation. Last year 1,000,000 cans were packed. The difference between a country and a city greenhorn is, that one would like to know every thing, and the other thinks he can tell him. “ 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 to his flock, “ when explained to you in my last charity-sermon that philan thropy was the love of onr species, yon must have misunderstood me to say specie, which may account for the smallness of the collection. Yon will, I hope, by your present contri bution, Drove that you are no lon ger laboring UDdcr the same mis take.” A Detroit negro prisoner, on his way to the penitentiary for larceny, was asked what he thought of his trial. He said, “ When dat lawyer dat fended me made his speech, I thought sliuah I was going to take my ole bat and walk right ont of dat oo't room; but when de other law yer got up and commenced talking, I knowed I was de biggest rascal on de top of de eif.” People who. believe the current stories about intel igent dogs will read with pleasure that a lost dog in Norfolk, having seen his master’s advertisement in one of the local prints, promptly went home. Queen Victoria has reiafceil thirty seven years. A thoroughly French story reaches us by private letter from Alsace. Thei writer says: “We have found one very nice way of annoying our oppressors. Very many of the Prus sian officers have little white dogtb We catch these little white dogs and color tbeir heads and shoulders red and the hind quarters blue, leaving a white streak in the middle, thus join ing the French colors—red white and blue. Then we let the little dogs go, and get around and hear the Prus sians swear. It makeß them very angry, indeed.’’ General MacMahon, the new Pres ident of the French Republic, out does our President in smoking! His daily allowance is from 20 to 30 cig arettes and cigars a day, and perplexed about anything he in creases the number to Tfo. If the new President begins in smoke, may not the new Republic end in tbe same way ? 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 nearly equal, 621,000 whites to 475,- 000 negroes, yet tbs last census shows that while there were 4,500 deaths amotig the whites, there were' #,OOO among the negroes. The mea sles earned off 281 negroes to 1%2 whites. 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.— Cleveland Daily Leader , April 16 th. A preacher who rode to meeting with his cart before his horse, preached from a text as an nounced by him, ‘"And the cock wept thrice, and Peter went out and crowed bitterly.” J3p”The popular business with young ladies —husbandry; and many of t(iem make a great bustle about it too.
