HYDROPHOBIA.
From the Havre hill Intelligencer.
The melanchoiy death of Mr
Francis Chafe, jtm \ who died at
Newtown, N II oh Saturday last,
in the 328 year of his age, has ex
cited mud) alarm among his ■
fiiends and the neighborhood. The
following circumstances relative to
the affecting fcencc, have bean {fat
ed by the fa ni!y :
About the 10’th of April last, a
yearling heiffe* belonging to Mr
Chafe, was seized with symptoms
of hydrophobia, which wore notic
ed by the father of the deceased,
who advised to have her killed ;
hut the opinion of others, who im
put'd the disorder to poifoti, in
duced them to drench the animal
—but it was ineffeftuah
‘I he deceased, who aflifted, is
supposed to have received the con
tagion from the saliva of the ahi
mil, which wet his hand that had
been recently inj red. iNo id el j
feet, however, wire apprehended !
unfit Mondav Jun< 3, vhich was j
firft pt-i tivtd- by his tHocfance to j
water, which he carefully avoided j
and at tt.e naming of which, he !
would ft art lots of appetite fol
lowed, but no serious alarm was 1
produced rill Friday morning, a- 1
bout 7 o’clock, when an agonizing
delirium f izcd him, and it became
neceffarv to confine him. khe
horrors of the feene were indefcl i
kable ; his vociferations resembled
the bellowings of a calf and the
barking of a fox, and he would
cry out that he was a bead. At
intervals fie was quite rational, and
cautioned the people to guard a
gain ft his rage, for he did not wiffi
to injure them, though he feared
he should. In his ucid intervals
he relented his bodily fufferings b\ j
the cioft affecting and fhcckhg Un- !
guage, yet observed that fits mniw
enjoyed a calm submission to his
fate.
lie was imprefled that his disor
der would terminate in death, and
he fixed on the time, which was
i veiified on Saturday-morning, a
j bout 7 oclock. Thus, in the wild
honors and excruciating pangs of
hydrophobia, surrounded by aflec
-1 tionate relafives, who dreaded to
appioach him, fell a pro:, ifing
young man, of an amiable min i,
! decent acquirements, competent
property, and highly refptfib. . ;
j leaving a wife aimoil petrified v !i
grief, with two young child't .0

lution of 1 ufc’ul ci f z* n.
sis it is fiefjrable that fomc re
medy for r ( .is diftn fling malady
! fhou'd be prescribed, it may not be
improper to recommend the uie of
Scullcap. agreeably to the direc
tions given in the American Ma
teria Medica, which, if fk Uuily ap
-1 lied by a physician, may probably
j ell'cd a cure.

This is a native pi .nt, and may
be cafily procured, as it is ntmti
