He was taken 111 several days ago au4 manifested all the symptoms of hydrophobia. He snapped and snarled and growled like an ugly dog, but evinoea no aversion to water | when it was offered to him he bit tt dipper, but drank Its contents, and froi this fact it la inferred that bia disease is not hydrophobia, but a form of Insanity. He creeps on his bands and knees, and to keep him from attaoklng other per sons and things with his teeth a cane ia given him to gnaw. As he rolls it be tween his teeth he growls and snarls like a dog disappointed at finding no meat on a bone that had been served to It. When Dr. Titus went to the bouse to prescribe for him he found a chair against tbe door, and was obliged to climb In through tbe window. As the doctor raised the sash Wilkin, a sprang io ferooltv ol a blood hound, barking and snarling, and tried to bito him. The physioian seized him by tho hair, and hela him until he had put tho sufferer iu a straight-jacket. Wilkinson's friends say he was bitten by a dog when young, and insist that he has hydrophobia, notwithstanding thi judgment of tbe physioian to the con trary. Dr. Titus believes that the patient has been readingof hydrophobia, and that the symptoms nro due to the effeot of tho reading on his mind. He is in a precarious condition. His fat hot was insane whon lie died.—N. Y. Times. Meat Bread. M. Scheurer-ICentner has discovered the remarkable fact that tho fermentation of bread onuses the complete digestion of meat. Ho found that beefsteak cut into Bmull pieces, nnd mixed with flour nud yeast, disappeared entirely during the process of panifienlion, its nutritive principles becoming incorporated with the bread. Tho meat would also appear capable of preservation for an indefinite period in its now state, for loaves of moat bread mode in 1873 wore submitted to tho French Academy of Science, when not a trace of worms or mouldiness was observable. At the beginning of ltis ex periments, M. Seheurcr-ICestner used raw meat, three parts of which, finely minced, ho mixed with five parts of flour and the same quantity of yeast. Sufficient water was added to mako the dough, which iu duo time liegan to ferment. Alter two or three hours the meat disappeared, and the bread was baked in the ordinary manner. Thus prepared, tho meat bread hod a disagreeable taste, which wns avoided by cooking the meat for au hour with sufficient water to afterwards moisten tho flour. Tho meat must bo carfully deprived of fat, and only have sufficient salt to bring out the flavor, as salt by absorbing moisture from tho air would tend to spoil tho bread. A part of the beef may be replaced with advantage by salt lard, wliioh is found to improve the flavor. The proportion of meat to flour should not exceed one-half, so as to insure complete digestion. Bread made with a suitable proportion of veal is said to furnish excellent soup for the sick and wounded.—Eaulieh Mechanic. Was ! war 1 war npon weeds!

Jtroan Ai.t.ison, of Phlludolphia, has held that under tho law of Ponnsylvauia a sale of goods by sample does not amount to a warranty that the arlloln sold and to bo delivered shall correspond in quality with tho sample.

Hut ho ndds that wlioro "a B ampie is made the standard of quality, an implication "of warranty arisos, as where the buyer orders goods of the sane quality as tho sample or the seller undertakes to deliver them of the same quality." Inasmuch as all tho grain sold in hulk nnd uoarly all the merchandise of tho country is sold by sample and can he trnded in with expedition in no other way, it might be well to hold the sellers to a stricter responsibility than is implied in Judge Allison’s decision.
