I I I Hydrophobia.— The C outlet ticut Courier relates a frightfu i case of hydrophobia which ended in death last week at Hartford. 1 A coloured man named George, living with a Mr. Kempton. I w as bitten on the thumb, about five or six weeks ago, in attempt- | ing to confine a mad dog. The wound healed and little was i tl'O ight of it until about two days before his death. The re- i mainder of the case is related thus: j “ It was observed by one ofthe family that George, the name of the subject, could not, or did not th ink his tea at night. This I alarmed the family, mid steps were then taken to ascertain the state of his case, w hen it was found that he could not possibly swallow any liquid, and that the mere sight of it, or even the pouring it from one vessel into another, threw him into spasms. ’l’lu et spasms, which affected tin* whole region of the chest, but were most painful and severe about the pit ofthe stomach, were found the next morning to give him great agony, coming on eve ry few m'miites spontaneously, and being excited atony moment by offering him di ink. Thev increased during the tlay to ti e most frightful degree, and fina’ly terminated in death about 10 o’clock, Thursday evenieg. During the last day, however, by great effort, he succeeded in swa'lowing a sup of warm water, which was immediately ejected; and this, so far as we learn, was the i nly fluid taken from tin* arc •-sion ofthe disease.” THE STAN 111 II I) OF UMOS tJonga’cssionaß. ' CONGRESS, SECOND SESSION. 1 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. IVednexday, Dec. 7, 1836. DEATH OF THE HON. DAVID DICK- I SON, OF MISSISSIPPI. As soon as the reading ofthe journal was concluded, Mr. Claiborne of Mississippi rose, and announced lo the House the dt cease of his late colleague, the Hon. David Diek-ou. Mr. CLAIBORNE addressed the House as follows : Mr. SPEAKER : It is only a few years since I witnessed from that gallery, the af lecling honors pa.d to Hie remains of a dis tinguished Representative from the State of Mississippi.* Since that period she has Jost two soiis,t eminent for talents in the public service, and you are now called on to reader the last homage to the mi m r, ol another. The time that has intervened since the death of my lamented colleague, saves me the painful duly of being first to communicate it to bis friends now present. He died sir as he had ived, through a life ■ of extraordinary vicissitudes, with charac teristic fortitude, with but one wish ungrat- ; ified—a wish so na u.al to the human heart —that in his dark bom of dissolution, be ’ might be supported by his nearest and 1 best beloved, and the cherished beings that 1 grew up and clustered around bis fireside. Sir, let death come when it will, in what shape it may, in the battle or the shipwreck, or in the solitude ol the cloister, it is appal iug to human cmiiemplatio.i.- But, sir, 1 when it overtakes us in a distant .laud, and ! w e know that our last moments of agony ' and infirmity are to be witnessed by stran i ger exes, and are conscious that we must be carried down to an unwept grave, where 1 no kindred dust shall mingle w ith ours for ever, and the last hope of home and of fam ily, fades from our filmed vicwv, O ! sir, this is death I this it is to die ! Such was the 1! destiny of my colleague: “by strangers j honored, and by s.rangers mourned his | d\ mg message w as for those broken-hearted 1 ; ones, now in widowhood and orphanage— I bis expiring sigh a prayer for them. Mr. Speaker : 1 shall pronounce no eu logy on the dea . Lit history speak it. ’ | For twenty years lie preserved a high posi tion in the public sei vice, and In died poor ! er than when he entered it, leaving to his , child en the riches of an honorable name. 1 If it be praise to have lived beloved and to die unreproached, then it is due to him. It now only remains for us to pay the final ' honors to his memory— sad, because it 5 | seems like breaking the last link that binds ' the living to the dead ; solemn, when we ? reflect how soon, how very soon, some frienp now prts nt may iuvoke the same tribute for ourselves. ’ I offer you, sir, the following resolution--: Resolved, That in testimony of their re i peet for the meinoiy of David Dickson, late a representative from the State of Mis- ■ I sissippi, the members of this House w ill | 1 wear tiie usual badge of mournintr for thir- i jydays. The resolution was adopted unanimous -3 iy- DEATH OF GEN. COFFEE OF GEORGIA. e Mr. Haynes then rose to announce also ; the decease of the Hon.

John Coffee of Georgia. ? j For a considerable portion of the last j I session of Congress, he labored under se-| f j vere indisposition, which, at different peri , ods, delaim d him from the service of the ! j ' House. Although his s\ inptoms were sol t | mitigated before the adjournment, as to ena f , ble him to resume the regular discharge of [’; his public duties, no radical amendment had ) I taken place ; and with gradually increas- J ing force, his disease closed his existence, K ; in the bosom of his family, in the month ol : / September last. ] In speaking ofa departed friend and col ? league, the language of eulogy might well > be excused But. to those who ’have been associated with Gen. Coffee in the labours . of this House for the last three years such . ! Janguage would be unnecessary. i 1 Suffice it to say, that in his domestic and , I s-oeial relations, he was eminently charac terised by affectionate kindness and cour . tesy, and that his public duties were dis t charged with honor to himself andfideiity r to his country. As the usual mark of re spect, 1 offer the following resolutions : Resolved unanimously, That this House . has received with the liveliest sensibility, ; tne annunciation of the death of the Hon. ■ -John Coffee, a Representative from the 1 I State of Georgia. :) Resolved unanimously, That this House 1 tenders to the relatives < I the deceased the expression ol its sympathy at this mournful i event ; ami as a testimony of respect for' the memory ofthe deceased, the members I will wear crape on the left arm for thirtj j days. ■ The resolutions were unanimously agreed j The resolutions were unanimously adop- ; led, and, i On motion of Mr. CUSHMAN, The House adjourned.
