DAWSON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 25 1878. Hydrophobia I'rom The Hitt or a eat. I About a month ago Mrs. Catha , l ine Keenan, who lives with her hus band and a grown up daughter, in a j shanty on Bush street, lied Hook, 1 Brooklyn, was bitten on the wrist bv „ * . ’ a favorite eat, which was lighting j with other cats near her residence.— j Mrs. Keenan paid no attention to the | wound, which healed, leaving two I small scars. On Thursday morning she began to feel severe pains in the wrist which was bitten. These grad ually extended up the arm, and she became so sick that early Thursday evening she sent tor the Rev. Laur ence Toner, assistant pastor of the Church of St. Mary, Star of the Sea. When told of the cat’s bite, he sur mised that it was a case of hydropho bia. The opinion was confirmed hv ■offering Mrs. Keenan some water, which threw her into a spasm. Father Toner at once summond Dr. Geo. W. Welty, of No. 560 Clinton street, who found Mrs. Keen an sittieg up in bed in intense agony, her eyes wild and protruding. Her daughter brought a teaspoon of wa ter to her, hut it threw her into a tremor and caused her to breathe with difficulty. A taplespoonful of water was brought at her request, hut when it was offered to her she ex claimed wildly: “I’ll tear you.” At length she swallowed it. Dr. Welty prescribed sulphate of morphia, and called in consultation Drs. Nathaniel and A. W. Ford, who agreed with him that it was a geuuine case of hydrophobia. No drugs seemed to have any effect. Yesterday morning the symptoms were more aggravated. Mrs. Keen an had been uahle to sleep during the night and her pulse was at 130. At noon she was frothing at the rnoltth, but was able to take a little gruel.— She refused to lie in bed, hut stood at a window, leaning with both hands upon a table. Late in the afternoon, Mrs. Keenan was much weaker, and it was evident that she could not live very long. Even then she was un willing to tie in bed, and when laid upon it would persist in sitting up:— When she was offered some tea she took the cup in her hand, but re. fused to swallow the fluid. Mrs. Keenan is sixty-seven years of age. Mrs. Keenan’s spasms increased in frequency toward the evening, and she grew visibly weaker. At 7:25 p. m. her death occurred. Dr. V eltz said, last evening,'that he never had any doubt that it was a genuine case of hydrophobia. He considered it a case of great importance to the medi cal profession. —New York Observer. The Chin'pan sees Netv York’s new citizens are tints reported in the Tribune-. “Of the chimpanzees, the largest one is about four feet in ( eight when erect, and is nearly full grown. lie is not very tame and occasionally strikes at his keeper with all the vigor of tin ac complished boxer. The others are smaller, and exhibit many indications of affection and intelligence. They caress their keeper when he ap proaches, and show great distress when fie leaves them. The form of their hands is almost, the same .as that of a hsrmftp being, the chief dif ference being that they have no ap prehensive power in the thumb. Iti capturing these animals it was necessary to kill the parents. The captives were fed for a while on the milk of buffalo cows, but at present their bill of fare is varied. For break fast they have choclate, yolks of eggs, honey and bread ; for dinner, sago, rice, bread and port wine ; supper, tea. milk and honey, toast, etc., and they delight themselves between meals with oranges and bannas. — Once a week they are fed with the breasts of chickens, the only meat they eat.” - ♦ Mark Twain, in speaking of cani talism, grows serious for once, and solemnly declares that for his own part “ho would go hangiy for two days rather than eat an old personal friend.” A spread-eagle orator of New York wanted the wirgs of a bird to fly to every Tillage nnd h*ailet in the broad laod; but wilted when a naughty boy in the crowd aang out, “You’d he shot for a gooee before you had flew a mile.” Tobacco Mlealcrs. A8 the sub-eoliectors of internal revenue afe nowon their rounds, and few of them in this part of the coun try have ever learned what their duty is, we publish below a part of a letter fiom the revenue commissioner at Washington to E C- Wade, collector of revenue for the 3rd district of Geor gia. We advise planters to preserve this letter an I not allow themselves to be imposed upon. The letter fs dated April 4th 1878. ‘‘lt has beeu and is now held that a farmer or plunter who simply sup plies his employees with what manu fttC'ured tobacco they need for tLeir own personal use and for their special accomodation, and not with a view to gain or profit to himself is not regard ed as eugiged in the business of sell ing manufseterod tobacco, end would Dot be inquired to pay special tax for : thus supplying his hired laborers j with tobacco. This ruling is intended to embrace all cases where farmers and plautets furnish supplies of tobacco to their laborers, whether such laborers ar9 paid a stipulated sura in cash or ns equivalent by the year, month, week, or dsv; or paid try leceivtug a propor tion of the crop produced, as per con tract; or wlrete the laborers cultivate a given number of acres of land at an agreed rent. A farmer or plan'er j who sohi/ for the accom.odaiion of las , laborers or employees, as above unfitted j —n t with a view of gain or profit to i himself—even though he charges a pries for (he tobacco in advance ol what he pays by the box sufficient to make h tnsejf entirely whole i. e., to reimburse himself for such loss, oust and expense as he may necessarily incur—is not hold to be liable to p y for the special tax.

Mr. John Pore, who lives in the lower part of Lumpkin county, had two little children, aged reapecuvofy ■hree ami six- They were engaged in their curtymary play a few days ago, while the mother was at the well. The oldest child, for what reason it will never be known, picked up a sharp hatchet and stru .k the baby iu the side, leaving the axe sticking in the wound. The child seeing what he had done ran and told his mother, who was drawing a bucket of water at the time.

Tim horses they select aie not below ‘16.2’ high, and sixteen hands wheioever they can get them. The quality of animals is about the same as in our cavalry service during the war, but I’ll wartaut them will he as many scabs among them.

A little girl in Washington city died on last Fiidy l ight from over ex ertion in jumping the rope. 3he had ‘‘kept tip” eighty times; that night she drad. J*mpii;g the rope is a hatmless amusement for little gills, j if not canied too far, hut it is always 1 liable to the danger of oVor-exertion, ■ for an emulation or rivalry is aroused and the thoughtless little folks try to tiro each other down; and though it I is very rare that this imprudeuce ter minates so sadly as in 'Tie case of Net tie Williams on last Friday, still th<?re is no doubt that rcrieus injuries sometimes result. A rythmic jolting up and down is the serverest strain that can bo brought to hear on any thing.

It must be r uembeied that some of the internal organs are suspended in thuir positions b) very delicate and fragile membranes Su l den and violent jolts or shocks some times tear these membranes with most deplorable consequences.
