DRY COODS. SANKVftCAWO INSURANCE. COlVUUl TIIUBSDAY... JULY 2, 1874. [From the New York Tribune, or Mth ult ] KOBE HYUBOPBOBIA. Death *r a Batcher who wu Bitten bf a Dap a Meath Afe-Affenjr la a Straight Sachet. Those who have doubted the eiietenee of hydrophobia were taken aback yester day by the death of William McCormick, of No. 809 East Fifty-first street, whose ease exhibited all the must pronounced symptoms of that dlseaae. A little over a month ago, Mr. MoGormick, who is a botcher, and also follows the express busi ness, was bitten by a small dog. The wound was upon the hand, and was so slight that it aeemod to be only a scratch, and of no importance whatever. His wife and family expressed great anxiety on aoconnt of the stir about mad dogs ; but he laughed at their fears, assuting them that the dog was not ma I, and that there could be no danger* Tfao dog was taken to the pound auSUU* so that there bas been noebneeto'prove whether he had rabies or not. _ experlanMMpsiuu la his neck and about his shoulders. He believed that he bad rheu matism, and again laughed at the fears of his wife ana family. He eontinued to grow worse, and applied liniments and fomentations. He did not consult a phy sician, and continued about his business sb usual. On Wednesday at 10 Mr. McOormiok complained of feeling a peculiar oreeping sensation coming up his baok and spread ing over his shoulders and the beck of bis neek. He told his wife that he felt faint, and she brought him a glass of water. He took the glass in his hand and placed it to his lips to drink. His teeth closed upon the edge of the glass, bis lips became purple, and his faoe presented the app.jr- ance of a person asphyxiated by choking. The muscles about hiB neck were con tracted, aud he caught his breath rapidly, and at iutervuls conld not breath at all. Ur. Heddou, of No. 155 East Fifty-first Btreet, was sent for, and he reaohed the house as the spasm was passing off. The physician examiucd the patient carefully, and prouonnoed the case one of true hy drophobia. lie prescribed snodynes, and went on* promising to oall again at 10 o’elook. Dr. lleddon called upon Dr. W. E. Lea- THE FOUNDATION PRICES! THE LOWEST at which Dry Goods have ever been in this State I Josepti db Bro.

At 19, as agreed upon, they met at McCormick’s house ami went tu the patient’s room. Without hesita tion, Dr. Leavitt said that he considtred the case one of pronounced hydrophobia. Since the former visit the ease bad ad vanced very rapidly, and tho convulsions followed each other with great rapidity. Seeing that the patient would soon be be yond the control of the family, male uurses were sent for. The most powerful anodynes and narootics Beamed to have no effeet, aud the disease increased rapid ly toward a fatal termination. At 8:18 yesterday morning the convulsions were so terrible that the nurses could not ooutcol the patieut. lie would straighten himself out and then spring with bis might throw himself from the bed. His jaws snapped together and froth ran from bis month in Btreama. Perspiration rolled from all parts of his body, wetting through hie shirt and bedding. His face was livid, and from time to time hie throat seemed to oontract, until the large nine, oles stood out in cords. His agony was intense, and even ohloroform could not be given to qniet tbe convulsions. At length a patrolman was ealled in and sent tb tbe Futy-ninth-Bt. Police Station for help, and a straight Jacket. Sergeant Fanning sent ltonndsman West with the straight jacket and to render snch assist, ante as might bs necessary. With their nailed strength tbe straight jacket was applied and then more control could be exercised over the patient. The physicians remained with Mr. Mc Cormick all night, bnt their efforts were unavailing. Yesterday forenoon Drs, William A. Hammond, Hogan, C. V. Bussell, Hamilton, Vlele of the Board of Health, Tattle, Gremin, E. D. Leavitt and other scientists were called in to see the patient. They made a careful exami. nation of the foots connected with tbe case. Each symptom was weighed with the greatest oare, and every point upon which issue could be taken was disonssed fully. At length they decided that tbe case was one of tine hydrophobia, and llat no doabt conld be oast upon its gen uineness. The time that bad elapsed from the bite of tbe dog agreed with tbe usual time of incubation. Tbe Blight na ture of tho wound did not militate against the diagnosis, because many of the most prouounoed oases of hydrophobia on re- oord have come from j ust snob punctures. The healing of the wonnd was natural, and thiB is usual after the bites of rabid dogs. The first symptoms and the rapid progress of tbe disease agreed with tbe scientiflo investigations in previous eases in London and PsriB. Tbe fatal termina tion most soon come, and then a scien tific investigation is to be made, and the mierosoope may reveal important facta. The treatment bad been the free adminis tration of anodynes and narootics, as far «fe oo. $529,364.92 “ “ “ - - 180,903.89 Total Aetata—Gold—January lat, IB74, $582,632.02. LIABILITIES.

Daring the afternoon Mr. McOormiok waa constantly in a state of spasm. So rapidly did they follow one another that the convulsions seemed almost continu ous. About 4 o’clock signs of weakness were shown for the first time, and it be came evident that a change was near. A little chloroform was administered, and afterward the patient was a little easier, and tried to speak. Before bis sentence could bo finished, another spasm came on, more terrible than any. His back was bent like a bow, and tbe entire weight of the body rested upon the head and heels. His jaws crashed together, and once his teeth went through his tongue, causing it to bleed profusely. The blood and froth ran ’from his month spattering over his faoe aud the bed clothes. Then giving a tremendous straggle, almost bursting the bonds of the straight jacket, he threw himself over upon his side. His jaws were clinched so tightly that they cracked in tbe terrible strain. Tbe agony was in tense. In a few moments, just as the olook was striking 5, an ashen hue beguu to Rpretd over his face. Tho mnscnUr contraction relaxed. The jaw dropped, and Mr. MoGoriuiok’s terrible sufferings were over. Death was welcome, for no person conld have Buffered as be did. He was evidently conscious all through the terrible struggle, as was shown by his at tempt to speak just before his death. The straight jacket was removed, and then tbe rigor mortis began to set in. No evi dence oould be gained as to the efficacy of any kind of treatment, tbe rapid progress of the disease to a fatal termination mak ing every effort futile beyond man's con trol. Musquito Netting!
