a porter in the service of the Great Northam Railway,

the effects of a bite of a mad dog inflicted is November

cure appeared complete. On the 21st of Jsnuary the wound
was so much better that Jong went to work ; but on the
26th he felt veal unwell and went home. Yesterday be
became worse, and in the evening it was es much as four or
five men could do to bold him, and the &aprons symp-
toms of hydrophobia had greatly iocremed. He suffered
indescribable agony. In the evening be appeared to be
@hiking under the disease, and a little after 2 o'clock this
morning, after remaining for a abort time composed, he

effect of sudden terror transpired before Mr. Wa'thew,
deputy coroner,last night, at an inquest held at
the Weavers' Arms Tavern, Edward-street, Hoek*.
epos the body of Jane Howard, aged 15 rem.
Mrs. Elizabeth Howard, 7, Edward-terrsee, Hostas, the
wife of a type-founder, said that deemed was ber, daeghter,
and was in good health up to last Friday evening. A little
after 10 o'clock on that night she west out into the back-
yard to get some water at the tap. She saw one
or two men on the roof of the house near the
parapet. She shrieked out mach terrified, and she called
her brother. He ran out and saw the top of •
men's hat as he was making his escape. The deceased west
indoors, but she was so terrified that her brother had to go
in to her assistance. Willies soon after fetched a police-
constable, and told him what had been sees. He got eight
officers, and they searched the whole block of houses sue-
fully, but they failed to find anyone. The thieves had got
away, as they were no doubt alarmed when they heard de-
ceased scream out. A robbery must have been in-
tended. Deceased was taken seriously ill, and a doctor
was sent for, bat she died on the following Monday.
Mr. G. Haycock, IL R.C.S., said he was called in to the
deceased girl, and found her labouring under the effect
produced by sudden terror. On &today she became Mien- I
Bible, arid she died the next morning. The immediate mites
of death was apoplexy, resulting from the fright she had
sustained. The jury returned the following venliot—" That
the dammed expired from the mortal effects of apoplexy,
caused by extreme fright, sad her said death name by oar
adveeters." The proceedings then terminated. '
SHOCKING DEATH OF A DIssENTING
The Rev. A. Blackburn, of Todmorden, was killed yesterday
(Thursday) soon, while crossing the railway, st Ifutterbole,
a little below Esatwood station. He had been to • place
higher up, and was returning home. Au express train had
just gone down when Mr. Blackburn attempted to make the
crossing. It was raining at the time, and he bad his um-
brella up, which he no held that his face might be protected
from the full force of the wind ; he was, therefore, unable
to see whether there was anything as the higher side of the
line, as the wind blew from that direction. A Ingtege
train which had bees "shunted" to allow the express
train (12.20) to pass, had just started, sad got about ball-
speed when the esgise struck Mr. Blackburn's side ; the
unfortunate geetlemse quickly seized bold of the buffers,
but the next moment he was struck on the fax and ha.
The engine was stopped almost immediately after ; indeed,
the driver had observed Mr. Blackburn's danger before be
war struck, and he whistled and put on the brakes, but he
did not appear to hear it. The engine wee • low-tendered
one, sad the demised was coeesquently frightfully mangled.
His lep were beet sad twisted in many ways, hie face
greatly diellignrod,—in feet, he had to be "passed" up.
He wee pissed apes a had, and carried by some plate-
layers to his hoes, which is mar the place. Mr. Blackburn
was minister of the Coagregaticinal Chapel, Eastwood. He
bad been is the ministry more than forty yease.—Lectle
Memory.
