' We have seen several gentlemen from the Northern Neck,
who state that the hydroplitibia exists at present among the foxes.
In tile county of Northumberland. upwards of forty persons have
been kitten who have been Sent to the stone. A most remarkable
circumstance attends the iiialedy, when 1,, that t e afflicted
animal in place or avoiding the human species immediately makes
towards them, and even enters houses in the middk of the day...-.
We :lase seen one gentleman, who states, that a fox en eled a
house yard in his presence, notwithstanding there were Several
dogs ; and that tile dogs, in place of attacking the (mime!, intuit:.
dieuety retired, exhilming great signs of tear. On another (gra.
bi4lll. a fox made towards a boy who wes walking along the roads
the. latte? to avoid him leaped into a waggon wh.ch was pawaud.
but the tin pursued and bit i) i 11l in sebtrel placea--Al tab injury
has likewise been done to the cattle ; and we are Mile-Heal that
the greatest uneasiness exists among the inhabitants; oa
amount of the singular and extraordinary malady."

An extract of a letter from Trinidad, received at
