DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA At
IIUDDERSFIELD.

A. deatn irora hydrophobia has just occurrea a. nn.l.
dersfield. In the month of July last a dog, described as
a black and white sheep cur, and the owner of which d:d
not then, and has not since, transpired, was reported to
have attached several persons, dogs, cows, and a horse.
In the height of its ferocity the cur bit James henry
BoAhroyd, 5 years of„age, son of Joshua Boothroyd,
Leeds Road, its teeth penetrating the flesh above the
cdt of • the left leg, and a large quantity of blood
11.)wed from the wound. The littlo fellow was inunedi-
atelir attended by Mr. Clarke, surgeon, and appeared
b: recovering. On the IGth inst., the child complained of
pans in theleg, and on the 12th inst., the symptoms of
hydrophobia exhibited themselves in a modified form.
rr an this time the .sufferings of the boy appeared to be
of an exceedingly aggravated character, and on Mood.ty
.he fell into the throes and agonies. which invariably El ie.
ccsd hydrophobia—barking, foaming at the mouth, and
extremely violent, until death put an end to his exc] n-
elating pain. The surgeon's certificate states that des! h
had been produced by hydrophobia. A dog belonging to
another person named Boothroyd, and which had been
bitten by the mad brute by which the child was attacked,
was, on Monday evening, taken to the police station a-d
destroyed. It may he stated that, when the dog ras
prowling about the streets, it was chased and a gun dis-
charged at it; but it escaped both the bands of the pur-
suers and the contents of the gun, and its whereabouts
at the present time is quite unknown. It also bit a boy
named Townend, of Lelds-road, 10 years of age, and the
little fellow was at once conveyed to the Infirmary, wilt re
the wound was cauterised.
,The boy was removed to the
house of his parents, and is supposed to be free from the
shocking malady.. The same dog .bit several others, a: d
three cows belonging to a person at Whitacre Mill are
alleged to have died from being bitten by it.

TILE COMIC PAPEI?S.

(From Punch.)

MUSICAL NEws.—The new Irish Church is called the
Church of the Future. Herr Wagner has sent to atilt
whether he shall compose hymns for it. He Las been
answered by an extract from the Canon,forlaidding service
in a language that nobody can understand.

(From Fun.)

PLATED.—" A. match is about to be played," says a
contemporary, "on a novel principle by the North of
Ireland Cricket Club. The contest is " Liberals v. Con-
servatives." We are glad to learn that there la a chance
of any principle at all in such a political contest—its intro-
duction is certainly novel enough. Under the circu,n-
stapces we presume the bowling will not be underhand.
