fivortoPtroßfs..,—Another fatal instance of
this alarming malady occurred in Sheffield on Wed-
nesday night, in the death of Joseph Newell, a
miner, employed in the service -of Messrs. Booth and
Co., and formerly an apprentice at the Low-maor
iron-writ ks, Bradford. The deceased was twenty
years of age, and recollects having been bitten by
a rabid animal about 12 weeks since ; the wound
was in the tbumb.'and since presented an appear-
ance of being well. The first symptoms of
hydrophobia were displayed on Wednesday morn-
ing early, when his medical attendants were spee-
dily convinced it was a confirmed case. The
quantity of saliva which flowed copiously from him
irrigated every thing contiguous; during his inde-
scribable sufferings, lie retained a perfect presence
of mind, till within two bouts of the flame of life
being extinct, several times previous to which be
harked like a dog. It is sincerely hoped that this
additional case will produce some salutary regula-
tions for diminishing the useless number of the
canine species in Sheffield, wl,era they are so re-
dundant as to have become a very serious ilia-
sance.—(Slicifield Paper.)
