and one child to deplore his meIancho y fate.
The particulars SO far as have been able to
gather them, are as folIows;-Nine or ten weeks
previous to his death, Mr.. Vale discovered for
the first time, that his dog exhibited symptoms OF
Hytrophobia, and thinking it unsafe that he
should run at large, confined him; but while IN

the same dog but a short time previous to ms
confinement, died few days after, with every
symptom of Hvdrophoba, which was fearful evl-
dence to the wretched man that he. too, had
within him all the elements of quick coming
and most appalling death. Medical aid was I'M
mcdiately secured, and all known specihcks for
hydrophObia put in rcquisitiOn.

that he was out of danger-felt that the applica-

while he was sitting before the fire, his mother
had OCCASION to pour some water into dish that
stood before him, which caused him to shudder
and catch his breath, something as person does

was the first symptom he exhibited. Doctor

from his bed and exclaimed to the by-standers,
