From the Louisiana Advertiser, May %.

Mr.. Bertran, of the third municipality, [
slipped and fell on part OF the asphalt
tum pavement. still soft, but in partially !
cool state, leaving the slight impression
OF his hands on the surface of it. OAe of
the men employed in preparing the btu
men, perceiving the lad PROSTATE, and |
probably irritated at his carelessness,
ciutched him in his arms, and running
with him to that portion of the street
where the motion liquid was being pour
ed, thrust both his hands into it!
The agony of the young negro must
have been excruciating; for he roared at
the utmost tension of his lungs; ran
through the streets. as it deprived of rea-
son, rubbing his hands to no purpose, as
the boiling substance, acted on by the cool
air, only adhere the closerl Where he
fled to we could not ascertain; his shrleks
still ring on the ears of those who saw
and heard him!
A gentleman who was witness to the
transaction Immediately went for the po-
lice, for the purpose OF having the un-
feeling and callous hearted perpetlator
arrested. The fellow became apprehen-
sive of consequences, and bolted. Chase
was given, but to no purpose, as he sue
ceeded in efecting his escape.
We know not by what process the Bit
umen can be removed from the hands of
the negro, and think, the only mode of
accomplishing will be. by tearing it off,
and bringing the skin of the hands with
! il!

: DEATH FROM HYDRoPHoBIA.--We
! learn from Hudson, that a respectable
man, named Austin, died there on Mon
day. OF hydlophobia. He was bitten ir
the hand about six months ago. while at
tempting to separate two dogs which
were fighting. The wound soon healed
up, and nothing more was thought of it
until two days before his death, when
feeling indisposed, he went home, anc
some medicinal drink was prepared fo
! him by Mrs. Austin. AS the liquid wa
/ presented to him he revolted at It with
e shudder. Afterward, at every proffer O
: liquids, the sensation returned, with great
q er shuddering, and ultimate spasms. TIL
