HydrOphobia.

A writer in the National Intelligencer
denies the efficacy Of the alleged cure
for Hydrophobia which mas been going
the rounds for some weeks. 1t consis-
ted, as our rea ders will recollecE, in
opening the postules, which were said
always to appear under the tongue
This .writsr says;

article in question are not unknown to
10 the profession, either in this country
or Europe. They have been consider.
ed, put in practice, and found, regret
TO say, unsuccessful, if not. alto gether
worthless. They were presented to the
Medico Physical Society of Moscow by
Dr.. Michel Marachetti, and were COM
muncated for the consideration of the
medical public in this country by Doctor
Sam. L. Mitchell, Many English prac-
titioners have been unable to discover
the occurrence Of the sublingual tuners
spoken Of in the human subject. In
brutes, also, which were mad. they have
been particularly sought after without
being detected, which proves they do
not always occur. :. In France much OBJ
servation has been made testing the eff
fcacy of De- Marachetti's preventive
measures M, Magestel, of the province
of Guienne, found the pustules TO exist
in many cases under his observation

Reported fight between a party of Mex

equal number of Mexicans--in which

MiIler's Prediction.

We have never been much of a belize
yer in the prediction Of Miller, nor ap-
prehensive Of its fulfilment, but there is
something nevertheless in the following
relation, which has been made to us by
a gentleman Of most unquestionable ve-
racity, and Of intelligence and informa.
ton to place him beyond the charge of
selfdeusion.
He states that on Tuesday, he observ-
ed in the west, just before the setting of
the sun, the figure Of an eagle. The
form OF the bird was perfect in the cloud,
and in the attitude of flying, or rather
Tapping Of its wings. He states that no.
thing could be more plain or distinct, ev-
ry part being there, and in just and pro-
per proportion, as if drawn by an artist
of the highest talent, that just below the
right wing Of the bird, was another
cloud, representing, equally clear and
distinct, an ink-stand, in which pen or
quill was inserted.
He states further that he called two
other gentlemen, whom he named to US,
and at the time in the house, to witness
it, and who have also confirmed TO US
the truth Of the statement. However
accidental the illusion, it is remarkable
but our informant thinks more serious.
| ly Of it, and favored US with the inter.
probation they gave to the signs. The
eagle they regarded as the type Of de-
struction, and the pen was there to re-
cord its progress. We snail indulge in
no comment on this strange presentation
Of the heavens, but content ourselves
with simply stating the facts as we re-
ceived them, with not the slightest doub'
in our own mind Of its truth-Ieaving
the Interpretation as mere matter oi
opinion.
