HTDRoPHoBIA. We regret TO have to.record
another fatal case of hydrophobia, that OF Miss
Sarah Crehore. She was bitten on the foot by
dog at Newton Corner, in this State, as she was
entering her brothers. house, the 21st of last
September. The dog was killed, although he
did not seem TO exhibit any decided symptoms Of
hydroPhoba: The bitten place after suppurat-
ing and forming sore was gradually healed and
Miss Crehore seemed entirely recovered, until
being on visit TO some friends at Cast!eton, Yer
mont, she was on Tuesday last seized with the
fatal premonitOry symptom of the dreadful dis
ease, commissions at the sight of water. For
long time she struggled against the idea that il
was hydrophobia. They had assured her that the
dog, by which she had been bitten was not mad.
and her apprehensions had been wholly alIayed
but the fatal vilus was, it seems, lurking in her
system, and she was destined to fall another VIC
tim to the heedessness OF the public to the re-.
Peated warnings OF the press against mad dogs.
The unhappy lady died on Friday last, exhibiting
in her case all the symptoms OF hydrophobia.
