Fearful Case Of Hydrophobia in Horse.

{ Fearful Case of Hydrophobia In a Horse.
a strong harness horse, the property of Mr.. Nc
Grum, OF the mills near Armagh, Ireland, died
lately rabid state, as we learn from the car
lniagh Sporting Chronicle" OF March IL.
The animal onstEe day previous, appeared ex-
cited, and showed other symptoms of illness,H
sweating more than usuaily when at work, and
when yokedto the plow frequently biting and snap
ping at the other horse in an extraordinary man
sner. lnsthe evening he became woIse, and, du
ring the night was so violent as 10 alarm kllnman,
who called the other Servants, as Well as Mr.. Nc
tCtum, who lost nc: time IN sendi ng for Mr. Small
Veterinary Su geon. In the Interim, one of the
men offered the horse a bucket of water, and was
fnriodsly attacked by the animal bitten ON
the brow, Immediately aboyethe eye. Another
man in attempting to secure the horse, was like
WISE bitten on the hand. On Mr.. Small,s arrival,
he ediately discovered the fatal symptoms of
by obia, and pronounced the animal rabi1.
He had the unfortunate men who,were bitten.
forthwith sent 10 Anna gh, where their wounds
county Infrmap. Every effort was made to Sc
cure the horse, but IN vain. He rushed, open
mouthed, ateyery one who dared to approach him,l
and IN frghtful frenzy tore down manager, rack
and stalls raging and foaming amidst the ruins At
length he bust open the door, and made his e.
cape TO an adjacent orchard, where, being well
enclosed he was secured nom doing further mis-.
chief. During the paroxysrns, which increasedin.
violence every hour, he to bite or seize
with his mouthieyery object that came in his way.
About mid-layi he got entangled IN III branches
of an nppes tree, where he struggled until COM
ipletely exhausted, then fell back and died in
dreadful agony.
Ascarefui post ,mortem examination was SUISSE
quently mad by Mr.. Small, who found all The
symptoms ofIrabiesi fully confined. The horse
bad been for seye,al years nthe possession Mr.
McGrum, and previously 10 the attack, was a do
cile and tract table animal. We understand MI.
Small stated in reference to this case, thstal-
though the animal was very violent when water
asjplesented to him, and literally stamped the
bucket to atoms under his feet. that hydronhobia
or dread of Swatsriis no symptom ofrabies in AMI
mails. This is a striking fact which is worthy of
public attention, when youched bysuch compe.
tentand experienced professional authority.
1t is supposed that the horse contacted the dis
ease from the bite Of dog, supposed 10 have been
rabid, and seen in the neighborhood of Ready,
about three weeks since. 1t was a fortunate Cir
cumstance that Mr.. Small was so soon at hand,
and that he at once pronounced the case one of
hydrophobia; otherwise frightfpl consequences
might have ensued to allthemen about the place,
who. inStheirigncrance Of the terrible malady OF
the animal, would, doubtless, lave been more
yenturesome in endeayor TO secure him.

ExrnioGiblsAzra1A rronA onssr Tlnr.-In 1858,
the Duke of Queensbu1y, then Lord March, made
match to convey letter a certain number of
miles within given time. Even the most know
ing ones of the day deemed the thing impossible
His oriship, however, enclosed his letter within
a cricket ball, and stationing twenty young fel-
lows, who were good hands at catching, in aSlarge
circle. made them throw it from one 10 another for
the appointed period; at the expiration of which,
on the grounds being measured, the distance that
the ball had beenmade to travel was found to ex-
coed, by nearly onefourth the stipulations of the
wager.
