HYpRoPHoBIA.-Ge Gorge Riehl n lad, died in
Philadelphia during the night of Tuesday, from
the bite of a rabd dog received some weeks ago.
He showed no symptoms of hydrophoba until
Monday last. when he was taken sick. For some
time before his death he would become frightfully
convulscd at times, and although but fourteen
years OF age, it required the united strength of
several men to restrain him. During his parox-
ysms he would give utternnce to such cries as

which gave fearful evsence of the operations of
the disease.

\ German, known as Dutch Charlie, was re-
Gently murdered in Colorado county, Texas. As
the body was surrounded by people, an irlshman
proposed that those present should successfully
place their hands upon the body Of the deceased,
believing according to an ancient superstition as
el by SIR WALTER SCOTT in st. paleHtine'S
Dan, that whenever the murderer touched it the
wounds would commence b ceiling anew. The
suggestion was acted upon, and, says a CO res
pendent of the Richmond (Texas) Inquirer, as

An important discovery has lately been made by
the chemists 4 is nothing less than that the leaves
oi coffee are better than the berries. The essen
tia principles of tea and flee are the same, al
though chemists still call that from tea theme, and
that from coffee eaifeil. This discovery will
probably effect the commerce of Brazil, which now
exports such enormous masses Of the coffee berry.
When it is generally known that the leaves Of the
coffee tree are as yaube as the berries, the price
of coffee may be lowered.

that she completes her railways, her canals, and

A DoueHsAcE SLAVE. CATCHER BAKED.

A DouGHFAcE SLAVE CATCHER BAKED.
affair last week trsnspired at Worcester, Mass,
which is SO significant of the public feeling in
that State in regard to the Fugitive Slave Law,
and all Northern men who volunteer to execute
it, that " sll who run may read" Asa0. But
man of Boston, who took the lead in kidnsp-
ping Shadrach, Sims and Burns, came to Wor-
cester, and took lodgingsin the American Hetei;
when, it being noised about that he was there,
and that he was probably in search of some fu-
gitive slave, the house was soon surrounded and
closely guarded to prevent his escape. This so
frightened the poor coward, that he implored
the protection Of the City Marshall, who, there
upon, took him to his private room. But this
refuge oven was soon entered, when the negro
catcher received a severe pummeling from the
hands of one of the enrsged blacks AT this
stage, Mr.. Hoar, son of him who was expelled
from South Carolina, and some ether leading
Abolitionists, interfered, took Butman under
their protection, and having exacted promise
that he would never show his head again in that
city, escorted him to the Depot, followed by a
concourse Of six hundred people, who made
several determined efforts to get hold Of him on
the way. His protectors, hewever, succeeded in
getting him to the depot, where they hid and
guarded him in a prisy, till the train came
along, when they sent the aGect wretch on hi
way, rejoicing at dcliverance from Lynchine

Mrs Lois Lyford, age GS years, wife of Peter

of the largest size taking advantage of the abb
seace of the man of the house, made descent
upon the poultry

and cry, succeeded in defending the chikens
against the first muderous assault. His Hawk
ship banked in the first instance by female in
difference, and indignant at such II resolute as

stand in the Orchard waiting favorable oppor-
tunity of renewing the contest.
The good lady thinking that "forbearance
was no longer virtue" resolved to try what
virtue there was in powder and lead, and re-
turning to the house seized gun which she
handled with some difficulty, having lost the use
of one arm She managed however to hold the
breech against her shoulder with one hand, al
the same time resting the muzzle in the fork Of
an apple tree, and in this position she took aim

CAMP AT ALMA, Sept. 20

1t was said the Russians had 100 guns on
the hills and 10000 men, (4O battaIions of
infantry, 1000 strong each, Of the 10th, 3lst,
32d and 52d regments.) We were opposed
principally to the 10TH and 32d regiments
judging by the number of dead in front of
US. have not been able to ascertain by
whom they were commanded, but there is a
general report that Menschikoff commanded
the army in chief, that the left was under
Gortschakoff, a relative Of the diplomatist,
and that the right was under Bodahoff, the
military Governor of Sebastopol
1t seems strange that an admiral should be
appointed to command an army, but strange
things do happen in Russia. 1t is also al
frmed that the carriage Of Menschkoff was
taken, and in it was found a copy of des-
patch addressed to the Emperor, in which the
Prince stated that 10000 men might take
Sebastopol, but that 10000 men could be
held in check for weeks by the position of AL
ma. Large masses of cavalry, principally
lancers and heavy Dragons maneuvred on
the hills on the right of the Russians, and al
lass descended the hills, crossed the stream,
and threatened our left and rear. As we
came pear the river our left wing was thrown
back, in order to support our small force of
cavalry, and o portion Of our artillery was
pashed forward in, the ssme direction. Our
