The Dayton Empire notices an Instance
Of a man in Little York, in MONTGOMERY
county, who was bitten some time ago by
a dog, and who now has symptoms like
hydrophobia:
y few days ago, while in the room with
his wife, he felt rather strangely. and
seemed inclined to bite and gratchis tc h
with all the power he possessed. lie
asked his wife to hand him a piece ofsole
leather, which being complied with, he
bit it through in several places. and con
tinued biting until it was chewed to pic
ccs. lie then requested her to hand him
4 CHIP, which he also tore into splintcrs
with his teeth.
at this point he was seized with very
strange and wild sensations. and he told
his wife she had better leave the room.
as he was fearful he might commit some
personal violence. She did so immc IL
ately and locked the door. lie tried to
get out, but finding the door locked. he
went to the window, which was in the
second or third story Of the house and
jumped out, perfectly crazy and raying
las Is supposed, with hydrophobia. He
ran several miles before he was oycrta-
ken, screaming and crying with the most
intense agony. lie was finally secured
and brought back, and is now under the
medical care Of DR.. lie Fever. Attimcs
he IS perfectly rational, when he refuses
to be tied. When the strange feelings
come upon him, he Immediately gives no
tice, and is properly secured.

THE CROPS.

During trip ola couple Of days into
the country, we had an opportunity Of
noticing the growing crops. A friend
on English Prairie informed us that the
present prospect was that he would get
two bushels Of wheat this year, where he
got one last and we notice that the crop
looks very heavy on the ground al
through the section we visited. This "a
vorablc result however depends on the
weather, for the winter wheat particu-
larly, is just now in the critical period.
The weather while We write being moist
and hot, is by no means favorable to it,
and it is not impossible that all this fine
prospect may be seriously impaired ifnot
entirely blasted. The harvest Of winter
wheat VIII commence in a week or ten
days. Some fields we noticed, looked
already ripe for the sickle. The Spring
wheat also looks Well and promises first
rate-but Of course the prospect may be
all destroyed by unfavorable weather.
There is also o prospect Of an abun1-
ant crop Of Darley-which looks very
nearly ready for the sickle.
Corn has sprung up first rate during
the late hot weather, and looks nearly if
not quite as we'll as usual at this season
Of the year.
The crop Of grass is good-and clover
yields unusually well and heavy.
