SINGULAR CAsE.-We learn from gentle
man this morning, very singular case of what
was supposed to be hydrophobia, which occurred
in Little York, in this county. A married man,
1--WE could not learn his nancy a resident of
the place specified, was bitten, short time ago,
by large mad dog. The wound, being slight,
was not considered worthy of particular notice,
and it soon healed up, and the circumstance
was forgotten A few days ago, while in the
room with his wife, he felt rather strangely,
and seemed inclined to bite and CRATE his teeth
with all the power he possessed He asked his
wife to hand him piece of sole leather, which
being complied with, he bit it through in several
places, and continued biting until il was chewed
to pieces. He then requested her to hand him
a chip, which he also tore into splinters 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 Immediately, and locked
the door. He tried to get out but, finding the
door locked, went to the window, which was
the second or third story in the house, and
jumped out, perfectly crazy and raving, as is
supposed, with hydrophobia. He ran several
miles before he was overtaken, screaming and
CRYING with the most intense agony. He was
finally secured and brought back, and is now
under the medical care of DR.. LeFevre. At
times he is perfectly rational, when he refuses
to be tied. When the strange feelings come
upon him he gives notice, and is properly Sc
cured. This is certainly very strange case.

Grafton. Resolutions were adopted denouncing
{" know.nothingism." Speeches were made by
l.. Orr, of South Carolina, General Walbridge, OF

spoke more than an hour in a happy impromptu
speech. He defended the principles of the Ne
braska bill, which he asserted was carrying out
the precedents established in the history of the
Union, giving the territories the right to prohibit
slavery when the sentiment of a majority was
against il, the was practically put IN ope-

WELL DONE MISSISSIPPI NOVEL WAY TO
KILL FLEAs!-A certain academy in Clarke
county, Mississippi, had been the resort Of q
parcel Of hogs, under whose structure they took
shelter from Indictment weather. In the course
of time, the .feas became very numerous, and
so annoyed the students as to cause the teacher
to call together the trustees, to devise ways and
means to get clear of this troublesome vermin.
After consulting upon the matter, the most
sure means to rid the place of the feas was
thought to be burning them up. Accordingly
a large quantity Of pine straw was collected
and spread round and under the house, and set
on fire. In short time every flea that there
inhabited is supposed, by those who were pres
ent was consumed in the flames or made their
way off so badly scared as never to return to
the scene of so dreadful havoc. While all this
was going on, and such general destruction
being made among the feas, the flames might
have been seen making their way through the
roof of the academy, and in less than onehalf
hour the entire house had fallen prey to the
devouring element, with books and everything
else appertaining thereto. Ifany Of our read
ers are annoyed by feas, we recommend the
above as a sure and effectual means to get
clear of them. The above was stated to us as
being literally e-4labama Standard.

ANNEXATION OF AN ITALIAN PRINCIPALITY
TO THE UNITED SrATEs.-A letter from Paris
to the New York Tribune, dated June 10th,
informs US that the principally of Monaco, on
the shores of the Mediterranean, between Nice
and Genoa, with population of $500 souls,
and two small seaports, is a candidate for ad-
mission into the Union Of the American States.
1t contains three Cities which cover nearly all
its area. They are Mention, the largest, Rogue
bruno, and Monaco, the latter being the capital.
The sovereignty OF Monaco is vested in the
princes of that name; but from the year 1914
until l84S it has been under the protection of
Sardinia. In l848, when all Europe was in a
state of revolution, Mention and Roquebrune
revolted, and declared themselves Independent.
Monaco, the capital, being occupied by Sar-
dinian garrison, remained faithful. The Sar-
dinian Chamber of Deputies has recently pre-
pared project Of law to incorporate the
revolted cities and all the principally into the
kingdom as an integral part thereof without
any separate rights; and it was probably in
view of this that the Duke of Valentinois, one
of the princes of Monaco, made an attempt to
seize his hereditary possessions. He failed,
however, and both parties have appealed to
the United States representatives at Paris to
take possession of the territory. The prince
wishes to sell out to the United States his
rights for the purpose of raising money, as he is
in needy circumstances, while the people of the
principally wish to be taken under the wing
of the American Union in order to secure
republican liberty, and the, protection Of o
powerful government. The United States
secretary Of legation at Paris has undertaken
to investigate the matter. The seaports are
said to be good ones, and would prove valuable
to us, while the territory is described rich in
mines of silver, iron, mercury, &c.-Phiiadet
