HORRIBLE DEATH IN CTNcNNATr-A VICTIM OF
HYpR0PHoBIA.-Ths most dreadful of all maladies
was exhibited yesterday In all its horrors in the
person OF John Cookson, late foreman of Semple's
foundry. The particulars are these About nine
weeks since Mr.. Cookson, evening, in returning
from the foundry to his house. the terminus of
the plank road, was attacked by large and fero-
cious dog who bit him in the leg thigh and arm, be-
side inficting slight wound in the face, and IL
however, did not incapacitate Mr.. Cookson from at
tending to his business, and he soon forgot the oc-
currenee. On Thursday evening, upon entering his
home, he complained Of feeling very unwell, and
retired early to bed The night, however, was al.
most a Bleepless one, interrupted by horrid dreams
md nervous starts and early in the morning the
trst symptoms of hydrophobia made their appear.
nce. Medical aid was procured-in fact, some half
lozen physicians were on the spot soon as the
ase became known-but he grew rapidly worse.
lie was bcd, and for few minutes appeared some
THAT calmer; but the horrid fit returned, and
II was fearful sight to behold the wretched man
foaming at the mouth, casting himself upon the
ground and enaeavoring to tear the flesh from his
bones, oil the time moaning piteously. IL II were
possible TO enhance the horrors OF the scene, was,
that the unhappy being was entirely sane, being
conscious of his dreadful situation, and earnestly
entreasing the Mortified spectators TO keep away,
lest be might involuntarily do them an injury. He
was tied down TO the bed, but he succeeded in
holding him down, chloroform was administered to
him, under the influence of which he slept for half
an hour. When he awoke, Il was but to breathe his
last. few convulsve gasps and nervous witch
inSs, and the rigid features and motionless limbs
proclaimed that his suffering were at an end This

OF this aggregate, 357 miles have. been opened
since the first of Move mber last, about six months.
OF all these lines, about 500 miles remain to be com.
plete in order to reach the ultimate termin AL OF
till finished. This win make what may be called
1900 miles of completed railway, independent Of
double tracks Three or four Of these roads are now
engaged making double tracks, as matter of indis-
pensable necessity to their growing business
OF THE RAILWAYS IN PROGRESS
The following are the most important =
Cincinnati and Marietta, 260 miles. This work
has about seventy miles graded, and nearly all the
Greenfield 20 miles is ironed, and is now run by
both freight and passenger trains. 1t is expected
the whole distance from Cincinnati to the coal
mines, about l25 miles, will soon be opened.
Cincinnati and Dayton Short Line, is about 62a
miles. This comprehends the great tunnel Of 900
feet, Of which 5000 have Been cut. The whole line
is now under construction.
r. Cincinnati, Xenia and Cleveland Short Line. Be.
tween Cincinnati and Cleveland, by this route, will
be 900 miles. From Cincinnati to Delaware Is under
contract.
Clinton Line, between Tifin and the Pennsylvania
State line, is constructing.
Tifin and Fort WAYNE, q prolongation of the Gin
ton Line, 102 miles, is under contract.
Pittsburg and Cincinnati Railroad, via McCon-
nelsve, Is partly under construction from McCon-
nelsville to Cambridge.
These lines are now in course of construction,
under such circumstances as will probably secure
their completion. They comprehend about 600
miles, and will bring the aggregate to 800 miles
Besides which, there are 500 miles OF additional
railway projected; and much without doubt will be
accomplished. On the whole, there is scarcely a
doubt that within five years full 1000 miles will be
made in Ohio.
The stringency of the money market only
increases the time required to finish the roads.
1t will not prevent the completion of any. We
neither have, shall have, such severe pressure
in the financial world as will prevent the invest
ment of surplus capital, constantly accommodating,
in whatever business is likely to afford large profits.
Every day demonstrates with more certainty the
fact that Western railways are profitable, and will
remain SO. On this subject we present,

srictest rules of financial estimation. This Is direct

be looked for beyond what has already taken place.
The above view Of the Ohio railways proves one
thing conclusivey, that the investment in Ohio rail
ways has been advantageous to all the parties, while
il is equally clear that they have contributed largely
to the prosperity Of the country.

The Paris Moniteur contains long report from
the Minister Of the Interior to the Emperor on pcni-
Tertiary establishments in 1862. II goes into
OF minute statistics, but the following are alone
of general intercst:--The number Of prisoners con-
dcmned for different offences, and confined in what
are called "Maisons Centraes de Force ct de Cor
rection," twenty-onc in number, was, on the 3lst
December, 1852, 1880, not including 5Sl con-
demned soldiers, sailors and Arabs, confined in
forts. The average number of criminals in these
prisons during 1852 was greater than in previous
years-t having only been 500 from 1920 to 1870,
and 49, GAL from 1870 to 1880 In the total number
of prisoners, 3,sl7 were women. The number OF
prisoners liberotcd from the Maisons Centrales In
1862 was 6,a26.

great, a. experieaee shows that most Of the iber-

the Bank OF France.
The reduction Of the rate Of discount by the Bank
OF France is thus noticed by the Paris press. The
D{bofs, Of May IL, says
The restrictive measures which the bank had some
time ago adopted produced the invaluable efectwhich
was to be expected. The excessive dminution of
the metallic reserve and the rapid increase OF the
demands made for discount and advances had
obliged the bank TO check the expectation of its
specie, which could only be effected by diminishing
the aid accorded to the public or in other terms by
raising the rate of interest. The situation then
changed and money came back The bank now
lowers its rate Of interest which is very logical
proceeding. On January IL, when the bank
raised its rate Of interest from to per cent,
the metallic reserve was 295 900 900, whereas
ut present it ID 10000 900. That simple COM
parison would sufice to justify the measure.
II Ia true that the Bank Of England has raised
its rate Of discount half per cent while the Bank
Of France lowers its rate from to per cent. The
following figures viii enable the public TO form their
Judgment ofthe decision come to IN both cases =
On April 20 the Bank of England had IN hand
900: but according TO tho bill o. 1884, that
bank issued notes only TO the extent OF 10 capital
augmented by its money In hand. On the 18th OF
March last it had only 1t its disposal, Tor the pos
sible augmentation Of hs circulation, f8 OBS OO0
On April 20 that amount had declined to f4,66S 0O0
But the Bank Of France had in hand on March
18th 3l3 600 COO; on April 29h, 384 900 000f and
on May 18th, 400 900 ,000f. What the Bank OF Eng
land could dispose Of diminished, consequently, in
six weeks f3370 O00 or "a, zoo, 000f., and in the
