Cheering Prospects.

The seasonable weather with which we
have been so highly favored renders the
aspect of things at this time anything but
discouraging. The coming harvest, with
continued favorable weather, promises a
good yield. Accounts from all parts of
the country proclaim the same glad news.
Many fields in this neighborhood, which
but few short weeks ago were apparent
ly divested of all vegetation, are now COW
cred over with a beautiful, thrifty growth
of grain and grass. These evidences of a

OCcultatiOn of Venus.

We neglected to state in former num-
Der of our paper, that on Wednesday
night, the 18th ult., we witnessed the
grand and beautiful exhibition OF the heav-
emily bodies afforded by the occultation of
Venus--a phenomenon which is rare,
occurring scarcely more Than once in the
existence of any human being. The
moon and Venus were in conjunction be-
tween the hours of eight and nine, and the
total occultation lasted probably thirty
minutes. Many of our citizens witnessed
the beautiful exhibition. The following
notice of This phenomenon is given by the
Baltimore Patriot:
CAT the appointed hour Venus and her
heavenly companion, the moon, were
seen, seemingly in close proximity, their
angular distances growing less and less
until twenty-five minutes before nine o.
clock. Venus then modeslly retired be-
hind the dark and obscured limb of the
moon, remaining invisible for twenty-four
minutes, when she again peered out IN all
her brilliant loneliness, emerging from be-
hind the moons Illuminated crescent in a
westerly direction.
"There was favorable opportunity for
observing this rare and beautiful Phenom-
enon, and doubtless many embraced the
advantage of looking upon it. The exhi.
bition was fee, and there were no reserved
seats. Many eyes were turned westward
when the curtain rose and this grand
heavenly panorama opened to view"

Extraordinary Death From Hydro-
phobia.-Mr. A. Rodgers, of Franklin
Ohio, died of hydrophobia last week. He
was bit by mad dog thirty years ago.
Being man of powerful physical frame,
weighing near 200 pounds, it is probable
that the strength OF his constitution kept
the effects of the virus in his system SUBJ
dued. On the 18th Of January, however,
a small, half starved dog bit him on the
hand, when he instantly remarked to his
wife that he never felt such pain. A
severe headache and slight nervous fe-
yer ensued. When Mr.. Rodgers became
aware that the dog was mad, he at once
fel, that, under his peculiar situation, with
the virus of former bite in his system
his case was hopeless one, and imme-
Giately made his will, communicated his
apprehensions to no person, not even his
family. A few mornings afterwards on
attempting to wash his hands and face he
found himself unable to get his hands into
the water. He ate but little breakfast and
in short time went to bed. About IL O.
clock Friday night he was seized by a
fearful spasm. During all his sufferIngs
to the very moment of his death he was
conscious of his condition, and seemed to
take particular care to harm no one during
his raving fits, although he was in no way
secured, and in the same room with his
criondc and attendants

Diseased Cow.-A few days since two

of a cow that had slckened and died, from

Robert Reynolds, the efficient Meat In
spector for the Eastern District, having
become aware of this fact, investigated the
matter, and ascertained that the entire car
cass had been cut up fine, and, with an
addition of pork, was made into sausage
meat. The meat had been placed in
bags preparatory to being dried and smok-
ed, when it was taken possession OF by
the Meat Inspector.
