We find the following account Of terrible
tragedy, which recently took place at Lyons, in
the letter of the French correspondent Of the
London Literary World:
A frighful case of hydrophoba is described in
the Lyons journals, which, if the facts are cor
rectIy stated. would go TO prove that this fatal
maladv can remain in the system as long as four

Rod, believe, than has ever been automatically
shown TO have taken place between the injury
and IFS consequences but there IS some doebt
as 10 the real nature Of the disease, though un-
fortunately none as TO the dreadful catastrophe
which took place. A young farmer named
Pevron, about Twenty-Five years OF age, in the
department of the Rhine, was married few
weeks ago to a neighbor's daughter The young
couple bad been long attached 10 each other (;
but the parents OF the bride had refused their
consent on account OF Strangenpss OF conduct

otherwise was most eligible match, hls parents
being comparatively well off, and the son him

passion for the girl became at length so violent
i that he declared he could not exist without her,
and meditated suicide: went to the parents oil
the Young woman, and after some entreaty,
prevailed upon them TO agree TO the match.
Young Peyron at once recovered his spirits
the young woman was delighted, and the mar
/ riage was celebrated with all the rustic pomF
and ceremony common in that part of the prov
inces, concluding with grand dinner and the
inevitable ball. The gayeties were kept uF
until daylight, when the company separated
