Terrible Death of a Child by Ho-
L.- - drnnhnbia -. -.-

The Peoria Transcript gives an &C.
count of the death, by hydrophobia, of
a very interesting child, tho daughter
of Mr.. Henry s. Wooder, of Mount
uawley, six miles from that city, be-
tween eight and nine years of age, on
Friday morning last. The following
are the particulars:
On Tuesday of last week, Sarah
Ellen returned from school, and CON-
planned of feeling %unwell, so much so,
that she did not attend on the following
day, although still able to be about the
house. Thursday she was no better, and
her parents thinking she was threatened
with the typhoid fever, sent fer Dr.
Murphy, of this city. The Doctor ar
rived there about 2 O'Clock in the after
noon, and found her sitting upon the
sofa at the side of her mother, to all
appearances in perfect health; her pulse,
however, was very irregular, with an
occasional wildness in the eyes and it
was not long before she gave a sudden
start, aud placing her hand upon her
throat, exclaimed, ut troubles me to
breathe, mother"
Minute inquiries we're now instituted,
when the fact was elected, which had
not previously been thought of, that
some five weeks since she had been Bit
ten by o domesticated cat on the outside
other foot. A glass of water was ordered
to be brought her, when the sight of it
at once threw her into convulsions.-
This was at tvs o'clock in the afternoon,
and was the first intimation had by. her
distracted parents, of tho terriblezssd dis
ease with which their daughter was
afflicted Her agony aud struggles in
the spasms were awful to behold, and in
one of them she bit her mother severely
in the shoulder, and at another time
scratched the father badly in the hand.
In her spasmodic efforts, the saliva from
her mouth was at times elected across
the room, and the only relief experienced
was by the use of chloroform, which, in
the end, seemed to lose. all efficacy
She remained all the time in perfect
possession of her faculties, and at three
O'Clock on Friday morning, exactly
twelve hours from the attack of the first
spasm, her spirit departed to the God
who gave it.

dent furnishes the official reply of Lord
Malmsbury to Mr.. Dallas who had
called the attention of the British Gov
ernment to apprehended difficulties at
Van Couvers Island touching the pas

gions.
Lord Malmsbury assures Mr. Dallas
that the British Government are dispo-
sed to deal literally with the citizens of

quarter of the British possessions, but it
would be necessary in the first place to
look into the legal claims of the Hudson

DEATH OF A LITTLE GIRL FROM HY-
DRcPHoBIA The little daughter of
VIM G.. Lewis, Esq , of birmingham,
who was bitten some four weeks since
by a mad dog, exhibited, on Thursday
evening last, the first symptoms of dis
ease. She complained of her throat,
and soon after began to dread the sight
of water, s~huddering whenever it was
put before her, or even spoken of. Du-
ring the progress of the disease, she
would frequently complain of hunger
and thirst, but when offcrel food or
drink il would distress her greatly, and
she would turn away shivering aud hide
her face. Commissions became very
frequent and severe, and the child SEEM
ed to suffer intense agony, complaining
of her throat, ear and head, and losing
her consciousness while they lasted
During the absence of the p~aroxysms,
she possessed the use of all her faculties
in a remarkable degree, her sense of
bearing particularly being very acute.
An attempt was made to administer
ether, but it affected her SO violently
that it had to be discontinued. DIR.
Whitney, her physician, succeeded on
Saturday in giving the child some NOR
pLine, repeating the doses frequently
and keeping her under its Influence, as
it appeared to mitigate the severity of
the spasms, which gradually lessened
until death relieved her from her mise
ry on Sunday afternoon.
The child's face had been much Ia
cerated by the dog, having been bitten
in four or five places, tearing down the
side of her mouth, and all the wounds
but this last had entirely healed before
any signs of sickness appeared.-BOs

A Promising Republican Official

. Governor CA4sE appointed lately a
noted Republican as one of the Direc-
tors of the Penitentiary. His name is
MENDENHALL. He was a delegate to
the late Republican State Convention,
and voted for resolutions in that body
%denouncing the Administration of Mr..
BUCHANAN for corruption and extrava-
gance. Observe how this patriot starts
out on his official career. He is just
the man, of course, to denounce his po-
litieal opponents for making too free a
use of the public money. We quote
from the Columbus Gazette, edited by
a Republican
"The Directors were in session two
days, for which they were entitled to Sc
pay for their services, besides travelling
expenses. II will be remembered that
