Death Of a Child from Hydrophobia

The Peoria Ills Transcript, gives an ac-
count of the death of child in that vicini-
", only nine years of age, from bydropho-
bia. That journal says:
Her agony and 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 possess
sion of her faculties, and at three o'clock on
Friday morning, exactly twelve hours from
the attack Of the first spasm, her spirit de-
parted to the God who gave it.
And now comes the most remarkable in
cident connected with this heart rending af-
fair. Some four hours previous TO her death,
and soon after one Of her most violent
spasms she told her mother that She had
been visited by the spirit of her sister, who
left this earth for the better land. about one
year since, and tina, this sister had informed
her of certain remedies, which, if applied,
would relieve her sufierings and smooth her
passage to the tomb. The remedies Were
applied as soon rs possible, and, strange to
relate the desired effect was produced She
was freed from her convulsive fit was
enabled 10 breathe easier; converse freely
with her parents and friends, occasionally
drinking little water, and finally, falling
into her last sleep as gently as an infant re-
posing in her slumbcr.-

FiRE.-0n yesterday afternoon, our COM
munity were thrown into considerable ex-
'citement, upon discovering that the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church, on Second street,
was on fire. A spark from the "smoke
stack" of Steele and Hunnell's planning mill
is supposed to have fallen on the cupola, and
set it on fire. A very few minutes elapsed
before the cupola was in sheet of flame
the fire quickly descending to the roof. The
fircmen were promptly on the ground, and
some three or four effective streams, soon
Quoted all fears as to the adjoining houses.
The entire upper portion of the church is in
ruins, and the lower part must be greatly
damaged by water. This is a serious loss to
our people. The church was one of the
neatest edifces of the kind in our city. ES-
pecially will it fall heavily on the congrc-
cation who worshipped in the building
Being few in numbers, they are little able to
sustain so serious loss. When our citi-
zens are called on to help repair this mishap-
as no doubt they will--we trust a liberal
response will be made and we will soon see
the building stand in as stair proportions ;
as ever.

Bas~ Thalberg, the great pianoist, who
left Chicago and many of the Western
cities with concert announcements unful-
filled, in consequence of the sudden and UNI
expected arrival of an angry wife, made
most inglorious flight from Boston last week.
A Boston paper of last week, says:
On Thursday afternoon, the curious in
Sestigator of passing things might have
seen a dilapidated cab careering down Com
mercial street as fastas two sorry nags could
draw it, and within said cab, remarkably
rustic-looking individual, dressed in suit
of Canada gray, pair of cow-hide boots
and shocking bad hat-in all respects look
ing as unlike great man as disguise could
make him. That individual was the illus
trious Thalberg-the pet of the upper crust,
the lion of our local datoyism few months
ago.
Crouching in a corner of decayed cab,
Mons. PIanothumper Primus, reached the
royal mail steamship wharf, and sneaked on
board as If he had been in danger of being
apprehended for robbing the mail coach--he
having one of the wheels in his pocket
But just rs he got fairly on board, he was
met full front by a brother professional and
others who knew him, and was recognized
Begging for Heavens sake not to mention
the fact of his being on board, the mighty
Thalberg dived into a second class berth, and
is now or his way to England, under the
name of John Smith, or Peter JOneS-fol
the list of passengers shows no Monsieur
Thalberg on board the Arabia the present
trip.
