The Result of the Echo Case.

knowing or caring what voyage they were going upon

in business like this, would the Captain or Agent

Mad StGae.

The Rev. Mr.. Cleghorn, Of Covers
Ferry, Cedar county. had one Of his sons
bitten by a mad dog on last Saturday, land
also the horse upon which the boy was
riding at tho time. Having seen the ac-
count which We published few weeks
ago in the Register of tie "mad stone"
in the possession of Mr.. Evans of Paris,
in this county, lie Immediately started
thither with his boy and horse, reaching
Msrioa the same evening, and Paris early
on Sunday morning. Mr.. c.. in com.
mon with nearly everybody with whom
he talked before getting there, had but
little faith in the efficacy Of the stone,
but We understand that after he saw it
applied aud witnessed its operation, he
returned home satisfied in great degree
that both boy and horse were cured. The
manner Of applying IS as follows; The stone
is first soaked in warm milk and water,
and then applied to the wound, In this
boys case he represents i. as adhering
with great tenaeity--so much so as to
cause intense pain for few moments
After short tine it seemed to fill itelf
aud would drop off. After being sub.
merged in the milk again-during
which a green, offensive scum would
arise from the stouc--it was again appli.
ed as before. After the fourth tune it
would not adhere any more, and Mr.. Ev.
ans pronounced him cured 1t was then
applied to the wound Oh thchorse, to which
it adhered three times. To make sure
of the matter However, Mr. c. remained
over night and tried it again in the morn
but in would not take hold On either bay
or horse. As this gentleman is we'll known
here as a man Of veraclty, we have been
thus particular in giving his statement Of
the facts in the case. 1t seems to be u
fact well attestcd that this stone will not
adhere to any wound net made by rabid
animal, aud If 50 must copfound the wis
dom Of the most philosophical
1t seems that we made a mistake in
stating that Mr.. Evans charged nothing
for the use of the stone. He charges
one dollar for person and two dollars
for an animal Linn Go. Register.
