DREADFUL DEATH FROM HYDRorioBIa -Jo-
seph Wright, of Cincinnati, was bitten by
his dog about six weeks ago, but thought
little OF the circumstance, supposing the
animal to be vicious rather than mad, and
nothing occurred to cause alarm until last
Wednesday, whep he felt great deal of
pain in the arm bitten by the dog. The
pain increased and physician was sent for
who gave him lotion, but intimated 10 no
one the danger of his patient. The sequal
is thus told by the Enquirer of the 18th in
slant:
"Wrght's suffering increased, the pain
extending to almost every part of his body,
until Sunday morning, when he became
raving mad and his disease was declared
TO be hydrophobia. He raved at times, and
tore his hair and flesh, and foamed at the
mouth, and screamed like demon, present.

In Bloomsburg, on Sunday morning, the
9th instant, after a lingering illness, Miss
MARY E., eldest daughter OF John and Cath.
arne Snyder, aged 81 years; months and
Il days
The deceased was lively young woman,
and possessed kind and generous heart -
She was member of the Lutheran Church,
TO which she became connected some six
years ago and the oldest daughter of our
present Sheriff A short time previous 10
her death she selected hymn, composed
of beautiful lines, which she desired to be
sung at her funeral services, and also her
text, which can be found in Ii. TIMOTHY, ".
CHAP, 9th, 7th, and 9Th verses. The follow
ing is the hymn
SISTER, thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of ev'ning,
When il floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber-
Peaceful in the grave so low:
Thou no more wilt Join our number;
Thou no more our songs shalt know,
Dearest sister, thou hast left us
Here thy loss we deeply feel
But tits God that hath bereft us:
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope TO meet thee,
When the day of lie is fed,
Then in heaven with Joy 10 greet thee,
Where 10 farewell tear is shed.
In this place, on last Sabbath, March 9th,
1859, Miss MAGGIE YATES, daughter of A.
J. and Mrs. Sloan, aged about years.
The subject OF this notice was "A sprighty

ly circle here upon earth, but has gone to

WHEN DR.. Frankln's mother n-law first
discovered that the young man had a hank.
ering for her daughter, that good old lady
said she did know so well about giving hel
daughter 10 printer there was already
Two printing Offices in the United States,
and she was not certain the country would
support them. 1t was plain young franklin
would depend for his support OH the prof
its OF third, and this was rather doubtful
chance. If such an objection was urged 10
would be-sonin-law when there were
but two printing offices in the United States,
how can printeter hope 10 get wife now,
when The present census shows The number
TO be l,507?
1t may be that this good old lady was
slightly tainted with the same spirit that
gives many of the people of our day such a
horror for printers. Printing and freedom
can travel together, hand in hand; but print.
ing and aristocracy never can.

such an object Most ofthe men engaged
in this attempt at disorganization. are those
who were applicants to MIR. BUCHANAN for
