Georges Club, told me that the English elev-

Twice this year he has kept his bat for five

Death from Hydrophobia.

The little girl named Earl on the Orange
Mountain, who was attacked with hydropho-
bia, from the bite of dog, died on Sunday
from the effects of this horrid complaint -
This is the third death in Orange this year
from hydrophobia.
The Eveeiag Past, one of whose editors re-
sides at Orange, details the circumstances I'M
der which the girl was bitten, as follows:
The child only eight years old, was in the
road picking blackberries when the dog at
tackled her aud bit her on the instep and heel,
as she was barefooted. Medical aid was call
ed in, and the wound thoroughly cauterzed,
but not until after the lapse Of several hours
Mr. Earle not feeling satisfied with this treat
ment, proceeded Immediately to Bloomingdale
in this city, and paid ten dollars for remedy
prepared by II certain Reeves, said to be an
infalable cure and preventive, which was Civ
en- to the child according to directions; she
continued in good health until Wednesday,
September It'll, when she was taken with a
severe pain i'll the thigh and the l"g that had
been bitten, slight spasms followed.
Most Of the medical faculty of Orange and
the surrounding neighborhocd were called in,
and course of treatment with rapid baths
and strong alcoholic spirits were prescribed
and followed, but the fearful disease had be
come toe deeply rooted in the system, and af-
ter intense suffering, which was undoubtedly
relieved by the treatment, the child died on
Saturday the 10th inst, three days after the
symptoms, which occurred just four weeks after
she was bitten.
In the three cases that have resulted so
fatally in Orange there was no attempt made
by the Sufferers to bite or injure those who at
tended them. There is still another person
who was bitten about the same time, an ed-
erly man, at South Orange who has done
nothing as preventive, and says he has no
fear Of suffering from the disease; his case
may be an exception to the general rule

FOR PRESIDENT IN 1850
HON. VIM. T.. DAYTON,
Of New Jersey.
-. FOR GOVERNOR.
CHARLES S. OLDEN.
OF MERCER
! The Potato Rot.

Of half be true that we hear in regard to
the potato rot, in this and other sections of
the county, the crop must fall far short of
what was anticipated. The rot seems to pre-
vail more among the MERGERS than any other
kinds--though the Peach Blows in some pla
ces show symptoms of disease.
We examined field of MERGERS, some days
since, and found that about one-half the patch
was nearly destroyed by rot; while the other
half-planted some two or three weeks earlier
had almost entirely escaped, the potatoes be-
ing large and fac.
On Tuesday last, a farmer residing near
; this village-and by the way, a large potato
grower-intormed US that he would lose at
: least one-half his crop from the same cause
To all appearances this has been an excellent
season for potato growing, and it really seems
tous mystery that this crop should be so
suddenly cut short. Perhaps they have been
sealded. Cannot some of our farmers give US
IN intelligent reason for it?

Horse Tanning.

We are requested to give notice that L..
STARR, who is now attending the State Fair,
will also attend the different County Fairs of
New Jersey, for the purpose of giving lessons
to Horsemen, Farmers, and all who may de-
sire to be Instructed in the art of breaking
and training horses. From long experience aud
numerous experiments, he has brought the art
of managing wild and vicious horses to perfec,
ton. His plans are simple, easy, and cheap.
and are also perfectly safe for both the horse
and operator In regard to kicking, baking,
and running away, they are acknowledged by
experienced horsemen to be far superior to the
plans of the famous Rarey, who by his feats
has astonished the world. Those taking les,
sons of Mr.. Starr, can subdue the most Wis
cious and uncomfortable auimal, without run
ming any risk. and at very little if any cost
Most assuredly every man who has anything
to do with horse, should possess q knowledge
of his plans, and no one, when he considers
the cheapness and value of the information,
will by any means let the opportunity pass of
obtaining it. Horsemen throughout the, State
are requested to bring their most wild and
viscious horses to the State and different fairs,
and Mr.. Starr will ride and drive them gentle.
Mr., Starr has been among us for some
months, following bis occupation, and during
his sojourn has not only been very successful
in his business, but has for his honesty and
gentlemanly bearing, won the re7pect Of the
entire community.
