BURIAL OF STEVENS AND HAzbETr.-The
last of the Harper's Ferry copspirators, Ste
vens and Hazlett, were buried at Eageiwood,
ID, on Sunday. The funeral services
were performed at the residence of Marcus
Spring, Esq, the presiding genius over
body of communists known as the "Socialist
Union.'' The New York Herald gives a
tull account OF the proceedings, from which
we extract the following:
Attached to the button hole of Stevens
coat by red and blue ribbons was plain
black India rubber ring, but for whom it was
intended his friends were not informed, ell
Their by his letters or his remarks upon TAX
ing leave of him at Charlestown. His be-
trothed bride accompanied his remains from
Cbarlestown, and was joined at Eaglewood
by his father and sister. The bodies lay in
one of the front rooms of Mr.. Springs man
sion until yesterday morning, when the tu-
neral took place.
At half-past ten yesterday morning, the
bell upon the community building was toll
ed and the residents of Eaglewood began to
gather for the funeral ceremonies. Very
few strangers were present, although few
persons came from New York, Perth and
South Amboys, and the neighboring coun-
ty. Many of the Socialists did not attend,
but witnessed the funeral cortege from the
balconies of the main building.
The Rev. DR.. Arms, of Norwich, Conn,
I and Messrs. Fiton and johnson, of New
York city, delivered short addresses. Mrs.
| Spring, also read extracts from Stevens
| letters.
The body of Stevens was then placed upon
hearse, and that of Hazlett-uponS COM
mon farm wagon, and the whole compa-
ny followed in funeral procession, the bell
| toling as the procession moved.
| The Socialist &c netery is about half
mile from the buildings, upon slight ele-
walton, in the midst OF a scraggy wood Of
cedars, pines and scrub oaks. Stevens and
| Hazlett were buried in the Virginia collins,
in separate shallow graves, in the midst OF
| small grove, and about three or tour feet
apart. The company threw evergreens up
| on the collins as they detled past on their
| way back to the house,
In a short hour after the graves were
| filed up, the funeral party were scattered
to their homes through the woods, or in
pleasure parties upon the beach, and the
last OF the Harper's Ferry conspirators
seemed to be forgotten, except by the small
party at Mr.. Spring residence.s
CURE For HYDRoPHoBiA. Some time ago
a statement appeared in all the journals
that ten persons had been bitten by a mad
dog at Authoni Eure-et Loire.) The Journ-
al de Charities now announces the death of
the fourth victim, little girl, who had APP
peared quite well till three or four days
back, when the dreadful malady appeared,
and carried her off in few hours. The six
other persons bitten seem to be out of all
danger. The same paper then proceeds to
say:
"Forty years ago three persons of that
village were bitten by a mad dog. Two of
them applied to man who was said to pos
sess an infalible cure for hydrophobia, ham
ded down ftom father to son for several gen.
erations. They both got well, while the
third, who applied to regular practitioner,
died few days after. This fact was univer-
sally known in the couat-y round, and when
the last sad affair occurred, six OF the per-
sons applied to the son of the empire, who
now possesses his fathers secret, the other
four being treated by professional men. The
result is that the six survivors are those who
had recourse to the secret remedy, while the
four who died were treated by the faculty.
We cannot explain these facts, but we
can guarantee their authenticity"
