DsrRRssINo CASE OF HYDRoPHoBrA-Am man
named Patrick O'Donnel died In Detroit last
Friday from the effects of bite of a dog received
four months ago. The Advertiser of that city SAYS:
On Thursday morning the unmistakable symp.
tons or the most terrible of diseases were apparent
and from that time till Friday evening when death
was brought to his relief, his sutferings were
frequently, a1d during the latter part OF the last
DAY continually, of the most intense kind No pen
can describe the horror with which the sight Of
them afflicted the spectators.
IL should be understood that in this disease the
sensitiveness Of the nerves is exquisite almost
beyond belief. The raising of a hand by one
several feet away occasioned a terri BILE sbudder
For Gods sake don I do that; you take nv brea tn
away" he gasped out; and such is but one of the
many incidents that were constantly occurring
when his spasms were not on There was a con-
slant twiching Of every limb eyes staring as If to
leap from their sockets, or clasping or clutc hing
Of the hands and the like. When In the spasms
he could scarcely be held. He would lump up
and bite at everything near. The sight of fluid
occasioned a most fearful exhibition Of perfect
dread, and at no moment was the unhappy man
at rest. When not in spasms he was rational and
conversed. Early in the day, yesterday, he spoke
OF death as certain, and would call his mother to
him, embrace her, and tall with her, as IL the
next moment would be his last, telling her that
no one could tell what mig ht be the consequences
Of the next spasm
His death, we understand to have been fastened
by his physicians In mercy to him, after all
Imaginable means had been taken to arrest the
disease. He often, when his sufferinqs were
severest, begged of those around him to shoot him
or kill him In any way to relieve him from misery

A BOLD SwTNDLE IN BALTIMORE The Ameri-
can Of the Sd instant, says "On Saturday last a
man about 35 years Of age, Of very respectable ex

name as CIV. Campbell, Va.n He had with him
trunk Of sufficient dimensions to inspire conf.
dence in his being substantial person After be
had retired to his room and made change In his
apparel he returned to the Office of the hotel and
entered into conversation with Mr. Mclaughlin,
one Of the ProPrietors, and showed him a number
Of letters addressed to various mercantile houses
Of this city, and made inquiries as to their means
During the conversation the name Of a gentleman
residing in Southern State, well known to Mr.
Mclaughlin was mentioned, when Campbell
stated that he had been charged by him to give
his best respects to Mr.. Mclaughlin. The latter
being misled by the circumstance, gave reader
credence to the representations Of Campbell.
On Monday Mr. Mclaughlin received letter
from Philadelphia, signed A. Miller, stating that
gentleman named Campbell would arrive at the
Hotel, from Virginia, that day, and requested
that he should be Informed that his wife Mrs C }
would leave Philadelphia on the same day, for
whom apartments were desired. After reading
the letter Mr.. Mclaughlin placed it I'm the room

to him Appearing at the office about 10 oclock
in the morning he observed the letter in his box
and at his request IL was handed to him. OBJ
serving that IL mad been opened he made inou
from Mr.. Mclaughlin how it became opened,
and went away.
Shortly after one O'Clock he reappeared at the
office. and after conversing with MIR McLaugh.
lin few minutes, turned to a clerk and requested
him to get cashed draft for $500, OH the Park
Bank Of New York. The clerk proceeded to the
banking house Of Messrs. Jos ah Lee & Co and
received the money without the draft being prop.
erly examined by the teller, as II was presented
by clerk Of the hotel While the clerk was alb
sent Mr.. Campbell drew forth another check for
$50, which he requested Mr.. Mclaughlin should
cash for him, as be was to pay, In short time a
bill for goods purchased by him Mr.. McI.augh.
lin complied with his request, and Mr.. Campbell
pocketed the amout received from him, as well as
the $50 which the clerk on his return paid him
After few minutes conversation, Campbell
walked up and down the passage, thence into the
bar room and disappeared About two o'cloc
the teller examined the check and ascertained its
worthiessness. He thereupon apprised Mr.
McLaug him, no found that his draft was equal
ly valueless. Information Of the swindle was
given to the police detectives soon after, but all
their efforts to arrest the bold swindler have been
fruitless, Doubtless he made his escape from the
city with the $3.50 obtained so adroitly.
