HYDRopnoBIA.-A man, named Patrick o.
Donnell, recently died in Detroit from the
effects of bite of a dog received four months
ago. The Advertiser of that city, says:
On Thursday morning, the unmistakabe
symptoms of the most terrible of diseases
were apparent, and from that time till Fri
day evening, when death was brought to his
relief, his suiferings were of the most intense
kind. The raising of the hand, by one sever
al feet away, occasioned terrible shudder
For Gods sake don't do that, you take my
breath away" he would gasp out. There
was n constant twtching Of every limb, eyes
staring as il to leap from their sockets, or
claspiug or clutching Of the hands and the
like. When in the spasns he could scarcely
be held lie would jump up and bite at
everything near The sight Of fluid occa-
stoned most fearful exhibition of perfect
dread, and at no moment was the unhappy
man at rest. When not in the spasms he
was rational and conyersed. Early in the
day he spoke of death as certain and would
call his mother to him, embrace her and talk
with her. His death we understand to have
been hastened by his physicians, in mercy to
him, after all imaginable means had been
taken to arrest the disease. He often, when
his suiferings were severest, begged of those
around him to shoot him, or kill him in any
way to relieve him from mmisery.

The LYceum.

| EDITOR DEMOCRAT: Last Monday evening
the public were invited to attend the usua
debate of the Society, held at the Court

Is the first debating society that has been es-
taoished IN our city, except perhaps, in
some of our schools, and the members mani
lest determination to use all the means in
their power to make it worthy of public
patronage. Its tendency is to direct the at
tention of our young men to noble pursuits
and more intellectual amusements than are
to be found in the drinking saloons, or at the
gaming tables. Oar city has needed such a
society for many years. The corner stone is
now laid, and | sincerely hope the attempt
will be successful. Is it asking too great
favor of our citizens to encourage these young
men, by appearing in their assembly hall
once a month? viii it be too great sacri-
fee of time? l think not. The primary
object of the society is the Improvement of
of the young of our city, but its influence
will necessarily be more extended. Our State
is suffering greatly frcm evils which were
planted here many years ago, and which
none but good, noble and intelligent men can
eradicate Therefore, mothers, if you would
wish your sons to be fitted for high positions
in our State and be the means of eleyating
the moral character of California, encourage
them in every attempt they may make which
has that aim in view. And when the frost

Card from PEARSON Brownlo,..

During the past week, James ". Reese, of Geor-
gia, came to his death from the effects oil blow on
the head, inflicted by John Bell BrownloW, of
Knoxville. This occurred at Emory 4 Henry Col
lege, both parties being students. It is with pain
and reluctance ! allude to this melancholy affair,
and but for the many notices by newspaper editors
and correspondents, which have seen. would re-
frain from making single remark. II is legit-
mate in editors to notice all such occurrences, as
items of news, but when case is to undergo judi
cial investigation as this is, nothing ought to be
said, pro or con, touching the merits Of the case.
know no harm of the deceased or his friends,
and if did would not utter one word OF COM
plant. In the absence of any information pre-
sumo them to be clever people-they have my
sympathies in their bereayement-and would rise
at the hour of midnight to render them any kind
of service, surprising they would do the same for
me. But Justice to my son requires the statement
of one or two facts. The deceased was a very
stout young man-ahont six feet high-Weighed
about one hundred and sixty. He gave the first
son, though member of the senior class, had just
passed out Of his 10th year-Weighs about ona
hundred and seven pounds, and is physically feeble.
He was knocked down when in the passage, on his
way to his room--his antagonist was on him beat
ing him severely, and having kicked him in one
eye, that eye was blinded by mud and sand.
With the aid Of small boy pulling at him, my
son gotfrom under him, and in the same moment
seized upon a small chestnut stick within reach,
and struck the one unfortunate blow. Ny son left
for East Tennessee openly going to the Glade
Springs Depot to take the cars aud was so advised
by his friends, being myself at Nashville. he did not
leave until the physicians pronounced the deceased
in no serious danger, and until my son was ar
raignea before the Faculty, and acquitted, and
ordered to go to Ills studies. He will return to
Abingdon at the proper time, and surrender him.
self to the proper authorities, and await his trial
under the laws Of Virginia. As he Is not, and
never was, a quarresome young man, aud in NOR,
ais will compare favoraby with the better class Of
young men at colleges, ! respectfully suggest To
| newspaper editors and their correspondents, the
great injustice of visiting upon him the political
personal sins of his father, over whom he has neyei
| exercised any control.
