DEATH PROM THE BITE OF Car
Mr.. Nahum III. Hall, of RoclSland,
Me, died in that city last week, of
hydrophobia, resulting from the bite
of cat while at Pensacola, Florida,
he being then member of Co. q.
2Sth Maine. The circumstances UNI
der which hs was bitten were as fol-
lows:
A good many cats infested the
camps, and the soldiers were pursuing
a war Of determination against them,
One of them being pursued and dash
ing into the tent in which Mr.. Hall
was, was caught by soldier by the
legs or body, seeing which Mr.. Hall
graspcd her by the neck to prevent
her from biting his comrade, and HIM
self received "A bite III the right wrist,
and was also bitten slightly in the
thumb of the left hand. He cut out
the flesh at the spot and applied to-
bacco a an antidote, but seems to
have always been apprehensive of
some evil result. Soon after being
discharged he was seized with acute
pains, which his physician pronounced
infammatory rheumatism, and pre-
scribed for it as such, and he got bet
ter. But he became impressed with
the idea that he was attacked with
hydrophobia, which finally proved to
be the case. He could not bear the
approach of water or any liquid,
which he said produced sensations like
those of drowning. To test these
symptoms water was procured, which
threw him into nervous spasms. Mr..
Hall was rational and concious of his
condition through the last day of his
illness, and continued to sink until
about . O'Clock Sunday morning, when
he died without a struggle.

WANT OF CoURAGE.--Sidney Smith,
in his work on moral philosophy,
speaks in this wise of what men lose
for want of little brass, as it is term
ed:
"a great deal of talent is lost to
the world for the want Of a little
courage. Every day sends to their
graves a number of obscure men, who
have only remained in obscurity be-
cause their timidity has prevented
them from making a first effort, and
who, if they could only have been in
duced to begin, would, in all probable
ity, have gone great lengths i'll the
career of fame. The fact is, that in
order to do anything in the world
worth doing, we must not stand shiv-
ering on the bank, and thinking of
the cold and danger, but jump in and
scramble through as well as we can.
1t will not do to be perpetually calcu
luting risks and adjusting nice chances;
it did all very well before the flood,
when man could consult his friends
npon an intended publication for a
hundred and fifty years, and then live
to see its success for six or seven cen
turtles afterwards but at present a
man waits and doubts, and consults his
brother, and his uncle, and his first
cousin, and his particular friends till
one fine day he finds he is sixty-fivc
years of age that he has lost much
time in consulting first cousins and
particular friends; that he has no
more time left-to follow their advice.
There is so little time for over-squeam-
ishness at present, that the opportun-
ity slips away. The very period of
life at which man chooses to venture
if ever, is SO confined, that it is no bad
rule to preach up the necessity, in
such instances, of little violence done
to the feelings, and of efforts made in
defiance of strict and sober calculation.
