Remarkable Cure by Appl ying the ssM ad
StOne.s,
HYDROPHOBIA

Remarkable Cure by Applying the s'Mad
Stone.,,
From the Utica, Qnd Ledger.
Last week we gave notice of Mr. Burnett
whom by mistake we called Barrett-be-
ing bitten by a supposed mad dog, and of
his going to Terre Haute to apply the mad
stone. From Mr. Henry Schlosser we have
the particulars of the result.
When Mr. Burnett was bitten, he hardly
thought the dog mad, but Mr. Schlosser, on
whose farm Burnett was a tenant, advised
him to be prudent, and lose no time in try
ing the mad stone. Burnett was bitten on
Sunday, and on Tuesday started for Terre
Haute. On his arrival the arm and hand
were swelled almost to bursting and the
wound was very painful all four If the dog $
tusks having penetrated his wrist. Imme-
di -tely upon his arrival, he repaired to the
house Of Mrs Taylor, where the mad stone
was applied. The stone adhered to the
wound with wonderful tenacity remaining
Tor twenty -four hours. 1t was then applied
ag lin on another part of the arm, where it
adhered several hours A third time it was
applied on another part of the arm, but
would not adhere, and Mrs Taylor informed
her patient that he was cured, the fact of the
stone refusing to adhere being evidence that
all the poison was extracted. During the
operation green fluid was absorbed by the
stone, and trickled in drops from the wound
and the patient could feel the pain leaving
his arm When the stone became charged
with this poisonous matter, it was soaked
in warm water for time, when it would
again adhere with its original tenacity, and
continued to do SO until the greenish mat
ter ceased to appear. when it dropped off
Mrs Taylor pronounced the. case of Mr.
Burnett as bad, or the worst one she had
ever seen, but very confidently assured Mr.
Z. that, after the operation of the stone, he
need have no further fears of hydrophobia
We have heard often ofthis mad stone, and
being incredulous, took pains to make some
inquiries concerning it. The stone has been
in the possession of the Taylor family for
great many years. and has been tried a great
many times on persons bitten with mad ami
mails. 1t had never failed to cure in a single
instance, we are told
twenty years ago, Lewis Toms, of this
place, and who is now living to attest the
statement, was bitten by a mad dog, and
was cured by the application of this won
derful stone. We did not learn where this
original curative was originally obtained II
is porous, and III appearance much resem-
bles piece of lava in common use amonp
painters Mr. Toms, recollecting it's GOOD
effect on himself, joined Mr. Schosser in adj
wishing Burnett to try it., and he comes back
relieved of his intense pain, and feeling that
his life was saved by the mad stone. Mrs
Taylors charges are very reasOnab c, being
$15 for the operation, and boarding the
patient during the time occupied in curing

Probable n oinicide at &C ksonvtlle
L aFrom the Illinois State Journal.

So. From the Illinois State Journal
We learn that on Wednesday afternoon, in
Jacksonville, a young man named John Dalton,
in street difficulty, struck an lrishman named
Mcnamara with n heavy club, lndlctlng a
wound that will probably result in the death
of the injured man. Dalton had no provoca-,
ton for the deed, save that Mcnamara de
manded some money from him which he alleged
Dalton had Obtained from him by foul means.
The parties had some high words, when Dali
ton suddenly seized cluO four feet long and
three inches in diameter. and struck McNam-
ara three heavy blows on the head, the last OF
which broke his skull, and will result in his
dea. b. ... ~-s- .-.. .....r.
:. This Dalton, we understand, is a hard char
acter We are informed that, when a
mere boy, eight or ten years DID,. he stabbed
conrade with a jack. knife, producing a
wound from which the boy barely recover
ed Sometime last summer, in a difficulty
provoked by himself, he stabbed young man
named Hoag through the lungs Hoag for
weeks wavered between life and death, but
finally recovered. For this offence he was
bailed. He came to Springfield, procured some
false keys, and with them tried to release the
prisoners in the Jail at Jacksonville. He was
discovered, arrested and again bailed ln Sep
TENDER he made a companion drunk and rob-
bed him by violence on he highaay. He was
bailed for this offence also. When the Morgan
county Circuit Court met he failed to appear,
and his bail was forfeited. Recently he re-
turned to jacksonville and commiLted the deed
above mentioned. If Mcnamara dies, it will
be hard for Dalton to escape the gallows. He
is but seventeen years old and already has re-
cord dark as that of the Oldest criminal.

Illinois institution for Idiots and inbe-
Giles.

Illinois Institution for Idiots and Imbe.
Giles.
This institution, authorized by an act of the
last session of the Illinois Legislature, is now
organized and receiving pupils. The officers
have been obtained, and are now inaugurating
:, this enterprise. The requisite attendants will
be employed as circumstances may render nee
eSsary from time to time. Both officers and
attendants are actnated and governed by purely
philanthropic motives and christian principles.
and in their administration OF the affairs of the
Institution, will exercise most tender and pa
rental treatment towards the unfortunate chill
dren entrusted to their care
The institution is designed for children whose
mental development is so far retarded as to
unfit them for common schools, or whose idiosy-
nerasies make them unsuitable companions of
children more highly favored IL telectuay. 1t
is not designed to be custodal in its character,
but TO furnish to that portion OF the children Of
the State mentioned above, a system of in
strucuOn more rudimentary than any practlced
IN our common schools.
Children who are insane or epileptic are not
in a teacl able condition, and consequently may
not be properly classed among those for whose
amehoratiOn and elevation this institution is
designed.
The usual age for the admission of children
to such institutions is from seven to fourteen
years. A cen iderable number of applica-
tons have already been made for admission.
Others designing to apply should do so at once,
as the Accommodations CT the buildings though
good are limited.
The mansion and residence of the late Gov
Duncan have been secured and will be used
for the purposes of the Institution. The ioca-
ton is healthy and accessible, yet retired from
the gaze OF idle spectators The surroundings
are all pleasant, and as fully suited for the pur-
poses for which they are to be used as any
building not constructed with special reference
thereto .-+-.-..
Persons knowing the residence of feeble
minded children in Illinois will confer favor
by writing 10 that effect to the undersigned.
Applications for admls sion, information, etc.,
should be directed to
