PULPIT PoLITIos.--Politic and the pull
pit are terms that have little agreement.
No sound ought to be beard in the church
but the healing voice of christian charity.
The cause Of civil liberty and civil govern
ment gains as little as that of religion by
this confusion of duties. Those WHO quit
their proper character, so assume what
does not belong to them, are, for the great
est part ignorant both of the character they
have aud the character they assume
Wholly unacquainted with the world in
which they are SO fond of .Ineddling, and
inexperienced in all its affairs, on which
they pronounce with so much confidence,
they know nothing OF politics but the pas
slons they excite. Surely the church is a
place where one days truce ought to be al
lowed to the dissensions and animosities
of man kind. - danuad Burke.

HORRIBLE DEATH OF Guild FROM HV-
pBoPHoBIA, Lore AFTER THE BITE HAD
HEALED.-ft is our duty to record one of
the most painful events that has occurred
in our city for some time, and one which
calls for the sympathy of all our citizens.
In the early part Of August we noticed
that little son OF Mr.. Charles Kuhn,
butcher, residing on Indiana Avenue, just
west of the canul, was dreadfully bitten by
mad dog. The little fellow was in his
fathers store, when the dog ran in, seized
him by the leg, and threw him to the
ground. The brute then bit HIM severely
between the nose and eye, dragging him
nearly to the door, before he let loose his
hold.
So suddenly was all this enacted, and so
terrified were the bystanders, that the dog
was allowed to escape, although, we be-
licye, il was afterwards killed, but not be-
fore others, and some animals, had been
bitten. Everything possible was done for
the lad and it was hoped that The virus
had boon effectuully cleared from tho sys-
TEN. The wound healed over, and the
boy, an uncommonly lively child, regain
ed hia usual vivacity and health. Last
Thursday the mother was spending tho
afternoon with friend, having her son
with her, who appeared tho perfect picture
Of health, and IN unusual buoyaut spirits.
Not the 8lightest immediate danger was
apprehenled, albeit tho heart of tho mother
would sometimes sink when she contem-
plated the possibility Of the dreaded and
dreadful disease; but still she was COM
forted by the hope, which appeared strong,
that by the remedies applied, including
famous "madstone,' all danger WAS pre-
vented; but Friday, in all calendars an
unlucky day, dashed all these hopes to the
ground, and saw tho worst fears Of the pa-
rents terribly realized. In the afternoon
the little boy showed symptoms Of parox-
yBms, evinclng distaste for water, which
continued increasing III violence, until tho
mention or sight Of water would cause ter
rible erica and spasmB. When tho fits
were at the highest, Charlie would exhibit
every symptom of hydrophobia-- barking
and swapping, frothing at tho mouth, and
showing every evidence of being possessed
by The spirit Of dog madness.
These fits continued, with raging vio-
lence, until the next morning, when tho
child was taken to DR.. n. s. Pendery's
establishment and given vapor bath, in
the hope chat this would expel tho virus
from bis blood. But the malady was too
deep-seated, and the bright little fellow
was released from his sufferings short
time by Death Indianapolis Journal, 10TH.
