A FEARFUL STORY OF HYDROPHOBIA-DEATH
OF SIX CHILDREN FROM THE MILE OF BITTEN
Cow Mr.. Henry Drew Assistant Superin-
tendent of Public Property, has related to us
the particulars of case of hydrophobia NJ the
village Of Waterloo, which surpasscs In tragic
interest almost any story Of the kind we ever
read.
Some six or seven years ago mad dog went
through the village Of Waterloo, Jefferson
county, and bit number Of animals. Among
others. it snapped n the leg OF n cow belonging
to Mr. Bahcock The animal was examined
but no mark was found, and it was supposed
that it escaped being bitten. The animal was
afterwards sold to a man by the name OF Gar
rison, who used her milk very freely, rs did
two OF his children. Some of the nelghbors,
including Mr.. DrcW's family, were also sup
piled with the milk Of this COW.
AT different times during the time since the
COW was bitten there has been ineXpiicable and
fatal sickness among those using her mllk ana
two children of Mr.. Garrison S, two of Mr.
Drew's, and two others, have been attacked
with spasms, and died in great agony. Mr
Garrison has also been attacked at times with
spasmS The mystery of this sickness was
solved by the death, with every symptom OF
hydrophobia q short time ago, OF the COW so
slightly bitten seven years ago, anu IN whose
system madness has been latent ever since
The case Is singular one, and worthy the
attention of scientific nen.-.Hnd'So1 iHIS.l

ABsTRAcrIoH vs.. PRACTICAL AcTIoH.-As
vet, no Journal of influence has ventured 10
come up Squarely in favor of Mr.. Stevens. His
speech has failed 10 elicit anything more than
cOmmcndation for il as very vigorous pro-
ductton for one SO far advanced III years
Probably few instances can be found III our
history Of so signal failure as that which Mr..
Stevens has made in this instance, If we may
Judge from the tone of the public press. rms
arises from very natural causes, chiefoi when
is that he is manifestly wrong in his ideas and
Utopian in purpose To divide up the south
into territories, irrespective ofState lines, and
distribute the property of the inhabitants
among others as a penalty, in the expectation
of disciplning the people thus treated into
principle of logic and nature that there is no
wonder that the moyer of the proposition
should be unsupported save by few unsound
minds The fact is, the public mind has been
so impressed with Mr.. Lincoln words on this
subject that the arguments Of MIR. Stevens,
however chartably he may he regarded lndl'
vidually, are like the idle wind -Ptfsburg

HOUSE MoBBED BY NEGROEs.-YeSterda af-
ternoon, about o clock, while the procession
was upon Selden's Point. n fight occurred on
Church street between q white man and 4 ne
gro. In the melee the white man cut the ne
gro after which he ran down Church street
and alarmed the ncighborho0d by his cries
The white man was set upon by 4 crowd OF
negroes, and he ran over the fields towards
Upper Union street, and, being closely pressed
by the crowd of negroes, he ran through VIII
liam stephens yard and when hid from view
threw off his coat and made his escape unno-
ticed The mob insisted that he had sought
protection in Mr.. Stcphens's honSe. lie as
sured them il was not so WhercupOu they
commenced throwing stones at the house and
smashing in the basement windows, shout
ing and yelling like fends incarnate. No.
thing daunted, Mr.. Stephens told the crowd
10 send down for the military guard. and let
them search the house, but he declared
ais intention 10 defend his castle against
any one of them that dare enter without
authority. a soldier passing along ut the time
used every effort 10 pacify the mob but he was
set upon by them and mad TO retreat, which he
did, and while running was shot al several
times by some negroes who pursued him on
horseback The affair being reported TO the
provost marshal, he promptly ordered out the
guard and double quicked TO the scene OF ac.
ton. When the guard arrived, all was found
quiet. The mob had become alarmed and dis
persed. Captain HoSyradt, the provost mar
Shall, was shown over the house by MI.
Stephens, and no one was found secreted. The
coat of the man was found III the yard, where
he had left it as he ran through. This scene
was quite q contrast TO the orderly bearing Of
the procession .-NDIt0K Post
