Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1866-12-01

NEw YORK, Nov. 30.-4-The Tribune's
Washington special says the indications are
that the contest forPresident of the United
States Senate will be between Senators
Wade, of Ohio, Anthony, of Rhode Island,
and Pomeroy, of Kansas. Seuator Sherman
is also named by the more conservative
class, but it is highly probable he will not
permit his name to be used.
The Mississippi Commissioners, sent to
Washington in behalf of JEFF. Davis, have
been informed by the President that they
can effect nothing more than is being done.

dogs and doing other mischief. About a
month ago servant girl in Mr.. Higgs's
service was tying up the dog. when the ami
NAL bit her on the right thumb. She ex-
perienced no serious results until Thursday
week, when her thumb, arm and chest be-
came considerably swollen, accompanied
with great heat, pain, redness, stiffness and
numbness, the arm being so stiff that she
was almost unable to move it. Mr.. Higgs
sent for Mr.. Pope, surgeon of the town, who
saw the girl on Thursday. and found her
evidently suffering from hydrophobia, the re,
suit of the bite of the dog.
On Friday night she became very i'll, bit
ing and tearing at almost everything near
her, and suffering much from convulsions.
She repeatedly declared that she heard the
dog growing at her; indeed, she displayed
all the symptoms of this dreaded disease
As surgical writers on the subject do not lay
down any specific mode of treatment in cases
of this kind Mr.. Pope determined to cause
profuse salvation in the patient. with the
view of neutralizing the poisonous charac-
ter of the saliva of hydrophobia. This is a
course OF procedure not often pursued, but
its beneficial effects were soon apparent. On
Sunday the convulsions and spasms, from
which the poor girl also suffered, had ceased,
and there now appears to be every prospect
of her ultimate recovery Woirerhampt n

The PHILADELPHIA CoNvENTIoN.-It is
quite likely, if johnson does not order the
breaking up of the Philadelphia Convention
by few strikers, that it will break up in a
grand row of itself. The Washington cor
respondent of the Bulletin has this item to
the point:
That chief among Copperheads, ex-Mavor
Wood, encountered Editor Raymond on the
sidewalk yesterday, when the following
characteristic and significant dialogue occur
red
Wood-How about the Philadep phia Con-
vention? viii you admit our folks into it {?
Raymond don't know whether | shall
take part in it or not. Union men ought to
get together in National Convention and see
if they can so harmonic their conflicting
views on new issues as to achieve success on
those clearly confded to their present organ
ization. l want to see whether Union men
are to control the Philadelphia meeting, or
whether it is to be captured by their enemies.
But what have you to do with the matter?
ood-Why, l and my friends propose to
accept the invitation to the Convention and
send delegates thereto. Do you think they
will be admitted?
Raymond don't think you and your
political friends have been invited. The
Jail was iSSutu W men WHO sustained the
war for the Union and the Administration
which conducted it to a successful conclusion.
You opposed the war and denounced the
Government.
Wood-Oh, that is all passed over, and
should be forgotten.
Raymond 1t is not so long passed that it
can be forgotten; and when you and your
friends are admitted to the Philadelphia
Convention, l, for one, shall leave it.
The correspondent adds: This conversa-
tion shows the desire of the Copperheads to
capture the Philadelphia Convention if they
can, and Mr.. Raymond's concluding remark
enlbodies the true sentiment of sound Union
men who have been in favor of the Philadel
phia movement. There need be no doubt
that its originators designed it in good faith
as meeting of loyal men for conference and
counsel. But 1t is apparent that Copper.
heads in the North, and unrepentant rebels
in the South, are diligently scheming to get
control of the movement

How TO EXTRACT A NEEpLE.-Dr. W. W.
Porter, of Geddes, recently extracted nee
die which had been for nearly four weeks
deeply imbedded in the muscles of the hip of
child two years of age, by passing the pos
tive pole of horseshoe magnet, highly
charged, over one extremity of the needle.
In few minutes he discovered the needle
coming near the surface, and in less than
half an hour the head was drawn through the
skin, and it was easily removed. 1t was
about two inches in length. The child dur

TILTING HooPs.-There was some tall

caught lady crossing First street, in front
of the Troy House, and with a whisk trans
ferred things, enveloping her head in her
skirts, and giving ber much the same ap

PALPITAToRs.-This, says correspondent
of the Alta, is the name for the last append,
age to the paraphernalia which goes to make
up the full dress of one of our modern bellies.
1t is very neatly contrived. and ingenious
piece of mechanism, and having had the op
portunity of examining one which, NAV as
well say, was in the hands of the party who
had it for sale, will give brief description
of it and its use. 1t is composed of springs
and wheels, enclosed within two sweils
about six inches apart. These swells are
acted upon by the tiny machinery within
them, which is wound up like clock, and
made to perform a motion which is at times
gentle vibration, and at others full and
steady rising and falling, timed to the
breathing. By slight touch on either side.
this motion can be increased in speed to
futter. The apparatus is light, and is worn
in the bosom of the lady without the slight
est. Inconvenience. Dressed in the tilting
skirt and with one of the palpitators in her
bosom-well. mankind must surrender.

turned complete summersault with his
rider fell on the rider, crushing in his breast
and the unfortunate gentleman's life is de-
SPARED of. The second horse stumbled over

killing him instantly. The third and fourth
