A ~REMARKABbE CASE.
Sixteen Tears Of Suffering with Hy.
drOphObla-An Interesting Subject
for the Medical Profession.

from the. Detroit Free Press. July7.I
A case of hydrophobia has lately
come under our observation. Sixteen
| years ago last Wednesday, James Bay,
then a resident of Pontiac, was bitten
by a. rabid dog but experienced no
serious effect from the b~ite,yuntil one
year from the day on which hewas bit
ten. He then felt some symptoms OF
the terrible disease, which soon devel-
ioped into a most frightful attack. For
SIX weeks he was a, Eaying maniac, and
all hope of his recovery was abandon
ed but an demonstration and skill
full nufsing, brought him out from the
shadow of death, and he rallied the
disease finally, passing of. He pur-
sued the even tenorsof.s his way until
the second anniversary, when he was
again attacked, but with less severity
than on the first occasion. The 18th
day @of-Jpne in each succeeding year
has been the occasion of a hydropho-
bic fit, the last of. which attacked him
one year ago yesterday, at Sandwich,
where he was employed as a brick.
nskers The usual symptoms were felt
during the early part of the day, and
Bay requested some ofhis friends to tie
him, in order to prevent personal inju-.
'ry. Being frightened byhis peculiar APP
pearance, they refused to do so, and he
continued at his work all day, and n
til midnight, his usual time for quit
ting. Going to a neighboring barn, he
ltriedlto sleep off the dreaded attack
After Q while his companions heard a.
noiseiinDthe barn, and fearing that it
was as Bay had declared, bwentrto his
aid IAN appalling sight greeted them
The poor victim was foaming at the
mouth, biting at various Objects and
to all appearance suffering ithe1most
horrible agony. As soon as1he caught
sigkto Of them, with eyes glowing like
fire balls, land uttering an unearthly
yell he madea rush for them! The
party at once retreated, leaving Bay
alone in the'gfoomy hayloft, wrought
up to the highest pitch Of maniacali
frenzy and battling with an enemy
that mo- mortal man can subdue.p In
one of his convufsions, he lifted a
portion of the roof completely of,
which evidently exhausted him, as
nothing more was heard, and when his
friends finally ventured to look after
him ne was found in a, sound sleep
He was at once secured and taken to
a safe place, where he was kept for
several hours, and when he aaweke
nearly all traces of the previous
nights awfal experience had disap-
peared, and, with the exception of the
exhaustion produced by his great suf-
terlngs, was as well as usual. s

d, A queer case has just occurred here.
On the farm of Mr. George Reens
there has been a fine porker for sew
eral months afflicted in a singular
manner The first symptoms was
noticed in February, when he began
to quarrel with all the otker hogs on
the place, refusing to let them eat out
of the same trough with himself, and
finally driving them out of the pen al
together, From this time forward he
began to ~fatten, or rather to swell TO
an enormousssize rfvalling a good, fat
mutton. On one occasion he chased
a dog TOR half an hour, and three or
four negro men aver that they have
seen him frequently this spring lying
under the trees aud charming birds;
on which, they say, he has Toasted
ever since the season came on. About
two weeks ago he became dangerously
f~erocio1s, bowling night and day like
"a bull, a1d wallowing constantly in
the. wafer. Day ,before yesterday he
was,found dead near the spring. DR..
Robert Dixon, who had heard of his
strange freaks, had the curiosity to
cut him open, when there was found

A Novel Way Of collecting Pew Rents.

A Novel Way OF Collecting Pew Rents.
A Montrealaletter writer gives the
follow nge description of the novel
manner in which the Congregational
Church in that city levies and collects
its pew rents:
For instance, if two men should in
dictate a desire to make that church
their place of worship, they would
have choice of al the vacant pews.
Then each man would be asked ito.

to give weekly towards the expenses
of the church. IF one could pay a
dollar and the other ten cents. well
and good the word of each manisI
the standard of his ability. In the
pews are linen bags or envelops, with
the occupants name and number, in
which he is to place his weekly effer-
ing. The house is free to strangers,
but this planf .allecates" the regulars
attendants, and avoids one great OBJ.
lection to free seats. The deacon IN
formed me that the plan was 'incom-
parably more, successful than the old
one of renting pews, Men who could
not give ten dollars a year could give
twenty cents a week very easily. Be
sides, they aim to have all the children
weekly contributors to the church,
Little and often is the motto. When
the congregation moved to their pres
ent place of worship, the families of
the parish were allowed to select their
seats in. order, the Oldest first. The
deacon remarked that the only diff

under consideration, and that he will IN

is expressed here that me district COM

arms and ammunition by The military au-

knowledge Of the President, who has re-

that the President will cause instructions
10 be given 10 military commanders 10
prevent further srmIng OF The negroes.
and, where desirable, to relieve them OF
such arms as they already have 10 their
