EXTRAORDINARILY "A drive on the Lit
40 Ri1er and Columbia Turnpikes yesterday
evening exhibited the great improvement that
has occurred during the last year in the gen.
eraI sppcaraEce Of the lands adjoining those
roads, and clearly indicated the great change
for the better that would be produced through
out the State by the rytu for a year or two
to their former occupations of the vast number
of idIers now lounging about the towns aud
cities of the Commonwealth. Fences have
been erected, by roads repaired houses rehtted
and reprinted, and the whole face of the coun-
try, subjected once more to the influences OF
peaceful pursuits, has donned new and cheer
full aspect, indicative Of future prosperity. a
considerable portion of the land is in cultlva-
ton, and that not tended is covered with .
thick coating OF excellent pasturage. The nu-
merous truck patches are looking healthy, and

the season. as they might be promise, pen-

Of the wheat fields foretells of an abundant

Sixteen Years of Suffering with
Hydrophobia.

A case of Hydrophobia has lately
come under our observation, which in
point of sensational horror, SURPRISES
the most lofty flight of that sensation
loving journal. the Chicago Times
Sixteen years ago last "Wednesday
James Bay, then resident of Pom
tiac was bitten by rabid dog, but
experienced no serious effects from
the bite until one year from the day
on which he was bitten. He then
felt some symptoms Of the terrible
disease, which soon developed into a
most frightful attack. For six weeks
he was raving maniac, and all hope
of his recovery was abandoned; but
an iron constitution and skillful nur-
sing brought him out from the shadow
of death, and he rallied, the disease
finally passing off. He pursued the
even tenor of his way until the sec.
ond anniversary, when he was again
attacked, but with less severity than
on the first occasion. The 26th day
of June in each succeeding year has
been the occasion of a hydrophobic
| fit, the last Of which attacked him
one week ago yesterday, at Sandwich,
where he was employed as brick
maker. The usual symptoms were
felt during the early part Of the day,
and Bay requested some of his friends
to tie him, in order to prevent per-
sonal injury. Being frightened BY
his peculiar appearance, they refused
to do so, and he continued at bis
work all day, and until midnight, his
usual time of quitting. Going to q
neighboring barn he tried to sleep
off the dreaded attack. After while
his companions heard a noise in the
barn, and fearing that it was as Ba!
had declared, went to his aid. An
appalling sight greeted them. The
poor victim was foaming at the mouth
biting at various objects, and to al
appearance suffering the most intense
agony. As soon as he caught sight
Of them, with eyes glowing like fire
balls, and uttering an unearthly yell,
, he made a rush at them.
The party at once retreated, leav-
ing Bay alone in the gloomy hay-lOtt
wrought up to the highest pitch OF
maniacal frenzy, and battling with an
enemy that no mortal man can sub
due. In one of his commissions he
lifted a portion of the roof complete
e ly off, which evidently exhausted him.
5 as nothing more was heard, and when
e his friends finally ventured to lOOl
t after him, he was found in sound
: sleep. He was at once secured and
+ taken to safe place, where he va'
e kept for several hours, and when be
e awoke nearly all the traces Of t1e
: previous nights awful experience hao
0 disappeared, and with the exceptlol
b OF the exhaustion produced by hb
s great suferings, was as we'll as usual

The Crops of 1867.

The following from a St. Lou;0 :
per gives a pleasant survey Of y
crops Of the year with truthful ON
gestions of their relation to onr e
tional prosperity:
The country laughs with an abrn
dant harvest. Throughout the groa 4
er part OF Illinois, this State an5
Kansas, the crop already partly ba pu
vested has been very large: the nS as-
mise of the crop not yet gatba plOi
in, not only in these States but to ~
northward, is very bright. and fro u'
the South and East all reports concn menu
in representing the yield as erceod
ingly abundant Famine is no lono
er feared. Spectators in grain congt
their losses, and consumers alraoJH
rejoice in fall Of prices. The CON:
try is richer already and feels il
Some estimate that the crop of lS67
alone would more than half nav tbo
national debt.
d" 1t is not merely in the actual in
crease of wealth that this bountiMl
harvest will do good. 1t will mako
life easier for all laborers and con-
sumers. To the poorer classes es.
pecially the abundance of provisions
bringing low prices, will be peculiarly
grateful. But this is not all. AR.
culture is the basis of all our prosper.
ity. When that fails, everything
stagnates. The blood in all the
veins and arteries of business flows
feebly. With bountiful harvest il
bounds gladly through the pulses
fresh, vigorous and full Of life, tht
strength returns, and activity becomes
a necessity.
millions of dollars have beer
locked up waiting for this harvest
Business of all kinds has waited Ell
terprise of the utmost Importance ha
been checked; financial depressio
has prevailed; Mr.. McCullock h;
looked gloomy, and the receipts fro
internal revenue have fallen off nea
ly forty per cent. Everybody vas
sailing under close canvass, expecting
a squat. The storm cloud has pass
ed. The Wall street barometer, witt
rising stocks, predicted fair weather
The sky is clear again, and ever
one feels that business must nov
revive. Confidence, the parent o.
prosperity, returns. The farmer re
ceives a handsome sum, and puts n,
small part of it into circulation a
once. The money starts machiner

Big SwEEP.-We should judge that
some one was cutting out their cloth

plating nothing less than the forming
of a new county, altering the county
lines of some half dozen more. and
changing the shires OF several. Or

that comes from the South part of the

Br. Camp has had talk with
Scion Robinson, one of the editors of
the Tribune. He says 9" it is a treat
to converse with him." No doubt of
it. Br. Camps mental calibre is such
that persons of Mr.. Robinson's stamp
don't often allow themselves to talk
with him, hence it IS "treat." 1t was
no doubt as much of a treat" to
his visitor as to him. Great men
love to throw off the cares of state
and mingle with the children-it is
so refreshing! Mr.. Robinson left the

of the poet:

SOUTHERN ELECTIoNs.--The elections

giving neither party any chance to

One HUNDRED MEN BURIED ALIVE
IN MINE.-On the first of July last
the wooden framework of thousand
and five hundred feet deep pit of a
coal mine in the neighborhood of
Lugan, in Saxony, gave way, blocking
up with an impenetrable mass of tim
Der and rock the pit at a depth of
about three hundred ellis from the
top. At the moment of the disaster
one hundred and two men, nearly al
of them the supporters of large fami
lies, were working at the bottom of
the mine. Their provisions were
only calculated for one day. On the
5th of July, the date of our lates

fallen masses had stopped the pit wa

water was standing on it many fee

able help was offered, but the con
viction that nothing could be don
soon enough to save the unfortunate
miners, weakened, as seems, any ener
getic efforts. They were doomed t,
die OF starvation and want of fres
air. On the 4th OF July, all attempt
to reach the bottom of the mine b
any quick process was abandoned an
a sure but slow plan was devised, b
which, at least, the corpses of th
