HYDROpHOBIA IN KENTUCKY


We have to record one Of the most
unusual and startling fatalities that ever
occurred 10 our city, in the death of
John D. Sargent, a citizen of Frankfort,
from hydrophobia.
Some two munth5 ago small dog
fnluwcd him from the street into his
store, and seelhrd to recognize him vir-
tualIS as his master. It was quite
small, hardly over six inches in height.
It was afflicted with some skin disease,
and at times appeared to be laboring
under a species of fit, staggering back
wards, and yelping asifwith pain 1t was
not supposed to be mad, though several
symptoms are now remembered that
may justly be attributed to rabies. Mr..
Sargent one day fed it with small
piece Of meat, which it had no sooner
swallowed than it caught his hand at
the base of the thumb, piercing his
flesh with its small, keen teeth. He
shook ii off, paying no other attention
to the wound, which rapidly healcd.-
The dog died few days after in our
composing room.
On Saturday evening last Mf. Sar-

SNIPE. "A man in years, accompanied
by beardless yet good-looking youth
of rather imaginary aspirations, who
some days ago conceived the idea of
hunting snipe, started from the First
ward yesterday afternoon, fully equip
ped and accoutered, and with ammuni-
ton enough to have supplied the Cuban
army for the next three months. AS
they boldly passed through First street,
they were the observed of all observers.
Reaching the meadows they turned
their faces to the loved ones whom they
were about to separate from, and after
one long, lingering fearful gaze, they
resumed their march, striking out in
the most desperate manner for the game
with which the meadows are said to
abound. Dusk coming upon them,
and tired of foundcring in the mud and
water, they started upon their return,
having "bagged" some ten dear little
snipe. The hunters finally reached the
drug store of Messrs. Rich and Buch-
holtz, where they quenched their thirst
in the soda, prepared by these enter
prising druggists, and where also they
narrated their many hair-breadth es-
capes from magnificent looking frogs
and blood thirsty mosquitoes, who be-
ing disturbed by squeaking boots, held
high carnival. 1t is but just Ito the
snipe, We mean, to state that the game
on being more closely examined, had a
younqish appearance, and the rumor
soon got abroad that the poor little
snipe had been obtained by the more
fraudulent use of sticks, instead of by
the weapons which they carried with
them, although ammunition was freely
exploded, yet to no apparent detriment
or injury to game or gamesters. 1t is
to be hoped that the "sports" who so
loudly rejoice over their combustible
achievements and consider themselves
heavy on "tick-tax," will hereafter be
moro ambitious to manifest military
requirements, and not secreto them
selves in ambush and mutilate the in
nocent nestlings, who are totally unable
to care for their own interests,

Bag There is to be an eclipse Of the
sun on the 7th of August next, which
will be total throughout large section
of the United States, upon path in
Guiding North Carolina and the south
ern part of Virginia, and running
northwest through Kentucky and Iowa
to Oregon. .s
The more favorable position for OBJ
serving this eclipse are as far west as
possible from the Atlantic seaboard.
Near our coast it will take place shortly
before sunset, and SO must be observed
when the sun is not far above the hori-
zon. Owing to the greater amount
and density of the intervening atmos-
pherc under these circumstances, u.s.
tronomers cannot make their observa-
tons to so much advantage as in locali'
ties where the eclipse viii occur at an
earlier hour in the day. This will be
the case further west.

BOYNTONS ELEVATED OVEN RANGE
0RTABLE SALAMANDER BOX BURNING
FURNACE, OF ALL SIZES,

This new and beautiful Range, which has Just
been completed, is now offered to the public as the
most complete, convenient and desirable Elevated
Oven Range in the market and is the result of long
experience in the manufacture and setting of Cook
ing Ranges ; and we do not hesitate in recommend
ing it the nearest to perfection of any Elevated
Oven Range in the country.
We will enumerate some of the peculiar advan-
tages this Range possesses
First-It is more beautiful in form and design
than any other pattern.
Second-It has much larger hot place Surface
for Boilers and Stew Pans, afording larger accom-
modations for Cooking purposes
Third-It has smaller Fire Chamber, and burns
less coal than any other pattern of Elevated Oven
Range, for the simple reason that the fire chamber
is entirely surrounded with fire brick instead of an
open CRATE in front and water back in the rear,
forming two sides of the fire las in all other pattern
ranges both of which chill and deaden the fire and
dctract largely from the power, and make it abso-
lutely necessary to burn larger amount of fuel
Fourth-The body of this Range is higher than
other patterns and is more like the French Kitch-
eners, making it much more convenient and easy
for the cook.
Fifth-The hot closets are more accessible
placed in natural position tbeing in the body of
the Range) instead of above the ovens as in other
patterns.
surface as to make it announcement in removing
the boilers, as in other patterns.
Scyenth-There are better arrangements for con-
veyng the steam to chimneys and controlling the
draft, than most ranges.
Eghth-The ovens bake more evenly, as we have
return fue the top of the oven (which is the
point that most often fails thus securing perfect
baking oven on the top well as on the bottom.
Ninth-The flues in this range are all complete in
themselves, that it is unnecessary to form them
of brick, (which absorbs the heat,) and makes the
setting of them much more simple and sure.
Tenth-The water back can be removed and the
plumbing work can be repaired if necessary, with
out disturbing the brick work

NGg~ A Cape May telegram tells lis
that the President yesterday reviewed
the Philadelphia Gray Reserves, and
that much enthusiasm prevailed. We
may be old fashioned, but we confess
to feeling of regret that the President
of the United States should thus set an
example of Sabbath Dissertation. II
wasn't at all necessary that this review
should take place on the Sabbath, and
this fact makes it appear like deliber-
ate affront to the prevailing sentiment
of the country as to Sunday observ-
