Two weeks ago yesterday, Mrs. S. Z. NJ
who lives at NO.-BlaDk street, was playing
with little pet dog, only three months old.
While thus engaged, two children came IN
from a neighbOr' house, and taking them on
the sofa she transferred to them her atien-
tions. Asa servant who CHANGED to be in
the room expresses il, +" the dog became sp-
psrently Jealous Of the children, and 10 re-
yenge bit Mrs. NJ" His teeth made two
little scratches, one near the thumb, the
other on the wrist. Such scratches as might
be produced by a pin, the blood flowing
from neither. Immediately after inficting
the wound, the dog ran directly from the
room, was chased upstairs where be leaped
upon the bed, caught the pillows betWeef
his teeth, shook them violently, biting them
,nssntime, then rushed ike a wild thing from
the house and into the back yard where be
was killed.
Mrs. n. paid apparently but little atten-
ton 10 the two trifing scratches. At any
rate il was not until evening, seven or eight
hours after, that she called on Dr.. Pulte, and
had the little matter attended TO. The doc
tor cauterized the wounds with nitrate oi
silver, and in this tEeatment be has perse-
yered.
Mrs. NJ. has continued to sttend 10 her
Ettle home duties, bestoWing no attention
aud NO thought to the matter. She has oc-
casiOnaIly felt . slight sickness at her
stomach, and it has been noticed that hsI
appetite was somewhat irregular. The doc
tor appears to have been more concerned
about the matter, and has on more than one
occasion expressed his fears Of a fatal result

ON the part of the doctor and friends, at last
had the effect Of causing Mrs. II. TO deter.
mine to pay visit to Mrs. WOrmsley, lady
whs resides at Oleves, and who ia said to
own maidstone The visit was to be made
on Saturday, but when Saturday afternoon
came, drizzling shower prevented the trip
Yesterday noon, two ladies' we're abOui

Glare, her limbs stiffened, from her mouth
issued the terrible evidences of hydTOphObia
aud with a wild scream she cried that the
dog was near her.
There Is little need TO follow the awful
scene that enEued no need TO picture the
horror.stricken faHily the hasty cry for help
the moments that passed before that help
came, each moment seeming q century, the
fearful helplessness that oVerPowered every
one who tkOught to bring aid, the utter ign0-

mani II Ssas resolved TO aesk at once for The
Maidstone. fcr where else 70 turn no one
knew.
Messengers were at once dispatched fol
Mrs. Wormsley, and late last night the stone
was brought. During the intervening hours
the awful sDasms which are the cOncOmitanta
Of hydrophobia continued, their fury lasting
from three 70 ten minutes, when they would
release their hold The physicians in attend
suce, began to despair Of the case, and all
bope seemed to be lost. About eleven o'clock
the little stone was applied, and when our
reporter visited the house, about midnight
the lady was more quiet. During the hour
hut a single spasm had occurred. and that oi
not such violence as had characterized the
previous attacks. Our reporter was allowed
10 enter The room where the patient was ly-
ing. -Four persons we're present, three ladies
and a gentlemsn. One of the ladies was
holding the patients hand in her Owl, and
on the back Of the hand the stOue was cling

an inch, and its breadth half as much. In

faith, telling Of strange cures it had perform

We had been examining the stone fora Few
minutes when suddenly the patient raised
her ewes and saw bending over her The face
of a stranger. With q scream thst thrilled
The heart, making the blood run cold with
horror, she leaped from the bed, and amid
Eobs and cries shouted her fear Of the pur-
suing dogs. We left the room at once, and
she speedily became more quiet and when
We departed from the house, was again breath
ing regularly, and was free from all delirium.
How this awful case may terminate, We
cannot, of course, tell. Should the stone

and assuring to know that Mrs. Wormsley
