The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1869-07-08

A FEW days ago horse in Thornbury
Township, Chester County, Pa, was
seized with hydrophObia. The animal
had been confined in field, but by some
means got out of the inclosure into the
public road 1t attacked team that was
engaged in hauling stone to the railroad.
The driver of the team succeeded in driv
ing off the mad animal, and it Is not be-
lieved that it injured either of the horses
attached to the team. When the fit was
off, the poor brute would become very
weak-stagger, and fall. When the
spasms returned, it would again rise and
attack everything in its way. Several
persons were chased on to the tavern
porch, and one individual narrowly es-
capped being bitten. In its rage to bite,
it's own tongue was nearly bitten off
The animal was finally secured in lot,
where he died during the night, in great
agony.
