A young man named James Finley, aged about
seventeen years, was yesterday morning at
tackled with unmistakeable signs of hydropho-
bia, while in the discharge of his duties in one
of the hotels in this city. During the afternoon

wound until within few days, when he began
to feel pain in the healed wound upon the leg.
