HYDRoPHoBIA IN HASoTER.-On Sunday
the 18th of February a pointer dog came
to the house of Mr.. 4. 3. Dabney, i'll the
upper end of Hanover county, and behaved
in such strange way-biting and scufiing
with the hogs and swapping Mt fowls in the
yard-that Mr.. Dabney's little boys stoned
him away, but he had gone but short dis
tance before he was taken with a fit. MIR.
Dabney then got his gun and followed the
dog about mile, and being satisfied that
he was mad, killed him. Mr.. Dabney
thinking it probable that one Of the hogs
had been bitten in the scufle put her W
and kept her in pen for nine days. Then
thinking there was no further danger, he
turned her out, and she was taken on the
second day with the hydrophobia and died
in two days. One of his hens was also
bitten by the dog and run mad and died ir
a few hours. The pointer was faTorite
bird-doS, the property of Mr.. G. Vaughan
who had been hunting with him the day
before. The dog came from MIR. Vaughan''

For the past few days there have been low mutter-

the repair chops at this point OF the great Eric high

The Great Cathedral at strasbourg.

We have before given an account in
these columns Of the great Cathedral and
Clock at Strasbourg. The following ex-
tract from letter bv Horace Rublee to
the Madison State Journal, describing
the condition of the Cathedral since the
surrender of the place to the Prussians,
will be read with interest:
CONDITION OF THE GREAT CATHEDRAL.
We next visited the famous Cathedral,
the spire of which is the highest in the
world, AMI unsurpassed for architectural
grace. 1t has many rude contusicns on
its ancient walls of reddish brown stone,
but fortunately has escaped any harm
that impairs its general effect. The most
serious injury perhaps was tho destruction
of much Of the fine old stained glass of
its windows. In many places the orna
mental scul pturing with which almost it,
whole surface is covered, has been broken
by shells, but such injuries can be repair
ed. A ball has passed through and
quite seriously injured the upper part of
the organ. There are on the tower and
other pats of the walls some deep scars
that caunot well be removed nor would
it be wise to do so, as hereafter they will
give new interest To the structure. A
cannon ball struck almost the summit of
the sEire, nearly five hundred feet high.
just at the foot of the stone cross that
terminates it. The cross is fastened bv
iron rods to the work below, and the i'm
pact of the ball has slightly knocked it
out of perpendicular, instead Of breaking
ii off, as it would have done but for the
iron support. The famous clock inside
tie church is uninjured. The upper roof,
which was of wood, was burned, but It's
absence is not observable to the specta
tor standing in the streets. The Cathed
raj was built when Strasbourg was a
German city; it is work of German
art; and the besiegers were no doubt as
anxious to spare it as any of the citizens.
The correspondents Of the German pa
per>, and the editors themselves, during
the siege, expressed the utmost solicilude
for its preservation.
Near the Cathedral is the house where
Klopsto ck, the German poet once lived.
Upon bracket, fixed on the corner, at

The following information is worth
needing: A lady Of Portland. (0regon,)
says that for nine years she has been
burning coal oil without ever having an
accident. She places small quantity of
coarse salt in the bottom of her lamps.
and not only by this means Is the oil
purified and the light made brighter, but.
on two different occasions ignited oil
amps have overturned in her house
through accident or carelessness Of ser.
wants, and vet there has never been an
explosion. The plnn is a simple one, and
aud well worth trying; for even il it
does not prevent accident. il will improve
the quality Of light. The salt sheuld be
changed every three months.
