AN instance at once of gross inhumanty
and admirable personal bravery, is furnished
by disaster to the brig Manly off the bar at
Drogheda, Ireland. A life e.boatman was in
sight of the wreck, and obstinately refused to
go to the assistance of the drowning wretch
es, when young lady, whose act throws the
exploits of Ida Lewis in the shade, pushed off
in small boat, and succeeded in saving one
man. Notwithstanding her efforts, at the
risk of her own life, six persons ,were drown
ed, who might have been saved had the life
boat-man performed his duty.

Fearful Case of Hydrophohin.

Among the prisoners in the PENNSYLVANIA
Western Penitentiary there is a young Ger
man suffering from that dreadful disease, hy-
drophobia. He is about twenty-eight years of
age, and was member of the Virginia cav
airy. In the spring of 1865, when near
Lyuchburg, his company wos ordered to sack
railway freight depot, when a large dog
Jumped upon him and bit him on the back of
the neck. K A comrade of 1.-The prisoner killed
the dog, and the man was taken to the hos
pital where the wound was dressed. Nine
days after this occurrence. the man was seiz-
ed with convulsions, and so violent did he be-
come that he soon alter was discharged from
the army and returned to his home. He had
oeen with his parents but short time when
MS father died, leaving him 5000 with
whlch to visit Europe and be treated for the
awful disease from which he was suffering.
Ihls, lie did, and under advice of several
Engsh doctors, to whom, in London. he
stated his case, be proceeded to Berlin where
ne was treated for about six months. At the
end OF TINS time, having gone through nearly
all his funds, he returned to America. and
ABOUT one year ago made his appearance in
Pittsburg. He had not been long in the citv
until he was arrested on charge of larceny
tried, found guilty,and sentenced to the West
ern Penitentiary.
Shortly after his incarceration he was seized
with coGvulsions and consigned to the hospi-
tai. A few days ago, while sitting on the
edge of bath tub in the hospital department,
dog which had found his way into the chap
ell adjoining suddenly began to bark, which
caused the man to fall into the bath tub in a
terrible fit. On getting out of the fit he
dropped upon bis hands and knees and began
to bark at his keepers; his eyes glaring and of
that brilliant appearance which the organs of
vision present in cases of insanity. Foam
ing at the mouth, he crept over to a pan con-
tanning water, and STOPPING down, Tapped it
up exactly after the manner OF dog. In this
condition he remained for some hours, pre-
senting most lrighttul appearance. Several
physicians have seen him, and all admit that
nothing so terrible ever came under their no
tice before. Their only wonder is how the
unfortunate man survives at all. The physi-
clan OF the institution entertains hopes of say.
ing the mans life, but they are very slight.
He has adopted new remedy known as
chloral hydrate, which he is of the opinion
has slightly improved the condition of the
sufferer.

late number of the Buffalo Commerci; I
contains the following notice of group of
curIosities on exhibition at the fair in that
city: q.
A case OF beautiful curiosities is exhibited
by David Bel, the principal object in tie case
being magnificent rams head, the laage
horns tipped with silver and cairngorm stones.
In the crown of the head is inserted a silver
snuff "mulP and cigar case, the lids of which
are adorned with huge cairngorms. There
are two miniature busts in marble one of
Robert Burns and one OF Sir Walter Scott;
figures OF "Tam o'Shanter' and "Sonter
Johnnie; relics from the land of Burns and
Scott; an antique Highland brooch; the
champion silver QUOT of the United States;
two beautiful challenge medals-one OF them
belonging to the grand national curling club
the other being intended by Mr.. Bell tor the
curlers of his native parish amidst the hills
o'auld Scotia. The greatest curiosity in the
case, perhaps, is what is said TO be the small
lest steam engine in the world; 1t sits on a
gold dollar and not entirely covers the sur
face. The stroke of its piston is only one
eight OF an inch. 1t has fly wheel; is COM
plete in every respects, and capable of being
set a-going at a most rapid rate.

THE HEIRS OF RICHARD HARRIsoN.-A
meeting of those members of the Harrison
family resident in America, was held at the
Boston Hotel, Saturday forenoon, for the pur-
pose of seeing what steps could be taken for
the recovery of certain landed property in
England. l. seems that in 1868, person of
the name of Richard Harrison died at place
called Lovely Lane, Lancaster, England, leav-
ing property to the value of about So 100000.
In 1864 Richard Hargraves obtained posses
sion BY a decree in the court of chancery of
all the personal property of the deceased, and
the real estate still remains unclaimed. The
ouy relatives at present known to be living
In England are descendants of Richard Harri-
sons grandmother's sister, while the descend
ants of the deceased Richards four uncles are
known to be in this country. An association
has been formed with Salmon Harrison, South
Addison, N. T., as President; Almon II. Har-
rison, Pittsfeld, Mass, as Secretary, and Co.
lumbus Smith, of Salisbury, VT, as agent, aud
as soon as proper evidence can be collected
here relative to the pedigree of the different
branches OF the Harrison family, work will be
commenced in earnest by an agent being sent
to England.

HUNTING Down A MILLIoNNAIRE.-The
following story is told by the San Francisco
Chronicle, of Meiggs, the great railway Prince
of Peru, who ran away in debt, from San
Francisco, some years ago:
Mrs. Josslyn is washerwoman, and works
very hard Tor her living. In the pamy days
OF Harry Meiggs she deposited With him no
less an amount than $500, and when Meiegs
and her money were gone, the time in which
woman could lay up so large a sum from
the profits of her business was gone also.
But she washed on, and kept her head above
water. Some two or three months ago she
read in the Overland Monthly, or some other
publication, of how much money her old
banker had made in South America by build
ing railroads, and with beautiful in human
nature, which cannot be too highly commend
ed, she embarked upon the Panama steamer
and wended her way to the sultry south,
where Meiggs holds sway. She sought the
millionaire in the gorgeous residence so
graphically described in the Overland and
presented her bank book and told her tale
Meiggs listened, and when she had finished
he handed her a check for the amount of the
deposit and interest from It's date to the time
of payment. She departed a wealthier and a
happier woman, and returned to San Fran
cisco, where she arrived by the last steamer.
