raleigh AND CASTOR RAlLRoAp.-Ihc
stockholders of this road met III annual
meeting at the office of the company, IN
this city, on yesterday. A very large NUN.
Der of stockholders were present, and great
interest was taken in the proceedings OF
the meeting. Much Of the time OF the SEES
sion was occupied in the discussion OF the
question of salaries of their principal Oh
Lcers-president, secretary ana treasurer
and Superintendent. \ resolution ltIIo-
duced bv MIR. Plumer, declaring the SAID
RIGS ut present paid these othcers eNor-
bitantly high, passed after much discussion.
An amendment to the resolution, fixing the
SINE bv the stockholders, was lald upon
the table, as it was the sense Of tue meeting
that the board of directors, having been H.
structed by the stockholders, were the
proper persons to make the necessary re-
duction.
Mr. Paul Cameron introduced resolu-
ton in regard to the lease OF the North
Carolina road, denouncing the same, ana
moved that DR.. Hawkins and Hon. IL. L.
Battle be appointed committee TO use
every legal means to resist any such action
on the part Of certain parties on behalf OF
the North Carolina railroad. He also made
a short speech in regard to the subject, and
therein denounced the attempt on the part
of the Pennsylvania Central corporation to
control this and other roads. The resolu-
ton and motion passed.
After some other business of no public
interest, the meeting proceeded to elect
Board Of Directors for the ensuing year.
The old Board were reelected, and Mr..
Paul c. Cameron in the place of George
Mordecai, deceased Raleigh Telegram.
Our Raleigh correspondent gives us the
names of the Board: w. j. Hawkins, Paul
c. Cameron, a. NJ. McPheeters. j. b.

adds:
CDR. w. j. Hawkins was reelected prcsi-
dent. Captain A. B. Andrews superlntend-
emit, w. W. Fass treasurer.
President Hawkins presented his report,
which shows the company to be in pros
porous condition. and that the work Of eX-
tending the road IS being pushed forward

HORRIBLE HYDRoPHoBIA.-some three
weeks ago Mr.. Richard McNulty, employed
In the car shop Of the Morris and Essex
depot, in this city, was bitten by dog. at
the time no attention was paid to the wound,
and it was not until last Saturday that it
assumed anything of an alarming charac-
ter. On Sunday Mr. McNulty and his
child, a little girl, were out walking. While
out he drank glass Of lemonade, which
occasioned such unpleasant sensations that
he called upon doctor, who told him that
he displayed premonitory symptoms of by
drophobia. Mr. McNulty then returned
home, and soon after, upon attempting to
swallow some water, was seized with Vio-
lent paroxysms, causing him to dash him
SELF about the room, at the same time snap

AN USc oMMoNLY-D lsAGREEABLE LITTLE
BEAsT.-ODe Of the most curious and inter
esting papers in the English magazines fnr
July is Mr.. Leakey's account in ST. PdnEs
of the "Tasmanian Devil" THUS is little
beast about the size of large bulldog, but
marsupial, still found in the wlids OF van
Diemen's Land. 1t differs in temper radl-
cally from every know beast, and Is mus
described:
ellis natural propensities are those of
the eluttonous or slugS,sn KIM, a"u ",
flesh and lett to undisturbed repoSc, but
the slightest provocation, the. mereSt
and most unintentional observation, will
turn him at once into veritable lend. lie
then becomes instantly the very type. OF
senseless fury, attacking all before him,
dead or living, and flying with equal fierce
ness at a mastiff or barn door. Nor is
there, while life is left to him. either truce
or quarter; as long as shred OF flesh re-
mains to tear or last bone to shatter he
fiphts on, rega1 dless ofthe numbers that sur
ronnd him or of his own subsd!ng strength,
until at length his jaws snap family, and
his life goes gradually out with an Internal
snarJ. Though taken young, and brought
up in captivity, his nature undereoes not
the slightest modification. He lives to the
last the same surly life, and usually dies in
some mad struggle with the bars Of his
cage. After years of experience he repeats
the same acts OF protitless and exhaustin g
frenzy. Without apparent motive he rushes
| at the wall, beating the air like rabid lu-
| matte, uttering long growls that seem to
choke him, till they break out suddenly
INTO a piercing bark. He shows not
the smallest attachment to his guar
| dams or keepers, whom he E,enaccs
and swears at from the moment they
approach him till they pass completely
out of sight. When tired-out or over-fed
be becomes stupid and sleepy, rolls himself
up in corner, and falls into q leaden SUM
Der, from which it is not always easy to
rouse him. Nothing can be cheaper than
to feed him. He will be satisfied for days
together with huge bones, which he cracks
up like biscuit, and usually swallows en-
tirely."
No animal can fight him, and he has ire
ouently been known to beat on o Whole
troop of dogs, and his insane fury gives MIN
an inextinsuishable courage. Mr.. Leakey
aitacked one with five dogs, who would
have been defeated, but that one of them
wore an armed collar.
