an extraordinary case Of hydrophobia, 0
parallel to which has probably never been
recorded In the medical books, has oc.
CURED In West Philadelphia. The facts al
reiated by physician were as follows:
a niue girl on returning home from
SCHOOL IN the afternoon was greeted by her
pet uog' which began jumping and barking
around her in an unusual way. To drive
nun away she took the skirt OF her dress
ana shook 1t at him.. This seemed to ir1I.

Worried at the injury to the garment. the
little grl, without mentioning the matter
to any Of the family, went to her room. and
getting q needle and thread proceeded to
sew up the torn place. When 1t was fin
ished she bent down her head, and taking
the end of the thread between her teeth.
bit 1t off.
Nine days after the occurrence of this In
cident symptoms of hydrophobIa mani
tested themselves In the unfortunate little
Girl. Skilled medical talent was called in,
and every appliance that science could
afford to relieyc the sufferer was resorted
to: but the subtitle poison had done It's
work too thoroughly tor human skill to
avail, and the little girl has since died.
Drs. Watson, Youatt, and other eminent
authorities on the subject, have contended
that hydrophobia cannot be communicated
through an unbroken cuacle. Whether the
little girl swallowed aportion OF the saliva,
or whether it was communicated through
| her lip, the skin of which may have been
chapped" or broken, we cannot say !;
but certainly in either case the occurrence
was as remarkable as it was unfortunate. 1t
teaches another sad lesson to parents not to
have pet dogs around the house with young
children.

We wish 1t distinctly understood that having OBJ
tained for the Wilcox & Gibbs Machine all the
empty honors we de.ire In the way Of gold ard

only. Thanking the managers for the opportunity
to exhibit our machines, we decline competing
for or receiving any award eff merit in the way Of
prizes or diplomas, leaving these for these who
desire to obtain them. We prefer to rest upon
our already established merits
The above is published to refute the false state
that 1t was decided The superior OF any machine

ESCAPE or TWO CoNvIcrs. Last Friday night
two convicts, George Hollis and Charles Curtis
the former sent from Branch comfy in May,
1859, for three years for ROBBERY, and the latter
from Macolm county in 1888, for rape, to serve
fve years-escaped from prison, and have not
as yet been captured. The two men were en-
ploysd about the stables, and that night re-
mained out after the usual hours to complete
some work, requesting to be called at O'Clock.
At this time they turned up missing.
No one thought of their attempting to es-
cape, as Hollis would have been discharged this
morning. new suit Of clothes and 81 having
been laid out FOR hm-and Curtis had only SIX
months to serve. Hollis, it seems, was labor
ing under the Imoression that he would not be
allowed his ''good" time. aud would therefore
be compelled to serve his full sentences out,
from the fact that he had refused TO work, a
few days previously.
