A Terrible Case Of Hyd rOphobia.


The PittstOn pa Gazette gives the following
particulars of a most distressing case OF hydro
VhObia:-A bout eleven weeks ago a young lady
named Cox, daughter of Miles Cox, of Stod-
dardsville, went into the yard to kill some
chickens The dog followed her, and picking
up one of the chickens ran off with il. She
chased him with stick to recover it, and coming
up with him he turned upon her and bit her in
the arm, decorating il fearfully. Her mother
and brother coming to the rescue. were also
badly bitten by the Infatuated beast. The
wounds healed, however, and nothing more was
thought of the matter. The young woman was
engaged to be married to young man living at
GOldsbOro', named Alfred kerrick, and the
wedding was appointed TO come of at that place
about two weeks ago. On the wedding morning
a. ste was about TO perform her abutions
the sight OF water sent a SILVER through her
whole system and frightened her, and at the
breakfast table the coffee had such an effect
upon her that she spilled il over the table
She then complained of feeling unwell, and her
friends advised her to remain at home but she
said she did not want to disappoint AL, and, ac-
eompan;ed by sister, proceeded TO GOldsboro,
where the wedding ceremony was performed
Immediately after this che was seized with
sPaSms, bearing all the indications of HYDRO
PhObia. In one of her lucid intervals she
warned the company that she would bite them
II they did not keep away from her. "Rut,"
said she to her husband, .'Al, Won need not be
afraid. won't bite you" In one of her parox-
isms she bit lady who was endeavoring to
sOOthe her. 10 was the wife of Doc. Hoffman,
who drives the stage from Goldsboro to the Sand
Cut, on the Delaware, Lackawana and Western
Railroad Soon after AS uring her husband that
she would rot bite him she was seized with con-
WILSON'S. ard, laying back in his arms, died.
We have seldom been called upon to record so
sad a case as this. For one moment happy
bride and then the victim OF a horrid death.
The other members of the family who were bit
ten by the dog have not, a. yet, displayed any
SYMPTOMS of the disease, but they live in hourly
dread.
