On the thirteenth of February, Jewett
Butterfield, a policeman in the Port
land suburb of Cincinnati, was bitten on
the thumb by a strange greyhound,
which gave no sign of the rabies, and
the wound healed and the circumstance
was forgotten. On Tuesday last Butter

by a hundred needles. This was fol-
lowed by chills, which terminated in
lcOnvulsiOns. The latter occurred at in

creasing in intensity until the parOxysms
become horrible. The maidstone was

In London in the House Of Commons
Thursday night, through the active ex-
ertions Of the party whips, the benches
were well filled, and an exciting debate
on the course of the government at Ge-
neva ensued. The galleries were also
crowded, but both members and specta-
tors were disappointed, as the attempt
TO draw Mr.. Gladstone out on the Ala
bama claims failed. Hon. Mr.. Wynd-
ham, member for West Cumberland,
asked the government why the British
counter case was presented at Geneva
without the condition that the claim for
indirect damages should be withdrawn
by the American government. Mr..
Gladstone simply replied that he doubt
ed the policy OF answering questions
while the government was waiting for a
note from America which would prOba-
bly, form an epoch in tAis affair.

elnded. Forty or fifty influential gem

racy would be made. The tariff reform
and other topics were informally dis
cussed. d. Stewart, ID. c. HOlbrOOk and
F. w. Carlisle were appointed a com
mittee on correspondence. There will
