A few days ago Thomas j. Craycroft,
of Taylor township, Harrison county,
went into the forest near his residence
to feed large SOW, whose pigs were not
yet large enough to leave the bed. His
wife and little prattling girl, wishing to
see the pigs, accompanied him. The
father threw the sow some corn, and.
after eating afew mouthfuls, she started
towards the child, with her huge jaws
widely extended, making the most
frishtful demonstrations. Mr.. Craycreft,
seeing the peril of his child, sprang be.
tween it and the ferocious brute, at the
same time calling to his wife to take the
child away. Then commenced strug.
gle for life between Mr.. Craycroft and
the maddened brute. Being large and
powerful animal, she stood on her hind
feet and thrust her fore feet against the
breast of her victim with such tremen.
dous force as came near knocking him
down several times, meanwhile making
repeated efforts to bite or cut him about
the face and throat with her powerful
tusks. Mr.. Craycroft's only weapons of
defense were his feet and hands; and
in attempting to push the Infatuated
beast from his face he got his right hand
several times in her mouth, by which it
was frightfully mangled. The mother,
after running few yards, looked back,
and seeing her husbands life in peril,
set her child down, and, armed with a
club, started to his rescue; but before
she got in reach the husband had olsen
gagged himself enough to get hold of
club, with which he dealt his 6endish
antagonist several heavy blows be
fore she would desist; and even then
she made one effort to renew the con-
hict. The spectacle presented by the
victor as he walked painting from the
field was truly frightful. His clothing
was cut into shreds, and he was bospat-
tered from head to foot with blood,
mingled with foam and froth from the
mouth of the enraged monster. The
blood "squshed" in his shoes as he walk.
ed. Besides the mangling of the right
hand he received severe cuts about his
left hand and arm, and frightful cash
above his left knee.-N:w Albany lind. J

Investigation of Hydrophobia in Russia.

1t is claimed that some important
discoveries respecting the nature of by.
drophobia have been made lately in Rus.
STA, and one of the papers contributed
to the archives of judicial medicine is
devoted to this subject. In this com.
munication it is stated that since the
professor of pathological anatomy, NJ.
Kudnow, undertook his lectures on the
pathological anatomy of animals for
veterinary students, he has given par.
ticular attention to the subject of canine
madness, so many cases OF which come
within the scope of judicial veterinary
practice, while hitherto so few firm bases
for satisfactory diagnosis of the dis
ease have been obtained by opening the
animals. Being convinced that sure re-
suits codld only be arrived at by means
Of the microscope, M. Kudnow contin.
ued his researches, and with the aid of
that instrument made the discovery
which is now announced, namely, that
the main cause OF rabies is the anatomi.
cal alteration of the kidneys through
their parcncymatous inflammation.
This, he says, differs from other forms
of Inflammation, in that the whole cpl.
thelium OF the kidneys is diseased at
the same time, and that il easily degen.
crates, while the lobes of the kidneys
fill at the same time with fatty sub.
stance, by which the uniformly fatal is.
sue of hydrophobia is brought about.

Tue WIDOW OF GEORGE WAsHlNGToN's
OvERsEEE STILL LIvING.-On Marshall street,
in an humble residence, lives a lady now
nearly one hundred years old, the representa-.
tive of past age and of the ''better days OF
the Republic" We allude to the widow OF
the late Richard Young, for many years the
surveyor Of this city. Mrs. Young was LED
from the marriage altar to the home Of her
Young husband, who was then the overseer
of General Washington on his Mount Yer.
non estate, and he in the full flush of his
manhood.
Mr., Young was raised blacksmith, but
left his trade to take charge of the farm at
Mount Vernon. In the latter capacity ne de-
veloped considerable taste for and knowledge
of mathematics, and aSter the death of Gene
raj Washington he procured the situation OF
deputy under Mr.. John Williamson, then
surveyor of Henrico county and the city OF
Richmond. About the year 1905, the city
was authorized by act of the Legislature to
employ a surveyor for itself, and MIR. Young
was chosen to fill the position. He held the
office until his death, and was succeeded by
the late Micajah Bates, who also was removed
by death. Mr.. Young has long since been
gathered to his fathers, and there are proba-
bIy but few who remember him; but evil
denccs of his skill in engineering and accu-
racv of measurement are still visible on every
hand.

concealed from sight by the smoke which
settled around it.
This morning the heavens were darkened
by dense clouds of smoke and ashes, and q
strong wind carried the cinders and old sco-

stream of lava near San Sebastian is sixteen
feet deep, and the village Is still in danger Of
