Bow Bitten by a Mad Dog.

from the ST. Joe Gazette of Wednesday,
Deputy Sheriff T. c. Craig informed
us last night of a case of hydrophobia
which occurred in Plattsburg yesterday
morning. The following are the par
ticulars as near as we can learn them:
A little boy aged about II years, son of
the widow Gibson, vas playing with
another little fellow in the house of a
neighbor. They were running about
the house, and INDUCING in nearly all
kinds of boyish tricks when a small dog
jumped at young Gibson, and fastened
its teeth in his arm. He hung on to the
boy, until his cries attracted the atten-
ton of some persons in the house, and
not until the dog was caughtAby the
ears and pulled from tho position, did
he let go his tenacious grip The dog
was Immediately shot, and several
physicians pronounced him as being
under the influence of that dreaded dis
ease, hydrophobia. Mrs. Gibson started
for st. Joseph as o as possible, and
arrived here last night. She was ter
| ribly troubled on account of her boy,
but thought that the mad stone, about
which so much has been said, w0uld
cure him. The little fellow did not
seem to be frightened, and his friends
very wisely kept him thinking Of some
thing else. Mrs. Gibson procured a
buggy, and left for Savannah last night.
The wounds are very severe and the
suffering of the boy must be very great.
1t is to be hoped that he will be cured,
as he is a bright looking little fellow,
and full of pluck.

A Rich story.

A correspondent sends the following
In the first settlement Of California,
pieces Of solid gold were termed
'.lumps." 1t was on this occasion that
a young man and wife settled in the
mines to try their luck, and
were shortly BLESSED with a large boy,
weighing twelve pounds. 1t was soon
rumored that Mt. B. had taken out
a underground lump. The rumor was
attended with u curiosity and wonder
as to the truth of the matter. One day
two gentlemen, finely dressed, came 10
see Mr.. B., and Mrs. B-came to the
door. After the common saiutatiOn,
the conversation began as follows:
Gent.-sIs Mr.. B-at homer
Mrs. B.. .'No, sir he has gone to
town. Did you wish to see him?n
Gent.-.Ycs, ma'am; We understood
that he had taken out q underground
lump. Is it trues" 49,
Mrs. B.. (Wishing to carry on
the joke.) Its true
Gent.-.'Indeed! has he any one
helping himw
Mrs. B.. "None save what / give
him."
Gent.-.tOh! it's very neal here, is
it?n
Mrs. B. .'very ~private.-
Gent.-.Do you think he would sell
a share in the claim?"
Mrs. B-.'No, sir; assure you he
would not"
Cent wish you good day.
Mrs. B. 81 can show you the
lump" So saying, she uncovered the
sleeping babe.
"Sold, by thunderr" said one of the
men, and boltcd out of the house.
