Increase In the public Debt.

The public debt statement for December shows
an increase of more than million and halt in
the last month. How is this Mr.. Boutwell,? Has
the TACT that election is over caused this exhibit
In administration quarters the increase OF the
debt is accounted tor as follows: The internal
revenue receipts during the month of December
amounted to only $S,2li,37l, which was much
smaller than had been estimated. The other cur
rency receipts were merely nominal, and the tax
on national banks, which was due on December
3lst does not appear the returns in the depart
ment, and was, therefore, not Included in the re-
cslpts The customs receipts also fell short OF the
estimates. The opinion is expressed in the same
quarters that the next debt statement will show a
larger pTopOrtonate decrease by reason of the co..
leotohs which will have been made By that time
and which properly belonged in the December ac'
count '-. t"

HydrophObIa In a Railway Car.
7rom the Poughkeepsie Eagle.


When the o'clock express on the Hudson
River Railroad left New York on Christmas Eve
Mayor Eastman was one of the passengers on the
first car ahead of the first sleeper Two or three
seats from him sat finely dressed and notebook
ing man, who suddenly gave a frightful shriek
and snapped and barked like dog. The passen-
gers sprang to their feet, some of them making
for the door panic stricken The stranger seized
the back Of the seat in front of him. and, barking
again, grated his teeth, and closed his mouth on
the top OF the seat back, tearing out strips of
wood with his teeth, ana splitting them out on
the floor, Mayor Eastman and one or two others
rushed forward to him, and cndcayored to hold
him, but were unsuccessful His strength seemed
supcrhuman. His eyes rolled wildly, and he
seemed to be in agony. A cup of wafer was
handed him, upon seeing which he seized the
edge of the metallic cup between his teeth aud
bit piece out of il clean Us though il had been
cut with knife. \ breakman now arrived and
aided the passengers At length, by uverpower
ing Numbers, the man was compelled to lie down
in the seat. BY the time the train reached Peek
skill he had quieted down considerably. All
efforts 10 ascertain who he was proved unavaing

was made in Utica. He had several boxes filled
with Christmas gifls. Some of the passenger,

felt convinced that it was a case of hydrophobia
He was evidently gentleman of means.

their little Stories which have meanwhile been
carefully concocted and made TO tally with each
other. The letters which Dawes Garfield and other
recipients OF the cnriching stock wrote last sum
mer denying all knowledge of il will be kept out
OF sight, and there will be n general confession in
the style of an Old-fashioncd Methodist love
feast When this has gone abroad the committee
Will begin short sessions with open doors, and
witnesses will be examined, who will each occupy
a day or two, but who will know nothing or,
rather, tell nothing not already told and known.
All this time the end of the session will be draw
