New YORK is in II fever of excite
ment about hydrophoba, The death
of Mr. Butler, of Brooklyn, from the
disease, followed in Il few days by that
of Mr.. VIM. Mccormick, in the city of
New York, together with the report of
an increase of dogs afflicted with the
disease, caused the panic. In the case
of Mccormick a number of eminent
physicians and surgeons took part in
the autopsy of the body, had under the
coroner's orders. The autopsy lasted
two hours and a half, was thoi oughly
exhaustive in its character, aud was
conducted with unusual care and skill
The determination is evident among
the New York medical profession to
now give this important subject n
thorough examination. The difficulty
has heretofore been to ascertain what
peculiar lesion is present in hydropho-
bia; whether the poison of rabies acts
directly upon the blood or upon the
nerves. This question the profession
will now attempt to solve-opinlon
being now about equally divided,
1t is a curious fact that the two dogs
whose bites caused the death of Mr..
Butler and Mr.. Mccormick, were pet
house dogs.

A FULL bench of the supreme court
of Massachusetts has decided that the
school committee board is sole judge
of its own membership. The legisla-
ture has clearly manifested the inten-
ton that the decision of the school
committee of Boston, like that of each
of the boards elected by the people to
serve as their representatives, in the
government of the city, should he con-
elusive upon the subject of the rights
of any person toa seat as member
thereof, and that no question of law or
fact involved in that decision should
be open to revision by judicial proceed
ings. This decision sllstains the nc
ton of the Boston board in refusing
seats to women, and the latter must go
to the legislature to obtain that privi-
lege.

Poetry in a Police Court.

"Great spoons, what are you doing
here ?" exclaimed his honor, as Tho mas
Dougherty, man of seventy-fve, was
handed out. His gray locks waved on
the morning breeze, and his trembling
limbs could hardly sustain his body.
"They said was drunk" answered
the old man, sadly.
"Well, I don't care if you were,"
continued his honor, canaan of seventy
five has special rights and privileges
which I, for one, shall respect. You
can go, old man. Do you suppose that
I'd send an old man like you up there
to tackle corn-beef and mushP No,
sir if you've got any home, go there I;
if you haven't, come up and stay all
night with me. Send you up Why,
old man, some day this summer as you
sit in your armchair on the shady
porch, your pipe will die out and ia !
from your aged hand. You will sleep.
The sound of faint, sweet music will
reach your ear, and in your dream you
will see the faces of wife, sons, an
daughters-those laid away years ago,
before the frosts of time whitened your
hair. Some one will come to wake you.
They will see your smile and wonder if
the dreams of the old man are thus
blissful. They will touch you and
start back. The old man will have
gone to his rest. Go, now, old man
may the world be kind to you"
