nrdrophohln. fnd what Is I'M

Thirty years ago, says tho New York
Express, q room.mate Of the writer died
Of this disease. He was renowned
maker or rifles. His weakness was the
dog; hewould pick up fancy canineswith
out masters-had ten 10 twenty otcner-
less animals in his kennel. In sportiye
moments, we said: "Brunker, yoti will
yet die of dogs-mad dogsl" he
laughed. One Sunday afternoon, in
his rambles, he picked up q stray little
"King Charles spaniel, in Lockport,
N. Y. The dog bit him in the wrist ;
he threw him down in disgust, and
thought no more Of the incident. After
the lapse Of six weeks, he complained
that his right wrist failed him. Soon
after he Ind repugnance to water, but
could drink cider. Next day he could
not drink cider, but crayed vinegar.
On a Sunday evening, he came TO the
hotel and said to the writer: "Iant go
ing mad n "Brunker, / will give you
q glass Of water; take it-drink It."
And when i placed.the glass Of water
in his hand m involuntary spasm came
over him, and the contents went into
the fire. Then / knew no was mad and
became nervous and called upon others
10 asist to take'care ofthis man. While
the writer was absent he went into his
room and tore the bed-clothes in oil
shapes. Awindow was above the door.
Stepping upon the shoulders Of an as
sistant and opening the window, we
shouted TO Bunker, "Here / am what
is the matter with you?" Meantime
the door was held firmly at the out
side. Soon Brunker regained his COM
posuro and told us!to enter the room, as
the fltwas OF and all danger over: Stall
wart men beside us wayered; but We en-
tered. We went 10 q drawer and took
o sash or iace.muilier, and pinioned his
arms with il, as he requested. Soor
another and another spasm succeeded,
He said the voluntary muscles had be
come involuntary; and II he did injury
h6 could not avoid 1t. This lasted q
hours, during which poor Brunker had
lucid intervals and knew his forlorr
condition; but the rational moments
between spasms, became less and les
till he died.
This was the most developed case o
hydrophobia the writher ever Witnessed
Siiee then lie has seen two dogs mad
but chained. Pouring water from on,

It seems now To be conceded that

Mr.. Melllsh, OF N. Y, moved oslriko out Of

said fhat Il was time that this great American
Bwindlo was abollAhed. Mr.. ClNnef, Of Pa,
sustained the amendment, and reviewed the
action Of Congress on tho repeal Of The Salary
bill, saying that when the Senate Eubstitutowas
agreed to In tho House II was stated publicly
and privately that when the proper time came
tho mileage portion Of that substitute would be
struck out. Tho mileage feature Of their pay
had been always deemed odlons BY The American
people, His colleague OR. Smith, had shown
that Sl0G, 900 had been paid 10 members Of tho
last Congress for mileage, while the actual
travelling expenses for this session, with 10
additional members, was only ei60O0. He had
shown, therefore, that s2O0 900 was giyon away
in this manner, and ho submitted that tho sum
was worth saving. Mr.. Tremain, Of N. Y,
argued that as tho present Congress had de.
llberatoly declared that the compensation Of
members should DO $1,000 and mileage, the
House was bound to ltgislale In conformity
with that.

Adjournment of the Hearing.

ON Tuesday afternoon at = o'clock, the
time set for the hearing of the case of
State vs.. Henry Hudson, for assault with
intent to kill, upon the person of Lcmuel
Streetcr of Castleton, an account of which
occurrence, on Saturday last, appeared IN
THE GLOBE of Monday morning, the re-
spondent appeared at the office of NJ. II.
Cook, Esq, at Castleton, in charge Of
Deputy Sheriff 7. p. Smith of Caslleton.
The case was under charge of Justice H.
o. Brown; the respondent was represented
by Col. {. II. Joyce of Rutland and II. /.
Clark of Castleton as counsel the prose-
cution by State Attorney L. ]. Ormsbee,
assisted by NJ. III. Cook, who issued the
warrant for the prisoners arrest on Satur-
day.
DR.. Burton, the physician in care of the
wounded man, was present and stated for
the information of the Court that his pa
tient was confined to his bed that in his
judgment it would not be judcious to re-
move him. in his present condition from
his house, a distance of n mile and half
from Castleton village that although the
removal would not cndanger his life It
would cause him great pain and suffering
and unless it was absolutely necessary he
did not think it best that the patient should
be made to attend upon the hearing.
In view of the facts as stated by the
physician, on motion of States Attorney
Ormsby and with the concurrence of the
counsel for the respondent, the Court Or
dered that the examination be continued
until Friday, the 10Th inst, at . o'clock, p.
M, at the same place, and that the respon-
dent he held to bail in the same sum fixed
at the time of the preliminary hearing,
viz 81, 800.
Dr. Burton gave it as his opinion that
Mr.. Streeter would in all probability be
able to be in attendance at that time
We understand that the deposition of the
the facts of the shooting and that they diff
fer materially from the statements of the
prisoner, given in our issue of Monday
that he states that Hudson drew his pistol
before any scuflle occurred, and told
Streeter to take care that he (Streeter) at
tempted TO ward off the aim of Hudson in
vain, and that the shooting Immediately
took place. We also learn that the wife
of Strectcr has left him and seems to side
with the defense
Considerable excitement was manifested
in Castcton on Tuesday afternoon, and the
hearing was attended by quite crowd of
interested spectators.
Deputy Sheriff Smith returned to Rut-
landon the afternoon freight with his prs
oner and recommitted him to Jail to await
the time fixed for his examination on Fri
day Of next week.

The Suffering I'm Louisiana.

New ORLEANS, May D.
a. i. Wards, writing TO the Picayune
from Black River, says the country is sub
merged deeper than it was in 1867. Among
the people there has been privation, and in
some instances he says; Picture to your
mind the condition Of the locality, when
helpless widows and children are condemn
ed to fight against starvation with two and
a half ears of coru day"
After mentioning other cases of destilu-
ton, the writer concludes; 90 But for the
timely arrival of supplies from the relief
committee Of New Orleans, the suffering
here would have been intense. 1t thrills
me with horror to contemplate what our
condition would have been had not this
hcaven-sent charity reached us in time.
May donors never know what it is to want.
If they could witness the effect of their
noble acts, they would fully realize that it
Is more blessed TO give than to receive.

Grand Concert.

On Saturday evening, the 10th inst, our
music-loving citizens will be entertained
with concert at the Opera House by the
celebrated Halls orchestra of Boston, as
sisted by Miss Graziella Ridgwav, the pop
ular soprano. This band is under the com
potent leadership of Mr.. d. C. Hall, and Is
composed of thirteen musicians, all solosts
of acknowledged ability There are three
violins, viola, violincello, double bass,
two French horns, flute, cornet, clarionet,
bugle and trombone. Mr.. Rhodolph Hall
accompanies the orchestra as solo cornet
soloist, which is Il decided acquisition, as
he is by far the best cornet player in New
England He has been great tavorite in
Boston musical circles for sometime, and
his abilities are at once appreciated and
considered pre-eminent by good judges.
Miss Ridgway has gained great popular
ity rs Il vocalist throughout long and bril-
liant career in this country and Rutland is
to be congratulated in having an opportu-
nifty to hear her excellent voice. She is I'M
doubtedly the best female vocalist who has
visited Rutland the past year, and will, no
doubt, be greeted with due appreciation by
Rutland people who love good music.
