Case of Rabies.

MRtGDIroR: Permit me in your columns

strange and unusual case of canine rabidness
which recently occurred in the fourth district
near Black Horse. A dog belonging to DR..
). L. Payne, evincing symptoms Of rabidness,
was confined, upon which it refused to par
take of food, but strange to say, the presence
OF water failed toproduce the spasmodic con-
lortions usually attending such cases, water
neihg drank until within two hours of DEATH
The animal, previous to being confined, had
bitten another dog and numter of hogs,
all Of which soon after became rabid, being
affected similarly to the first
Dr: Payne seems to regard it as rather
peculiar feature of the malady, there being
evidently little doubt of the animals being
rabld, from the fact that others bitten were
similarly affected CIV.

AN EXCELLENT APPoINTMENT.-We I'M
derstand, says the Cumberland (Md) Times,
that Hon. John w. Davis, of Baltimore, late
State Treasurer, has been rendered the posi-
ton of General Agent of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company. This is new of.
hce, created by reason Of the ever increasing
trade of that corporation. The duties of the
new position will embrace general super
vision of the entire affairs of the company,
and is intended in a measure to relieve the
vice presidents ola portion of their onerous
labors. 1t is almost unnecessary to say of so
widely known gentleman as Mr.. Davis that
the selection is a most fortunate one for the
company. Mr.. Davis is justly esteemed
wherever he is known for his courtly manner
and pleasant bearing, and those who may
have business with the new office will ever
have an agreeable official to meet.

THE New ASSESSMENT LAw.-By singu-
lar error or the omission of certain words in
the new assessment law, it is stated it will
likely occasion some trouble The law as it
stands provides "that all property real, per-
sonal or mixed, of all kinds and descriptions
whatever in the State" Except certain de-
scriptions ofproperty named in detail,) "shall
be exempt from taxation for State and local
purposes" The letter of the law would
therefore appear to release from taxation al
the property of the State which the Legislal
ture intended to tax, and impose tax upon
all that they intended to exempt. The bill
was subjected to so many amendments that
the clerk who finally engrossed it has no
doubt inadvertently omitted some words that
should have been inserted, and thus the whole
meaning of the bill has been changed.
How the matter will be arranged, or wheth-
er the assessors will proceed with the assess
ment or not, we can not say.
