Eydrophobia.

Robert Massey, a boy six years of
age, little girl named Mary Growber,
son of Mr.. Stevens, were bitten by a
mad dog on North Broad street, near
Tioga, Philadelphia, on the morning of
the 7th of April last. The wounds
which each received were not serious.
and ali healed up in due course Of time.
Ihe circumstances attending the bit
ing were almost entirely forgotten, but
las, night were recalled in tic most
horrible manner. Young Massey was
taken with a fit at the house Of his
parents, on Sixteenth street, below
Tioga, about eleven o'clock last night.
The symptoms were of an unusual char.
actcr, and a physician was sent for.
The various snappings, &c. of the boy
showed plainfy',that he was suffering
from hydrophobia All the known n
remedies were applied, and every
thing within the power Of human skill
was done to alleviate the miser;es of
the suffering lad, but without ayai,..
Every minute the case grew worse, and
at halt past four o'clock this morning
death relieved the little fellow from bis
horrible agony. The other persons
who were bitten by the dog at the
same time have not yet experienced
any Inconvenience from the effects of
their injuries. - Philadelphia Bulletin.

Fruit PKosFEcrs ON THE PoroMxc,,-

the peaches are generally killed in that
region except in orchards located along
the immediate bank of the river, All
other fruit is, unharmed,.'. So far as
present appearances indicate, the crop
of cherries, apples, and pears will be
large. Some varieties Of peaches are
killed totally, others show a scattered
setting, while few are thfckly y Set

rss war IN ARKANSAS.

The contest over the Governorship
in Arkansas still continues. 1t is a
war for oflce. Were it a Democrat
upon one side and Radical upon the
other, it would be very easy. for the
people to take sides. But it is war
between two brethren Of the Radical
persuasion Brooks, is carpetbag;
Northern methodist preacher, who but
a few years ago aspired to the highest
clerical Office iii his ;, church Disap.
pointed in obtaiiiing the position in
church'to which he aspired,' he ID now
endeaasing. to secure hondrs- of a
political character. Baxter is from
Tennessee and has heretofore been iden
tilted with the Radical party Brooks
desires the question TO be settled. by the
Supreme Court because the court will
decide in his tavor. Baxter on the
other hand agrees to submit the de-
cission to the Legislature because the
Legislature will decide in his favor. -
The attornies of the two parties have
been in Washington for weeks endeav-
oring TO secure an adjustment which
will be favorable to their respective
clients
A plan vas agreed upon which
provides that both parties cali a
session of the Legislature to meet
at Little Rock on the fourth Monday
in May, each to make special call, no
opposition to be made by either party,
and receive the claims of Brooks IN or
position to Baxter, both parties to have
a full hearing and Che Legislature to
determine who received a majority in
1872. Baxter objects to the plan, upon
the grounds that he submitted the same
proposition to Brooks sometime ago
and they were rejected, and that he
will not consent to anything which
recognizes Brooks. We doubt whether
either one Of the contestants should be
Governor, or was legally elected Any
plan which would depose Both of them
aperait the people of Arkansas to
select another Govarnor would not do
injustice to the carpet bag, ex chaplain
Of a negro regiment, or his Tennessee
opponent. To submit the question to
the President fer bis decision might be
the most speedy mode OF settling the
difficulty, bat would establish pre-
cedent dangerous to the liberties of the
people ~ .-'

The sentence Of Charles Rose of
Baltimore to the Penitentiary for
twenty one years, for committing an
outrage upon young lady at Sunday
School Pic Mic is suggestive of both
the enormity' Of the offence ana: the
certainty of commensurate punish
ment. The circumstances attending
the case were not such as to show that
very violent means had been used; for
the young lady returned home with The
party after having stopped at public
house for refreshments: The sentence
of the@court in this case will be both a
protection to tile defenseless and a
warning1o those who would disregard
the rights of others in their licentious

on Monday morning fire occurred in
the extensive tobacco factory Of Geo
A. Burke, Sen 81 Wright, Lynchnurg,
