OFFICER BARRET IMPROVING.

Ofncer Barrett, Of the Sixth precinct, who, early
In July last, was bitten by dog. and who has
been, since Tuesday last, suffering from hydro
phobia, was last evening very much improved.
ALI the violent symptoms Of the terrible disease
have ceased. and he Is now feeling much easier
botn mentally and bodily. The officer struggled
bravey against the impending disease for long
time, and ever since the violent spasms have
disappeared he has brought all his strength Of mind
to bear upon his own case, and to this In no small
degree Is due his present more hopeful condition.
His family and friends are unremittng In their at
tenti0n, and the sympathy OF his brother officers
OF the Sixth precinct has been largely extended
to him. An erroneous Impression has prevailed In
regard to the circumstances under which the Of
fcer received the poisonous wounds, it having
been stated that the bite was given by the oicers
own dog In Madison street. The truth Is that
Barret, while coming down Centre street from the
station house on his way to his home, saw two
bulldogs lighting In the street, and believing it to
be his duty TO separate them, he at once advanced
toward them. intending TO use his club freely.
One OF the mastiffs, however, was TOO quick for
him, and gave him very ugly bite in the right
hand. Oflicer Barret's friends say that he does

which ensued as the natural result of this

queer verdicts, but this finding is something
more than queer.
The Coroner did right, after hearing this

Grand Jury. He could not have liberated the

to be so lightly passed over. The verdict Of

Some Unsc holarlike Mista kes.

We said yesterday all that seemed needful.
by way of argument, in reply to the discour-
teous diatribe of the Evening Post, but hope
we may be pardoned for noticing one or two
minor errors which ought not to have been
found in journal of its pretensions to schol-
arship. We know no good reason why it
should have INDUCED itself in fling at the
Catholics, or have called the suggestion of
the HERALD, which it criticised, ga rusty ma
chine, whose model we conjecture was some
time made by Jesuit" No very extensive
acquaintance with the religious literature Of
Protestants was necessary to have saved the
Post from such misconception. The point
is too trivial for long array Of quotations,
and we limit ourselves to very striking one
from the celebrated commentary of DR..
Adam Clarke, the learned Methodist divine,
whose stanch Professionalism requires no in
dorsement. In commenting on that passage
in st. Johns Gospel, where the disciples came
at the close of Christ's interview with the
woman of Samaria, and ''marvelled that he
talked with the woman" yet burst not
ask Him, ''Why talkest thou with
her?" DR.. Clarke says:-''They were
awed by His Majesty, and knew that BE
must have sufficient reasons to act a part
part to which He was not at all accustomed A
great man has said, Converse sparingly, if al
all, with women, and never alone Every
minister of the Gospel will do well to follow
this advice" This eminent and erudita
Methodist, who perpetrated what the Post calls
ga scandalous libep' on the clergy and the
sex, was at least no Jesuit.
The Post embellished its article with Iona
quotation from Chaucer, which, with strange
contempt for chronology in SO scholarly
journal, it calls a portrayal of ''the ideal
priest of two centuries ago." Was this strange
liberty with dates taken to bring Chaucer
within the Protestant era? Everybody should
know that "the morning star of English liter
allure" wrote not two but five centuries ago.
and that the faithful, laborious priest he de-
scribes must have been a member of thu
Catholic communion, then and long after
ward the only form Of Christianity that pre-
vailed in England. When this writer shall
have acquired the elements of courtesy and
have mastered the elements Of literature he
may perhaps come to deserve the prominence
which the Post gives him as a critic.
