Curious Death From Hydrophobia.

The death from hydrophobia which
occurred in Brooklyn last week is in
some respects note sorthy. The victim
was large, robust man, of temperate
habits. The dog that bit him showed
no symptoms of disease, and is still
alive, apparently in perfect health.
The wound was inflicted accidentally
when the man and dog were at play; it
healed kindly, and no marks were left.
The patient however continued anxious
and morbid. He consulted physician,
and was assured that there was no
danger. Still he lived in constant
dread of hydrophobia, passing sleepless
nights, and often subjecting himself to
various tests in fear of discovering
traces of disease. Finally, on the 18th
of June, eight weeks after the bite, the
first symptoms of hydrophobia were
manifested. Spasms supervened, and
the patient died in great agony. The
case is anomalous, but not without u
parallel. Just about year ago one
Mccormick died in New York city
under much the same circumstances
All that seems to be established in re
gard to hydrophobia does not conhic

that the animal communicating tn

I blcdOn.
! From the n. Y. Sun, June 80
Both at the Creedmoor shooting las
year and now at Dollvmount the range
were the same-S00, 900 and | 600 yards
the targets six feet by twelve in sizt
with c, nter six feet by six, and bull
eye three feet by three. A shot in tn
bulls eye counts four; in the cente
three in the outer, that is, anywher
else on the turget, two. The teams ar
each of six men each man has tifteel
shots at each range, forty-fve in all
The highest possible team score il
1,0S0.
At Creedmoor, the total of thyAmeri
cans was 934, that of the Irish, 931-
thus made up At 800 yards, Americans,
1926 Irish, BIT 900 yards, Americans,
80; Irish, 3l5; 1000 yards, Americans,
29S; Irish, 1903.
This affords us ground for comparison
with the shots at Dollymount yes erday,
when the total was Americans, 9G7 ;
Irish, 920-thus made At 800 yards,
the Americans made 337, the Irish, 33S;
900 yards, Americans 327, Irish 292 ;
1000 yards, Americans 1903, Irish 800
Therefore the Americans beat their
former scores heavily in each case-l2,
II, and 5 points resi- ectlvely. The Irish
gained heavily at 500 yards, 81 points
lost % points at 800 yards, and at 1000
yards lost 4. The Americans beat the
Irish by 3S points, and their Creedmoor
score by 33 points the Irish fell behind
their Creedmoor performance 2 points.
The American shooting was indeed
splendid, and the Irish compared favor
ably with the best shooting at Wimble-
don, the great English rifle range.
Though beaten they maintained high
reputation, and Justified their former
title to the Elcho shield, the chief
Wimbledon prize. They had exhausted
hospitality to the American team pre-
vious to the match, and they gave I'M
stinted honor to their successful oppo.
Aents when they retired victors from
the field.
DoIlymount, the range, is on sandy
island in Dublin bay, about three
miles from the city, called the North
Bull. 1t is part Of the bar ut the mouth
Of the LiffAy, a stream famous in Irish
history. The celebrated battle of Clon-
tart, fought by Brian Boru, the re,
nouned chief, against the invading
Danes, before William the conqueror's
time, occurred on its banks. 1t was a
fit place for the friendly contest be-
tween the rilemen of the New America
and OLD Ireland.

ceration of Cortina. The dispatches
indicate high degree of excitement in
Matamoras, which doubtless extends
measurably throughout the state of
Tamaulipas. The capture of their
leader is regarded is an undue inter
ruption to their smuggling operations
by the people of Matamoras and vicin-
ity, and President Lerdo evidently has
an insurrection ON his hands which will
require the presence of more troops.
Matamoras, where the troubles now
center, is Immediately opposite Browns

of about $1,000. AS an effort will be
made to carry Cortina to Vera Cruz, a
conflict between the citizens and the
Mexican troops is probable.
DISPATCHES from the Black Hills

Harney's Peak gold has really been
found in paying quantities. The cor
respondent OF the New York Tribune
accompanying the expedition writes
that, after the party entered the unex.
plored region from the east, they struck
a granite formation and gold-bearing
quartz, besides finding gold in flakes in
the gulches. Prof. Jenny, Lieut.. Nor
ton and DR.. Lane, of the government
are said to be satisfied that
gold exists there. Whether it will be
found in sufficient quantities to fill the
pockets of the thousands who are wait
