Symptoms Of Hydropho.

~ AZ SSSA1lo "a ASO1OpAO-
'- =, bia. - E.. ...
n. Bonley, a French yeteri-
nary surgeon, gives these pres
captiohs and hints for citing
hydrophobia in dogs. '. -. ,. 8.
Beware of dog which be-
gins to be Sick Allsick dogs,
as a principle, must be suspect
ed. -r- .el's so
Beware especially Of one
which is sad, morose, and seeks
for solitude; which does not
know where to rest, which goes
and comes, rambles abont,
snaps and barks without rea-
SON; whose looks are duh and
gloomy and whose bright ex-
preston is lost.
Beware Of the dog which
looks about and attacks imagi-
nary phantoms.
Beware of one which is sud-
denly too affectionate, asking
for your caresses by his pitiful
and repeated cravings
And thus you will protect
yourself from danger to- which
you may be exposed in your
home, from dogs kept as family
pets.
The bark of the mad dog is
thoroughly Characteristic +; so
much SO, indeed, that any one
familiar with it can decide with
certainty the presence of@a rab-
id dog when this barking is
heard. 1t is moi. necessary Ell
Their that the ear be long exer-
cised to familiarity with the
sound to obtain this certainty
of diagnosis. Instead Of the
normal and successful barl5s, it
is hoarse, lower in tone, prolong-
ed and not so strong. After
the first bark made at full
strength, a series of five, six,
seven or eight others immedi-
-ately succeed, lowered in
strength and thrown out from
the throat.

stlrrInu up q Hornets Nest.

The following exciting story Is
told by the st. Louis Republican |:
"As the Missouri Pacific train was
leaving Miller's Landing, few
weeks ago, q gentlemen came aboard
carrying Q stick, TO which was curl
ously attached hornets nest. He
had found IL in the woods, and it
had the appearance Of being tenant
less. But when brought into the
warm atmosphere Of the car, and
placed near the stove, tho heat soon
awakened its dormant life, aud q
low, humming noise from the interior
warned the embryo naturalist and
his companions in destined misery
that the sorrow was about to begin.
A frantic effort to throw the nest
from the window released the i'm
prisoned insects, aud next instant
they swarmed through the. car. each
individual hornet armed with fury
aud savagely bent on the war-path
They struck right and left, and
everywhere left in their trail cry OF
agony. Women shrieked and men
vented curses loud and deep, But
the sorrow waxed apace and the
misery increased People tumbled
over seats and groveled on the floor.
Polonaises were torn and scattered
in promiscuous confusion, IN d
shapely extremities were exposed in
frantic search for hornets that had
ventured in directions which hornets
have no right to penetrate. Bald
headed men mopped their pates in
agony aud cursed the fool who had
turned that happy car into carni-
val of pain.
Rushing to the rescue Of his be-
leaguered passengers. Conductor
King was met on the threshold with
such warm reception that his inquiry
What the-i' may he not have been
20 far wrong after all. But the con.
ductor only clapped his lips with
both hands and commenced au In
dian war dance in perfect keeping
with the conduct OF his passengers,
He seemingly lost oil anxiety to in
quire any further, or II his curiosity
was not appeased he prudently re-
Trained from exposing it. Finally
the doors and windows were thrown
opon and the hornets began to leave
tho car. In q little while only few
stray ones were left, and these the
passengers kindly RETAINED from
hurrying, but allowed to take their
time, which. everything considered,
was magnanimous on the part oi
people who had undergone 50 much
discomfort.

Romantic Life and Death Ut a Hermit.

On Friday, Both ult., Austin Shel
don, known as tho Pike County Her.
init. was found dead, in ten feet
snow drift, on the Moosic Mountains
in Wayne county. He had lived
over forty years in cave in the
rocks, near the entrance OF which
his body was found Sheldon was
nearly ~ years old. He was dis
covered in his cave thirty years ago
by hunters. He said he had been
living there ton years, and had not
seen any human beings in that time.
His cave was nine miles from Ding
mans village. His reason for seclu.
sion was Il very peculiar one, and in
these days when married affection
is rapidly becoming 'one OF the lost
arts it is probably that his example
will fud but few emulators. 1t ap-
pears that he had lost his wife after
q brief married life, and disappeared
on the day of the burial. He was
not heard Of until laJs year. Before
he took up his abode in the Pike

concluded to live the rest OF his life.
He did not know it's locality at the
time, but found afterwards that it
was among the Moosio Mountains,
in Wayne county. The great forest
that surrounded his cave soon at
tracted the attention OF the lumber
men, and he fed deeper into the
wilderness. After three months OF
wandering he found the cave in the
wild region where he died. For
over forty years he lived in this hole
in the rocks. Sheldon lived on
game. fish, roots aud berries. Al
tho time OF his death his form was
much bent. The clothing that
hung in rags and tatters from his
person, had been donned twenty
two years ago aud never been taken
off. It was held together by hickor,
withes. He never washed. A thicl
gray beard that hung almost to BIZ

hanging over his shoulders, was mat
