On March % there appeared in New
York paper letter signed g Rabies" in
which MIR. Bergh's public declaration of
his disbelief in the existence of hydro
phobia was made the ground for novel
wager. The writer, who is an eminent
physician Of this city, offered to deposit
81, 900 in the editors hands, TO go to Mr..
Bergh's society, if Mr, Bergh would al
low himself to be inoculated with the
saliva OF rabid dog and not have by
drophobia within six months after such
incubation. Mr.. Bergh has always been
anxious to dispel the popular prejudice
against dogs on account of their sup
posed liability TO hydrophobia, but he
has shown no disposition to accept this
offer in behalf Of science and his canine
favorites. In an interview he said that
he regarded the offer as mere joke, but
if it was seriously meant he thought it
was in very bad taste, for any one must
know that he would not for 81, QUO allow
himself to be inoculated with the saliva
of a rabid dog any more than he would
sleep in the bed upon which small pox
patient had died. He, however, reitera-
ted bis faith in the fallacy Of the popu-
lar notion of hydrophobia. -New York

The Rocky Mountain Tourist says:
"One of the most remarkable mines in
California gulch is in leads three feet in
thickness, the ore from which yields
from $40 to go ounces of silver to the
ton, and lies like coal-bank in strait
fcation of limestone, dipping about Is
degrees. Two openings have been made
at points 600 feet apart, and sufficient
ore is in sight to make millions of the
dollars Of our daddies.' The owners
have gone far enough to know that there
is full acre of the ore in the one solid
body, and some conception may be
formed of the amazing richness of this
discovery by brief calculation of it's
dimensions. A cubic foot weighs ITO
pounds, and, as the ore lies, IL cubic
feet make q ton. There are 43, $50
square feet in an acre, and the acre of
ore, being 3 feet in thickness, makes
$50, $3.50 cubic feet, which, with 12 cubic
feet to the ton, makes 10, 900 tons, worth
$3.50 per ton, or the enormous value in
the aggregate Of 50, 700, 900. The Ores
cent is another mine worked like coal
bed, the ore lying horizontally in the
large room that has been opened, the
roof being held up by heavy tinabers
with very stout Gaps and tugging-poles.
The ore breasts from foot to three and
four feet, and occasionally very fine
specimens of horn silver are found"

a Petritied Human Body.

Mr.. David Whaley, of this place,
buried his wife In June, 1873, in the
cemetery lot of his uncle, Joseph Richie.
He died, recently, and was buried on
March so last in his fathers lot. Last
Tuesday the wife's body was taken up
and placed beside that of the husband.
Besides the undertaken, David Seaman,
and his son, there were present Mr..
Joseph Richie, his brother, Willard 81.
Ritchie and Mrs. Joseph Richie. They
we're astonished at the weight of the
coffin, and concluded to open it. When
the lid was removed they were more
astonished to see the face entirely pre-
served and looking as natural as in life.
The hair had grown to twice it's length
at the time OF death, and was of glossy
black. The skin was covered with q
coating not thicker than sheet OF
paper. This coating was hard and
white. "You never saw snow winter, !"
Mr.. Richie said. It's smoothness re-
sembled that of wax, but it was not
wax. Nobody touched it except Mr..
Seaman, who rested his fingers on the
forehead, and fancies that the coating
gave way slightly beneath his touch, and
that if he had pressed hard upon it the
forehead might have fallen in. He says
the coating was a kind of hard mold.
The eyes were as full as in life, as were
also the cheeks. The clothes were
dotted with black spots, but otherwise
well preserved.
DR.. j. FL. 3. Denton was sent for to
examine the remains, but was not at
home The coffin was of black walnut,
and was uniniured, except that the finish
on the outside had rotted off. In remov-

jar did not disturb the appearance of the

Ram vs.. Donkey.

Recently, at Fulwood, near, Preston,
England, fight, which proved fatal to
one Of the combatants, took place be-
tween ram and donkey in field in
the occupation of Mr.. Wilkinson,
farmer The ass, belonging to Mrs.
Kellett, had been in the habit of visit
ing one Of its kind which grazed on Mr..
Wilkinson's lands, and his trespasses
had, often been resented by an old black
faced ram, one of a flock Of sheep pas
turing in the samefeld. On Friday the
ram seemed determined to have it out
with Neddy, and attacked him furiously,
goring him grievously with his formid-
able horns. The, ass, however, met his
assaults bravely, plunged round with
astonishing agility, kicked out at the old
ram with terrible force, and sometimes
with stunning effect. At last he selzed
the ram BY the nose and shook him as o
dog worries O rat, bit him about the
head and neck repeatedly, and left him
weltering in his blood, marching off vic
toriously, their combat having lasted
nearly half an hour. Shortly afterward
the ram died from loss of blood and the
injuries he had sustained, Se

The Death Penalty.

At meeting of the New York Medi-
oo-Legal Society, the other day, there
was an interesting discussion on the
mode of the infection of the death pen
atty. DR.. John r. Packard, of Phila-
delphia, reasoned that just as the physi-
cal terror Of punishment is increased
just so much is the moral effect Of the
punishment weakened, as is proved by
the simultaneous records in the daily
press Of executions and murders. Re
gave, among other reasons for opposing
the present mode of capital punishment,
that it's horrors excited the humane sem
timent Of the community to an inordinate
degree, thereby largely increasing the
chances of acquittal even for the worst
criminals. In Pennsylvania, he said, If
the Governor goes out of office without
signing the death warrant Of some GRIM
inal, his successors, following the long
established custom, neglect to give Off
cial sanction to the warrant, and in one
notable case q man sentenced to death
twenty-six years ago is still unhung. 1
DR.. Packard suggested that in place
of the rope d more humane and decent
means of Iife-taking be employed. His
choice was the administration Of carbonic
oxide in close room in which the Grim
inal should be placed under the direc-
tion Of Jury. At the end of ten minutes
fresh air should be admitted to the room.
and the same jury should view the body
and give the necessary certificate as to
death. He advocated this plan as one
presenting the advantages of economy,
humanity, and decency. saa2dl
Mr.. Riddle, one of the many speakers
who followed DR.. Packard, believed that
if the gallovs were dispensed with we
should substitute something more mys-
terious and horrible. "Do away with
the rope as a means of punishment" he
said, 9 but give us in place of it ter
rible punishment by dead of night in
secrecy and mystery, and let the body of
the felon be put so far away that even
the devil cannot find it. A 7s.' H ( n +

Gen. Grant and the Sultan.

An officer went as far as Galhpoi to
meet the General. He arrived here ac-
companied by his wife and youngest
son. One of the Sultan's aides-de- camp.
Immediately conveyed the congratula-
tons of his Majesty upon the Generals
arrival in Turkey, and his regret that
the sad condition of affairs prevented the
Generals receiving such honors as Tur-
key would only be too glad to accord to
one who, as President of the United
States, had always been friend of the
Ottoman Government. Had the General
come in time of peace, the Sultan would
nave given him a palace; but now he
came to house of mourning, and the
welcome would have to be the welcome
of sorrow. The General sent his compi-
ments to the Sultan, not only for his at
tention, but for the attentions he had le-
ceived through the Turkish empire. He
said he perfectly understood the destination,
and would rather not be any trouble to
the Sultan at time when the greatest of
troubles rested upon his throne and his
house. This was followed by an audi
enee with the Sultan. The interview was
strictly private, and was marked by she
absence of all ceremony. The Sultan
repeated his regret that the condition of
Turkey prevented his making Gen.
Grant his special guest and giving him
review of troops and a palace. Beyond
this and the Generals expression of
courteous regret at the calamity which
had fallen upon Turkey, there was no al
fusion to politics. The Sultan, however,
asked the General to accept as q SOU
venir of the visit one Of his best Arab
horses. This the General would have
declined, but an intimation that the re-
fusal might be misunderstood led to an
acceptance, and an Arab steed of dapple-
gray will soon be on it's way to America
to do service under one who, In addition
to other attributes, is one of the finest
horsemen in a nation famous for horse
nnanship, and who reioices in nothing so
much as in the grace and majesty of a
true blooded charger. ald Y aaii 8a5 Ia
