HYDROPH0BIA
A Young Woman Bitten Nine
Years Ago by a Dog and Now De-
velOps all the Symptoms Of the
HOrrid Malady.

We learn from correspondent to
the Wheeling Register, of the 22d
inst, from Cloverlick, w. Va. that
Dunmore, Poeahontas county has a
sensation about case of what appear
ed to be hydrophobia. The victim,
Marietta Galford, is young woman
of about twenty years of age, the
daughter of plain old farmer living
in the hill country, some two miles
north of Dunmore. Nine years ago,
while passing the house of a neighbor
on her way to school, she was bitten
by lage yellow dog of the cur breed,
and an animal notorious throughout
the community for it's viciousness. 1t
was not suspected at the time of being
rabld, but some time afterwards was
killed as mad dog. The bite was on
the right leg about two inches below
the knee, and from the appearance of
the scar which still remains, piece of
flesh about the size of silver dollar
was torn out. The wound was pain
ful one, and several months elapsed
before it healed. But no indications
of hydrophobia attacking the bitten
girl were manifested until near three
weeks ago, when a recollection of the
bog bite was recalled by the peculiar
symptoms exhibited by the young wo-
man in a sudden attack of what the
physician at first pronounced I'etonus
Or Lock jaw. About three weeks
ago the young woman had attended
church and returned home in good
health and q short1time after her re-
turn was attacked with spasms. A
physician was called and simply ap-
piled ether to the outside of the throat
and neck and gave internally MKT
ure of scull-cap and sherry which
wonderfully improved the condition of
the patient, until now, the third week,
there is every prospect of cure.

The decision of the Supreme Court
,ofLouisiana in Anderson's case is bas-
ed entirely upon a technical point.
The information on which Anderson
was convicted charged him with utter>
ing and publishing as true a certain
altered public record as to the returns
Of the Perish of Vernon. The record
referred to was the consolidated states
ment of the vote in that parish. The
Court holds that this consolidated
statement is not a record required by
law of which forgery can be commit
ted under the statute of Louisiana.
This opinion does not affect the find-
ings of fact in the case. 1t does moth
ing toward clearing up the reputation
Of Andersen, the Visiting Statesman,
and r. b. hayes. 1t only shows that
the prosecuting officer did not charge
the right offense il, his information. If
ne Is an astute lawyer he will profit by
this admcnition, and draw his informa-
tions against the remaining members of
sthe Returning Board 50 that they will

Thereputation it has attained, in consequences Of
the marvellous cures Il has produced during the
last half century, is sufficient assurance to the
public that it will continue to realize the happiest
results that can be desired. In almost every
section of country there are persons, publicly
known who have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases Of the lungs, by its use.
All who have trietlit, acknowledge its superiority
and where its virtues are known, no one hesitates
rs to what medicine to employ to relieve the dis
tress and suffering peculiar TO pulmonary anec.
tons. CHERRY PICTORIAL always affords in
slant relief, and performs rapid cures of the
mlder varieties of bronchial disorder, as well as
the more formidable diseases of the lungs.
As Safeguard to children, amid the distress.
ing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest Of
Childhood, it is invaluable; for, by Its timely use,
multitudes are rescued and restored to health.
This medicine gains friends at every trial, as
the cures it is constantly producing are too re-
markable to be forgotten. No family should be
without it, and those who have once used Il
never will.
Eminent Physicians throughout the country
prescribe ID, and Clergymen often recommend il
from their knowledge of its effects.

The baltimore and Ohio Report.

The fifty y'secoud annual report of the
Baltimore and Ohio Road, shows not
withstsnding the great competition be-
tween the trunk roads for business,
and the low rates for transportion
which has been the result,ttbe net in
come of the road Is increasing as the
combined result Of economies of ad'
ministratiOn and augmentation Of
business. The total earnings for the
last fiscal year were $13, 765, ,279, so; the
expenses were S7,769, ,30l, ,36, leaving
the net earnings s., ,995, ,97S, 63. While
the earnings of the main stem and
branches have, in comparison with the
fiscal year of 1877, increased $301, ,91I,-
So, the working expense were decreas-
ed $50, ,806, SO, making comparative
increase in the net profits Of $382, 49,
45,
1t Was judged best to apply the
earnings of the Company to the reduc-
tiOn of the debt incurred in the con-
structiOn of the Baltimore Short Line
and for the aid of important eonnec'
tiOns, and hence four per cent. stock
dividend was declared, as representing
in part the increase of the capital in
vestment of the Company. During
the proceedings of the stockholders
meeting President Garrett stated that
by the use of net earnings left in the
hands of the Company by the ex'
pedient of stock dividend, and by
subsequent earnings, the floating debt
had been still further reduced since
the close of the fi-cal year by the
amount of moro than one million of
dollars.
The report of the Transportation De-
partment shows steady increase in
the tonnage of through merchandise
East and West. There has been no
falling off since the panic, as many
suppose; but, on the contrary, the
business done by the road has in
creased annually, with one slight ex'
ception, as these figures show; 1871,
435, ,207 tons; 1874, 752, ,256 tons; 1875,
872, ,l01 tons; 1876, 1893, 1893 tons; 1877,
1,047, ,645 tons; 1878, 1,l49, ,499 tons.
The etaple articles transported show an
increase of amounts. The receipts of
wheat show an increase of 1854 ,633
bushels over 1877, and s, ,744, ,933 bushels
over 1876. The large falling off in corn
is accounted for by the fact that the
Company declined to meet unremuner'
ative rates established by other roads,
and also from diminished crop.
Altogether, the report Is an encour'
aging document, and affords grounds
for faith In the busines prospects of the
road, whose prosperity is-sO essential
to Baltimore interests.-BaltO. Amert'

About two centuries ago an idea

Apostle Paul designated himself Paul,
a knave Of Jesus Christ" No such
Bible really existed; and the Duke OF
Lauderdale, the well known Scotch
Viceroy uf Charles H., heving in vain
endeavored to procure one, 1t occurred
to Thornton, a worthless fellow by all
accounts, that he could, by little it,

himself at the same time. He got II

Prof Summer ON National Banks.

1t is evident that resumption would at once
| do away with the chief objections to the bank
notes. 1t would bring the banks under the
control of natural laws. 1t would by no means
constitute return to the old state bank sys
tenn. as some seem to dread. The free bank
ing act might, very probably, become mis-
chievous, for bank issues might be simply ex-
panded to supply the place of greenbacks
Withdrawn. 1t certainly is not worth while
| for the public to buy back value currency
for the sake of giving it away TO banks again.
At fast as the greenbacks are redeemed with
specie, specie ought to take their place in cir
culation. Some persons pretend to say that
no one wants specie. 1t is difficult to see what
right they have to speak for any one but
themselves. A generation which has grown
up to kno only irredeemable paper, will not,
prob badly, know the advantages of specie cur
rency in elasticity, in uniformly, in retail
business, in expenditures tor consumption, in
all the transactions of the man of small in
come. If they do not know this advantage,
they may foolishly give it away. Business
men and bankers educated in the same system,
may not appreciate at once the great necessity
which arises from time to time for mass OF
specie in the circulation, which can be easily
drawn to the banks to support bank'notes, or
the evils which may arise if no specie is pre-
sent in the circulation. Nevertheless. it is
true, and experience of convertible currency
will soon show it, that good currency must
consist of both notes and specie. AS to the
proportion in which they should exist, that
depends on convenience entirely. Sometimes
one prefers notes and sometimes specie. The
bank note become mischievous the moment it
displaces q coin which the holder might have
and would prefer to have. 1t is useful and
AID beneficial only SO long as, under complete
liberty of choice, it supplies substitute which
the holders convenience prompts him to pre-
fer. In the course of time, therefore, after
resumption shall have been accomplised, it
will be necessary to modify and improve the
bank note system until it answers the purpose
of facilitating exchanges with absolute neu-
trality between the parties. For the present,
the national bank notes offer the only paper
issue upon which we can pass over to specie
payments, II we are to resume at all.-[Scrib-
ner for December.

A Country Thanksgiving.

Ay, good man, close the great barn door
The mellow harvest time is DER;
The earth has given her treasures meet
OF golden corn and hardened wheat
You and your neighhors well have wrought,
And of the summers bounty caught;
Won from her smiles and from her tears
Much goods, perhaps, for many years.
You come tribute now to pay
The bells proclaim Thanksgiving day.
Well have you sown, well have you reaped;
And of the riches You have heaped.
You think, perhaps, that you will give
a part, that others, too may live.
But if such argu ment you use,
Yonr niggard bounty refuse.
No gifts you on the altar lay
In any sense are given away.
Lo! rings from Heaven a voice abroad:
who helps Gods poor doth lend the Lord
What is your wealth. He'd have you know
To have it, you must let it go.
Think you the hand by Heaven struck cold
Will yet have power to clutch its gold?
Shrouds have no pockets, do they say7
Behold l show you then the way:
Wait not till death shall shut the door,
But send your cargoes on before.
Lo! he that giveth Of his hoard
To help Gods poor doth lend the Lord.
To day, my brethern-do not wait;
Just yOnder stands Dame Kelly's gate;
And would you build mansion fair
In Heaven, send your lumber there:
Each stick that on her wood-pile lies
May raise dome beyond the skies;
You stop the rents within her walls,
And yonder rise your marble halls;
For every pane that stops the wind
There shineth one with jasper lined.
Your wealth is gone, your form lies cold.
But in the city paved with gold
Your hoard is held in hands Divine:
1t bears name that marks it thine.
Behold the bargain ye have made,
With usury the debt is paid.
No moth doth eat, no thieves do steal,
No suffering heart doth envy feel;
Ring out the words, Who of his hoard
Doth help Gods poor doth lend the Lord
Go get your cargoes under way;
The bells ring out Thanksgiving Day.
