MORE LOCAL HYpRoPHoBIA-The case of
Miss Maria Baldwin, of West Granville, who
was bitten in he face by a mad dog i'm April
and last week gave signs of hydrophobia, is
peculiarly interesting as another and strong
evidence that the disease is not altogether one
OF the imagination. She had always firmly held
that no one need go mad from dog bite, and
since she was bitten had showed no nervous
ness concerning It,, going about her duties as
usual The dog had also bi ten two other dogs
and two sheep. One dog was killed at once,
but the other and the sheep have since gone
mad and been killed. Moreover, one Of the
sheep bit hen, and the bird also went mad
showing its condition by running about wildly
and pecking at its fellows until it was killed.
But Miss Baldwin was not told of this, and
thought lightly Of her own case until last Mon
day, when she suddenly found herself unable
to swallow water. Later she was thrown into
spasms, and fOamed at the mouth when She
gave up hope, but would allow none of her
iilends to come near her, lest the saliva should
inOculate them also with the disease. The
spasms became more, frequent and severe
through the week, the doctors being able to do
nothing but administer OpiateS, and Miss Bald
win Is now either dead or at the point of death
She was so years old. woman of great kind.

friends, and was relative of Mrs. John Kent

CHIEF-JUSTICE CHAsE's FAITH.-A Wash
ingtOn correspondent of the Cleveland (OhO)
Herald writes: Judge Miller to day tod me
an interesting fact in relation to the late Chief
Justice Chase. In conversation with him at
Edgewood only ten days before his death, the
Chief-J Justice expressed himself as firm be-
lever in the inspiration of the Bible and the
plan of salvation as taught by the Saviour He
said that early in his manhood he had brought
to the examination of the Scriptures all The
powers of his mind, and carefully read all the
leading arguments for and against the tru b of
those Scriptures; that he had deliberately made
up his mind that the Bible was the word of
God, a divine revelation to man, and he had
never through long life wavered in his belief
He treated the subject as he would a question
of law, and having carefully and fully exam
ined the subject, and settled it in his own
mind, that part OF the law became to him as
an axiom not to be disputed or departed from
WAS interested in hearing Judge Miller detail
at length this conversation, as it confirmed in
the fullest manner what the Chief-Justice had
often said and written to me. believe the

the Christians future.

WHAT CHRISTIANS HAZE TO SUFFER-
Christians have their troubles as we'll as sim
ners. When we die and go to Heaven because
we haven't done lots of things which we
wanted to do it will just cut US to the quick
to see long procession of sinners coming in
who went to theaters and dances and balls and
then repented just in the nick Of time.-(St.
Joseph (MO.1 Herald.

lax WALkS.-A late writer THINKS that to
make walks with gas-tar as a component part
Is the only effectual way to exclude weeds,
short of Manipulating. But many tar walks
are badly made. In the first place, the founda-
ton and drainage must be perfect. Orna-
mental tiles should be placed at the sides i'm
perfectly even lines at such level as to allow
three inches thick for the tar paving. Two
inches OF coarse tar-paving should be spread
hrst, made perfectly even, and rolled with a
heayy roller, SO as to fmpart solidiJy. A fine
equal care as to evenneSs. The gravel or ne
ly crushed stones for this purpose, must be
perfectly clear, and when heated mixed with
the hot tar. When hardened, the surface is
painted over with tar, and finish given wi h
hne gravel or pulyerized shells, made even
with the rOller.-l CiLntru GantLe1n1n

There are many inquiries as to the ante
oedents of Major" BURKE, now claiming n
residence in New Orleans. From the best
information to be obtained, he appears to be
. carpet-bagger from Texas, and kind of
ISAIAH RYNDERs in Louisiana politics ;
that is, he is very dangerous fellow when
backed up by crowd. This popularity of
his was shown when, a few years ago, at the
head of q mob, he made an attack upon
streets of New Orleans, while the latter was
riding with Judge ATOCHA. A bullet fired
from KEILoGG's pistol would have finished
the career of the Major" at that time but
for the interference of the judge.
