Curing HydrOphObia in New Hampshire.

Many years ago Noah Hatch, of
Northumberland, a wealthy farmer,
had three or four children bitten by a
rabid dog. On the first symptoms of
the rabies in the children he started for
the ocean. Portland was the nearest
point and 125 miles distant, but he
reached it in about twenty hours by u
frequent change of horses, and imme-
diately put the children on board sail
ing craft and took them out short dis
lance, and, fastening weights to them,
three times sank them in the sea, keep
ing them under as long as was safe
without extinguishing life.
The effect of the submerging was the
cure of the children. Alpha, one of the
bitten children, had hydrophobia
spasms, and would snap her teeth,
froth at the mouth, and bark like dog
before reaching Portland. This indi-
vidual, now nearly seventy-fve years
old, resides in Bethlehem, and Mrs.
Charlotte Waters, now living in STRAIT
ford, was one of the bitten children.
The dog that bit the children bit sever
al animals that subsequently became
rabid and were killed. -Littlet0R Re

Missions closed its year with a decrease
in receipts of S60,2SS, as compared
with last year; of the 5,153 churches in
the denomination, 2,343 gave nothing
and the heaviest falling off was among
the richest churches, the New York
Fifth Avenue Church alone lessening
their contribution S9,23S. 1t is note
worthy that the little church at Gaboon,
West Africa, gave nearly as much as
all the Indianapolis churches, and more
than three times the sum sent by the
five churches at Toledo, Ohio.

AerOnautic Spiders.

A member of the Philadelphia Acad-
envy of Natural Sciences has been OBJ
serving the operations of the aeronau-
tic spiders. They first climb to the top
of a tall post, and elevating the abdo-
men, throw rapidly out thread six or
eight feet long. With head toward the
wind, they then make a sudden spring
upward, and are borne off on the
breeze. In the air they turn round,
heading with the current, and spread
out their threads on their outstretched
legs, making a sort of kite to give
them greater buoyancy. During de-
scent a small white ball was seen ac-
cumulated in the mouth, made of the
wound-up silk when the insect took in
sail to alight.

"KnOwing" Farmers.

President Blanchard, of the West
ern New York Dairymen's Association,
in his annual address at the last meet
ing Of the society, said:
| would like to say word to class
of farmers who are not represented
here to-day. They are what we call
the knowing (?) class, They boast
of not being connected with any
Grange, farmers club, association or
society.
They are wonderfully wise in their
own estimation. You can't talk with
them five minutes, even at a funeral,
but what they will say dollars"
They know all about farming. They
always make the best butter, and will
curse the buyer if he calls it otherwise
Such farmer can't spend time to read
or study. He is full OF knowledge al
ready. You would not know he had a
wife unless his neighbors told you. He
never takes her out or mentions her
name in company.
| met such specimen not long since.
| called at his house on business, and
was told that he had gone to the viii
lage. My attention was attracted to
the swill pail on the front steps, or, L
should say, some loose boards used for
steps; broken sleds, old wagons, old
kettles, rotten hay rakes, old tumble
down soap barrels and teaches, with
old boards and rails that had lain so
long the weeds had grown through
them, scattered on all sides of the
house. The cattle, sheep, hogs and
geese ran unrestrained on all sides of
the house that had been waiting a
score of years for coat of paint. Not
to particularize, everything seemed to
match. | had never seen or heard of
the man, but thought | would try to
guess what kind of man | was to
meet. am not much of a guesser, but
| hit it this time exactly.
In less than three minutes, by the
watch, he said dollars" although my
business was not of pecuniary nature.
As soon as he could get at it, he began
to tell how rich and Independent he
was, how much he knew, and what
foolish neighbors he had, spending SO
much time at farmers clubs, Oranges,
etc.
/ am glad to know that this class OF
farmers is growing less. They are sur
rounded by better class, whose in
fluence is beginning to be felt. No one,
unless he has been intimately connected
with them in their organized bodies,
can tell the advancement in general
knowledge the farmers, as class, have
made within the last few years. Neigh
borhood quarrels are among the things
of the past.
Show me neighborhood where there
is a well-cOnducted farmers club and |
will show you peaceable and happy
one; one in which the old, primitive
idea of neighborhood is being rein
stated; one where envy, jealousy and
backbiting are unknown; where all are
willing to impart any useful informa-
ton which may have come under their
observation, and desire to learn and
utilize the knowledge gained from each
other.

A Terrible Outrage.

A correspondent of the Utica Herald
gives the particulars of terrible out
rage which was perpetrated on DR.. NJ. X.
Waite, of Worthwhile, Fulton County, N.
Y. About ten o'clock carriage con-
tanning man and another person
dressed in woman's clothing, drove to
the residence of DR.. Waite, and the
man asked at the door for the doctor,
requesting him to step out to the car
riage, as a lady wished to see him. DR..
Waite went to the carriage, and when
about to speak to the supposed lady,
the contents of a bottle or cup filled
with oil of vitriol was thrown into his
face. The doctor was frightfully
burned, and the sight of both eyes per-
manently destroyed. The parties were
unknown to the doctor, and thus far
there is no clew by which to trace them.

Jerome %Bonaparte having served as
