Two CASES OF RECOVERY FROM HYDBoPHo-
DIA are reported from Europe. One of them
comes with the authority of the British Med
ical journal, and is therefore probably trust
worthy. dhe genuineness of the disease is
positively stated. The case was treated Mt
the Chelmsford Infrmary but the course Of
treatment is not given As it is said that no
well-authenticated instance of recovery from
genuine hydrophobia has been heretofore
known, this case will be extremely interesting
to the medical profession, and full details of
the remedies used will doubtless be furnished
for some of the professional journals Anoth-
er case of recovery from the same disease is
reported from Russia, and of this more par
ticulars are given The patient was girl -
years old, who had been bitten in the hand
by mad dog The wound was Immediately
cauteriZed with nitrate of silver, and healed
readily. In II days symptoms of hydropho-
phobia appeared The subsequent treatment
Is thus described: The doctors prescribed
inhalation of three cubic feet of oxygen The
effect was immediate and in two hours and Il
half the patient was quite. calm. Two days
after fresh symptoms of the malady occurred
difficulty of swallowing and breathing con-
yulsions, ETC. A fresh inhalation of oxygen
for - minutes again counteracted these.
There remained only slight difficulty IN
breathing, and this was overcome by means
of monobromide of camphor, the use Of which
was continued for three weeks. The girl re-
covered perfect health, with the exception OF
having aphonia-a morbid consequence OF

burst from Il thousand throats and echoed
through Trenton and far across the Delaware.
Ere the Inst echo died away, the prison
door was burst violently open, and Walter
Tyrrell was soon in the arms of his cousin
William and surrounded by the soldiers of
Washington.
"Thank God you are safe and well Wal
ter" exclaimed his cousin. 81 was afraid the
Tories had murdered you"
ooh, William, how can | thank you p
Walter began.
But his cousin cut him short by exclaim-
ing;
Don't thank me. Thank Washington and
these brave fellows here, who crossed the
frozen Delaware and captured Trenton and

Green into the very heart of the town before
the Hessan pickets discovered cur presence,
for which have received the thanks of the
Commander-in-C Chief But come with me
and witness the fate OF the traitor who be-
trayed you"
Taking him by the arm he led him by the
soldiers until they came to the end of the
street, where little cottage stood surround
by tall elms Here detachment of military
was formed in hollow square, and in the
centre, kneeling in the snow with his elbows
resting ON drum and his face covered with
young Dalzel.
Times up, youngster,' said the officer in
command, looking at his watch. 'Do your
duty soldiers"
One of the men approached the culprit and
pulling his hands from his face, ordered him
to stand up. Tremblingly he obeyed. His
face was ashy pale and his eyes were pro
truding in fear and terror He gazed around,
but no look Of sympathy could he detect in
their faces His eyes at last rested on Wal
ter, who stood between two soldiers, and for u
moment their gaze was riveted ON each other.
At that instant the halter was thrown around
his neck, and large placard on which was
written the one word traitor was pinned
to his breast shrek burst from the un-
fortunate wretch as he was dragged TO the
nearest tree. The rope was thrown across IL
limb, and soon the soul of the false friend
and bctrayer was in eternity.
As the soldiers left the place Of execution II
scream rose on the air, and looking behind,
they bcheld the mother of the renegade sob

Walter and William enlisted in Green's
Brigade. served under Washington until the
surrender of Yorktown, and both rose to the
rank of Colonel. Colonel Bradford died
year after the battle Of Trenton leaving his
estate to his only surviving child, Marion.
After independence was secured, Walter was
rewarded with her hand, and both lived to

that there was any heroism in it. Her lover
seems TO have had the grace TO appreciate all
her self-sacrifce and devotion. Now and
then, in referring to her, he calls her MY
precious wife, adding II write wife because
though only aflianced, we were morally hus-
band and wife" This is not the gush of
young lovers who say, 1--WE are married in
the sight of heaven" before trails and separ-
alton have tested the endurance Of their atIec-
ton.
The long years dragged 10y. Thirteen
years had elapsed since these lovers became
engaged, and now they were advancing
toward middle age but their hearts, because
they had been constant and true, retained
something of springtime freshness still They
looked forward hopefully to IA happy reunion,
and the time came sooner even than they were
expecting. Calvin Fairbanks did not have to
serve out all his sentence. In April, 1864,
the governor of Kentucky, who like his i'm
mediate predecessors, had been deaf to petit
tions for Fairbanks's pardon, was summoned
before President Lincoln TO answer some
grave charges that were preferred against
him, and during his absence the heuten-
ant-gOvernor acted as governor. This gentle
man was friendly toward Fairbanks had
sometimes visited him in prison, and had as
sured him that if he ever became governor he
would pardon him. This promise was full
hleu, ana on Aprll II, lSbl, fhlrbanks lett
prison n free man. He proceeded at once to
Cincinnati, and went to the house of Levi
Coffin This veteran abolitionst had been
his firm friend, and had often sent him boxes
of supplies while he was in prison. Here he
rested for a day or two, while interested
friends ministered to his needs; then well
clothed and supplied with money, and feeling
once more like II man among men, he made
his way to Oxford, Ohio, where Miss Tileston
was then teaching. He intended to give her
happy surprise, but she had already received
an intimation of his release Her last letter
to him had been returned from the Frankfort
prison, with a few words on it written by the
warden. The angels who are supposed to
watch over the fortunes Of lovers certainly
never looked down upon n happier meeting.
The hopes and longiugs Of years were real
lied. Calvin Fairbanks and Miss Tileston
were married at Oxford in June, and went on
an extended wedding tour, proceeding by way
of the lakes to- their homes in New York and
Ma, sachusetts and continuing on TO Wash
iugton and Baltimore. A woman so fond and
faithful could not but fill every relationship
of life with fidelity, and those who knew her
personally speak Of her as most excellent
wife and mother She died in September,

An ENCOURAGING SIGN.-The railroad bust
ness, which was the first great interest to feel
the crash of 1873, has already recovered re-
markably. The earnings of the New York
Central for the past year are $1,000, 600, or
over per cent ON the stock. greater than for
the year before the Rock Island has earned
about III percent ON its stock, and the Chica-
go and Northwestern, whose common shares
have so long failed to profit its holders, has
earned per cent on both common and pre-
ferred, Will the st. Paul will pay a dividend
on both classes of its stock, after settling for
the roads that it recently purchased. The
increase in the net profits of the Pittsburg
and Fort Wayne during the past four months
has been at the rate of II million dollars n
year. All this is very encouraging, but it
must be borne in mind that il is due largely
to the immense grain crops and the acct
dent of an wncommonly large European de-
mand for breadstulIs. The recovery of 9TH
er interests is likely to be slower.

A few weeks since there appeared in
Paris newspaper the following notice.
"A widow, young and good looking, moth
er of four children, without fortune, desires
to marry wealthy and honorable man. Ad-
dress b. r."
There were three replies to this letter. A
few days after this notice appeared body
was taken from the Seine, and from evidence
obtained it was the husband of the lady now
a widow He had inserted the advertisement
finding it impossible to support his wife and
children A reply to the advertisement had
been sent by wealthy gentleman, and the
husband having ascertained that his inten-
tions were honorable, made his wife widow
by drowning himself The gentleman, upon
being informed of the facts, pledged himself
to educate the children, and whether the next
chapter will be marriage is uncertain.

A screech owl took possession of the Ian
caster pa box in which pair of martins
were building their nest, and, when they re-
turned at night would not let them enter.
The martins few away and soon returned
with whole army of companions, who went
to work and pastered the entrance to the box
tightly with mud. When the box was open
ed a few days later the owl was found dead.
When Tweed was in his glory at New
York he built 500, 600 stable for his horses
ON Fortieth street, contiguous to his Fifth av-
enue mansion. When the law pricked the
golden bubble and Tweed was sent to prison,
Alden b. Stockwell, the Pacific Mail operator,
who had palace near the stable bought the
latter and added it TO his grand establishment.
Stockwell went to Europe and was so unlucky
as to bet his money on the wrong horses up
on the English turf and ON Tuesday his ele-
giant house and stable were sold under the
auctioneer's hammer by order of the sheriff.
Gen. Baxter of Rutland, VT, became the
nominal purchaser, though Elias S. Higgins
the carpet man, is now the real owner, and
will present the property to his daughter us a
bridal gift.

A sagacious St. Louis cat observed that two
of her kittens were invariably saved and the
rest of ths litter thrown into the Mississippi.
Again becoming happy mother she hid two
of her babies in am OuthOuse and carried the
rest in a different direction. Investigation
showed that she deliberately took them to the
river and threw them in evidently preferring
TO select herself the two kittens she wished TO
rear.

REV. w. II. II, MUERAY's NEW ENGLAND
Church SCHEME. Mr.. Murray bade good
bye to his New England church at Boston
last Sunday. for his long vacation, which is to
last till the fall Of 1879. In the interim he
will endeayor to raise S2OO. 900 for the broad
church project which he bruached a week ago
mentioned in paragraph on our first page
today and further explained on Sunday
This church is to seat 5000 people with room
on the platform for chorus Of 1000 singers
In so large a room the sittings could be rent
ed very cheaply' 2OoO at $40. 1000 at So
1000 at -. 80 and 1000 at $50 each per an
mum would bring in SIS 600 and the church's
income might be safely estimated at $50, 900,
which would be ample. There should be two
permanent preachers. who should each con-
duct service ON Sunday. while third ser
vice. which would offer an absolutely free pull
pit to eminent men of whatever sect. would
be free to all. Sometimes this third service
would be great praise meeting at other
times mass temperance meeting, and 80 on.
The missions of the church would be paid for
by collections, which Mr. Murray estimates
at $4O,OOO year, every penny to be expend-
ed in Boston. This money, says MIR. Murray,
would build baths, provide dispensaries, en-
force health regulations, prevent crime, pro-
vide comforts for the INDECENT sick, assist
transient suffering. and reduce Christianity
from theory Of doctrine to a practical fact.
1t would be expended by board of 800
men and 10 women with the governor of the
State at its head, aud the mayor, chief of po-
lice and city physician among its members.
The chup.h should contain rooms for rehec-
tion, reading and prayer, and its doors never
should be closed, night or day. 1t should
have the best church organ in the country,
and its organst and musical director should
be permanently engaged with salaries so gen
erous as to give their places the dignity of
professors chair in a college. The scheme
also includes free or ten-cent concerts and
free public musical library. 1t is altogether
the most comprehensive plan and the boldest
departure in the line of church enterprises
that this nation has seen, and We fear it will
generally be regarded as purely chimerical.
But there is this about it-Mr. Murray can
make it succeed if anybody can.

To detract anything from another,
and for one man to multiply his own
conveniences of another, is more
against nature than death, than pow
erty, than pain, and the rest of external
accidents. s@e
The mind is nourished at cheap

itself can interrupt this exercise. Give,
therefore, all YOU can to a possession
which meliorates even in its old age.

both sides. Both flint and steel are
necessary toethe production Of spark;

any danger, when we can accustom our
eye to it, a great deal of apprehension

HE AND SHE.

I'll be at the window as he goes by,
AS he goes by
He'll lift his head to look at the sky,
The western sky,
To see if the sun has set for fair
And suddenly there
Against the sky in the golden air
He'll see pair
OF familiar eyes; and [ shall see
AS he looks at me
A sudden smile and nod, maybe;
All this in three
Or perhaps in four swift moments-then'
All, then.
In another moment the world OF men
For him, or. when
Tie street is turned a different face
To take my place.
While l by nv window here retrace
Each line of the face
Which smiled at me- as it passed me by
With a glance OF the eye
That swept me in with the western sky,
The sunset sky.
Tomorrow | shall be at the window when
He passed again:
He will smile and nod-and then, ali then
The same old story over again!
