requires time for the reproductive pre-
cess to be completed; and this process
may be fastened or retarded by various
conditions of the recipient. Hydropho-
bis seems to require . period of incuoa-
ton. Circumstances favor the Matching
process, and whenever that which Is
necessary TO develop it occurs, the new
brood leaves its birthplace in the cieatri1

A PROBABLE CURE.
As the treatment applied to this par
ticular case has been attended with good
results up 10 this time, l deem it of
sufficient importance TO give it. l. is
very simple and the physician assured
me that he was indebted TO q newspaper
paragraph for it. II is simply to apply
ether TO the outside of tha throat and
neck, and give internally q mixture OF
scull-csp and sherry. Under this treat
ment the condition of the patient has
wonderfully improved, until now, the
third week, there is every prospect OF
a cure. The spssms have almost en-
tirely abated. The blisters have left
the tongue snd the process of swallowing
is accompanied with but little pain.
Two days ago, when taxing advantage
of bright, warm Spring Gay, rode
over on horseback to see the case and to
gather the full particulars as I have
given them above, 1 found the patient in
repose, but exhibiting a condition of
idiocy. Her mother informed me that
shs had not spoken q word for week,
but seemed to De growing stronger, and,
as she thought, was wonderfully i'm

!. The following further particulars re-
garding the murder of the three persons
on Long Drain Run, on the 10Th instant,
have been learned:
It appears that Mrs. George Wallace
(qliGs George Baker, was induced by
John Wallace to come to his John
Wallaces house under the impression
that John Wallace's wife was very sick,
and, from circUmstantial evidence, John
Wallace must have made improper
advances towards her, to which
Mrs. Baker objected. To avoid his
bruta, Intentions and TO save herself she
ran 20 the woods. Foot prints show that
she must have been rapidly pursued by
John Wallace, as the foot prints made IN
the ground correspond with the size and
nails in his boots. She was pursued near-
" half q mile down the hill, and the
leaps made were from four to six feet
each. She Was trying to get to her sisters
house.
The Murderer In Custody.
The authorities searched John Wal
lace and found PAIR of steel knuckles
in his pocket. with which hs is supposed
TO have done the deed. George Baker
states that Jonn Wallace killed the per-
sons, and John Wallace states that
Baker did the deed. George Baker
states further that John Wallace killed
them with a small hammer, which
he directed the Jury to go ana
find. The hammer was found
and had blood on it. There was also
blood on John WaIlace's clothes. He
mad changed MS shirt, which was still
wet from his trying to wash the blood
out OF it. The brother also changed MS
clothes.
As John Wallace was at Littieton and
intended going to Cameron on train No.
10, but failed TO do so, next morning he
gave the alarm in different clothes. He
vas at the Pump House at s o'clock P. N,
md did lot get to his own house IN I'll
I2 80 on the morning of the Goth. He
.ook of bis boots and creased them,
which he had never done before since he
was married, so his fsther-in-iaw states.
The Jury.
The following IS the list of jurors I'M
,aneled and are now taking evidence:
Charles Horner, John A. hoge, Joseph !
Ladamson, e. T. ThrockmortOn, James

Saving In MaiiContracts.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-It is stated
that the Postotice Depsrtment.savIng to
the Government in the recent mail let
tings over the present contract prices
exceeds 8 million dollars. It Is difficult,
however, to Judge what the ultimate
savings may be, rs 1t is not altogether
certain that some parties who have con-
trscted to carry the mails at cheap rates
may not find themselves able 70 carry
out the contracts.
