DEATH FROM HYDRopHoBIA.-A most
remarkable death from hydrophobia oc-
curred on the 23d instant, near Lamar, in
Bacton County, Mo. The victim was
prominent citizen Of that locality, named
John Halem. Twelve years ago he was
bitten by mad dog, and the wound healed
up, never giving him any pain, and the oc-
curreLce had nearly been forgotten. On
Friday he was suddenly taken with conyul-
sions Of a terrible nature. He continued
thus until Tuesday, when he died. The
first two days of his convulsions he was
perfectly rational, aud on Sunday became
crazy. His death aud sutFeripgs were ter
rible to witness, it taking four stout men to
hold him. He leaves a wife and two chill.
