from the House of Refuge. is still in jail
Young Foreacre, who jumped from the
train, Is still ut large. If it We're practcl-
BILE to do SO, it would probably he advanta

Charles W. MaXwell's black setter dog,
Jack, which was bitten about three weeks
ago by a rabid dog, an account Of which
| was given in The Wig at the time, WAS
seized with hydrophobia Il few days ago and
died on Monday night This is the third
dog that has died of this disease, all of
which were bitten by the rabid dog atorc-
said. \ dog belonging to Jacob y. How
ard, which was bitten by the same rabid
dog that bit Mr.. Maxwell's, also went mad,
and was killed on Wednesday last.
A horse belonging Mr.. Walter johnson,
one our of liveryman, while being unhiI"hed
from Il buggy, on Saturday night last, hc-
came frightened at something and, getting
away from the Lostler, dashed out of the
yard and ran down North street. The ami
NAL, however, was soon brought to stop
by coming in contact with tree box, which
created a great racket, and resulted in the
breaking of the guide-pole and dashboard of
the buggy. The horse sustained a slight
injury to one of its legs and was secured
before it could extricate itself from the
debris
There may be seen at Mitchell's drug
store the thigh bone of a buffalo, or some
other animal of the cow kind, that was
taken from Il lot of South American bones
at SCOTS bone mill, which illustrates, in Il
remarkable manner the efforts that Nature
makes to repair fractured bones. This bone,
which is quite large, has evidently been
obliquely broken the fracture being six or
seven inches in length. What is still more
wonderful, it seems to have been badly shat
tered, notwithstanding which it has firmly
united, which no doubt enabled the animal,
to which it belonged, to walk rs well, though
probably not as lively as before it was broken
