tho survivors of the Seventeenth Regi-
ment, 8. @. ", assembled at Chester

Instances names had to be inquired for.
Lean, lanl Confederate soldiers had
grown into corpulent beings Of the.al-
dermanic style, beardless boys had
become middle-aged men. After two
or three hours spent in Misunderstanding
and general conversation, asking after
families, speaking Of dead comrades
and the like, tho Regiment was
formed in tho grove near, tho Baptist
church by ex-Adjutant 8. II. FAINT, and
marched to- the courthouse. Here the
Agricultural Society was In session at
the time, but they kindly adjourned
and gave tho old veterans tho use of
the hall for their meeting. Assembled
IN the courthouse, the meeting was
addressed by Col. McMaster, who
gave narration Of the movements Of
the command from its organization at
Columbia In November, 1861, to the

HYDRorHoBIc HoGs.-Mr. Middle
ton Armstrong, Of this county, has
lost number of hogs that manifested
all the symptoms of hydrophobia.
Several weeks ago small dog was
seen to run through Mr.. Armstrong;
pasture, swapping and foamipg and
evidently mad. In the pasture were
u number of hog, and they attacked
the dog as he ran through them. A
fight cnsued in which the dog was
severely wounded, and it was in fact
nearly dead when a final blow by some
one dispatched it. Two weeks after
several Of the hogs that had engaged
in the combat began to sicken, and in
few days they become so seriously
affected and cvinccd so many symp-
toms of madness that they were killed.
Two weeks later, and about a week
ago, two more hogs that had been
running with those who had gone
mad were also seized with hydrophc :
bia. They were Kept to themselves q
day or so, during which time num-
ber Of gentlemen, among them DR..
Robertson and Major Woodward,
went out to SEQ them. One hog was
more seriously affected than the other,
and was unable to get about. 1t lay
foaming, its limbs rigid as in lockjaw,
and its jaws swapping furiously at
anything coming near. The other
hog was able to walk, but its motions
were unsteady, and it had no power
of volition, its limbs refusing to take
it where it wished to go. At inter-
walls it was seized with fit, especially
iftouched, and would rear straight
up, falling backward, fonming and
swapping viciously. Tho hogs were
finally shot, and an examination was
made. Ono had slight, halfhealcd
cash on it's side, apparently made by a
tusk, and the supposition is that it
was bitten by ono Of the hogs that
first went mad. This is but one of
many cases of hydrophobia among
animals in reported in this county.
Whether it is genuine hydrophobia or
some other strange disease is not
known. Mono of the persons who
have been bitten by dogs supposed to
be mad, have experienced any un-
pleasant results. 1t may be that this
is but new disease attacking animals,
and not the genuine article Of hydro.
phobia.
