The Terrible Downfall OF Once Prominent
Philadelphia Lady Through Her Inordi-
nate Love for Drink-Desth Among Rags
and squalor.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, February IA
woman who belonged to one Of the best
families in Philadelphia, died in a
wretched frame house on Kaign's avenue,
Camden, n. j., at an early hour yester-
day morning, from the effects of an as
sault on her by two young negroes, VIII
liam Fisher and John Burley, on the l4th
of January The elyaswoman once the hand
some and accomplished wife of ex-Judge
Woodward, and moved in the best So
ciety. She became addicted to drink,
and her downfall was rapid and
terrible Her friends, for a long time,
tried to reclaim her, but at last they were
compelled TO abandon her, though they
fixed upon her an income sufficient 10
maintain her in comfort. After she was
given up by her relatives, she became
utterly abandoned, aud associated with
the viest characters, aud was continu-
ally under the influence of liquor. Some
years ago she moved to Camden to the
uOuSt NHtlt sue ulth, dhu MI iui NJ
ture and clothing attracted much atten-
ton in that squalid neighborhood, by
their expensive quality. But she
died in the midst of filth and
rags. Early in the evening
of January l4th the residents OF the neigh
| borhood heard screams in Mrs Wood
wards residence, and upon breaking into
| the house, found the unfortunate woman,
/ bound aud gagged, lylng In a pool OF
/ blood Fisher and Bailey were arrested
| for the assault, and the latter having
/ turned States evidence, the men were
| sentenced by Judge Read to five and six
years respectively in the State Prison.
| The death of Mrs. Woodward was
caused, beyond doubt by the
| brutal kicks and blows she received at
the hands of the negroes, and from
which she had been suffering ever since
the attack. DR.. Wills, the physician who
has been attending her, says her death is
the result of the injuries, and refuses to
give certificate of death until a post
I mortem examination is made. Monday
evening she sent a message to III. Sco-
Vile, Esq, to come TO her house and
write her will. Thinking it one OF her
many whims, Scoville did not go. About
three O'Clock yesterday morning the
woman spoke her last words and at 7:45
O'Clock she died.

CHRONIC DlARRHGA.
The Causes Producing the Disease In Cat
tle-The Cure.


tle-The Cure.
There are various causes productive
Of chronic diarrhGa, as there are also
of acute; and though the first some
times has the latter for its cause, the
effects are different in each disease, as
are the causes producing them. For
instance, that which would produce
acute diarrhpa in sound animal
would not materially affect one
suffering from chronic d arrhpa. That
they are two stinct diseases may be
adduccd from the fact that an animal
suffering from an attack of the acute
form is quickly and successfully treated
by remedies which would have no effect
on one suffering from the disease in q
chronic form.
There are different kinds of this dis
ease, of which one is intermittent, and
is believed on that account by many
country people to be influenced by the
moon This has its cause in weakened
state of the liver, and its consequent
susceptibility of becoming easily and
unduly excited by different agents;
which. being removed, the animal, to
use the phrase of its owner, "soon gets
well agan." Another kind is that to
which yearlings are subject. when
calves have not had proper food. or
have been fed on sloppy food. with
view of saving the cows milk. This
kind of chronic diarrhea, If improperly
treated, renders the career of the ami
NAL short; but # submitted at once to
proper treatment, and there be not
considerable structural arrangement OF
the liver there is still favorable pros
pect of recovery.
To the other kind. of all the most
subject TO it, are cows which are good
mixers, but why they are so we will
not attempt here TO explain, unless IL
be that there is greater demand upon
the system. and that they are more IN
adyertently exposed TO the inclemen.

out of a comfortably warm stable intoa

where they become exposed to cold
wet or frosty atmosphere, and arc a.

the purpose OF being MIXED. In our
experience the disease has predomi-
mated with the first where the latter has
