A SINGULAR CASE.

TIE Symptoms of Violent HydrophObis
Resulting From the Bite of Water
M0ccasin Snake-The Patient Recover.
ing.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 13.-Mr. VIM
Reed, while bathing in Flat creek, Lear
Shelbyville, Tenn, few weeks ago, be-
gan to feel around under rocks for fish.
He caught what lie thought was q fish,
but upon bringing it to the surface of the
water found it to be a large water moc-
casin. The snake bit Mr.. Reed on the
thumb, but, as it was killed,
nothing was thought of it until .
few days ago, when Mr.. Reeds
hand began to swell, throwing him
into q violent feves. He became deliri-
Gus and wanted to bite every one who
came near his bed. 1t required the COM
bined strength of several men to confine
him to his bed. Several medical men
were called in, and all their efforts seemed
futile, as the symptoms were all similar
to those in cases Of hydrophobia. The
constant attendance and skill of his ply
sicians, however, pulled him through,
and he is now getting well.

Rugged them close to their breasts and left
with joyful hearts. All along Cottage
