On Feb. 9 a dog on tne place OF DR..

that he ais bit several other pers ms
but of that there is no certain lntor-
nation. 1t was suspected thai the
dog had rabies and maj stone was
brought and applied to both the
young lady and young man and 1T
that no harm would ever como from
the animals bite but on Monday
var. Robinson was taken violently ill
Yesterday he was much worse and
his ymptoms were 50 suspicious that
a consultation of physicians were
called in, They were quite undecided
about the matter until in the after
noon-whsn the patient was taken
with spasms and gave ether unmis-
taxable evidences of that most dread
ed of all things-hy Ev-
erythiug possible was done to relieve
his suffering, and at $50 p. IN. yester-
day he died. The m,st remarkable
thing about this case is that he was
perfectly conscious up TO the time OF
his death, and knew that he had ny
drophobis He begged them to
tie him in the bed lest
he might lose his senses aud hurt
some one, but that was considered
unnecessary. When he found
stronger symptoms coming on he i'll
structad them to hold his hands and
head. Great al arm ia felt in Bruce
Vile over r ,binson's death, as there
was no doubt but that it was geDu-
Inc case of hydropho bia, and as other
people were bitten by the same dog,

Buying Up ola Grinders.

that they are worth anything second

at his own figure.
He told the writer that many sets of
false teeth are found. Owners are more
careless of them than is supposed, and
instances are more frequent than would
