slightly passed on and joined a group
of girls in the yard. The next mori-

find her in one of his classes. He did
not know her name yet, and when the

ing his desk, be asked her to stop

President Brentford ruled the school
entirely by kindness. There were no
written rules, Or most likely they would
have been disobeyed. But they heard
his wishes from his own mouth. and
very few transgressed them. Of course
the teachers were often disobeyed, as
poor impatient Monsieur Garou could
we'll testify, but they were pretty sure
to respect the wishes of their president.
Out of the school house the teachers
were very sociable, and converssd
with the girls almost as freely as with
each other. 1t was observed that In
dia Lester considered the "rather good
looking" Professor agreeable, for she
was often seen eonversiHg with him,
and that he did not seem averse to
long conversations with the heiress,
But this was not strange the girls said,
for India was one of his best scholars,
and of course she would on that account
be a fayorite ofhis. Be that as it may,
the proud girl felt a hot flush rise to-
her face at his approach, which no other
had ever been able to call fogth. A
young professor in ladies school is to
be pitied. They ridicule, abuse and
criticise him most numerically. Every
article of dress and every action must
run the gantlet of criticism. If he
scolds them the least bit they will not
soon forgive him for it.


Ifa lady teacher does not scold them
for unlearned lessons, give them short
ones, and in short, lets them do pretty
much as they please, she is called sweet
and 'as kind as she can be- but if the
young Professor does so. he is goose
and mot strict enough for teacher

WORCESTER, Mass, June 2I.-An in
quest has been in progress here to-day on
the body of Cronan, killed by the explosion
yesterday; the investigation brought out
fact that the car which exploded contained
one box of 100 explosives used in blasting
and ten cases the contents of which are
not known, but are supposed to have been
anolyne or explosive &C parts of which
are nitro glycerine. Several clerks in the
Boston freight Office were examined as
well as the conductor of the train, and all
those that were near at the time of the
explosion. The inquest viii probably last
several days, as it is determined that the
matter shall be sifted to the bottom. The
boxes mention were directed to Shirley of
North Adams, one of the Hoosac Tunnel
contractors, and he will be examined
before the jury.


No deaths have occurred among the

Smallpox has been and is still prevailing
virulently among the convicts at the peni-

time three or four deaths from this cause.
There are now thirty or forty cases, twenty
of which are of a malignant character. The
mahgnancy of the disease has been very
much intensified by the warm weather and
the crowded condition of the patients. Ad.
ditional hospital accommodations were pre-
pared yesterday, and those suffering with
the disease provided with better means of
ventilation, which, with the proper medical
care they receive, il is hoped will arrest the
spread of the contagious malady.

Subscribed and sworn to before me this
9th day of October. 1870.


It will be observed that this oath is in strict
conformity with Caldwell's opinion and that,
even under Radical Interpretation, the Super
visor and Inspectors of election will render
themselves liable to the penalties of the en-
forcement act, if they refuse to receive the
vote of any citizen presenting this affidavit
and demanding the right of depositing his
ballot. They cannot evade or deny it.


We earnestly call upon every legally quail
ifed white voter in the State who has been
denied registration or who has been stricken
from the list, to procure copy of the form
of affidavit presented above have it properly
filled up and sworn to; and present it at the
polls on the day of the election. Copies al
ready have been widely distributed through
out the State, and may be obtained by appli.
cation to the Democratic Committee in the
several counties, or by writing to this Office.
We appeal to every man who can take this
oath. to avail himself of the advantage it af.
fords, and compel the officers of the election
to receive and count his vote, even though his
name be not found upon tho books of regis
tration. Should the officers at the polls dare
to refuse, they unquestionably do so at their
peril. .ei-r

THE NICTIM-A FURIOUS LUNATIC-fo oUH
POLICE FFIcERs NECESSARY TO TAKE HIM
TO THE HosPITAL-HE SHUDDERs AND GOES
| INTO SPAsMs AT THE SIGHT OF WATBR.-ThC


worst symptoms of hydrophobia were de.
veloped yesterday in the case OF Edward
Krueg. German, fifty y-seven years of age,
krueg is very tall, six feet at least, and has
gray beard and whiskers. His expression


of face Is gaunt and haggard, and when in


one of his temporary attacks of madness


he raves quite frantically, and his appear
ance is well calculated to excite horror. He
lost the use of one eye some years ago. He
is laid to have been an engineer, but has


not been actually engaged for some time
He is also a man of family. The particulars
of the dog-biting which led to such shock


ING results are as follows:


The unfortunate man was playing with q
dog about six weeks ago, and received a
Slight wound from its teeth on the hand:
The first unfavorable symptoms exhibited
themselves about six days ago, and the aid
of DR.. RimDerger was called IN. lie then


pronounced it a case of hydrophobia. The
patient became worse, and to the ordinary
symptoms of the disease, dread OF water and


spasms, accompanied with dog-like utter
ance, was added at.times the wild behavior


Of desperate lunatic.


The health officer was notified of the


case Yesterday, and requested to take the


sick man to the hospital. An ambulance


was sent to the address given, and the doc
tor went there himself, but only had faint
idea OF the reception he was going to meet
| with. Krueg was found sitting up in bed
with a razor in one hand and a loaded rifle
in the other, prepared for all corners. His
delusion at the time was that he was going
to he killed, and that he ought to defend
himself. The ambulance driver was obliged
to call in the aid of the police, and four otti-


GERS We're assigned to the task OF escorting


the furious patient to the hospital. The old
man gesticulated and raved considerably
but he was in time safely ensconded IN
comfortable cell at the city hospital.


After being there short time the patient
was restored somewhat to rational tran
guilty. He is subject, however, to paroX-


ysms and convulsions, and is fully aware


when they are coming on. He has not eaten


or drank anything since Saturday, and


water he cannot even bear to see, shudder-


ing and gasping when it meets his eyes, or


ANYTHING like it. In his calm moments he


has said that he would like some bread


soaked in beer, and this diet will probably


be allowed him for time.


There is something unusual about the
case, and some hopes are entertained that
the patient may recover under medical
treatment. AS the awful disease of hydro
phobia is, however, clearly indicated, such
result is hardly probable. The dog which
bit this man was not supposed to be mad ut
the time, but few days afterward 1t had
