Extraordinary Case of Hydrophobia.
Mr. Stephen Lee died near Peekskill, N. Y.,
on Wednesday, the 10th ult.,, of hydrophobia.
It appears he was bitten on the little finger by
•a small dog - , in May last, but thought little - of
it until the Ist ult., when his finger became
painful. This be attributed to rheumatism,
until he went to a pail of water for a dria.—
The moment the water touched - his lips a, sud
den convulsive and jerking movement of his
throat and c hest - thit - w - hi - s --- han - d - ft - tMT - Kii
mouth. .Surprised at such a strange -act be
again carried the cup „to his mouth, and the
-- same -violent - throe - eusued --He made the -third
attempt, and with the same result. It then,
for the first time, struck him that he had the
11 — '.di'lelYSentcffionie
tydrophobia. .e rmrne l
of his friends, one of whom writes :
I -tried him with water -three times, but at
each time it produced the most violent spas
modic repelling throes of the throat and chest,
and a suspension of his breath, with a sense of
suffocation. -The total was so painful to him
and his family that no further attempt to
swallow water was made. Even the sight of
water brought on the same feeling of repulsion
and suffocauon,'nnd on Wednesday tie told me
that even the thought of water Suffocated him.
He could drink hot fluids, hotrever, When
brought to his month from below- his chin, out
of his sight, yet even these produced spasms in
a less degree ;. but when he directed his eyes
to some distant object above the fluid he could
swallow ; but it rrq , iired to be done quickly,
and it was followed by a sudden backward
jerk at the close.
For three days or so he often experienced
Sudden spasmodic throes of his whole body
backwards, as he was sitting or walking ; and .
he expressed his fears that he should soon have
general convulsions ; but he never bad them.
-- If difhcu ,f

when they began to subside, and by Friday
evening they left entirely, so from that time he
could swallow even water freely.
On Wednesday evening he complained much
of his bitten finger and hand paining.him, and
on Thursday morninc• ° his whole left arm was
palsied. On Friday his right arm failed and
was soon completely paralyzed : and on Satur
day-the paralysis was universal and complete,
except in the respiratory muscles. These
maintained their integrity, for he breathed
easily until the last-moments of his life.
His mind was clear and calm. fie was
pleasant, courteous and affectionate to all, giv
ing no one a short word.' He suffered no pain_
after Wednesday, but he felt a constant and
extremely strange and horrible sensation all
over him. This was much worse at night, -so
that he slept none the first three days and
nights, and but little, the remaining nights ex
cept the last twe Some nights his agony
was so great._ that he was out and irr bed every
ten. minutes the whole time. On Saturday
morning, after a night of horror, and constant
rising and lying down, he went into a, deep
sleep. On Sunday morning his mind began to
wander, yet he could always recognize coun
tenances. His reason declined until Wednes
day morning, when he became insensible : and
at 8 o'clock, A. M., he quietly and without a
struggle resigned his spirit into the hands of
his Maker.
Commercial Troubles of the War.
England has felicitated herself that she could
carry on the war with Russia, that !lather en
dangered_her vessels on the high seas nor
stopped any branch of ,her- trade
with the world, without exposing herself to any
of those commercial embarrassments or finan
cial revulsions which experience has proved to
be the unavoidable accompaniments of war. It
must be confessed that the results of the war up
to a late period had done much to warrant such
conclusions, and that with her trade returns
showing almost as high a state o_f prosperity as
during a period of actual peace with money in
good supply, low rates of interest maintained,
and public -confidence seeming, to
_gather
strength day by day, she has presented the
Heretofore anomalous , spectacle of a . nation
whose-energies appeared capable of prosecuting
an energetic war abroad without lessening , its
devotion to the arts of peace and commerce at
home. But precisely at the moment when
such a result was- least expected, the cloud of
commercial and financial embarrassment has
risen ; the .shouts of triumph over- the fall of
Sebastopol arc checked by considerations con
nected with the financial future, and in the
perspective are seen the menacing' forMs of na
tional industrial prostration, national bank
ruptcy and national stagnation, against which
no bravev in the field or wisdom in the cabi
net can ptevail.
The itninediate cause now impressing upon
the English .mind a clear perception of those
clingers of the war that come as natural and
inevitable consequences, and which foresight
and prudence may lessen but cannot hope en
tirely- to avoid, is the drain of specie that has
been'going on in a steady and unceasing vol
ume. In six weeks the bank of England has
lost $15,000,000 in bullion, has increased its
rates of interest from four to five and a half
er cen and eon ols have falleu_frcun_924
874. These are facts that can be appreciated
by the commercial mind of England—they are
figures of arithmetic more potent than those of
oratory, and worth at least a battle to the Rus
sians. The London Times meets the question
they present boldly and earnestly, admitting
that it prefigures "that mitigated form of na
tional bankruptcy•which consists in a suspen
sion of specie payments."
The effect of this adverse condition of mone
tary affairs in England and Franco upon this
country will be a question that will engage
attention. With the intimate commercial re
lations existing it is scarcely possible that we
shall entirely escape ill consequences flow a
suspension of specie payments in England and
France. But the damage inflicted upon us
will be more in the imagination than reality,
and its influences can scarcely survive the-sub
sidence of the panic that permits a cool exam
ination of our own condition and strength.
There is no probability that • Europe can do
without either our breadstuffs or cotton, and,
with these to keep the balance of our exchanges"
in our favor, any large or permanent drain of
specie from this country could only be effect
ed by measures which, violating the laws of
trade, would be promptly and certainly pun
ished by an assertion of their itninutakility
which those laws would• establish at the cost
of their violators; Th . .Lthe United
fates is cm tainly one of strength compared
with what it was a few years ago, -and if Eu
rope has to undergo the calamities which now
appear so iintninont, we may grant to their
misfortunes our sympathies, but will be under
no necessity to sulkr with them.

C .-- The first trial under the new Liquor Law
commenced in the Allegheny County Court of
Quarter Sessions, at Pittsburg. on Monday--
The indicttnent contained three counts, charg
ing the defendant with, maintaining a house
for' the sale of liquors, keeping liquor for sale,
and, selling liquor. At the outset of the case
; the defendant's . counsel objected to the indict
ment on the ground that the prosecutor,_ being
of his a constable, was not a responsible Jerson in
--Tr, his the eye of the law, as he cannot be held for
cost. The Judge decided that the constable
was perfectly competent to act as prosecutor,
—as it-did not , follow - , - even — iflic — lost - the case,
that the costs would be put upon him, the ju
ry having the power to Say whether the coun
ty, the dandant, or the prosecutor should
pav them. Counsel then filed a lopg protest.
r'acrainst the indictment. --The trial occupied
three days, resulting in a verdict of guilty on
the three counts, and the defendant, William
Bennet, being absent, his bonds were forfeited,
and a process issued for leis -arrest.
SCARCITY OF 110R.ES is EI;ROPE.—A corres
pondent of the Spirit of the Times, writing
from Paris under date of May 31st, remarks
on the state of the London horse market as
follows : •'Ladies' saddle horses are not to be
had, neither are carriage ,horses, which will
surprise you. In thirteen days' search I could
not find a decent pair for sale at any price. If
this war lasts another year, the . Europeans
will be importing horses from America,' and
it would be well worth the attention of our
farmers and breeders to raise large horses, fit
to draw a heavy carriage, or carry a heavy.

still to be found by pityifig for them : a first

/FT' HOLLOWAY'S OINT.111:NT AND Pn.t.s ' a Certain cure
for Scald Heads. —Henry. 32, Maria, 10, and John Ames. 9.
of Apalachicola. Florida, were all three affected with this
disagreeable malady; Maria, in particular, was in a wretched
plight with it, and although there were many remedies
tried, yet the malady did not seem to decrease. indeed, the
disease spread itself all over the surface of the head, to the
great annoyance of the parents and discomfiture of the
child; the blood of the °diets was equally impure. At
last the parents put the three under a course of Holl o w a y's
Ointment and Pills, which cured them all in the spate of
nineteen .days. Their health has since considerably im
proved. These remedies are wonderfully efficacious in all
diseases of the skin.
