She was bit ten some weeks since, over the eye, the wounds exhibiting the prints of the teeth. The cat had been bitten by a dog, which was ascertain ed to be rabid, and the parents, being alarmed, submitted the case to Dr. Moore of Gosport. No decided symptoms of the horrible disease, however, were manifested until Saturday last, the 15th, when drowsiness and nervous excita bility at the approach of fluids were exhibited by the child. On Sunday the poor sufferer grew wild and frantic, and during the day was thrown into violent spasms. The convulsions which shook the frame of the patient were re doubled with frightful intensity at the approach of fluids, every nerve repelling its vicinity with spasmodic horror. The disease, ou Monday, exhibited still more definite symptoms of mad ness, a flashing of the eye and frothing of the mouth accompanying the convulsions. Drs. Leonard and Gould were called, and adminis tered cblorororm which temporarily produced a quieting effect ; but relief was beyond the skill of man. The awful suffering's of the child were protracted until Wednesday even ing, when it was relieved by death. THE MURDERERS OF MATTHWS.— The prophet ess is yet in jail, and is confined in the same cell with Abigail Sables and Thankful S. Her sey. They spend most of their time in the cell in prayer, and seem to regard the whole pro ceedings thus far as a " persecution" instead of a " prosecution." The prophetess says she has a revelation from God every night ! There is much interest taken in these deluded wo men by our citizens, who visit the jail in large numbers to see them. We were wrong in stating Thursday morning that Israel Wood ing had been released from jail. He still re mains in jail, but is merely detained as a wit ness. It is quite improbable that Sly and Mrs. Hersey may have their trial before the Superior Court, now in session.— JVetc Haven ( Conn.)

Et.WTRK-iAX, of Towanda, respect fully informs the public that be has lately procured from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath, which has proven to be one of the most Jimportaut and wonderful discoveries of the age. from its ability to extract minerals from the human system. Some eight years ago, a physician of Cincinnati disco vered the process of extracting minerals from the body, by galvanism ; more recently, M. Verges, of New York, an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introdnetion of poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of his art, conceived the idea of removing them by the same processes, he succeeded in doiug so, and quickly recovered. He then applied the same means to others similarly af fected, with like results. His success exceeded his nio;t sanguine expectations, for not only did these Baths remove mineral pofsons, but cured many diseases, some of which were the result of minerals, and some were not. More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin gular power of this Bath to draw from the system all mi nerals that may be lodged therein, to the great detriment of health. Very often persons are atilkted by diseases which are beyond the comprehension of the most skilful physicians, and which are the effect of poisonous mine rals accumulating in the system tor years, taken in the shape of calomel, lead. Ac. Ac. The following are some of the diseases cured by these baths : Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's Choiic. Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer, Xeuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all kinds. He has also S. B. Smith's newly invented DIRECT AND TO-AKD FKO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE, which is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto fore in nee. With the' aid of the Bath and Machine, we have at command all the available medical eflfiricney of Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is verv great, in introducing medicines into the system through the pores of the skiu—applyiug it directly to the part- af fected, which gives an increase of medicinal power over that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular ly efficacious in all local diseases. F am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the Machines, at my house in the south part of the borough of Towanda, or 1 will visit patients at a distance, who are unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mo derate price*. lam also sole agent for Bradford countv, for the al>ote Machines.
