A ease of hydrophobia, a parallel or wblob has never been recorded in the medl esl book, bs oociirred la West Philadel phia. Tie faclt, at related by a physician, ire these: A little girl on returning home from tehool lo the afternoon wae met by her pet dog, which began jumping and barking about ber In aa unusual way. To drtv him away, tbe took the skirt of ber dress od thook it at him. Tbit teemed to irri tate tbe almal, wbiob, springing forward, snapped at the dress and tore a large rent la It. Worried at the Injury to the gar ment, tbe little girl, without mentioning tbe matter to any of the family, went lo her room, and g tllng a needle and thread, pro ceeded to tew up the torn place. Wbon it was finished, the bent down ber teeth, bit it off. Nine days alter the occurrence ot this accident,. tymptomt of hydrophobia mani fested tbsmselvst la the unfortunate girl. -Skilled medical talent was called in, and every appliance tbat science could afford to relieve the sufferer was resorted to. Bui the subtle poison bad done Its work too thoroughly for tuman skill to avail, and tbe little girl bat since died. Eminent author ities on the subject have contended tbat by drophobia cannot be communloated through an unbroken outicle. Whether tbe little girl swallowed a portion of the saliva, or whether It was communicated tnrougn ner lip, tbe akin of.whlcb may bavo been "chap. ped" or broken, we cannot say, but osrtain- lv. In either case tbe occurrence was as re markable as it was unfortunate. "Have we a poet in our midst T" is aques lion tbat bas never been satisfactorily an swered as yet.

A Massachusetts paper tells a ttrange ttory of a dream to wbicb is attached more than ordinary Interest. It is to tbe effrct tbat while tbe schooner Belvidere was sail' ing from tbe Georges to Cape Ann, Ibe cap tain, Samuel Ewell, dreamed be law float ing upon tbe ssa a dead body, and lo bis distress at seeing bis vessel run over it, b e wakened.

Be fore they could grapple it a wave washed it under tbe vessel. After Ibis Ibe Captain could not reit until be bad tent a boat after It and it waa secured. Upon opening the box, lying upon a bed otsea weed, they found tbe body of a little girl, whose golden bair lay over her forehead, concealing tbe marks of probably ber doatb blows. Sbe was nicely dressed, abont four years old, sod bsd evidently been dead about ten days As tbey were not near land, aud as decom position would certainly set In before tbey could reach there, they bad lo sink tbe box 'n tbe ocean.
