A dispatch to the Titusville "Herald,"
dated June Hth says "This afternon a
man named Nick Hakar, a resident of
Columbia rami station, aged 21 years, en
terted the house of 3Ir. Dougherty, of that
place, and shot Mrs. Dougherty, the ball
entering the left breast, from the effects of
""' uiuu in twenty minutes. A man
named Thomas 3IcCool, hearing the shot,
went to the house to ascertain the trouble.
Baker, meeting him at the door, fired thc
remaining two shots at him. 3IcCool turned
to fly, but stumbled, falling on his face,
when "Baker pounced upon him, stabbing
him several times iu the back and should
cr, inflicting wounds which will prove fatal.
Baker is in custody. A strong feeling in
favor of lynching the murderder prevails."
From Vermont comes the following story
of the mishaps of a baby : '-Last Thursday
Mrs. W. J. Boyce, of Woodstock, placed
her baby, nine months old, in a baby cab
standing on the portico, to wheel it in the
street. She left it for a moment and step
ped into thc house, when the cab started,
rolled four steps to the driveway, across
that and a piece of ground some ten or
twelve rods in width, to thc bank of the
Qucchee river, thence down a bank some
fifteen feet high into the river. The moth
er had started after, but was unable to
catch up. She dashed into the river and
caught the child, but being in deep water
was obliged to let go the babe to save her
self. The housemaid had followed af
ter her, and reached the river in time to
save the mother. The baby was carried
by the current about twenty-five rods, when
a gentleman who had witnessed the affair
reached the stream aud secured the child.
A New Specific Against Hydrophobia.
Dr. Guyvala, says the British Medical
Journal, of Krivoc Ozero, Padolia, for
whose trustworthiness Professor Gubler, of
Paris, vouches, declares that after a series
of crucial trials, which he describes at
length, he has found that, after having had
opportunities of treating at least 100 cases
of men bitten by rabid dogs with the
AanlfiiuKi sjn'nosum, he has never in any
one of these cases failed to ward off hydro
phobia. He gives some startling examples.
During the Crimean war, a family of twelve
persons had been bitten by a hydrophobic
wolf. Six of them entered his wards in
the hospital of Oischanka, government of
1 0'ioJia, district ot JJalta. J hey were
treated with infusion of the leaves of xan-
thium, and all recovered. The six others,
who were treated by the actual cautery and
the daily use of Genista tinctoria and other
drugs, died with hydrophobia in the course
oi twelve to sixty days. He recounts many
other facts not less striking. For an adult
the docs is sixty centigrammes of the drv
vowder. rcric-jtwl llircn timo n l.-iv nml
continued during six weeks
- ! - -t ,
Children un-
dor twelve take half that quantity. Tl
duse for animals Is much larirer. A her
The
herd
of thirty oxens had been bitten by a mad
wolf; eight had succumbed with sj'inptoms
of hydrophobia. Ihe commissary of police
came to Lr. Urzvvala for his "antirabic
powder." He gave three ounce of the
powder, with bran, daily to each of the
animaLs ; none of them suffered from the
uiscitse. These are examples of which r
(rrzyvala says he has a hundred others
Fiat e.rpcrinniititri). We have heard too
often of specifics fbr hydrophobia not to re
gard this last claimant with sorrowful suspi
cion. But the herb is at least a harmless
one ; its ordinary propreties seem to be main
1' sudorific ; and since animals suffering
from rabies are only too frequently at hand
and the remedy is one win h grows plenti
ful! in the middle regi ns ot rrauce as
Pouoha, let us hope that our rrcnchcol
leagues will lose no time in putting the pro
phylactic to the test, aud perhaps their pro
fessors m our own vetenuary colleges might
help to set at rest the hopes this positive
and detailed etatcment is calculated to
excite
Special jSTotice.
Lkt's all be honest and confess that the cash
FVFtc-ni in biif iness is bet and safest. I f every
body adhered to it, dull times would soon flee
away, and the wail of widows and orphans,
and the deep curses of defrauded creditors,
would give place to singing. For no bad
debtf, no piuash-ups, no protested notes, ever
came of cah payment fur goods delivered.
We honor Oak Hall, the great l'hiladelphia
Clothing House, for their decided sUnd on this
principle. Of course they are able to sell
cheauer. because thev bur cheaier. Those
who have the cash to spend for clothing can
not jK)8sibly get more for it than at Wanamaker
