The accounts published recently of several cases of hydrophobia iu various parts of the country, nnd the occurrence ot a tatnl case in ew i ork city, recently, says tue Urtoune, re iniiiu us oi a iiuuioer oi nuuuiur crrurs re- . .. ., . ., , ,. 11 , . , M'Bttlug this terrible disease, which it may be worth while to try to Correct. In the remind us ol a number ot popular errors re- first place the very cuuie of the iuaa,dy, so tar tit least as it relers to clogs, is not nit-rely entirely inappropriate, but is the cause of a very dangerous misapprehension. Tile word means t'eiir of water, cod it is commonly supposed that a dread of water is the great distinguishing symptom of canine madness, and thut a dug who will drink must be safe. Nothing can bo further Irom the truth. The indefinable nnd terrible dread of water ftliich" characterizes the later stages of hy drophobia in mini, ia not noticed in touting iu oue case out of fifty ; on the contrary, one of the principal symptoms is a burning and unquenchable thirst. Why there should he such a remarkable difference between the manifestations of the disease in tnnn nntl in tli brute, no one kuows ; but it is impor tant thut the difference should be borne in mind. Another great mistake is in attributing hydrophobia to the heat of the ''dog duvb,-' and we dure suy tiicre arc many people who suppose that the. warm summer months re ceive that popular nume, because it is in theui that dogs run mad. But in point of fact, July aud August are just the period when hydrophobia is leust common ; nnd w hatever muy be Ihe cause of the malady, nothing is more certain than that heat is not tho caflse. In the burning regions ;o!' Equatorial Africa, where all the villages are' overrun with dogs, 5f. J)u Chaillti remarks that hydrophobia is unknown even by re port. It is unknown in Cyprus nnd Egypt; it used to be unknown in Jamaica; and it has never been seen in the Island of Madei ra, where curs of every description abound, tormented by disease, insects, thirst und famine. The cruel experiment has even been tried of chaining dugs to a wall under a burning sun until they died of thirst, but they .showed no symptoms 'of- rabidness. -Careful records of canine madness are kept at the veterinary schools of Alfort, Lvous and Toulouse, in France, and from these it apiears that tlie majority of cases occur not iu tho hottest but in tha xrcttett months., There are twice and three limes as many in .April, November and December, ns in June, July and August. Probably no Accurate register I nut ever been kept in this country, but we have no doubt that the disease is more prevalent in the wet spring months than at any oihcr time of the year. Wc dare say that very few of the minimis which are killed in the streets under the supposition thut they are mad, really have hydrophobia, the popular idea of what con- , etitulcs a tund dog being fur from accurate. The ijmptouis,. however, are unmUtakable to an ..experienced ere. .. The. dog usually lugin by bting s'ltlleD nnd restless. ', He displays extraordinary anxiety about triviul or imaginary objects. lie is subject to Btriioge hallucinations, sometimes of a plea snnt, but oftener of a fearful nature. His nppetite is depraved ; he refuses his usual food, and is eager for everything that is filthy and horrible. His limbs fuil hiu; ; he has a sudden and violent itching of the ear ; he paws the corners of his mouth ; he seems insensible to pain, so much so that a mad dog has been known to seize and bold witb his mouth a red-hot poker, and another to gnaw his tail off close to the base. The voice changes in a very remarkable inunner. There is a foaming at the mouth, but is al ways less than ia observed in epilepsy or nausea, and never lasts long. Tlie stories of mad dogs covered with foam arc fabu lous. . Dogs recovering from or attacked by a fit are sometimes seen in this state ; but fits have no relation whatever to madness. Then we have the violent thirst which we have already mentioned. Uuless the animal is naturally ferocious, he shows no disposi tion to bite until he reaches the last and most violent Btage of the disease, and indeed not always then. On the contrary, Ids af fection for his master seems to bo increased, and he is incessantly attempting to lick the hands and face of the person he loves. This is propensity which must be carefully guarded uguinst. It is not the bite of the mad dog which is poisonous, but his saliva, which may be introduced into the syBtem through the mucous membrane of the lips, or any little abrasion of the skin, as well as through a wound umdo by the animal's teeth. In man, a dread of water is an invariable symptom. . The terror increases witb the attempt to swallow, and sometimes the mere sound of liquid falling in a vessel, or the sight, or even the mention of it, will pro duce the same effect. A draught of cold air, or the sight of mirror, has also been known to produce a paroxysm. And it is quite certain that these distressing symp toms are not the effect of imagination, tor they have been noticed in youug children and idiots who could never have heard of hydrophobia, nor, of course, have had any preconceived notions about it. At the same time there is a violent thirst. The patient is SDiioyed by the secretioj of a thick, vis cid saliva, and tries to free himself of it by blowing and spitting. There is a paiuful stiffness in the back of the neck ; the brea thing is hurried ; delirium or mania often, but not' always, comes on, and death ensues commonly' on, .the, second or third day. There is no, authenticated aasf cure on record. - Death alone putt aa' end o tho1 suffering. ' 1 ' ' ' .

Iri, llnrbiltou fcounty. Indiana, ' lit ! which the patient,' n ynunir worpun, i fid (I d'osr about before.. The . attack began with a repug nance to water, out there were no very se vere symptoms until the third day, when she suddenly began grinding her teeth, and then fell on the floor, gnushing her jaws, and horribly convulsed. She bit furiously at every one who came near her. A second spasm came on soon afterward, during which she is described as "snapping, snarl ing and yelling," like a cur dog. She bit her hands terribly, nnd bit pieces out of the bed-clothes. Thu pnroxysins lasted five or six days, after which the disease yielded to treatment, and in ten days the patient was pronounced convalescent .Now, these symptoms are much more like hysteria than mudness. The foaming at tho mouth, the fit, the self laceration, are not characteristic of hydrophobic, but they are exactly what often happens in uvsteriil. That disease moreover is known to imitate hydrophobia sometimes so closely as to de ceive the most wary physician. The bark ing and snarling like a cur must have been the effect of imagination either in the pa tient or the observer who records the rase. Such a tiling does not occur in madness from the bite of a dog, though it is popular ly supposed it does, tho error originating probably from the spasmodic i-(Torts w hich the sufferer makes to cure hia throat of saliva. But it is quite conceivable that, a hysteric woman, know ing that she had been bitten, might have fancied that she had the disease, and have produced unintentionally the barking, the fear of water, and the other symptoms w hich she supposed to bechiinie teristic of it. Until n more iii curute history of the case is made public, wc shall heidow, then-fore to believe that this was hydropho bia, or consequently that uriy cure for that horrible affection has yet been discovered. The only safety is in the excision or burn ing of" the bitten part. As death surely follows when the disease has onre declined itse f, it is comforting to know that even if you are bitten the chance of infection is slight. The virus muy not have penetrated the wound, or your organ ism may not be susceptible of it. Dr. Ham ilton estimates the chances of escape us twenty-five to one ; John Hunter as twenty- Lone to one; Sir. Youalt as four to one. The chance of a dog's taking the infection from another is ubout ns one to three. A 1'ors.onal Ski'fcli ot Senator . Hudc. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Cum menial gives the following interesting per sonal sketch of Senator. Wade i ,. "Hia parents were, among the poorest peo ple in Massachusetts, And lie never had bjut seven days schooling; yet ut-the nge of twenty-one he had read u great number of books. Ho rend the liibl through in a sin gle winter by the light of pine torches in his wood chopping cabin. II is grandfather on his mother's side was a minister, ami had a small but well-selected library, and to this he was indebted in his early lotilh for much valuable infornmtit n. Air. Wade is still a hard student, nnd what tie studies is tho roughly mastered before he luys it down, "The habits of tho Senator are peculiar. He rises at daylight summer and winter, and makes up the tires in the house; then he goes to his office, makes the tire, sweeps it out, ousts off the furnituro, and goes to the stable to look after his horses. When be returns be wakes up the family, and then goes to bis study and reads until coiled to breakfast. After breakfast, he takes a walk of two miles, and returns to his study and reads until three o'clock in the uf'ternoon, when the mail come in. He goes to the the postolfire, gets his own mail, and opens and reads it. All letters to be answered at nnco are laid on his table, and the rest tied in a bunch and put into the drawer "requi ring attention." He gets over fifty papers and periodicals,- His wife, who is a greut reader, and a wast intelligent and accom plished lady-, generally; reads one or two hours to him every night.: . i , .'I i - "Mr. Wade is very fund of Nasby, and all his letters are read at night, so the whole family can laugh with him, for he says he don't like to laugh alone. Comical books are ofteu read to him, and amuse him im mensely. His wife, being asked for a Christ mas gilt, bought him 'Old Mother Goose,' and he was so greatly pleased with her taste that, to convince her he appreciated her gift, he learned every line by heart and insisted on repeating it to her almost daily. Of pe riodicals, the Wetmi.iter lieciew, the Atlantic Monthly, and Jlarjter he reads himself, nnd the rest are sent to tho family to be marked and read as the papers. "At 0 o'clock each day Mr. Wade finishes reading his papers and goes to his supper. He has not eaten dinner for tweuty years, contending that two meals a day are enough for any one to eat, and that he always feels better when he only eats twice. The rest of the family cat three time per day. Mr. Wade cannot eat anything cooked iu grease. After supper he walks two mile, and returns to his office, which he locks up at dusk and then joins his family. He retites eaily, sel dom sitting up, even in summer, Inter than ten o'clock. For more than twenty years Mr. Wade has taken his daily walk of four miles, and it is this habit that enables him to walk so much when iu Washington. He a'ways visits the Departments on foot. "The Senator is not a rich man, but has a competence, wjiich ho made by hard toil at his profession, and by saving each year a part of his salary. ' His income o! seven r eight thousand a year is all he wants, as it enables him to live comfortably and enter tain his friends. "Mr. Wade was born at Feeding Hills, Massachusetts, in 1800, and is, therefore, sixty seven years of age, he can still shoot a ritle with almost auy man in tlo State. He frequently goes hunting and fishing, and is very fond of the society of sportsmen. He is a strictly temperate man, and has never been known In his whole life to be under the influence of liquor. He has been a Sen atnr at Washington tor seventeen years, and was four years a State Senator, and several years a State Judge."

Arriving at Hiramsburg, a littlo town six miles east of Curnberliinrl. n.l about twenty five from Cambridge, we were met by a citizen of this place, who kindly offered to go with us to the residence of the old revolutionist. From Hiramsburg wo hud about a mile to go to rench the house. "As wo entered the cabin we were met by a sweet-faced little girl of perhaps thirteen summers, who invited us to come in aud take a seat. We were just beginning to tell the little girl the object of our visit, when a door on tho opposite side of the room open ed, and there before us stood, or rather leaned on crutches, an old man, bent with years, his lung gray hairs flowing down liko snow over his stooping shoulders. We knew at a glance that the venerable man before us was John Urey. Ho came limping up towards us, apparently with great diffi culty, and wo arose, and with uncovered heads, met the old man, who stood still fcr a moment, balancing himself on his crutches, and then with a kindly smile, raised his dim eyes and extended his withered hand to each of us, saying to each ; "How do you do V - nen tne out man was seated, ho was quite out of breath from the severe exertion he had just hud to make in walking from the adjoining room.

We have before heard of the following story, which appeur in the correspondence of the fcitu Francisco Bulletin: "General Shields, Mr. Lincoln, and Mary Toad, the atiianeed of Mr. Lincoln, were all residents of SpriugUeld. Gcnernl Shields had just returced from the Mexicau w ar. His public or private life had not been of tho highest standing, but being of a haughty nature, and looking witb somo degree of disdain upon 'Honest Abe,' be sought on one occasion to force Miss Todd to accept his company, during which something oc curred which gave her great offence. She wrote a severe and sarcastic article, accom panied by a piece of poetry, all of which was a most scathing and cutting rebuke to General Shields, and handed it to Mr. Lin coln to have it published in the Springfield paper.. Mr. Lincoln hesitated a little, but having confidence in his judgment and good sense to manage such an affair, he took it to the editor, enjoined the strictest secrecy, aud it was published. It wns a labored comment upon much of Shield's public as well us privute career, and be writhed like a chained tiger tinder the goad. Although his name whs not mentioned, everything pointed directly to him, and he sought by I .vpu ttiu n u t Hml nut tl.M nurlinr'a natrtM At lust he threaleced the editor with imme diate prosecution if he did not disclose it in him, aud guve him but a short time (or a reply.

Mr. Lincoln sat a moment in deep study, and then, with his characteris tic coolness, said : 'Tell Shields that Abe Lincoln wrote that article.' The etlitor re paired to his office, where he found Shields in waiting, and when he beard the informa tion vowed vengeance upon the 'country pettifogger.' Mr. Lincoln waited the result with a good deal of anxiety, expecting a personal encounter with Shields the first lime they met, but instead be immediately received a challenge to fight a duel. This was unexpected to Mr. Lincoln, but not doubtiug his ability to still bring the matter to a pleasant issue, he proceeded with the a Hair. But I will use his own language in relating it afterwards. Uu said I '1 thought if I should fail, after leading the General along as fur as I could on his road of "hon or," and Shields being a small man and I very tall, witb exceedingly long arms, I thought a sword would serve me as well as anything, and I chose long awords aa the weapons,' "Everything being arranged the parties met, and when the final issue was about to come, Shields being perfectly incorrigible sod Mr. Lincoln seeing there was no other alternative, looked Shields earnestly ia the face and said t " 'Shields, do you want to know who wrote that article V " 'Did you do it V tair Shields.

I From the Cincinnati Times Irons! llrokc. We found a man seated on a rnrh atnno. near the post office, last night, muttering to himself apparently, as there was no one else to mutter to. We lelt constrained to ask him what he was doing there f "Huin't doin' nothin'," was the reply. "Where do you belong J" "Don't b'long nowhere, and nowhere don't b long to me." "Who arc you ?" "I'm Broko." "Well, suppose you are broke, you've got a name, haven't you ? What is it ?" "I tell ye I'm Broke Dead Broke that's my name, and that's my natur'. My father was broko before me.

My mother was a Peasclcy, but she wnnted a husband, end she got Broko that's tny dad and Broke got roc. i've been Broke ever since.' . . . For aife'w moments the unhappy D. Broke buried his face in his hands, and seemed Jost in the most doleful reflections. Then, raising his head, he exclaimed bitterly I "I wish I had been born a colt 1" "Why do you wish you had been born a colt ?" "Because a colt aiu't bmlt until he is two or three years old. I wns Broko the moment I saw the light, and I never got over it. It is hard to be broke so young." "How did your parents como to call vou "Dead Broke I" "Well' ye sec, as soon as I was born some thing seemed to tell me that I had got to be Broke all my life, unless I could get my name changed by net of Legislature, and that, you know, would be an impossibility ?" "How an impossibility t" "Are you such a blockhead as to suppose that a man can get anything through the Legislature when ho is brol-t " . "You arc right. Go on." "When tho conviction forced itself upon my infant brain, confused as it was by recent experiences, that I must be Broko all my life, I felt thut there was nothing left to live for, and lost all consciousness at once, (I have fooml only part of it since.)" "He is dead 1" cried my mother, wringing her hands. "Yes," groaned my father, "dead Prole !" "I revived, alas ! but Dead Broke became my name, and IJiave been dead broke ever since.

If the physicians who make their weekly returns to our Board of Health are consulted, it will be found that deaths sometimes are occasioned in this, as in other cities, by persons sleeping together, one of them being in a morbid . condition. At night there is considerable exhalation from the human body, and ut the same time we absorb a large quantity of tlie vapors of the surrounding air. Two healthy young children sleeping together will give and receive healthy exhalations ; but an old. weak person near a child will, in exchange for health, only return weakness. A sick mother near her daughter, communicates sickly emanations to her; if the mother has a cough of long duration, the daughter will at some time also cough end suffer by it; if the mother has pulmonary consumptiou. it will be ultimately communicated to her child. It is known that the bed of a con sumptive ia a powerful and sure source of contagion, aa well for men as for woman. and the wore so for young persons.
