This siifaular disease is", in ihe minds of most persons, invested with so much-obscurity aiid dread, and 'its prevention' and cure so ilf understood, that we are convinced that we are doing the public service in publishing the only reliable information on the subject We-have ever met wiih. It is taken from Mr. Youati's work on u The DoGf" a hook of excellent au thority hy a celebrated veterinary'' surgeon, whose practice has been among the canine fam ily as much as among horses, and who has had much experience on-the dite ise 'we are-consid ering. Hydrophobia, or Rabies; as Mr: Youatt calls J it, appears to be a Aperies of inflammatory di sease in 'the dog, affecting chiefly the" mouth, throat and stomach. Its primitive origin un known, it now appears to. ajC'frQni; contagion communicated by the bite of a diseased animal, by his licking, or any means by which the froth or spume of the mouth may come, in contact with wounds, scratches, or oiher. places not protected by a sound skin. Its symptoms in the dog. are various.. ,He appears often to be laboring, under, a species of intanity, exceedingly restless, ofi.en (allowing ,wiih his eye the flight of imaginary objects his countenance changed with somoiinies a va cant expression, at other limes one of tenor, .and ihe eyes unusually bright and dazzling. A depraved appetite is. a frequent symptom. . The dog refuses his usual food often with an evident expression of disgust ; and sometimes ;after' seizing, and partly chewing it drops jj, from pal y of the organs of masiificaiiou.. ;In "his last symp'om implici! .confidence may he placed the animal in which i appears is decidedly rabid, lie often devours all sorts of filth. The saliva becomes visci1, glutinous and adhe&ive,. J clings, lo the throat and. corners of, the mouth, and the dbg attempts to dislodge it with ' liis paws: To tliis1 succeeds an Thsaliable thirst. The dbg (hat retains prhver over hia; jawa con tinues 10 lap, while the animal 'whose jaw and tongue are paralysed',' pltiriges liis muzzle into ihe water up to his eyes, to get" water Ihto'rKe dry and inflamed jaws and throat. Hence, in stead of thc disease" being always characte'ffzed' by dr'ead; of wateF in the dogj if is marked by 'a thirst perfectly unquenchable ilibtigh in' case's 01 nyciropnooia in ine uuman sunjeci, mere is often a drea'd'uf water. Mr. 'Youaft states that, in the rabid doth'ere is1 no reluctance t'o'lfquids, or-diffieLiiy in swallowing them, -in one 'case out of fifty.' The froihit.g and foatnihg at the mbUlhj cbni monly imputed to iHe iiiad dog, is also', according to Mr Youatt, ah error. ' This'freqlie'nily takes place in cases of canine epilepsy or nausea, but in rabies exists in a very slight degree. The dog.alTccted with rabies is by, no means -fer.pc.ious ,. This is often; the; case, but in ;niauy -instances t)ie animal suffers '.and ,di.es?.vvijh, pa .tience and in quiet. , .The symptoms, however, are , too varied jo be certainly detected by the inexperienced per son. To all such the best advice is to prevent .their. dngs. as far as possible, from the ritk-:pf con.tagiqn instreet,;fight8 sand quarrels; tp4be tyery .careful of them if they are ij, unless .with a plain and well understood disease, and par ticularly fo ohstain from the practice of allow ing the dog to, lick he hands or, face, by which dirty habits the rabid infection has pft,en.been .conveyed into thesystem. 1 Th;e point o,f greatest importance, howevqr, isjwhat meas,u.estp take in case of, being lit- rten ,by;.a dbg underjjsuspjcio.u.a-circurrjslances.

GpnsequentlyMf the bitten part be removed jm-: mediately, the. poiaontgoeswjih it, and danger is prevented. There are, however two objections to using the knife in thiVproces's. ':Oheis,the pain and extent of the Hvbund the other is, the -danger that the knife itself, while removing the 'bitten- spot, may carry ihe poison to a deeper placOj and leave the fatal innoculation there.- Mr. Youati's practice has been, to cauterize the wound thoroughly with lunar caustic. " Let this; sharpened to a point, be applied carefully and thoroughly to every recess and sinuosity of of ihe wound, where the teeth and saiiva of ihe animal could possibly0 have penetrated. This will form an eschar, har'dj dry and insoluble a compound oTthe animal'fibfe and th'e caustic, in which the virus is wrapped up, and from which ii cannot be separated. Inva short time this dead matter slotighs away and the 'virus is carried of with itl ' Previous to applying the caustic, it will often be Viecessary to enlarge the wound, that every part may be fairly got at, and after the first eschar !has' sloughed 'off, it will be advisable to apply the caustic a second time to destroy any pari tnat may hot" have re ceived the full influence of the first ope'ralion, or that' may possibly have, been innoculated more by ii.: This carefully, and thoughtfully done, jhe pa tient may feel' perfectly-safe. The poison will have been entirely removed, and no danger ;can remain. Mr.'Vouatt himself has been repeat- redly biuen iby rabid dogs, and, other veterinary surgeons alspinhut after pursuing . the course a hovc rucomm'endod ihey have felt, entirely se cure a confidence justified! by the event, as' well'as'by experiments iried on inferior animals.

'We must be "mora intellectual and less sensual more ohhat wHtch dies not aiid less of liat which dies--if we would invigorate and prolong whatever of us is immortal. It is said to be belter to wear out than to rust out. The truth is, after all, very :few in this country can claim the honor of wear ing, out, intellectually. But hundreds are daily dying through mental rust. Why does the man of business languish and die so soon on retiring to enjoy in idleness his gains ? Just because the life-giving power, the mind, ceases to act.
