The only reply made to this was, “I ;
should have thought it would have come
hard upon your suspenders.”
“Powerful hard!”
Reduction of Fare.—The New York
and Erie Railroad Company have reduced
their fare from New York to Buffalo, from
$8 to 85; from New York to Suspension
Bridge to $5; from New York to Niagara
Falls to $5; from New York to Dunkirk
to $5,90. The reduction before made
was only on fares from Buffalo, Suspension
Bridge and Niagara Falls east. At these
prices one can travel cheaper than he can
stay at home.
Death in Jail from Hydrophobia.—
On Thursday last Justice Read summoned
a jury to hold an inquest on the body of a
man named John Jenkin, who had been
confined in jail, being charged with horse
stealing, and died on that day with all the
usual symptoms of hydrophobia. Deceas
ed, in May last, in Dodgeville was bitten
by a mad dog upon the hand. The wound
was dressed by a physician after being
burned with caustic. Subsequently the
deceased was arrested in Dodgeville, ex
amined and commit ted to jail to await tri
al for horse-stealing. Up to the 19th inst.,
he had not exhibited any symptoms of the
fatal disease, but on the evening of that
day became wild. At first the Jailor and
even the physicians who were called in,
did not believe that the man was going
mad, but thought he was endeavoring to
deceive them in the hope of being set at
liberty. His great desire at all times from
the commencement of the disease to h : s
death was that he might go out into the
air. and when taken into the hall of the
Court House he would instantly be quiet.
