A Dallas, Tex., letter say 3 : "A tragic death has just occurred in our neighbouring County of Hill worth relating* and worthy of Virginius or any other Koiiian father. One year ago George Arnold came to Dallas j on private business, and while walking the streets was bitten by a worthless cur which waa frothing at the mouth, and showing other symptoms of hydrophobia. Mr Arnold became alarmed atu^ very much; excited when convinced in his own mind the dog was mad. He werij to a physician, and had the wound severely cauterised. Then, going home, he was still very uneasy, and dreaded hydrophobia bo much that he hunted up a madstone and had it applied for several weeks, off and on. Ho took' every otherprecaution which was suggested, resting all the time under a mortal dread that the virus had gone into his system, and would sooner or later kill him. He had a wife and several small children living on a rather isolated farm, and the* thought that he might; suddenly lose his reason and harm his little babes horrified him. Tbe other day he began: to experience strange feelings, andatonce| concluded his time had come.. He then procured a twelve-foot trace chain and strong lock and went to the woods. •■ < After writing his wife a calm letteV, in which he ! told her what was about to happen, giving directions as to his wisbeß after death, and pouring out a volume of love for her and her children, he ran the chain round a tree, drew it through the large ring at the c ad, and then wound the other end around lus ankle, so tight that it would not slip the foot, locked it with the lock, and threw the key far beyond his reach. The body was found two days after, still chained to the tree. There was all the evidence necessary to show the Jior. riblo death from hydrophobia. The ground was torn up to the full length of the chain, the nails of the fingers wrenched oft all his front teeth out in scratching and biting the tree, and every thread of cloth ing off his body. ,. ... i " The body was dreadfully lacerated with these, the only weapon the madman couia use.
