Hydrophobia.
Al out 10 or 12 days bacc, as lr. Ed<e. Hales, of London-wall, waa retarning to town from Epsorn, he stopped at a pablic-house to get a draught of ale; and whilst in the house, hd hcard a shouting I on the rodx,which made him hasten to the door, lets the horse, which was rather skittisb, should run ofF with'the gig. When Ar. Hales, however, came out, he discovered that the shouts proceeded from a number of persons chasing a large dog that had bit ten two labourers in an adjoiniag farm-yard; by this time the animal was cl'ose at hand, and the horse, terrilied by the increasing noises. became com- pletely unmanageable, and darted into the middle of the road just as the dog came by, which, snapping at every thing likely to impede its course seized Mr. iales by *he leit leg, and no.with- standing he wore boots, inflicted a ve-y severe and pain- fut wound. On recovering from his fright, he washed the part with spirits, and applying a bandage, returned home, and thought notking 4more about it tbr four or five dAys, when the leg began to show alarming symptoms of irritation, and swelled to a great degree. Surgical aid was then caUed in, all the flesh near the wound was cut away, and hopes were entertained thtt the poison had not gommuuicated to the system. Unfortunately this supposition was not well founded: on the following morning he becane insensible to every attention; talked incoherently, and evincing the grtatest I dislike of all li dtids, particulsrly water ; and on Saturdav death ut aperiod tothesuffarnsof this unfortunaLte VoUng man. Mr. Hales was formnerly a clerk in the Navy-Pay-Otface. This is the fourth instance where death has followed the bite of dogs in the vi- cinity of London all withiin the space of one month. The Magi- strate: of Union-hall have issued a printed notice or caution to per- sons against suffering dogs to go abroatl unmuzzled during this dangerous season. On Monday last, a fine young woman, about twenty years of age, dtied in this town of this frightful malady. The physifcans who attended her found some difficulty in tracing the fact of her being bitten by a dog : at least the time when she was bitten could not be iatinfactorily discovered. Such a horror have the lower classes of this disease, that the relations of the deceased, when they fbund that the medical men believed hertobe sufferisgunderhydroplsobia, were desirous rather to throw difficulties in the way of an inquiry into its orgin, that, if possible, it migit be believed that this was not her disease. The symptoms, however, were quite convincing. The poor girl wag convulsed by the least breatli of airreaching her, or by tte attemnpt to swallow any liquid; and she died from the violence of these convulsions. Sie was .ensible almost up to the mement of her death. The body, on being opened, showed every sympton of sound health. A boy a so diedl, Eome time lst month, in this town, from the same disease, and the symptoms, on a comparison by the phy- sicians whohad seen him, and by those who had attended the young wonman, perfectly coreseonded.-Livcrpool paper.
