UMF Oatefbr Hydroj»kobU cmrlMt Information has recent- ^«NMU light In connection with tht MHrt «f hydrophobia. The German# tllllnoWD, used In farmer days to em- jft*? ft mdloim cesipoced of a specie# •f Mistering beetle, or Spanish fly, m ft NMHiI tgent in hydrophobia; and •ffeft *e Ions ago as 1760 the great Swed­ ish. naturalist, Linnaeus suggested the ^jpploymwnt in such cases of the com- •en blistering beetle. Since then it luu come to the notice of travelers and Win ftfftcienee that in many parts of Northern Africa, as for instance Tunis the natives use two species of beetles, Wjr nearly Allied to the bliatering toetle. as a car* fer hydrophobia. The Medicine thus composed is known un­ der the name ef dernona, and is men­ tioned in several Arabian works on ntdicine. A portion about the weight •fa grain of cern is given to the sufter- •T, It St administered to the person Mtten generally In meat soup, and MHt be taken between the twenty-first •Mid twenty-seventh day after the bite; if taken before or after these dates, It w|ll not effect a cure. The natives seem tfthave great faith in this remedy, and preserve tile dried beetle as a treasure. It might be worth while to try a series •f experiments on the use of the vesi- «pfng beetles in this terrible malady. §GF*Burleigh writes to the Boston jfbroalthat the young element in Dr. aioiTs' church, Brooklyn, in asserting lis right to act. He says: "A half-doz- •n men have ruled the society for years fltiadly;a young element has arisen and latterly has become very powerful. Mainly it Is from the Sunday-school, •ad Is led by the Superintendent. The strength of the parties was measured last week in the election of the Board •f Trustees. Mr. Chittenden took oc­ casion to denounce this opposing cle- went III quite a severe speech. The •aswer to the address was that the boys carried every thing before them. . Flushed with victory, the triumphant party boast that they will reverse the •onion of the church on the Beecher matter.*1 BAY COLT, nphis celebrated Running Horse was foaled in X 1871. and bred by Col.
