MISCELLANEA. 
While the fit was on, a boy accidentally passed through the field, 
and had a most miraculous escape. He was attacked by the in- 
furiated animal, and he may attribute his most fortunate escape to 
his umbrella, which the horse seized with great violence, tossed it 
into the air, and then bounded off, leaving the poor boy an oppor- 
tunity of escaping, of which he speedily availed himself. The fit 
was on him several hours, during which time he had lacerated 
himself in a shocking manner. At length he became exhausted, 
and dropped dead in the field. The other horses have since been 
destroyed. 
Another case of hydrophobia has taken place on Mr. Hallett’s 
farm at Cuckfield. A short time since, one of Mr. Hallett’s horses 
went raging mad from the bite of a dog ; and on one day last week 
a cow three-years old, in full milk, exhibited symptoms of uneasi- 
ness as Mr. Hallett was driving her home along with others to be 
milked. She kicked out frequently, and struck her head against 
the ground; and when he got her home he shut her up in the 
stable. The poor animal was shortly afterwards attacked with a 
raging fit, dashing herself against the sides of the buildings, tear- 
ing down every thing within her reach, lacerating herself terribly, 
and occasionally bellowing in a frightful manner. The fit con- 
tinued throughout the night, and in the morning the cow became 
exceedingly exhausted. Her sufferings were terminated by her 
being shot. — Times. 
Dog killed by Bees. 
A DOG, belonging to Mr. Thompson, Back Sandholes, Paisley, 
which had been chained in the garden for the purpose of watching 
it and some bee-hives, had snapped at a few of the bees that were 
humming about him and killed some of them. As is the usual 
practice with these busy insects, the whole swarm turned out to 
revenge the death of their felloes. The dog was accordingly at- 
tacked by the humming tribe in hundreds, and so unmercifully 
punished for his temerity, that he died in the course of the after- 
noon. On examining his body after death, it was found that sixty- 
nine of his tormentors had fixed their stings in one of his ears. —
