356 LIST OF STUDENTS. 
Another mare, quite white, and in my mind infinitely more 
beautiful, partakes with the mare of the Messiah of the respect 
and care of her Ladyship. No one had ever mounted it either. 
Lady Hester did not tell me ; but she gave me to understand that, 
although the destiny of this latter was less holy, she had a myste- 
rious and important one assigned her also ; and I fancy that Lady 
H. Stanhope reserves the white one for herself, to mount on the 
day on which she makes her entry by the side of the Messiah 
into reconquered Jerusalem. 
Rabies in Sheep. 
Mr. Bayley, of Norton, near Hereford, has lost thirty-six 
lambing-ewes during the past week, from rabies, the sheep having 
been bitten by a rabid dog belonging to a neighbour. We have 
also been informed, that other sheep in the vicinity have die-d 
from the same calamitous cause. The sheep, when labouring un- 
der the disease, ran against and over and upon each other, and 
butted at those who approached them : they did not, however, 
attempt to bite ; ultimately they fell head foremost, and died. The 
lambs of the flock, thus deprived of their natural sustenance, have 
been taken to be reared by Mr. Bayley’s neighbours. 
It has been erroneously stated, that Mr. Hickman, veterinary 
surgeon of this town, had operated, without suecess, upon the 
sheep that had been bitten ; but the fact is, that Mr. H., satisfied 
that no good could arise from his so doing (a fortnight having 
elapsed from the time of their being bitten), merely operated upon 
two of them as an experiment, and at the request of Mr. Bayley ; 
and of these two, from which the wounded parts were excised, and 
the cautery applied, one has since died. There were forty-six of 
Mr. Bayley’s sheep bitten, and thirty-six are now dead.
