Hydrophobia.
The appearance of one or two mad
dogs in our midst,and the absolute cer-
tainty that orreof these bit not less than
a dozen othei dogs in one hour, and the
alarming nature and absolute impossi-
bility of cure, of -this dread malady,
seems to have excited no alarm in the
minds of our people or of the authori-
ties, and no measures are inaugurated,
or means adopted, to remove the,cause
or check the spread of the most terrible
of all maladies known to man. The
most stolid indifference' seems to have
taken possession of our people in ali
matters that pertain to the preservation
of their health or the safety of their
lives. "A dozen or more dogs, known to
an absolute certainty to have been bitten
by a dog which had such marked
symptoms of hydrophobia, as to justify
his being shot, are running at large on
the streets, coming in contact with men
and women, as well as defenceless and
unprotected children.
On Tuesday last a calf, the property
of J. W. Smith, Esq., was seized with
symptoms of hydrophobia. It ran wild-
ly around the lot in which it was kept
against the fence, which it finally broke
down, and ran out on the prairie. It
frothed at the mouth, bleated and ran
Until completely exhausted. It return-
ed to the pen Wednesday night, ex-
hausted and panting, and Thursday
morning had a second paroxyism, from
which it died. Comparison of these
symptoms With the authorities, indicate
that the calf had hydrophobia beyond
question. The dog which inoculated
this calf with the poisonous virus, may,
and ir. all human probability, did the
same for other animals. We may be
startled any day with the cry of pain
and fright of some innocent child, the
idol of the household, which has fallen
a victim to the carelessness and indiffc
ence manifested in this
hope the police cars
are not pem^|^ge on our.
stree^g0^^^BBfatis worth owning,
at home.
.Wflarrow Escape from Drowning.
A reporter of the Democrat was in-
formed last evening that a man, in com-
pany with his wife, whose names we
could not ascertain, in endeavoring- to
crdsS Village Creek in a wagon yester-
day, at the crossing of the road which
goes direct from Fort Worth to Dallas,
about eight miles from the city, were
precipitated into the stream which had
become swollen by the recent heavy
rains, and they only ma iagcd to save
themselves by the most strenuous ef-
forts. The bed of the wagon was car-
ried off, and the contents, consisting of
some purchases which they had made
in town, and a well tilled trunk, the
property of the woman, were lost. The
horses managed to gain the opposite
side with the remainder of the wagon,
safe and sound. Our readers will re-
member that the son of Geo. Shields, of
Dallas, was drowned at this place about
a year ago.
Personal.
We have had the pleasure of making
the acquaintance of Doctor Ansell, one
of the staff ot the Galveston Medical
and Surgical Institute, who. in compa-
ny with Dr. Wolff', the Principal of the
Institute, will open an office in this
city for the treatment of chronic diseas-
es and the performance of surgical ope-
rations. These gentlemen have a large
practice in this State and have had un-
usual success iu the treatment of cases,
of which they have abundant testimo-
nials from prominent men of the State
who have been relieved by their treat-
ment. All kinds of the most difficult
and complicated cases of surgery are
treated by them with skill and success.
We commend them to the afflicted in
m our midst, who have now an oppor-
tunity of obtaining relief. They will
remain but a short time. We are pleas-
ed to find Doctor Ansell a very agreea-
ble and accomplished gentleman.
John Thompson.
This celebrated artist will be in Fort
Worth on the second day of May, and
will present his renowned play, “On
Hand,” and other specialties. We de-
sire to disabuse the minds ot onr peo-
ple of the impression that prevails to a
cert nil extent, that this is “Johnnie
Thompson,” of Dallas. There is a
similarity of names, but none other.
John Thompson, who is “billed” for
the 2nd prox., is a first-class commedi-
an—the modern Proteus of the comedja
the most versatile artist living, appear-
ing in nine different characters in one
play; composed, dramatized and owned
by himself, and played by no one else.
We make this extended notice because
the impression prevails that this an-
nouncement has reference to another
and entirely different individual.
An Ancient Relic.
We were shown, yesterday, a petri-
fied piece of wood, about six or seven
inches in length and nearly an inch in
diameter. It was artistically carved,
by the hands of some ancient, skillful
artist, with various kinds of mysterious
hieroglyphics, plainly to be seen on its
surface. On one end of the piece was
carved a perfect miniature engraving ot
a chariot, drawn by two fine steeds;
the heads of men and women were also
easily traced. The curiosity was found
imbeded a distance of ten or twelve feet
beneath the surface of the ground, on
the banks of the Trinity, by parties who
were digging a well, about five miles
Northwest of town.
---Now that the city has three
additional policemen, perhaps some of
them may be able to discover some of
t he'dance houses that infest our princi-
pal streets, and which have heretofore
remained undiscovered by the authori-
ties. We say this out of charity ; for it
is hard to believe that a man would
swear to execute the ordinances of the
city and thou permit the dance houses
to remain open, contrary to the ordi-
nances, if he knew where they were.
Many of our citizens would rejoice to
see them removed from the public
places which they now occupy, an an-
noyance and an insult to some of the
best citizens of the place.
A Town Clock.
Editor Democrat:—As the court
house nears completion, will it not be
well for the city fathers to consider the
question of “town clock or no town
clock?”
The only argument against it is the
expense, a very cogent one ’tis true, but
not insuperable. In fayor of it much
may be said. It will be an ornament to
the town. It will give uniformity of
time, a great desideratum to all men
who have business with other men.
,, It will slipw its benevolent face to the.
good wife whose mantel boasts no clock,
enabling her to have ready, to the mo-
ment, the dinner of her husband, not
forcing him to eat an over-done and
sodden dinner, or wait the e joking after
his arrival. In cases of sickness in the
houses of the poor, the anxious nurses
will hail it with gladness. By it they
are enabled to. administer medicines and
nourishment according to directions,
and report intelligently to the physician
at his coming.
Pro Bono Pcblico.
Fort Worth, April 2G, 1877.
A Mean Transaction.
A man in Dallas borrowed $40 of
some cow-boys, giving them a note,
payable one day after date. He repre-
sented to them, by a plausible story,
that he was short of funds but had
plenty in Fort Worth. They were in
town last night looking for him, but
only learned that he had been here and
liad jumped them. A madder set of
boys never was seen on our streets, and
had they found him they would have
received their pay with interest.

More Bock Beer.
At four o’clock yesterday evening
this renowned and popular beverage
was placed on tap at the Merchant’s
Exchange, on First street, between
Main and Houston. It will be kept
fresh and pure and as cold as ice can
make it during the season. Parties who
enjoy a c*>ol, refreshing, invigorating
drink, should call and test the Bock
beer at the Merchant’s Exchange.
Pay for Your Paper.
The city circulator of the Democrat
is required to pay for the papers lie de-
livers at the end of each week. Several
of his patrons are in arrears for their
paper, and as cash is required of him,
he must have the cash or discontinue
tiie delivery. This he -would regret to
do, but necessity knows no law.
Another Challenge.
The Secretary of the Fort Worth base
ball club received a. challenge from the
base ball club of Marshall yesterday, to
play them a game in their city' on the
eighth of next month. The Secretary
will, in all probability, be instructed to
accept it.
Mass Meeting To-night.
A general mass meeting of the peonlc
is called to-night at Evans’ Hall at 7}
o’clock, with tiie express view ot taking
some immediate steps to improve the de-
plorable condition of our principle
thoroughfares.
Disgusted Citizens.
Nabbed.
A porter on the train from the East,
which arrived here at five o clock la.-t
evening, was taken from his ear at
Dallas and placed under arrest, on the
charge of embezzling an unknown sum
of money.
Married.
Givens—Ciiurchwell.—Mr. J. N.
Givins was united in,the bonds of mar-
riage, yesterday, fo Miss B. C. Churcli-
\vell. The ceremony was performed by
the. Rev. AV. M. Gough, at the residence
of the bride s father.
The Raffle.
Mr. J. M. Williams was the lucky
man last night, throwing 43, which won
the $125r silyer tea set raffled at the
Trinity saloon.
—The members of the base
ball club are urgently requested to meet
at the Court House to-night at 74
o’clock. The members of the nine
elected to play the Dallas boys ro-mor-
row, will be present on the grounds this
evening at 3 o’clock, by order of the
Captain.
—T. N. Wilson, who has beeii
on the tripod of the Herald since Us
foundation, descended yesterday, with
his usual grace and dignity. We arc
not aware who his successor is, but
whoever lie may be, we welcome him
within the pale of the fraternsty most
cordially.
—G. L. Butman, General Land
Agent in Boston ot the San Antonio
railroad, is in our city, and expresses
himself well pleased with our appear-
ance. Mr. Butman has about one hun-
dred families from Massachusetts,whom
lie expects to locate on the line of road
he represents.
—We have received a commu-
nication from a party in the calaboose
in reference to the condition of that
establishment, and the treatment of
prisoners confined therein. We know
nothing of this matter, but it shall be
investigated and made public. The
calaboose is a place of security and re-
straint, but the prisoners should receive
humane attention and care while in
eontiuement. Of course it cannot be
comfortable or altogether cleanly, from
the very nature and condition of its
occupants.
