HYDRorHoBIC Hlous.-Mr. Middle ton Armstrong, of this county, has lost a number of hogs that manifested all the symptoms of hydrophobia. Several weeks ago a small dog was seen to run through Mr. Armstrong's pasture, snapping and foaming - and evidently mad. In the pasture were a number of hog, and they attacked the dog as he ran through them. A tight ensued in which the dog was severely wounded, and it was in fact nearly dead when a final blow by some one dispatched it. Two weeks after several (if the hogs that had engaged in the combat began to sicken, and in a few days they become so seriously affected and evinced so many symp toms of madness that they were killed. Two weeks later, and about a week ago, two more hogs that had been running with those who had gone mad were also seized with hydrophc - bla. They were kept to themselves a day or so, during which time a num ber of gentlemen, among them Dr. Robertson and Major Woodward, wvent out to see them. One hog was more seriously affected than the other, and wvas unable to get about. It lay foaming, its limbs rigid as in lockjaw, and 1ts jaws snapping fuiriously at anything coining near. The other hog was able to walk, but its motions wvere unsteady, and it had no power of volition, its limbs refusing to take It where it wished to go. At inter vals it was seized Wvith a fit, especially if tou~ched, and would rear straight up, fallinig backward, fonming aind snapping viciously. The hogs were finally shiot, and an examination was made. One had a slight, half-healed gash on its side, apparently made by a tusk, and the supposition is that it was bitten by one of the hogs that first went mad. This is but one of many cases of hydrophobia among animals in reported in this county. Whether it is genuine hydrophobia or some other strange disease is not known. None of the persons who have been bitten by dogs supposed to be mad, have experienced any un pleasant results. It may be that this Is but a new disease attacking animals, and naot the genuine article of hydro phobia. _______ The "Sleventeenth" at Chester. (narOnTED FOR TH E NEWS AND HERALD.) In response to a call from Col. F.W. McMaster, through the newspapers, the survivors of the Seventeenth Regi ment,; S. . V., assembled at Chester on the 18th~ Inst. After fourteen years of separation, the reunion was especial ly enjoyable, except that in very many instances names had to be inquired for. Le'ain, lank Conioderate soldiers had grown Into corpulent beings of thelal dermanie style, beardless boys had become middle-aged men. After two or three hours spent in hand-shaking and general conversation, asking after families, speaking of dead comrades apgthes liker the Regiment was (ondiin the .grofo near the :Baptist church by ex-AdjutantS. R. Fant, and marchehd to~ theecourb-house. Here the Agricultural Society was in session at the0 timne, but they kindly adjourned and gave the old veterans the use of the hall for their tneeting. 'Assembled in the coithouse, the meeting was addrebsed 'by Col. McMaster, who gave a narration of the movements of thme cormaun from its orghhistion at Cpantmkip in Novpember, 1861, to the surrender at Appomattox, in April, '65. ; 110 also paid a glowing tribute to the memory of its first Colonel, ex 4overnor J.

Ex-lvernor Sprague on the 1lntiipage at a Watering Place-Sehator Conkling Or dered Out of the House and Shot At Differetit Veralon of the Story. t(yOctal Dipaitch to the Post.] NAInAUAks rr PiLin, August 10. The summer residents ofthis fashlon able watering piace are in a quiver of excitement over the alleged listic en counter bet.ween Senator Conkling and Governor Sprague. I-low much truth there is in the report It Is very difficult to ascertain, for every one questioned professes entire ignorance, or absolute ly refuses to talk. One story is as fol lows: Governor Sprague and family occtpied an elegant sumnmer mansioni here this sunner, as in lhast years, and are enjoying the cool breezes and love ly view which the residence affords. It Is stated, Quat for a few days past, t:o Goverior had been absent on busi ness, and upon his return lie found Senator Conkling a guest at his house, having been there, so it is understood, quite a number of days, and, of course, without his knowledge or consent. Report has it that the Governor waxed very angry and ordered the Se-antor out, but that Roscoe refused to go. Words came thick and fist, and it is alleged the Goveraor told Conliding he had seen all of him lie cared to in Washington, and would have nothing more to do with him, and again order him out of the house. Conkling not complying, lie ran up stairs, so it is said, for a revolver, and when lie re turned the Senator was conspicuous by his absence. It appears that Gov ernor Sprague has a very beitutliti and ottractive wife, but that they do not, live happily togelher is io secret. It in fact, is said that they are so es Lranged that they seldom speak to each other. Last winter Mrs. SprIwue was in Washington, at Edgewood, Fler fith er's old miansion in the suburbs of the city her husband beiig at Providence. In the meanwhile, she had a reserved seat in the Senate chamber, amid vas always there when C'onklingr had a speech to deliver, and she almost inl variably proceeded to her residence iI the Senator's private carriage. It is well kinowni in society circles of the capital that Conkling, while ostensibly makiing his home at Wornmley's, passet a large portion of his time, both day and night, at Mrs. Sprague's house. This, it is believed here, is time cause of time trouble in the Spragne family. Dame rumor has it that on Friday aM tecnoonl imore trouble oc curred be -weenm Sprarue and Conkling. The scene was Bllington's cafe, on the pier, and the storv of the aflair is is follows: Conkling was in the cafe eat ing Little Neck clams when Sprague caie down the pier and saw hin. It is said that lie became very angry and rushed at him exclaiming: "Let me get at th.lamned scoundrel I" Conk ing bristled lip and was ready to meet his assailant, and there would undoubi edly have been a little bloodshed If by standers and friends had niot interfer ed. Reports were circulated that a pistol was drawn, but they can not be traced to any authentic source. Anoth er side of the story is given, by which the F~renchi professor of the Governor's children is brouwht into unenviable enooriey It is alleged that the Gov rnrsuspected thme professor of undue familiarity with his wife, and that lie so toldl him, aind that the result was a storm, and the Frenchman's dismissal. The above facts seem to be all that can be gathered at present. Governor Sprague was oni the train from Narra gansett Pier for Providence this eve ning, and a reporter interviewed hin. The Governor positively refused to give any of the facts In the case, and said that it was p~urely a family matter, and the public coul dhave mo possible inter est in the ailair. Another Aecount.. '-Ex-Senator Sprague attacked a German teacher o1 his children with a pistol, but Senator Oonkling interpos ed amnd prevented murder," is substan tially the story sent by an Associar~e Press telegram firom Providence to the Sunday pgapers, but the most general exclaimatioii of all well posted people of the city of Washington on readlig it was "too thin." "Conkhing and Sprague were not brought together on account of so inconsiderable a person as a German teacher," said a Senator to one of the Post representatives yes terday. "Thierelhas been plenty of material for an able-bodied scanmdal In that quar ter," said another wvell posted gentle nmn, "and the result of it has been ani attempt on the part of ex-Senator Sprague to revenge~ himself. It was the nioble fornm of Lord Rtoscoe himself that Sprguanwas seeking to make a It wilcertainly unt suryrise many intelligent persons, who spent the past witer in this city, to learni that a much-talked of afrair has cnlminated in attempted violence, and possible dis grace to all the parties concerned. The initimnate relations existing be tween Senator Comnkling and the wife of ex-Senator ahid ex-Gbvernor Sprague have been talked over ini un dertones in Washington society and political circle% for upwards of three years. It has been hinted at darkly in newspaper correspondence quite fre quently, butifeellngs of regard or pity for "the woman i the case"'has Induc ed the press generally to suppress, In stead of parading, accessible informa tion. Last spring, when Senator Conkling so energetically advocated the 1)i11 to relieve Mrs.. Sprague's es tate from taxation, everybody was sot to talking. During the winter and spring both par'ties seemed to grow more an4 more regardless of public opinion. Mrs. Spr.ague boldiy dispilayed her partiali ty frthe dsinguished Senator, and her coniduct at the Capitol became a subject of comment even among grave and reverend.Snator's. She was often to be seen in the Monate gallery, and generally occuied 'a fron~t seat. It was rare that slie failed to be en hand when Conklinug was advertised for a speech,,and was often on suoh ocea sions demonstrative in her expressibns of approval.. During'the closing da y and nights of the extra Msio Mrs. Sprague was a regular afiendst agon ' The nightrof the cof~nti en 14retbntheda har dean intrtb the latter to the most careless speota tot.. She occupied ier usual seat i tho gallery durnug all the weary hours o' tat session. When Mr. Lamar gave Coukling the lip and the lattet advanced to reply, she arose in hei seat, and leaned over the balcony, wid a blanched face and intense interest She suddonly dropped in her seat, and it was whispered that ahe had fainted but 1this was not true. Her alarm wai apparent to everybody, however, anc the moment Coikling ceased speaking she sciat Griffith to him with a message Mr. Conkling found time to seid wort back to her by the same messenger which seemed to reassure her. Al this occurred in' full view of man3 scrutinizing eyes, and from that nigh1 the relations between the twain be caine a common topic of conversatioi on the floor of the Senate. THE rzLLo0W.a VER.
