There were tsowe are appliances at the Asylum for li-e in cae of emergency, but as is usually the ea-e, when needed they were out of order and utterly ineffective. A kooh as the d inger became imminent, the Superintendent : ordered the release of all the Inmates of the Institution, some 000 In number. The scene wan one Of great excitement. Some at least were unable or unwilling to leave their rooms and perished in thr Haines; many wandered aimlely away or look advantage of the opportunity to make their escape; those who remained were huddled together and afforded such protection from the wintry night as eould he obtained in the various out-buildings upon the ground.

A late Providence (K. f.l special to tho Xew V'ork Suh shjs: Last Monday a Uttlo eon of James Molyueaux, of thk city, was taken down with iiymptoms or hydrophobia. On Tuesday the disease waa clearly deflnel. The chlW is nlueyeers old, and had been bitten, us nearly as his parents could learn, some three weeks before by a cur on the street. All of thu more violent symptoms of hydrophotdasct In. Ilk convulsions produced the choking noise that issoHietlmesllkeuedtothcsnapping of a dog. and thero was tho attendant foaming 1 at tho mouth. While his father and mother were tending him he bit them both, and it ' being fmpoesihlc to care for him at home he t wm sent to the Hhode Island Hospital. Lat evening Mrs. Molyneaux, tho mother. without tbcslUhtest premonition excepting a feeling of lassitude, was suddenly convulsed. She was sitting at the tlmo with somo friend! at her residence on Ship street. The spasms became more violent; frothing at the mouth and other symptoms that had been noticed In the boy were oltserved. It was lmpo4lb4e for the friends to control her. They say she snapped at them whenever ther approach.!, ami that this action caused them to remember that she had been bitten by the little ly Ilany. Mr. Molyneaux was away, and the police wore therefore notiicd. An officer cautiously entered tho room and approached the ld on which Mrs. Molyneaux was lying. She seemed to have gone there in a moment of temporary relief, but the moment she saw the olncer she sprang at him. The officer for a few mlHtttee had a terribln struggle. Ho could have mastered the woman easily, but he feared that In the struggle that would be necessary use might bite him. Ho seized the bedclothes and wound them in a great bunch around his arms, and thus protected himself. Ho nko shouted for help, and shortly three offlcers arrived, Mrs. Molyneaux's house being but a short distance from the station. Thu officer then, using the bedclothes to protect himself, forced Mrs. Molyneaux as gently as possible back to tho bed, and threw the blankets quickly over her face. In a second the other officers with the police surgeon, who had arrived with an ambulance, had secured Mrs. Molyneaux.aud she was taken to tho hospital. Bcrgeaut Itimkln, of the Kllce, says he never saw a more terrible sight than was this woman's condition when they were binding her. He describe her utterances as almost perfect Imitnlionsof tho growling of a dog, and says she would set her teeth and snap as dogs do. The mot painful part or It all wan that Mrs. Molyneaux scenK.il fully conscious, and her mental suf ferlngs wero greater thati tho physical. Mr. MnlynoHtix, tho husband, who was also bitten by his son, was at hk place of bu. ness, being employed in some capacity at night In tho steam-mills. Ho did not know thk morning of his wife's condition, mid tho offlcMor tho mill were anxious to keep the fact trum him, Somo years ago. when thero wai what might almost l termed an epidemic or hydrophobia In tho ( onnectfeiit Valley, a man In tho but paroxysms Mt hk attendant Tho physlelans watched the attendant tor somo month, Intending to mnko a raraful study of the disease, tmt tho attt'inlant was never the worse for tho bite.

A XefcntoU Swotr Strm. Wk pitched our tnU carelessly, to. tmulinic to Uko an early start nexl morninr. lUtt.alaa, for our exneela. turns! During the night r strong wind set in frcm thn northwest, ami about four a m. it began to snow, None ( us could Judge well of wuather imliet. tiona in braska, and our guide did not suspect anvlhing serious, for the 'oldest inhabitant" could not recoiled a blizxanl in October, and it was now only tho 1.0th of the month. The guide thought, ami tha drivers believed', that the storm would eeasa at twelve m., and we, of course, trusted to their juiK ment. Hut, instead, tho storm grew liereer, tho snow fell more rapidly, and the northwest pale hu'roused iu furv. lleforo night m mneh snow had fallen that if it had lain kh it fell it would barn

been at least one foot deep, but now it had been piled into drilta so that our 1 jaor mules stood with their feet nearlv j as high at tho wagon topj, and the , stove and furniture m our eook's tent were completely hidden from view. Tho night set in upon us srloomv and awful. We had two light canvas tents, , in each of which slept four men, with J just ulnukcts enough to keep them comfoi tnble in ordinary weather. Hut now wo must provide for Ljio guide, two drivers and a porter, who had usually slept in the wagona, and m thev were but simply provided with clothing, wo must share our stock with them. So into the larger tent we took them. There was but little sleep iu the tent that night, for the cold was intense, ami the wind was so terrible in its effects that wo feared every moment tho larger tent would fall, though we had strengthened it by poles and cords in everv eoneeivable way. With the morning light it seemed a if all tho spirits of the air where let loose, and all day long the storm roared with ever-increasing furv. The snow had to beaten in that, when wo awoke we found ourselves buried beneath it, and now wo wcrd obliged to gather all our bedding into the middle of tho tent to keep it from being wet through. No man could long endure the storm outside, ami we stood huddied together from morning till night, stamping our feet to keep from suturing, Even then we could not keep comfortable. For hours together we stood with our backs braced .against the tent to keep it from giving way under the great weight of the snow and the terriHc force of the gale. I know of no language which can Ihi used to conrey to any "person inexperienced in tich a time any adequate conception of the fury of the storm. liuring the second day we succeeded in digging our little stove out of the snow dritt, and setting it up at the entrance to our tent" wo managed to keep a little lire through the rest of the day ami night. Hut our store of wood was very small, and there was no more to be had within we knew not how many miles. The other tent's company had no stove ami no lire. During the second night of the stonn it was im;k)sible that atl should sleep nt once, even if they could sleep despite the cold, for what with the &tovu on one side and all our provisions, brought in from the wagons, on the other, there was not room for all to lio down. Hesides it was necessary to keep the lire going, lest we might alljwrish together. So we stood bending over the fct-ms all night, two at a time, while the othen tried to sleep. It was an awful night. To add to our anxiety the guide and drivers declared that the horses and mules were likely to perish. Ther were a pitiful sight, indeed. Two of them had no blankets, and the others were little better off.
