The Iowa Scnatorship.

There has been a general expression, by the Republican press of this State, in favor of the re-election of Hon. James Harlin to the U. S. Senate. It seems, in fact, that there is no division of opinion on this question. Sir. Harlan’s talents, integrity* industry and efficiency eminently entitle him to the further honor of the people of lowa. It is the policy of older and more experienced States to retain their ablest men in positions such as Mr. Harlan now holds. The people of lowa may well feel proud of such men as Messrs. Harlan and (primes in the U. S. Senate, and will subserve the public good by keeping them there.— Muscatine Journal. Singular Cause of Death.—A resident of Medford, Mass., named Daniel Lewis, about forty years of age, while playing with a bull-dog, about a month ago, says the Journal, was severely bitten in the hand. He had the wound dressed; but so strongly was the man impressed with the fear of hydrophobia, that he was last week attacked with sudden illness, which resulted fatally. Physicions in attendance upon the unfortunate man state, that in this case there was a decided horror of liquids, but an absence of spasms, and that death was the result of brain or typhoid fever.
