Death of Two Children FROM HYDROPHOBIA.--A little girl and boy named Mary and James O'Conner, aged respectively five and a half and three and a half years, died from hydrophobia a short time since, at the residence of the parents in Wolcott street, near Richard. The case was reported at the police headquarters by officer Brien, of the Forty-third precinct. The children, it was stated, were bitten on the 15th of August, by a dog owned by a woman named Mrs. Serlock, who, in her efforts to rescue the children, was also bitten by the animal. A physician was called in and the usual remedies applied to prevent that terrible malady. The little girl was first taken with the disease and died on the 9th of September. The boy died on the 19th. The woman is not considered in a dangerous condition.
