We are informed that a young man by the name of Howard, of Beekman's precinct near Fredericksburgh, was bit by a mad dog about 7 or 8 weeks ago; the bite was in the wrist, which it is said entirely healed up. About the middle of the week before last, he complained of severe pains in his arm, which grew worse and penetrated to his head and body, and in a day or two was entirely mad barking and snapping as a dog would do:--He was so outrageous, that the family was obliged to fasten him to the floor, and in a few hours he expired in most painful agonies possible, on Monday last week. Several other persons were bit by the same dog, who have not yet discovered any effect from it.
