- MIDSUMMER RETREATS, A LIVELY PAY AT LONG BRANC: % “ws TE Weather Again—Graat Qnéstioned on the ** Guba Businese—The President's Movements— Life-Saving Stations—Sheriff O’Brien Standing a Big Treat—Distin- guished Arrivals. LONG BRANCH, July 28, 1870, munvenea and exhilarated by the changed temper- ‘ature, the spacious parlors of the West End Hotel Were last evening more than usually thronged by gay dancers, While rapidly whirling through the misty mazes of one of the modern school of terpsl- chorean trlumphs—for, certainly, 1f genius has tri- umphed in anything it has in the matter of our pre- sent fashionable dances—there suddenly appeared im the room President Grant and his daughter Nel- Me. Of course the former became the cynosure of every eye, one of those pecutiar penalties Often, perhaps, as painful as pleasant, of glowing re- cord of renown and exalted position. A portion of ‘tose in the room, reinforced by passing multitudes crowding in from the porch, circled about the dis- ‘Unguished visitor, giving him for a time hardly room to bow and shake hands with the numerous persons, most of whom were ladies, to whom he was imtroduced. He submitted to this republican mar- tyrdom, nowever, for itcan hardly be considered otherwise, with singularly pleasant grace and urbanity, One pertinacious gentleman rather radely elbowed his way through the circled crowd, and without introduction extended ‘his hand to the President. The latter took the extended hand, “Bow are you, Mr. President?” asked the stranger, bluntly. “Very well, [thank you,” blandly responded the President. * “Enjoying your stay at the Branch, I suppose?” continued the gentieman, still holding the Presi- @env’s hand tightly in his grasp. “Very much so,” the President replied. “Cuba is not free yet?” further observed the stranger. “So the last accounts indicate,” remarked the President in response, feeling it his polite daty to say something, and at the same time making a se- vere effort to release his hand from that of nis inter- Pere but which the latter stiN tenaciously held on “Cuba should be free,’ continued te stranger. “Oertainiy,” said the President. “Our government should help hei .’” ‘Many think so.” ny you remember the dying 1cquest of Rawl- “Certainly.” Ou Will remember 1t 7” Cert Gy have said so all along. I don’t care for the En- ropean war; but I thank God for any shadow of hope for poor, at) Ouba.” and saying this, and thinking, no doubt, he had said something to the Purpose, and exacted a promise looking to some- ing pene apecdiiy done by our government to help the cause of Caba, the stranger released his nold of the President’s hand and withdrew. After awhile the crowds fell back, contenting themselves ‘with looking into the windows. Dancing was re- sumed, in which Miss Nellie. participat with as keen zest as any; and the vresident, except the above slightly disturbing episode, contin} in Pessant chat with the leading lady guests of the jouse and various gentlemen, many of whom ne Anew, and others. to whom he was introduced. He remained about an hour, and then re-entering his drove back to his cottage. THK PRESIDENT’S MOVEMENTS TO-DAY. This morning the President, accompanied by Gene- Fal Schofield, came to the West End Hotel and spent there some time in pleasant and lively talk with ‘various guests of the house. While at the hotel he Went into the barber’s shop to get shaved, and there met Poveitic tian « rather the two hanes and @ conversation. It was astonishing how much ‘was manufactured out of thus interview. “President Grant is getting the war spirit roused 1m him,” said one leman to another. “How 80 ?”’ asked the second gentleman. “He told Sheriff O’Brien in the barber shop a little while ago,” the first gentleman went on to capita, “that he intended to have the Election laws enforced In New York city if he had to place a thirty-six pounder at the head and foot of every street.” “Is that 80 1?” “Sure as guns.” * It 18 hardly necessary to state that no such remark Was made by the President, although this and others like it were being extensively quoted to-day at the ‘West End Hotel. After dinner at home, where Gen- era) Schofield and General Pitcher were his guests, the President, accompanied by these two gentlemen, Mrs. Grant and Miss Nellie took an hour's pleasant drive, were joined by moving vehicles, including Jim Fisk, '8, S1X-in-hand, and several wl platen ATER ear cnt. made their appearance here, giving a and pictaresque liveliness to these afternoon drives, one of the great Jeatures of life at Long Branch. LIFE SAVING STATIONS, It is proce before President Grant eaves to show him and multitudes of others at the same me here who are interested in the subject, the practical workings of the life saving stations scat- tered at intervals along the sea coast in this vicinity. There are twenty-eight of these stations, of which one is located here. Glden tales told of New Jersey pirates, who, by falsely alluring lights, enticed vessels upon the coast, nee to certain destruction upon the rocks off Barnegat, are yet fresh in the public memory. It became neces- sary for Congress todo something to put a stop to this flendish work and oiten wholesale destruction of human life, infinitely worse than the plundering of wrecked vessels. Mr. C. H. Green, in charge of the station here,showed me to-day the appliances for sav- ing life, and explained the exhibition proposed to pe made before the President. The lifepoat now in use ts made of galvanized iron and about twelve feet long by five feet thick through the middle. It is shaped like a torpedo boat and bas an opening in the top which is capable of being shut down and made air and water tight, Jt will hold six persons,and air is ad- mitted through small punctuures at intervals on the top, such puncuures net being I enough, how, ever, to let in the water. On either end an are cham- ber giving it buoyancy and at the same time render- ing the sinking of it impossible. To bring this boat in communication with a wrecked vessel a twenty- four pounder is used, @ spiral ring) attached to the ball and to this ball a small cord. A shipcan be reached at a distance of 250 yards, and then by the Binali cord a cable is drawn in, making it fast to the vessel, and thus with a cable on the shore end the boat with its living occupants is drawn with perfect safety through the roughest sea. It is expected that the exhibition, which will be made in as rough @ sea as Js likely to occur at this season of the yeat, will be very itteresting. It is well known very many lives have been saved since the establishment of these stations. Mr. Green com- plains at the 1l-judged frugality of Congress im not having larger and better buildings erected aod a Tegular force of men attached to each. FEASTING H18 CONSTITUBNOY. Sheriff O’Brien experienced to-day one of the un- avoidable pleasures of holding pubic oMce. A party of Germans, all naturalized, and though not longing to the ‘vote often’? party, each enjoying the prerogatives of the ballot and possessing the power such prerogative carries with it, came down to pay him a visit, she benignly benevolent O’Brien was not content to give them the erdinary hospital- Ides of the Branch people—a wn: that-any hoider vf office or candidate for re-election might do—but his large liberality and enthustastic eagerness to do the handsome thing induced him to take them to tare Bay. They had a good time. He teasted them and lager beered them and wined them, though after their unrestrained indulgences in their favor- ite Teutonic beverage tt was not much wine they could drink, which was 40 much the better for their nerous host. If ‘all the political oifice-holders of Kew York who aro, now sojourning at. the Branch and faring sumptuously op their rich monthly sti- pends withdrawn from the city exchequer would extend the same kindly, considerate welcome to vis- iting squads of their constituency, and the fact’ be- come known that they would «do 80, les of such Bethy might come down every few days, and here am para spruce citizen, wasb'd artisan, And smug apprentlee gulp thetr weekly afr, Much more to their benefit than their present weekly jaunts to the suburbs of New York, and at much less expense to themselves DISTINGUISHED.

They regard Newport, not as a place to be visited; butas @ home in which a large portion of their lives is to be spent, Fast peopie look in upon them and say the city is Qull—that little or nothing in tue line of amusements 1s going on. ‘They admit that many of the wealthiest and most. prominent families in the country are here; but complain that society 18 not more brilliant, and, as they express it, fascinating. Snoddy especially complains, for here shoddy is estimated at its true value, There are more artists, authors and literary meh among the residents of Newport than at Saratoga, Long Branch and Cape May combined.” ‘his fact, and others like At, tell the story, Newport is the summer home of the best class of people from all sections of the country. Some of the hotel proprietors at the watering places, say that on account of the war in Earope tney can- not afford to give a german this season. ‘The number of New Yorkers that visit Cape May this season is remarkably small. It is, in fact, a Philadeiphia resort, almost. Sip ane It is to the latter city what Long Branch is to New York.

TiMPERANCE BEMORALIZATION, 4 Temperance Society Disorganized—Its Members Tarning Rom Crazy—Tribulatioss of a Wife and a Lost Chi The people of Jamaica were for six months blessed by the absence of drunken and riotous men in their streets, which was the consequence of the organiza- tion of a Father Mathew Temperance Society. About @ month ago this society became disorganized, and its members disheartened, since which time matters have been growing continually worse, and now the state of affairs is really deplorable. Most of those in the’ society have become dishearteried at the ill success attending their efforts to keep the or- nization together and have turned to drink so rap- fay that Jamujca is fast reassuming its previous im- moral garb, One sed event tas culminated out of this imbrogiio between the clergy and the society, and that ts the complete dismemberment of a prom- ising family. Charles McLaughlin, one of the mem- bers, took to drink, and while in a frenzy of intoxt- cation beat his wife and would no doubt have killed her but for her timely escape from the house. The poor woman, -aimost. penniless, made her way to Brooklyn to share the porng of some relatives, ‘amar | her family be- hind her,’ One of the children, a litte girl named Anne, eight years of age, frightened at the conduct of her father, fled from the house to seek the protec- tion of her mother and got lost. It is a week ago to- Gay since she disappeared, and although diligent and untiring search for her has been made, yet she has not been found, She was barefooted at the time: Uther cases of lawlessness ha’ rred through the demoralization of, this soc! entire people pf Jamaica are bemoaning ow DEPARTMENT OF DOCKS. The Docks to be Put in Proper Condition With out Delay—Ownors of Piers to Dredge the Blips—The Department After the Ma- nurg and Offal Dealere—Violators of the Dock Laws to be Fined. The Commissioners of the Department of Docks met yesterday afternoon in stated session, with the President, Mr. John T. Agnew, in the chair. After the usual preliminaries had been disposed of a com- munication from the lessees of certain piers tn rela- tion to a purchase of their leases by the department ‘was referred to the Executive Committee, as was also the petition of Andrew Jackson in relation to a permit jor building a platform at the foot of Forty- eighth street, North river. Commissioner Hunt, from the Executive Committee, reported on the com- munication of THE CITIZENS OF THE NINETRENTH WARD, in which the Commissioners were requested to pay immediate and particular attention to the docks and bulkheads along the front of the property belonging to those remarkably © disinterested gentlemen. Tho repart of the committee related briefly the duties of the department, and the neces- sity of at once placing the piers in@ proper condi- tion to accommodate commerce until such time as ‘hey should decide finally upon the general plan for the docks and bulkheads and the kind of material to be used in their construction, and closed the report with @ resolution that it 1s deemed inexpedient to expend the public money in building any new piers or bulkheads along the river front until the final de- cision 1n regard to the system of docks be adopted. The resolution was adopted, and thus the Nineteenth Warders’ application was disposed of. In relation to DREDGING THE SLIP AT PIER 36 NORTH RIVER, asked for in & communication, from Livingston, Fox & Co., the committee reported that the lease to the firm named contained a covenant which obliged the lessees to dreige the sity. The latter stated that the city authorities had dredged at the south side of pier 37, and that in doing this the portion of the slip at the north side of pier 86 had been filled and the lessees were put to great expense thereby. The report closed with a resolution denying the ap- Plication of the lessees to be refanded and recom- mending that the slip be properly dredged at the ex- pense of the department, On the communincation of Superintendent Turner in relation to the unsafe condition of ‘THE STEAMBOAT LANDINGS at piers 24 and 27 East river, the committee re- commended that the secretary notliy the owners of steamboats ianding at the piers mentioned to put their docks in a proper condition, so as to provide for the safety of the passengers, and requesting Su- perintendent Turner to procure and furnish to the department the names of those, boats and of their owners which use the piers mentioned as landing Places. The report was adopted, In relation to the bad and filthy condition of the MANURE AND OFFAL dumping places at the foot of Thirty-seventh, Thirty- eighth, Thirly-niuth and Fortieth streets, North river, complained of by the Board of Health, the com- mittee reported at length, and recommended that the slip between ‘Thirty-seventh and Thirty- eighth streets ve dredged at the expense of the uepartment; that the parties owning piers at the foot of Thirty-ninth and Forty-first streets be notified to have the slips dredged, the expense to be borne jointly by them and by the Department of Docks; That the New York Rendering Company, as lessees of the pier at the foot of Thirty-eighth street, be requested to repair the pler, and that Messrs. William Bradley and J. L. Brown ve requested to have the manure and dirt at the foot of Thirty- seventh street removed immediately. The recom- mendations of the commiltce were placed in the form of a resolution, which was adopted. A communication was received from the Street leaning Association in relation to THE DIRT AT PIBR 31 KAST RIVER. The communication states that it is impossible for the association to comply with the direction of the Board and have the dirt removed by the 31st tnst, They say they pay the city $30,000 per annum for the street manure, and that the city gives them the privbegs, of dumping it at the place mentioned. ‘hat the dirt now at pier 31 ts the ACCUMULATION OF THE SUMMER MONTHS, when there is but small demand for manure, as the farmers aro busy taking in their crops. They are offering it at reduced rates to induce farmers to buy, and that they will have the manure removed as fast as possible, From this it would seem that what the city allows the street cleaners to use as a dumplog place 1s used by them as a public warehouse, 80 to speak, and that they will get rid of the stwi as last ‘as they cau sell it. This seemed to be the views of the Commissioners, and, on motion of Mr. Wood, the communication Was laid on the table. General Superintendent Westerveit reported on the condition of FORTY-SEVENTH STREKT AND FIFTY-NINTH STREET PIERS, on the North river side, which have been almost en- urely destroyed, leaving heaps of rock and ent fill- ing, which at high water are completely submerged, and are therefore EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS to vessels passiny ae down. The Superintend- ent recommended that the piers be immediately re- built. The communication was ordered on file, Commissioner HENRY then offered a preambie and resolutions, submitting A SYSTEM OF FINES for violation of the dock laws. These recommend that the superintendents be directed to request own- ers of goods, wares or merchandise, which are al- lowed tu remain on the docks twenty-four hours, to remove the same within a specified uine, and that in case of neglect or reiusal on the part of the owners to comply with the notice a fine of . dollars per day be enforced for each day the goods remain on the docks after the expiration of the allowed by the department A fine of $250 to be impose on parties encroaching on the buikhead line by sinking piles or other obstructions, and that a fine of fifty dollars per day be imposed for each day the obstructions are permitted to remain afier the order of the Board directing their removal, and a fine of fifty dollars to imps on persons found throwing garbage, vegetable matter or refuse of any kind in the slips. ‘The resolution was adopted, subject to the approval of the President after consideration. A resolution was offered by Commissioner Henry directing that, for the purpose of HAVING THE SLIPS PROPERLY DREDGED, the owners of piers south of Canal street, on the North river side, and south of Grand street, on the East river side, Keep the slips dredged so as to have the water at.a depth of not less than eight feec at the bulkhead in low water. The resolution was adopted. ‘The sights, scenes and scents seen and smelt in the course of COMMISSIONER WOOD'S WARK from Laight street to plier 22 on the North river were pleasantly and graphically deseribed by Mr. Wood. He represents them as abominable.

" being Licked by a Half Rabid Dog while Asleep—Horrible Symptoms. (From St. Louls Republican, July 26.) We have another case of hydrophobia to chron- icle, the victim being a boy about sixteen years of age, who was yesterday removed from the Health Office to the City Hospital in a state fearful to witness. There is something so peculiar about cases of this shocking malady that a full state- ment of the particulars will be interesting, even if it forms n sad tale to read. The boy's name is Adolph Herbestel, and he has for some time been employed as waiter in the Supreme Court hall Satptcant on Chestnnt street, opposite the court house. He has proved himself a steady, indus- trious young man and gained the respect and es- teem of his employers and associates. He lived at 623 Poplar street, where most of the young men employed in the restaurant’ also eeepred and until recently enjoyed excellent health, and was of a robust frame and constitu- tion. One night about four weeks ago, the heat bein; Tory oppressive, the boy moved a portion of his clothes into the yard, where he slept the balance of the night. In the yard there was a dog called Sultan, a large hunting spaniel, belongin| to the proprietor of the house, but the animal was then, #0 faras is known, in a normal condi- tion. It does notfappear that young Herbestel was bitten that night. He made no mention of anything of the sort, nor were any marks of in- jury noticed by any of his companions in the morning. One side of lis face was blackened, but this was attributed to his having rubbed it against the ground while asleen: The subsequent history of the dog was calculated to excite un- easiness; and would have done so, only neither young Herbestel nor his friends had any knowl- edge of his being bitten. The next morning a young man named Charlie Wolff, in pass- ing through the ard noticed something strange about the dog. He approached the animal when it snapped at him, and then, convinced that something was wrong and the animal should be tied up, he caught it by the back of the neck, dragged it some little distance and tied it up, receiving not even a scratch in the pro- cess. It was a fortunate act, for a few days after- wards the brute died under all the symptoms of hydrophobia. Now we come to the awful fate of the boy. There is no doubt that during the night above alluded to, when the boy slept in the yard, the fatal virus was communicated to him by the dog then probably in ahalfrabid condition. There are no marks of a bite upon his person, but it is thought that the dog licked one of his hands, on which there was a small scar from a recent cut, or else his lips and mouth, and so the poison entered his system. It is also stated that the boy had the rash of ‘‘prickly heat’ out on bis arms, with which the saliva of the dog may have come in contact. During more than three weeks after this night the boy appeared to enjoy his usual health and never said anything to indicate that he appre- hended any misfortune or sickness. On Thursday last he complained of feeling unwell, spoke of a pain in the head and full tense feellng acrous the stomach. His symptoms were aggravated next day; on petian @ clear case of hydrophobia was defined. Dr. Reimberger was called in and at the time no one about the premises understood the character of the attack. It was apparent, however, to a medical eye, and the doctor quickly asked if the boy had been bitten byadog. At first the answer was in the negative; but finally the fate of the dog, which had died a few weeks before, was recollected, and also the fact that the boy had passed @ night quite close to where the brnte lay, and this, if anything was wanting, set- tled the character of the case. The doctor used such remedies as seemed proper, and the boy’s father, who lives at Rock Spring, was sent for. On Saturday and Sunday the case developed itself in all its ‘fearful features. The mind of the wretched boy wandered at intervals, but for the most o: the time he knew his friends and his father. His eyes glowed luminous with wild light as if they would start from their sockets. He pened sharp and quick like a dog suffering from eat, and frequent spasms visited him, often pro- duced and always iy rue by the sight of water, of which he had a painful dread. He said he had got a ‘bad sickness,” and was going to die; but he appeared to know nothing of its character. Once when a friend invited him to come to the river to bathe he shaddered fearfully und said, “Oh. if 1 should touch the water I should fall. At times paroxysms of violence seized him, and rendered it dangerous to approach him unlesshe was forcibly restrained. He snarled and snapped like a dog, while froth gathered on his lips, and he bared his teeth ‘like + ananimal. At one time he seized the pillows and other articles in the room and hurled them at his father, driving him from the apartment. In this state of fluctuating spasm and quiet he re- mained all Sunday and was brought to Hthe ealth Office peptardey inthe same condition. He was indeed a pitiable object to Jook upon. His eyes seemed to protrude beyond his brows, while ‘his swollen tongue moved in the quick, panting mo- tion of a dog. He was evidently wearied al to death by the nervous excitement, but the fever and frenzy in hls blood made rest impossible. Nowa human being, rational, if suffering, and again, in another moment, more like a mad dog in face and act, with no speech but a sound like a half strangled bark. . He remained at the Health Office some time and was treated by Dr. Barrett, Health Officer, and was then removed to the City Hospltal. Three jolicemen had to accompany him in the ambu- lance, 80 violent did he occasionally become. His recovery was considered hopeless, for hydropho- bia more completely baffles medical skill than even cholera. Since the above was written we learn that the boy died at the hoxpital yesterday evening. In some of its features this is one of the most curious cases of hydrophobia that has been developed for along time, and it will doubtless attract a good deal of attention. .There is something almost incredible in the statement that a person could be innoculated with the fatal virus and be wholly un- conscious of the fact or that any misfortune had happened him until fully under the power of the deadly malady. ANOTHER CASE, Another shocking case of hydrophobia was also found the dumping board at the foot of Laight street in as bad condition as that complained of at pier 31 Fast river, while at the dumping ground on the bulkhead, between piers 21 and 22, at the back of Washingion Market, he found the dirt, by actual measurement, ten to twelve feet in depth, aod from this A SICKENING EFFLUVIA wafted in through the market to give the meat and foodx eposed for gale a high Mayor. Mr. Wood of- fered a resolution direeting that the Street Cleaning Contractor be notified to remove the manure from. the foot of Laight streetand from the bulkhead be- tween piers 21 and 22 within ten days, The resolution was adopted a3 was. also @ resolution offered by Commisstoner Wood, directing the owner of piers Nos. 22 and 23 to remove at once the piles and beams placed by him outside of the bulkhead line and to have the slip dredged tothe aepth of ten feet at low water, Commissioner Wood found that the owner of the piers named had sunk pites out from the bulkhead and had laid beams ‘on them, but had not floored them over, and that all sorts of vegetable matter and refuse was thrown into the slip. A committee, comprising Captain Snow and Messrs, Spotford and Dow, from THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, was introducea to the Board. The gentlemen en- tered the room looking rather nervous and unde- cided, moved their chairs from where they were pg! sume few inches and then moved. them back again. Mr. Spofford held a single glass up to his right eye and juinted at the furniture, carpet and the plates bearing the Commissioners’ names on the wardrobes, and then let his eyeglass drop. Mr, Dow leaned back in his chair and balanced his hat by the rim with his wrist resting on the handie of iis umbrella. Captatn Snow twirled his hat around, ani after a few “ahems!"’ said THE COMMITTEE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. They were not very well satisfied as to what they were to do, and they wouid like to know what the Commissioners wished them to do, Commissioner Hunt explained how tue commitiee nad been called and stated that the Commissioners wanted light, and as the Chamber of Commerce was composed of PRACTICAL MBRCHANTS AND SHTPOWNERS developed yesterday, The victim is also,a boy, aged seventeen years, who lives with his parents on Cherokee street. His name is Harry Buckley. About eight or nive days ago he was bitten by a dog, which does not seem to have been generally considered mad at the time. Some remedies were used, but unavailingly; for hydrophobia in all its unmistakable symptoms was developed yesterday. Dr. Wessel was called in by the father and ex- ressed a most unfavorable opinion af the case. Fhere was a dread of water, spasms and a frantic tendency to snap and bite. The patientyesterday afternoon was very unmanageable and had to be tied down to the bed. BROOKLYN CITY NEWS. Some workmen employed in making an excava- tion on Fulton street, where the old St. Ann’s bury- ing ground was formerly locat ed, came upon the re- mains of five human beings yesterday. ‘The work of removing the bodies was supposed to have been thoroughly accompitshed some years ago, but these bones were evidently overlooked.
