tion of the authorities to the large number of
dogs that are constantly prowling about the
streets of this Wood, which are a great nuisance
to the inhabitants, and effect great mist:Mid in
the gardens of the industrious poor; and this
being the case, together with the fact that hydro-
phobia and death have frequently followed the
bites of stray dogs, he suggests that stringent
regulations should be made to rid the island of such

THIt ADVISTURII OF run Two SOLDIZLIS. —lt is
gratifying to learn that the two men, Hall and
Smith, of the 02nd regiment, who drifted away
from the Chesil Basch is • boat on Thursday week,
have been rescued. They appeared before the
Glauceetor magistrates last Friday, and told the
following story 1—" On Thursday week, while
taking a stroll together on the beach, the cap of one
of them was blown off into the Pea. In trying to
recover it, he fell into the water, and his companion
took a boat and rescued him. Bat then another
difficulty arose. They had only one oar, and all
their efforts to regain the beach were futile; and

the succeeding night, they were drifting about the
open sea without a marvel of food or a drop of

Gloucester, descried their red jackets and brass

them. They were in such a condition that Pere.

night. The kind-hearted captain, with all the
ready generosity which ever marks a sailor, treated
them to the best of his provisions, and under his
care they revived. They reached Gloucester in his
cotter on Thursday. No specific charge was made
against them. The facts were proved, and they
were ordered to be detained in custody until their
commanding officer at Gosport, bad been communi-
cated with. Their sunburnt faces and general
appearance testified fully to the truth of their story."
