DEICE), JULY 4.
tt On Friday last. between two and three o'clock,
a du.l was fought near the Water Battery, between
Dr. FOY/ILL, Of WS MAJESTY'S brig Pert A/4.,,
and Mr. C 01414011 GOODILICH COAKLEY, son of Dr.
JOHN COAKLEY, of this town, in which, we are sorry
to state, the latter fell an instantaneous vietim, his
antagonist's ball having piered his heart. The Doc-
tor is very badly .sounded, inrornuch that his life is
considered to be in great danger."

MAD Doos.—ln Kirkoswald parish, so general
is that evil extended, that it has been found fleets-
scary to kill about SO dogs. The Excessive attach-
ment of some individuals in refusing to do common
justice to themselves and their neighbours, by killing
their dogs, when they knew they were bit, has ex-
tended the mischief, and ought to put people on
their guard in othet parts of Ayrshire. An instance
of this strange fatuity appeared in the concs& of a
man and his wife, who allowed their deg to go
about, though he bit a stirk belonging to them,
which became mad before him ; and the wife, while
the disorder was destroying the animal, instead of
killing it. prepared some nostrums, which she. with
her own hard, thrust down the animal's throat. In
two days it died, end then they found it necessary to
tie up the dog. which very coca became furious,
enawed the rope he was tied with, and !same they
got him kided, their own son was scratched in the
lace by the Jog. while attemptins W bite Liner
