A MAD SHEEP.—AhOIIt two months ago a little
terrier dog, at Cluny Castle, having been discovered to be in
a rabid state, it was found necessary to kill him; but this
was not effected before; he had done considerable damage,
though, we are glad to learn, to none of the human species.
It appears he had gone into a park in which about forty
wethers were being fed upon turnips, killed one, and bit
ether six, five of which !were so severely injured, that they
were immediately destroyed. As the sixth had only re-
ceived a slight scratch on one of the hinder legs, it was
allowed to take its chance. In a very short time the wound
was completely healed up, and, to all appearance, the
animal was none the worse for it. A few days ago, how-
ever, the shepherd, on going into the park with some hay
for his flock, was surprised to observe the wether referred
to chasing the others most furiously, leaping on such as
he could overtake, and exhibiting all the symptoms of
rabidness. In the words of our informant, "he acted the
dog as well as could possibly be done by any other animal
not of the canine race." This the poor animal continued to
do for about two hours after it was first observed, and at last
lay down from sheer exhaustion, foaming at the mouth, and
even imitating the barking of a dog. It was then destroyed.--
