in the neghborhood Of the Little River Turnpike,
by hounds belonging to persons living near Alex

hounds to run at large, and take no care to feed
them, ought to be required to pay for all the mis-
chief they do; and it would be well if every own
err Of dog were required to put collar round
It's neck, with the owners name on it. These
