exist in our town, allow 10 suggest that there
is one yet that no effort has been made this year
TO remedy. | allude to the abomntbie Dogsl
that annoy the part Of the town in which | re-
side particularly in the night time. Why, sir, !

Judge how they are annoyed; and as the time Of
year has arrived for Mad Dogs to make their

A TOUCHING STORY
A writer in the Boston Times describes visit
to Peni,entiary at Philadelphia, and gives the
following sketch Of an interview between Mr..
Scattorgood, the humane warden Of the prison,
and young man who was about TO enter on his
Imprisonment. Few will read it without deep

we encountered new conner, who had Just
reached The prison when we entered. He had
been sent up for five years, on charge of en-
bezzlement. ~ E..-. .. Fl
He was alfred in the latest style of fashion,
and possessed all the nonchalance and careless
appearance of genteel rowdy. He twirled his
watch chain, looked particularly knowing at a
couple of ladies who happened to be present, and
seemed utterly Indifferent about himself, and the
predicament he was placed in. The warden
read his complaint and addressed him with:

"What is thy age, Charles?'
"Twenty- three"
