HfDRoPHoBIA.-The following communica-

the subject to which it refers, and the partie- |

Importance TO every one, that we feel no hest |

" Messrs. Editors.-With the hope that our |
city authorities through the columns of the |
Star, may know the danger, and may be |
awakened to the duty OF removing it, to which |
our citizens are exposed from hydroplobic |
animals, L take the liberty to write you that |
gentleman in one of the departments was
ooilged to kill fayorite dog yesterday, whilst

Would it not be wise that Washin gton sbould
do as Boston has done viz to order the i'm
mediate destruction of all dogs going at large !
without a muzzle. May a stranger ask the |
favor of you to make an effort upon the under |
standing and responsibilities of our city rulers2
With regard to the latter request, we doubt |
much whether it would be of any use on our |
part 70 make an effort upon the understanding |
and responsibility of cur city rulers. The |
evil is of so glazing nature, that the corpora
ton, as well as everyi one else must be quite |
aware of it, and therefore, need no jogging OF
their memories from US. At all seasons of the |
year, the number of savage dogs roaming
about W ashington is immense, but this nuisanse
is now intolerable, and since the sudden warm
weather, some OF the streets are actually |
dangerous to passers-by at all hours, either
By day or night, from the increased fierceness
Of the dogs that are allowed to be loose, and
which are ready to attack every perso2 and
ming they observe. This is part of the
animals nature during the warm weather, for
which there is no cure; the only remedy is
prevention, and in order that such dreadful
malady as hydrophobia might net occur, We call
upon the city authorities TO take those steps
