not fail to add other and serious compltca-

On Thursday Of last week, dog, suppos-
ed to be mad, passed from Duxbury to Mr..
Mitchel's farm on Dog River, in Berlin,
where he was killed by Martin c. Davis
This dog wounded several cattle, sheep aud
dogs on the way. Al Mr.. scoydl's in Ber-
I'm, he attacked COW with great ferocity,
but was driven of by Mrs. s., who had arm
ed herself with a pair of tongs. At Mr..
Mtchel's the dog attacked young bull, out
got toss or two into the air and retreated.
Mr.. Davis killed the dog with pitchfork.-

hydrophobia is disease which has rarely
occurred in this part Of the state, The dis
ease has prevailed Of late on the west side
of the Green Mountains, and the circum-
stances Of the case are such as to call for
the greatest watchfulness over the animals
wounded.
Remedy for HydOphobia. Wash the
wound Immediately with tepd vienegar or
water, wipe dry, and drop in two or three
drops of muriaiic acid. This is newspaper

Important Change in the In

From he London Times, .4pri z.
When we stated yesterday that the
changes now introduced in the Ottoman
En- ire by the influence Of the Powers
which have allied themselves for It's defence
amount to a revolution in its social condition
we did not fnresee the very striking confirm
alton of ibis remark which reached us a few
hours later by the telegraph. We are in
formed BY a letter from Constantinople,
dated the 9th of March, that the possessions
Of Stare, and that the refusal the Sheik
u-lslam to consent to this measure was the
the eguse of his deposition If this state
mcnt be correct, II is beyond all COMPARISON
the most important resolution taken by the
Turkish Government since the destruction
Of the Jannissaries, for it is a measure from
which Sultan Mahmound himself recoied.
though he had often contemplated 1t ns one
OF most essential conditions Of the regenera-
ton of the Empire. In TACT, measure so
contrary to the prejudices of the Mussul-
mans and the interests of the Ulemas could
hardly have been attempted with any chance
Of safety to the Sultan or his Ministers I'M
less he had the support of considerable
force IN the immediate neighbour cd of the
capital and even now we shall not be sur
prised 10 learn that a coup de'eiai of this de-
scription has been followed by agitation and
excitement among the Mussuman popula-
ton.
The mosques and religious foundations OF
the Ottoman Empire form important piritual
corporations, exercising an independent, le-
gal. and theocratical power IN the State. -
The Uiemas or masters of the law and the
Koran are the sole possessors of the vast
wealth belonging to these foundations, and
at the same time, as the expouuders { the
faith and fundamental laws of the Islam,
they enjoy an authority to which the highest
powers N the State have been compelled TO
bow. The insecurity Of property under an
arbitrary Government and many other causes
have induced landowners, from generation
