II The Winsted Herald states that the
dogs made foray upon d flock Of sheep be-
longing to Mr.. James Tuttle Of Torringford.
one night last week, killing eighteen OUT
right, and mutilating and mangling seven
more. The dogs were subsequently ascer-
tained to belong 70 Mr.. StabelI Of Winsted,
and very properly killed. Wouldn't il BE-
well for our Legislature to revive the dog
taxation-law that was killed last year
Since writing, we learn that on the same
night Of the above slaughter, 16 sheep be-
longing TO Samuel Hurlbut, and ; Or boz
longing 70 aiilo Burr, were destroyed Ii the
same manner.
