SINGULAR AFFAIR.-A strange affair recently
Cured at Columbia Lorain county, Ohio. John
Squires and a cousin of his named Wallace Wal
rath-the latter not more than nineteen years old
had been in the habit of sleeping together. One
morning Walrath left the house early, then
turned to his chamber, then came down among the
family, saying that he was afraid he had hurt his
cousin in his sleep, for that he laid in bed covered
with blood An examination disclosed the fact
that Young Squires had been fatally beaten with
the stock of a gun standing in the room and,
though still alive there hope of saving him.
Warath insists that he knew nothing of the deed,
and that, if he did it, he must have been asleep.

MAD Doc EXCITEMENT IN GRAND RAPGDs-A MAN
ATTACKED BY RABID DoG.-We learn from the
Eagle that Grand Rapids, Michigan, is in furor OF
excitement on the dog question. Cattle and hogs
The cattle of Mr.. DeFries, OF Paris, Kent county,
were bitten some time since, while running at large
in a field adjoining the house. son of Mr.. De-
Fries, hearing the noise ran out of the house. ac
companied by his dog. The mad dog-a large and
powerful animal-at once left the cattle and rushed
upon the young man and his dog. Alter biting
the dog, the rapid animal attacked the young man,
springing directly at his throat. Young DeFries,
who is a powerful and "game'' fellow received his
fist, striking straight from the shoulder The blow
took effect in the throat of the nfuriated animal,
sending him flying through the air to distance of
several feet. He sprang to his feet and renewed
the assault, and second and still stronger blow al
most broke his neck. The young instantly
jumped upon the PROSTATE fury, and continued
stamping him until his ribs were broken in, and he
was beyond doubt past the capability OF commit
ting further mischief The circumstance
thought to be a most singular one by the family,
vet they did not suppose that the dog was mad, but
thought he had been goaded to reckless and ungov-
ernable fury by some means, or else that he was
naturally vicious and dangerous. Their cattle and
their dog were noticed, several days after this en-
counter, to become stupid, unsocial and surly.
These symptoms rapidly increased The cattle re-
fused to eat except at intervals were restless, un
easy, feverish and wild. Finally they became en-
tirely uncomfortable. In attempting to handle
them, Mr.. DeFres injured by one of them in a
sudden fit of fury. Assistance was procured, and,
after much difficulty, they were secured to trees
with strong chains. They had, by this time, be-
come perfectly wild, and it was dangerous to ap-
proach them. One of the oxen died on Saturday
The other was shot Yesterday.

The English correspondent of The BoS ton
