ANOTHER DOG MATTER. Yesterday even
ing, about o'clock gentleman while riding
over Ferry Point, was fiercely attacked by a
cur dog, which did his best to bite at the
horses legs, when the rider perceiving guam
tity of foam assuring from the brute's mouth,
and having nothing wherewith to kill him,
spurred his horse into a gallop in order to
prevent the noble animal being bitten by the
Infatuated monster.
We simply intend reporting cases of mad
dogs as they occur, without repeating to the
City Authorities what we have done, at least
one hundred times, more or less, this season,
without effect, viz: the necessity of enforcing
the ordinance for muzzling the Dogs.
We are at once panied and surprised at
this indifference on the part of those whose
care it should be to protect the lives of our
fellow citizens Perhaps the new Councils
will give the matter their attention-noas
Ue1TOns.
1t so many cases of mad dogs have been
observed during the last three months, how
many may we calculate upon when it be-
comes really Si,ius matter7 1t is truth
however that the prevalence of rabies is not
confined to the raging of the Deg-Star,

NEW NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

MESSRS EDITORS.-An article in
lXl the "Norfolk Virginian" headed "Horse
and Cotto" S,0indlers'' does me very great injus-
tics to say the least of it, and therefore, write
this card, in order that the people may have the
facts, so far as am concerned. 1t is untrue that
am, or ever have been, partner of VIM. Wood
ward. as the article represents, and my only
connection with VIM. Woodward at any time,
was that of principal and he the agent, in the
purchase of rags and furs in Northampton Coun-
ty, and that section. All other transactions OF
Mr.. Woodward's, such as buying aod shipping
Cotton, trading in Horses, &C., was his private
and individual business, with which knew moth
ing at all, and with which l had no conneo
ton.
do business in this place, known as the "Junk
and General Commission business" and known
under the firm and style of E. Whitney Co.,
Mr.. Woodward is not and has been mem
Der of my firm.
The article does not directly charge me with
winding, but the intention is such and where
am unknown, such Interpretation will be placed
upon it.
The fac.s then are simply these: advanced
Woodward from time to time, sums Of money to
buy furs and rags, also money on goods, which
he had shipped me on his own account, and which
l was eonsignee, and not as partner, or he as
my agent; and was directed out of the sale Of
this Cotton, to pay his Indebtedness to me, and
then the balance, if any, over to him.
1t is true l am Northern man, but trust an
honest one, doing a proper and Legitimate busi-
ness in the City of Portsmouth.
