Mad Dogs.


Our exchanges from all over the coun-
try ara just now teeming with accounts
of mad dogs, and terrible deaths from
hydrophobia of persons who have been
bitten by them. The fearful malady has
made its appearance much earlier this
season than usual, and it should be the
means of putting people on their guard,
for its ravages will certainly be much
greater during the heat of summer
There is no possible use of, or excuse for
so many miserable, cursed ours rs are
to-day being kept oil over the country,
and especially in the cities and villages.
1t is not economy to keep them, Gor two
thirds of them are not worth the powder
to blow them to-Tophet. Besides, there
is little tax Of 81 which must soon be
forthcoming. Therefore, if you would
save your stamps, and perhaps yourself
or neighbor from terrible death, decapi.
tate the purps. Or if that is not done,
we would suggest some action of the
council in the matter. Authorize the
Health Committee to make way with
every dog found unmuzzled inside the
city limits.

And further, my boy, you nre wasting
