BITTEN BY DoG.-We are panied to re-
cord the fact that our esteemed fellow citizen,
Mr. George Jewett, is lying quite sick at his
residence on Pleasant street, the results of
being bitten by dog on Friday last. The cir
cumstances are at follows: AS he was exam
ming some provisions in the store of Mr..
Mullen on Fore street, dog belonging to Mr..
Mullen showed signs of dissatisfaction at his
presence, and Mr. Jewett called Mr.. MulIen's
attention to the fact. Mr.. Mullen remarked
that the dog never bit, but moment afterward
the dog seized Mr.. Jewett by the calf of the
leg, iofcting two wounds, one about two or
three inches long. Mr.. Jewett Immediately
drove to DR.. Rotinsop's, who dressed tine
wounds, but Mr.. Jewett being quite advanced
in years, and naturally timid in regard to dogs,
received such severe shock to the nervous
system that an attack Of Neuralgia was induc-
ed, confioing him to his bed. We are glad to
hear that he was better last night and that the
Doctor pronounced his wounds doing WELL
Mr.. Mullen We understand did all that could
be done under the circumstances, offering to
kill the dog, but Mr.. Jewett says he does not
desire that, but does wish the dog muzzled SO
hat nobodyelse shall be victimized

Edward W. Loveitt, acting Sd Lieut., was pro-
NOTED to I'd Lieut.; Acting 4th Lieut.. R. 7.
Wescott was elected acting Sd Lieut.. and Or
derby Sergeant w. G. Young, acting 4th Lieut..
The new officers made appropriate little speech
es, after which the company paraded with
the new Continental Band, to serenade Lieut.
