FEARFUL ATTACK ON A Little
Boy BY FIERCE DoGs.-Yesterday
morning about four o'clock, Willie
Mclean, a son of Captain w. b.
Mclean, while on his way to find his
fathers COW, when near the bayou
road, at the head of First Street,
was attacked by three ferocious dogs,
belonging to some negroes. The dogs
bit him in the face and legs, in fact,
all over his body, inficting about
thirty wounds, and injuring the lad
in most serious manner. The boy
made gallant fight, however, and
succeeded In cutting the throat of one
of the dogs with his pocket knife. A
negro man came to his rescue with a
club, but the dogs attacked the negro,
and he was forced to beat a retreat.
Walter, young son of Captain John
Mclean, seeiog the desperate fight,
ran home and got a revolver, and on
his return to the scene of the conflict
succeeded in killing one of the dogs.
The first shot he fred hit the dog in
the mouth, but the ferocious animal
tried to bite Walter, but with two
more shots he managed to give the
brute his quietus. Willie Mclean
was terribly lacerated by the teeth
of the dogs, and how he escaped be-
ing killed is a wonder. His wounds
were dressed by a physician, and he
is getting along as well as could be
expected.
No person should be allowed to
keep ferocious dog in the city limits,
unless he is chained up, and those
having such should see that they are
not allowed to run at large.

SCHOOL EXHIBITION.-The exhibit
ton of the school conducted under
the auspices of the st. Johns Church,
was held at Masonic Hall last night.
This school is under the immediate
charge of Prof. Debus, as Principal,
who is assisted by Prof.'s Russell =
teacher of English-and Kurschner,
teacher of German and English. The
school is in highly fourishing cOndi
ton, and the examination held during
the past week was highly satisfactory to
the parents and the School Board,a and
creditable to both teachers and
pupils. The exhibition last
night, was largely attended, the
Hall being densely packed, and
very many who desired to attend were
unable to obtain admission. The ex-
ercises were varied, and gener-
ally very excellent, consisting Of
music, declamations. dialogues and
tableaux. The whole affair was, we
are told, arranged by Mrs. Debus,
who certainly manifested great acute
ness and intelligence in the arrange
ment, and must have felt fattered
with the perfect success which at
tended it. The music by the scholars
was especially fine, and the dialogues
and representations were very gen.
generally warmly applauded. The
entertainments closed with sing
ing THE beautiful Star " by the
whole school. which was as well exc
cuted as we ever heard it, and showed
an excellent training of the young
voices. On Monday the school hold
their annual picnic at Jacobs Grove,
north of the city. Omnibusses will
leave the Court House and the school
house at short intervals during the
day to carry persons DESTROYS Of at
tending, and those who prefer can go
by the street cars to within five
squares of the grounds. The object
of the picnic is to raise funds for the
benefit of the school, and it is to be
hoped that they may receive a very
liberal attendance. The picnics of
this congregation have always been
scenes of great enjoyment. Every
body should go.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC.-The
children, officers, and teachers of the
Old School Vine Street Presbyterian
Church Sunday School had delight
full picnic at the Park yesterday. The
weather was favorable, though very
hot, yet the heat was so tempered by
a delightful breeze that the day was
comparatively pleasant. The attend
auce was pretty large, though some
were detained by sickness. The school
was carried out on the street ears at
an early hour, and the children were
turned loose, and until dinner was
announced they enjoyed themselves
as only children can, who, after haV-
ing been for months pent up in the
sweltering city, breathing noxious air,
get upon the cool green grass
in beautiful grove, breathing
the glorious. pure air of heaven,
running, romping, riding Gu the Fly
ing Dutchman, and in divers other
ways they spent the forenoon. About
half-past II o'clock huge baskets,
which had been stuffed full of all
manner of good and wholesome viands
by thoughtful and provident mothers,
teachers and friends, were brought
forth and spread upon tables, when
the children commenced a new game,
in which they seemed to take no less
delight than In the sports upon the
green. Then again they betook them
selves to their sports, and whiled
away the afternoon in their innocent
and healthful exercises. Late in the
evening they returned to the city with
happy hearts full of thankfulness to
the kind teachers and friends who
had afforded them so much pleasure.
Mr.. Rufner, the Superintendent, was
extremely happy in his efforts to add
to the enjoyment Of his little flock,
and was ably seconded in these efforts
by the teachers, parents, and friends
present. The days enjoyment will be
bright spot in the memories Of the
children for many days.
