Destruction of n Furious Dog

Considerable CONSERVATION and alarm
were created yesterday morning in the
neighborhood of the corner of Summer and
Line streets by the wild and ferocious
pranks of a supposed mad dog Of the
Scotch terrier kind. For some time he
held undisputed sway in that particular
locality, having chased number Of school
children into houses, torn of lady's shawl,
and made ugly rents in q gentlemaR's pant
aloons, but in no case, we believe, infiicting
any personal injury. The vicious animal
was finally rendered incapable of further
unfriendly demonstrations by some well di-
rected shots from the pistols Of policemen
whose attention had been directed to the IT.
regularity of the mad dogs conduct. While
alive old Tray was certainly better than a
dead lion, but now, in merit at least, be and
deceased lions are about even.

The entertainment at Masonic Hall last
evening attracted but a small audience.
Less than one-haf Of the seats were Occu-
pied, aud the few who did attend were not
the usual theatre-goer of the city. Owing
to the unsuitability of Masonic Hall for
such an entertainment, the play dragged
distressingly. There was a lack OF space
and the stage machinery was inadequate
for the proper presentation of the drama.
All these unfavOrable circumstances, to-
gether with the unpleasant state OF the
weather, exercised a depressing influence
on the company. Even the sword combat
failed to rouse enthusiasm, and the curtain
fell on a dissatisfied audience. No doubt
the defects of last night will be remedied
this evening and a more successful enter
tainment may be looked for.

In view OF the negotiations now pending
between the Directors Of the Suspension
Bridge and the Stockholders of the Edge
field Street Railroad, for the privilege to the
the latter of lay ing their track across the
river, the street cars on Sunday last COM
menced extending their trips to the Edge
field terminus of the bridge, from which
point the cars were a few days since with
drawn. 1t is supposed that at the meeting
of the Bridge Directors to be held to-day
the terms and conditions on which the street
cars will be allowed to cross the bridge will
be agreed upon and submitted to the Rail-
road Stockholders. Should these terms be
agreed to by the latter, it is probable that
the cars will be crossing the bridge before
the expiration Of the present week.

DR.. r. Y. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Z, in
his book on Chronic Diseases, says in re-
gard to his Golden Medical Discovery, with
which our readers are familiar: "From its
wonderful power over Consumption of the
Lungs, had thought strongly of calling it
my Consumptive Cure; but from the fact
that it is perfect specific for the sore throat
and hoarseness to which ministers and other
public speakers and singers are subject, and
also for, Bronchitis and all severe Coughs,
and is an invaluable remedy for diseases of
the Liver, and also as Blood Purifier, l
decided not to apply to it a name which
might mislead and prevent its use in other
diseases for which it is so admirably adapted.
SIT will cure cough in one half the time
necessary to cure it with any other medi-
cine, and it does it no. by drying it up, but
by removing the cause subduing the irri-
tation and healing the affected parts"
This valuable medicine is sold by all first
class druggists. mhl2 deOd1w&w1t

a man named Lewis Taylor was convict
ed in Giles county of the crime Of grand
larceny, and sentenced 10 imprisonment in
the Penitentiary. The condemned man ap-

while being conveyed from the Capitol to
jail, Immediately after the decision
ofthe court, threw off his handouts and
escaped from the guard who had him in
charge. All efforts 10 recapture Tayl2r
were at the time fruitless, and until Thurs

probable whereabouts of the truant prison

luck would have it, Taylor was captured by

were genuine or no, was assured that they
were and that in two days he would see at
