The FOURTH DISTRICT Pound NUISANCE
Anotker Kersion.--A writer in the Pieagune,
a few days ago, in support Of an attack
upon the Fourth District pound, introduced
the following statement in evidence:
The owner Of piece of property next to
this pound left his family there and de-
parted for Havana. Shortly since, ne re-
turned to find. every member Of his family
4 dead. They died from the effects OF foul
A vapors arising from this pound.
4 Upon reading the above we dispatched
Reporter to make inquiries, who learned
that the statement was inaccurate in some
Important particulars, and published EVIL
Eence to rebut it. The history Of family
Addiction is melancholy theme, and is
always referred to with reluctance. At the
REQUEST of the bereaYed father and hus-
bind, however, we give his own version Of
tie affair
He was diving some two or three years
ako in his own house, adjoining the pound
At this time. as it appears from his state
nIent, the grounds we're not well kept, and
there was great cause of complaint. On
one occasion a dead horse was brought in
With an 'impounded dray that had been en-
gagged to carry it beyond the limits. Shortly
after two Of his children became Ill, and
Il subsequently died. His wife, some time af-
ter, acting upon the advice Of physicians,
removed to another house which they
owned, where she died some months after.
During tbimperiod the gentleman was in
Havana most Of the time pursuing his bust
ness as engineer Of machinery. His wife
died in December last. A son twelve years
old survives.
Now, while it may be true that the pound
nuisance at the time referred to, say two
years ago, was the cause Of the decease OF
the two children and the final illness Of the
mother, it is not true, as matter Of fact,
that they all died at the house, as stated
nor that all the family is dead, for one sur
wives. Nor is the fact established that the
same fault is attributable to the pound now
thatwas complained Of then. AS the pound
is kent at present we do not think it such a
nuisance as it probably was before the pres
emit administration took control; and 1t was
TO defend it from charge that it is so that
we looked into the matter at all.

RErrRED.-Mr. j. A. Craig, for long
time keeper of the Third District pound,
has boldly thrown up that important posi-
ton, sacrificing not only the bountitul
salary. but the more magnificent pickings,
which we're nearly sufficient to purchase
bread and pay house rent. He is not alto
gether diseonsolate over the miserable fact
that men greatly his inferior, mentally,
morally, physically and historically, have
appeared on the political horizon, shone
and fiourished, while he sat at the door OF
a sweet smelling pound to earn bare sub
sistence. 1t is pleasant to know that Craig
can live on the sweet memories of the event
