THE FATE OF A FIGHTING DOG.
BY SIM PELTOU .

A man he owned terrier dorg-
A bob-tailed onery cuss.
And that there purp got that there man
In many an ugly muss;
For the man was on the muscle,
And the dorg was on the bite,
So to kick the dog-goned animal
Was sure to raise fight.
A woman she owned Thomas cat,
That fit fifteen pound;
And other cats got up and slid
Whene er that cat was round.
The man and his dorg came along one day.
Where the woman she did dwell,
And the purp he growled ferociously,
Then went for the cat like hell.
He tried for to chaw the neck of that cat,
But the cat he woldnt be chawed
So he lit on the back of that ere dorg,
And bit and clawed, and clawed;
Oh, the hair it flew! and the purp he youled
AS the claws went into his hide,
And chunks of flesh were pealed from his back;
Then he fiummuxed, and kicked and died.
The man he ripped and cussed and swore,
As he gathered big brickbat
That he would be burned essentially,
If he didn't kill that oatl
But the woman allowed she'd be blest if he did
And snatched up an old shotgun
Which she fired, and peppered his diaphragm
With bird-shot number one.
They carried him home on wndow-blind,
And the doctor cured him up;
But he was never known to fight again,
Or to own another purp.
Folks may turn their snoots at this rythme,
l don't care a ouss for that!
All | want to show is, that fighting dnrgs
May tackle the wrong Tom cat,

gagged in making preparations for a short

corning the frequency of steamboat ACCT

navigation, wherein it was stated that IF

and $50 per cent more freight than now,
while the loss of life and property by acct
dent was great deal less than now. Judge
