ED1- TOR: Last Thursday morning, was awak- ened by the barking of dogs and the squeal- ing of pigs in their pen near my house, and seizing my gun went forth to see what the unusual disturbance was about. Going to my pig pen, l found some dogs had en- tered into an animated discussion with my hogs. Administering strong decoction of lead from my gun Into the largest of the dogs, he laid down and slept the rest of the night very quietly, but the others succeed ed in getting away. In the morning I found my hogs, which were badly bitten and injured, were not the only or worst sufferers. My sheep had been attacked by the cussed dogs, and six of them killed and wounded; nor did these satisfy them, as l found my flock of choice geese had been the recipients of their attention, and .welve out of the thirteen of them were killed and mangled. The dog killed be- onged to Matthew Coffy, who says he will pay the damage. Yours,
