FoRTY-sEvEN MAD DOGS KILLED IN BREcK-
mock TOWNSHIP, BERKs COUNTY.

FoRTY-sFyEN MAD DOGS KILLED IN BREcK-
MOCK TOWNSHIP, BERKs COUNTY.
Information has Just been received recount
ing the terrible work Of single mad dog In
Brecknock township, Berks county, Brecknock
township, Lancaster county, and Cocalie0
township, In the same county, situated south
of this city, distance some twenty-slX miles.
A huge, heavy dog, wild with hydr0phoba,
came swOOpng down upon the people residing
in the vicinity OF the Allegheny Church, Oh
Thursday last, and in a very short time had
attacked and bitten large number OF dogs
said to belong to the Katchels, Wagners, Shelf
fys, Lebboes, HaTnings, Hushours and other
farmers residing in that vicinity
rhe affair created the widest, excitement
as tle terrified dogs went barking and yelling
in all directions i'm that section of Berks and
across into Lancaster county, The huge mad
dog that first made his appearance made three
successive attacks upon the person of young
son Of Aaron Rachel, but was driven Oft each
time before injury was done The mad mon
ster having escaped being killed at that point,
ran ito BOmarsville, Thursday night, at which
place he was lost for the night. On the sue
ceeding day he attacked an emplOye Of Won
Medals mill, by jumping at the breast of the
miller, but was finally, after hard chase, on
Friday, captured and killed at ReamStOwn.
In the vicnety of the Allegheny Church, five
valuable dogs were bitten, that in turn set
upon the neighbOTing animals to such adegree
of ferocity that in very short time every dog
in the neighbOrhOOd had been attacked and
bitten. Forty-seven dogs in all were actually
attacked, which necessitated their instant
slaughter. The most intense confusion wa,
the result, and it was not until some time
alter the danger was over that quiet was re
stored.
The above is certainly one of the most re
markable cases of wholesale slaughter in thC
dog world we have ever heard of. Our --latest
advices make mention of no people as having
been so violently attacked by the mad brutes
as to result in communicating the poison, and
resulting seriously. y.-Hedding Eagle

This railroad is in process of construction under
charter granted by the State Of Maryland 1t
bagins at Baltimore and runs through Baltimore,
HarfOTd and Cecil counties to the Pennsylvania
State line, at near where the said line crosses
Octoraro creek. 1t will be about 45 miles in
length, double track, three feet guage. At the
Penna line 1t is intended to connect with the pro-
posed JunIata L. State Line Railroad running from
New York to the West, passing through Ches-
ter county by way of West Chester and Oxford.
The NJ. d +. X. II. is merely a branch of this
line. The contractors have been hard at work
grading the Maryland road, ard considerable has
been done. We hope the work may progress
even more rapidly. The whole line from Bati-
more to Philadelphia and New York passes
through country that cannot fail to make a road
pay from the heavy local traffic it will have.
