A Pet Dogs Madness.

One evening recently, says the Balti-
more Mems, great excitement was Gre
atcd at the residence of Mr.. Charles w.
Booz, 40 jackson Square. While one
of Mr.. Booz's children was playing with
pet dog, the animal suddenly jumped
from her lap and ran around the room
with almost lightning velocity. The
family, noticing that the dog was
frothlng at the mouth, made their es-
cape by mounting the tables, sideboards,
aud other furniture in the apartment.
The brute, after many vain attempts to
bite those in the room, rushed through
every room in the building, after which
it returned to the sitting room, where,
in its fury, it snapped at the legs of the
chairs and tables and tore the carpets
fortunately at this juncture Mr.. Booz,
who is shipbuilder, doing business
on Thames Street, returned home
TO dinner. As he neared his
dwelling his attention was at
tracted by the screams of the inmates.
Thinking that the house was on fire,
Mr. BooZ, without waiting to take out
his night-key, burstcd the door in.
When he reached the dining-room the
dog sprang upon him, and a desperate
battle took place. After some moments
OF hard fighting, Mr. Booz managed
by the use of his walking-stick, to beat
the dog into the yard in the rear of the
house, and from thence into shed, the
door of which he securely fastened
The animal barked and howled for near
ly an hour, after which all was silent
Upon cautiously reopening the door,
Mr.. Booz found that the dog in his rabid
fury had chewed the tongue out of its
heed, causing it to bleed to death. Mr..
: on declares that it is almost mys-
,ary how the family escaped the dogs
teeth.

Mr.. kerr's Case.

lFrom the y. Y. Evening Post-Repnblican.
The statement which Mr. Kerr made on
Monday OF his connection with the appoint
ment OF Greene 10 be "A lieutenant in the
army, and Of the circumstances attending
the charge Of corruption brought against
him, was apparently perfectly frank,
straightforward and satisfactory one. His
explanation Of his course in appointing
Greene instead Of some person from his own
district was full and complete, and we may
say In word that Mr.. Kerr has answered
the questions which, a. the Erening Post
some time ago explained, II was incumbent
upon him 10 answer...... This reduces the
whole matter TO a question OF yeracity be-
tween Mr.. Kerr on the one hand and the
man Harvey on the other, and the question
or yeracity in such case Is simply no ques-
ton at all. Harvey, by his own ac-
count OF himself, was broker
Of brides In the public service..-...
Mr.. Kerr, on the other hand, has lived in
the sight of the public for years, and that so
uprightly that no breath OF SANDER has until
now attainted his reputation. His word has
been good in Washington on any subject for
years, and it sgood now against better wit
nesses than Harvey can pretend to be.
When we add that Harney's story was. and
il, intrinsically improbable, and that IL is
contradicted by the whole history Of Mr..
kerr's life, and by that gentleman's present
lack OF wealth, it seems scarcely necessary
for the committee 10 report verdict which
has been anticipated by every thinking man
IN the country. We are glad TO believe,
however, and the fact Is worthy Of notice,
that men OF al shades OF political opinion
have desired the Speakers complete vindi-
cation and will rejoice in il. Even in our
fiercest political animosities the American
people do not forget the public worth of a
good man : character: and while the tenn
per Of the time Is merciless to wrong doors,
the fastening Of a stain upon the reputation
OF Mr.. Kerr would have been deemed pub
lie calamity tob mourned not ejoiced over.
From the \. Y. Tribune--Republican.
Harney's testimony against Speaker Kerr
had from the first no basis except Harney's
word; it was opposed TO nearly all reason
able probabilities and fatty contradicted
by the Speaker himself. An exposure Of
Harney's life and character now discredits
him as awitness. From other sources there
comes crcumsiantial evidence that he pock-
eted the meney he received from Greene.
In addition to all this, Mr.. Kerr gives a
minute and satisfactory account OF the cir
cumstances under which he advised the
Greene appointment. That scandal is
wiped out.
