THE quiet borough of East Mauch
Chunk was, on Tuesday noon, thrown
\ in a state of fearful excitement by the
presence in town of a dog whose actions
led people to suspect that he was rabid,
as he would snap and bite at everything
that came in his way, whether fowl,
pig, dog or man. The news of his
antics spread like wild-fre, and at
about half past twelve o'clock the town
was filled with most exaggerated re-
ports of the havoc done by the canine,
bad enough as this had been. The side
walks were lined with people, every one
of whom talked "dog," and every one
of whom feared that everybody else
might come to grief by coming in con-
tact with the ferOciOus beast. But
while these were talking the more ven
turesome were following the trail of the
brute, and, deserving him on Centre
street, a fusilPde ensued sufficiently
lively to have resulted in the dOath of
every cur in the borough, although 1t
resulted but in the death of the one
they were after ; and he died not mo-
mert too soon, for, besides biting lad
named Dugan, son of Manus Dugan,
he had bitten quite number of dogs,
peaceable rooster, and shoat belong
ing to Mr.. Berwick. The strange freaks
of the beast will, no doubt, be followed
by the indiscriminate slaughter of a
majority of the dogs in town indeed,
some persons, knowing theirs to have
been among those bitten have, with
very commendable zeal, already killed
them besides, the loss wouldn't be
great il every one of them were to be
killed. True, chcken-thieves and other
depredators might, for some time, fol-
low their unlawful vocations with less
risk. But what of that Chickens and
their produce (eggs) are calculated for
food, bnt of mankind it can hardly be
asserted that they were created for the
mere purpose of being carried off by
hydrophobia. So let the dogs be xii led
and hen roosts suffer The boy, 1
learn, was taken to Lehighton for treat
ment by DR.. German, on the afternoon
of the day of the occurrence.
