anu Gals Aueeu1y hi6no, "ho
day morning number Of dead bodies
were found in our most populous Sec
ton. This is the second or third out
break of this deadly work and owners
of pet animals are naturally indignant
with the unknown perpetrator. The
destruction of life is thus indiscrimi-
nate; any dog or cat with an aver
age appetite for savory food, and how
ever we'll fed, petted and priced by
their owners, is liable to being drug
ged and killed. 1t is evident the
right dog has not heretofore been
reached if he yielded to temptation
Tuesday night, it is likely we may not
soon hear of the dastardly and cruel
exredient of reaching an opprobrious
dog or cat through the necks of all tie
rest of our domestic animals.
The most devilish feature of these
wars of determination was reported in
connection with raid sometime since,
when it was represented that the pois-
on was distribute in some yards in
sugar and ginger cakes-a means as
likely to endanger children as the
brutes. The suggestion, however, is
almost too horrible to con template,
still anybody that will from time to
time deliberately deal out death to
the brutes, to say the least, is not very
far from doing worse.
The matter deserves some watching
both on the part OF our public guard
ians and parents. If it is deemed ex-
pedient to tie up dogs and imprison
cats for safe keeping, it is more desira-
BILE that all the premises where chill
dren run be thoroughly searched
every morning before the little ones
are out, This is more needful, too, be-
cause the mortality and the system of
safekeeping adopted, has lessened the
chances of poison being taken up dur
ing the night This may occasion
some trouble and care, but the safest
plans are always the best.
In the talk about the grades and
makes of -four, it ought not to be
forgotten that there is just as good
-four made here in Frostburg as any
where. This is our experience with
a barrel of Mr. Joseph Carlin's -four.
We have tried high flung brands from
afar, but their merits amount to moth
ing special. Ours is better anyhow,
because made at home.
