Demise Of 1T. Warehan,.

The many friends of Mr.. j. T. Ware
ham will no doubt be panied TO hear of
III uueXpect' Il death, which occurred
Yesterday afternoon, at his residence,
Havre de Grace.
Mr.. Wareham, although a compare
tive stranger To our citizens, was not
only well known, but universally es-
teemed by those who had business with
him, as chief clerk. in the Delaware rail
road Office in this city. He had only oc-
cupied the position n little more than
nine months, being called to 1t by the
death of the late Harry Graves, and by
his gentlemanly and courteous manner
10 every one who applied to him for in
formation, he gathered around him a
circle of friends, that very few could
do IN the same length OF time. He not
only had the entire confidence of Mr.. |
n. Mills, manager of the Delaware rail-
road, but of all the officials of that road
and the F. w. * B. X. r.
His death was caused by ianndice
from which he hal suffered for long
time. To show the high regard in
which he was held, all the flags of the
various departments of the p, w. &
B. and Del. X. r., and G. w. Bush *
Son, are at half mast. He leaves a wife
TO mourn his death.

For the Gazette.
We have had one more terrible case of
hydrophohia. 1t is too horrible to think
about. There is no death that man can
think of that strikes such terror into their
mind as this does. Death is a monster
that human nature cannot become ac-
qualnted with. and as a rule, we want
but little to do with il. There have been
cases where persons would rather die
than live, and even some in their extrem-
ity from disappointment and bad conduct
which brings poverty and misery, COM
init suicide, but these cases are few
Even the sucidst in his extremity would
refuse to accept death from this foul
disease. Where is the remedy? 1t is not
to be found in medicine or professional
skill. What is to be done One human
life is worth more than all the canine
brood. Shall We kill all the dogs in the
city l would answer, yes But others
may think than is to severe. The peo-
pie are looking tn the City Council TO do
something, and they must be sharp and
decisive. don't know what our dog or
dinances are, but 1t is fair to conclude
that they are not what ought TO be or are
very poorly executed. Ii the people will
have dogs, make them register them, and
| five dollars is little enough; and no dog
to be allowed To lun at large without be-
ing muzzled. This thing of having strap
around his neck with his register on
it, don't amount TO anything as far as
biting is concerned, and proper reward
to be paid to the officers OF the city whose
duty it should be TO take up and kill all
dogs that are found running at large, in
violation of the ordinance. The citizens
are very much excited at this time on
this question Of dogs. No one feel they
are safe from these nasty little ours that
run the streets, and are of no use to any
one, and some folks keep three or four
of them about their houses which are a
great annoyance to their neighbors with
their barking and howling in the night
time, beside the danger of being bitten
by them. hope our City Council i,
thoroughly awake to this subject of dogs
aud before a months time, they will be
a scarce article in the streets of tlI,
