David Burlington, were bitten by him The proceedings of the animal in Washington and the action of the town au- thorities there are reported by correspondents from Washington and New Preston. The Hartford Post of Tuesday evening has further report of damage done by this dog in New NaaGOrd. where he bit a man, eleven dogs and yEas Sadly killed:
 Tzkang the road to New Milford, about six miles diSsant. he arrived there about II o'clock and in Aslf an hour had bitten at least eleven .dogs and one man. from Bridgewater, named Higgin,- Dr. Taylor at once dressed and cau- aeFixed Higgins wound and perhaps no serious consequences may ensue. The dogtore through Khe crowd assembled on Bank street and dis appeared in spite of few pistol-shots. Chas. ed by men with teams, he was finalty dis pstelsed while going through the railroad bridge over the Housatonic river, mile south O.' fhe village.
 Ii See1ns probable that the animal may have zone th rough the easterly part of this town in the night. when his movements were unno- ticrd and W den he might have bitten large number Of dogs, Ought not our authorities to compel the muzzling of dogs?
