Badly Bitten bya DO.

Yesterday forenoon as Mr. Coffin who keeps
stable on South street, was riding up Ex-
change street his dog, a medium sized
one of Bull aud Pointer blood, showed
symptoms of Sickness As hs passed up Con-
gress street the dogs condition grew worse
and Mr.. Coffin fearing that he might bite some
one stopped his team and collared him. The
dog struggled hard and made sever al attempts
to bite his m aster but rope was obtained and
one end fastened to his collar and the other to
a tree. Mr.. Coffin still held on to the dogs
head apparently fearing to let go lest he should
be bitten before he could get out of the
animals way, and the dog continued his strug-
giles and attempted to fly at Mr.. Coffin's
throat, his eyes glazing all the while and his
mouth frothing. The crowd which had
collected believing the dog mad wanted him
shot but Mr.. Coffin protested against this as he
priced the animal highly and thought if some
water was thrown on him he would come out
of his spasms. Several pailfulls were
accordingly thrown over him but they
seemed only to make his condition worse
Policeman Miles was then sent for and Mr..
C0fin finally consented to have the dog shot.
Miles drew his revolver, telling Coffin to hold
Oh, that there was no danger of hitting his
hands, but just as he pointed the weapon at the
dogs head Coffin involuntaril = withdrew his
right hand from the dogs neck and the ami
NAL quick almost as Lightning seized it, in
ficting several bad wounds
Dr. Brooks who was standing By told Coffin
to run as quickly as possible to Frye'S drug
store which was close at hand and wash the
wounds. This he did and the doctor who fol.
lowed thoroughly cauterizsd the bites, apply
ing the tourniquet to his wrist to arrest the
circulation. The man was then taken home
and DR.. T. A. Foster called, and he and DR..
Brooks opened the veins on the back Of the
hand and let out the blood. Precautions were
so soon taken that there is little danger of any
serious result whatever may have allied the dog.
The animal doubtless showed some of the
symptoms of hydrophobia, but as he had been
web up to the time he was attacked on Ex-
change street, there is little if any doubt that
he was simply afflicted with an ordinary fiji.
After MIR. Coffin was bitten Officer Miles
emptied seven barrels of a revolver into the
dogs head with little effect He then borrow
ed larger one from a hystander and the first
discharge settled the animal.

LoTTIE AT THE MUsEUM.-''Lottie'' who is
to appear at the Museum next week, is thus
referred to in an exchange:
This charming actress made a splendid sue
cess of her first appearance in this city as
"Topsy" in "Uncle Toms Cabin" She has a
better conception of this remarkable character
than any attempt we ever before witnessed, and
10 its delineation she may safely be called Der
feet. Her acting in the scene where little Eva
puts her soft white arms about Topsy's neck,
and the slave girl hears for the first time in
her life that she is loved by such an angelic lit
tie creature, is natural and touching, but it is
in the act after the death of little Eva, where
the wonderful genius and thrilling power of
this artistic becomes apparent. The abject grief
of the simple child of toll, her utter desolation
and misery, were SO faithfully and touchingly
portrayed that there was hardly dry eye in
the house during the passage. II was appar-
ent to the large audience present that "Lottie''
made of the character all there was in it, with
out ovarstrain or extravaganza, and nowhere
have we heard anything but expressions of ap-
proval and delight foc the superb genius and
superior acting of this new candidate for favor
in Western cities.

An UNFORTUNATE CASE. Tuesday after
noon Mr.. John Fennemore while attending to
some business at the Chiaese soap factory left
his SOD, lad of eleven years, to hold his
horse. By some accident the boy fell off the
seat to the ground breaking his left arm just
above the wrist Despite his great pain he
climbed up into the wagon and held the horse
until his father returned, and may be safely
put down as one of the pluckiest boys on
record. Mr.. Fsnnemore, the father, is a pool
man who earns his living by peddling soap and
deserves the custom and sympathy of the
entire community. About two months ago 6
younger sou of his broke his thigh in two
places, and another one of bis family is a
cripple for life. We understand that sub
scription paper has baen put into circulation
for his benefit.

REVISION OF FREIGHT TARIFF-For two
or three years past the freight rates between
Boston and this city have been considerably
demoralzed. Soon after the Boston and Maine
railroad was completed to this city, by COM
mon consent between that line and the Eastern
railroad. the rate of freight between Boston
and Portland was fixed at So per ton without
reference to the kind of goods The result Of
this arrangement has been that the greater
bulk of heavy freight has continued to be
brought by the steamers of the Portland Steam
Packet Co., while shippers, taking advantage
of the So per ton rate, which was lower than
the boat tariff, have allowed their light freight
to come by rail-
These transportation companies recognizing
an evil in the above arrangement, have had a
meeting and decided to revise the present
tariff, the new rates to go into effect July 1st.
We learn that the rate on heavy merchandise
will not be materially altered, but the rate on
light goods will be about double the present
tariff. One of the conditions between the rail-
roads and boat line is that the Gus tom of grant
ing free passes Oh account of freight shall be
abOlished

Gen. Charles P. Mattocks, Colonel COM
manding the First Regiment Of Maine Infan-
try, has issued the following General Order:
HEADQUARTERS FIRST REGIMENT
INFANTRY, Portland, June IS, 1873
General Orders No. 2:
|. The Portland Montgomery Guards Bid
deford Light Infantry and Richards Light In
fantry, having been temporarily attached to
this regiment, the attention of the command
ers of these companies is called to the General
Orders heretofore issued to this regiment so
far as applicable, and they will be governed
thereby, Complete files of these orders will be
furnished.
III. An encampment of such companies of
this regiment aud such of the above mentioned
companies as may attend will be held during
the third or fourth week (six days. of August
next, at place to be hereafter designated. No
appropriation having been made by the Leg
islature adequate for the expenses of the En-
campment, the officers and men who attend
will be obliged to do so without pay, but
transportation and ratons for Off GERS and men
Will be furnished free. Horses will be furn-
ished to mounted officers free. The expenses
of the encampment have been reduced to a
nominal sum through the liberality of our rail-
road companies, they having kindly offered to
transport the troops free. Company COM
manders will on or before July 10th inform
the AdiGtant whether their respective COM
mands will attend and the probable number of
men in each. No company will be received
with less than one officer and thirty enlisted
men. No substitutes will bs allowed. Of
fcers of the field add staff will inform tue
Adjutants Of their intentions forthwith.
Ill. The Colonel commanding after ten
years of service 10 the militia, longer period
than that served by any officer or man now in
he state service, hopes that he has not over
rated the zeal of his command in asking the
members of it to serve without pay. Another
year without aid from the state must neces-
sarily terminate our existence as military
force. For the purpose therefore of preserving
lot only our effectiveness but even our exist
ence until the state shall determine by some
definite action whether its militia shall be
continued or disbanded, this encampment has
been deemed necessary. Ample opportunity
will be given for target practice. One COM
ment will be held if only single company
