Wholesale Slaughter of Dogs.

A dog supposed TO have been
suffering from hydrophobia caus-
ed no little excitement in town
last Monday. He went all over
town fighting every dog with
which he came in contact. Finally
a party Of young men caught and
killed it at the residence of ThoS.
NJ. Gilland, Esq, late in the af-
ternoon.
The rabid canine having bitten
several dogs belonging to our
citizens, Tuesday was regular
"Slaughter-day" for the animals.
Early Tuesday morning the town
marshall went around town kill
ing every dog that had been bit
ten the day before. He drew the
line at none, where the owner
said kill him. Several very val
liable dogs were shot, while it
was a good riddance to kill others.
About fifteen in all were killed.
1t is still doubtful in the minds of
some that the strange dog was
really mad aud, asa result,
some of the dogs that were bit
ten byit were not killed.
