O mad dog last Sunday morning, and loft
on the afternoon train for Charlotte, arriv.
ing there at s O'Clock that night he went
direct to DR.. Donnehoo, and after exanin-
ing the wound the doctor told him to call
ct 5 o'clock the following morning, and Of
course Gabe was there on time. The
wounds were washed and the stones op-
| piled, and where the dogs teeth entered
the flesh they adhered like steel to q mag
net, till they were full of the poison, when
they would drop of, and were soaked in
warm water and applied egain till the
poison was removed, and they will not
adhere to a wound unless there ia poison
in it,"
