AS to the Dogs.

MIR. EDIToR:-In looking over the
Act of Assembly of April 3rd, 1851, ]
read that the council of borough has
power to prohibit and otherwise reSu-
late the running at large of horses, cat
tie, sheep, swine. geese, dogs and other
animals; and to authorize and direct
the killing of dogs running at large con
trary to the regulations of the borough.
Surely if ever there was time when
the exercise of the foregoing powers
were necessary it is the present time
The town was never go full of intrusive
dogs as at present.
For many years the citizens have been
gradually dispensing with the fences
around their front yards -cultivating
them in grass, and some of them IL
shrubbery and flowers; but what a
slaughter will st. Bernard make when
he intrudes upon the lawn? The very
grass is torn up and left scattered over
the ground. Would it not be well for
our city fathers 70 take up this subject
and take such action as will protect the
lawns? If this is not done the property y
holders will have to go back to fencing
again. This. it seems to me, ought not
to be required. The people will look
with great anxiety to see whether they
will be relieved from the dog nuisance
by the town Council.
