Out of-town dogs seem to consider Ram
doIph a sort OF canine Waterbury and as
soon as they attain to a fine state of
frenzy they post straight to this place
and do their best, by swapping and Bit
ing, to make il veritabIe seat of four
footed insanity.
Three weeks ago q brown spotted
hound, travelling incog., like Prince
Helie de Sagan, appeared at A. S. Stokes
and attacked gearing calf that sickened
in due course Of time To prevent the
spread OF infection, the calf was placed IN
an outbuilding, but managed to escape
and ran down to the brook, into which
II would plunge its head in crazy fash
ion though it did not drink. DIR. Scott,
passing that way, was asked to look at
the yearIing and pronounced its case hy-
drophobia- On his advice II was killed.
The hound also visited the farm of
John b. Hutchinson and made furious
assault on valuable foxbound, which
was chained in the yard. A fight ensued.
in which the foxhound was fatally bit
ten. After that encounter, the assaiiant
returned for a renewal OF bostiIities, but
vanished again before Mr.. Hutchinson
could get his gun. The bitten dog,
which his master called worth $50. devel-
oped rabies in so marked a form that ii
waa killed Monday. IL had been kept
chained ever since IL was attacked and
away from the rest of the dogs and the
other live stock, only a cat that the dog
was partial to being allowed near it.
Health Officer r. ii. Cleveland was sum
moned TO cremate the remains, and then,
to make sure OF a clean sweep, the cat
was killed.
The dog at The Manchester met the
spotted hound. too, and perished from
the effects of tho wounds received. James
Mullally's dog was not bitten so far as is
known, but began TO exhibst symptoms
similar to those in the early stages of by
drophobia, and il was thought best TO
put IL out of the way at once. z. q.
Smith, living on the Charles Lsmson
farm, so-called, had dog killed lately on
account of a sickness that was not, how
ever, due to the teeth of the spotted
hound.
In consideration OF the foregoing, lit
tie tendency to laxness in the dog quar-
antine, noticeable within q few days,
should be corrected Children are not
proper guardians for the dogs, especially
when the quarantine was established for
the express purpose of keeping them apart
and OF making the streets safe for the
children. Now and then a dog is seen
running about loose, contrary to the
regulations, though it is possible that
they succeed in dsrting out of doors un-
observed to enjoy the sweets of stolen
liberty. Dogs are occasionally known to
follow teams into the village. in which
their presence is not desired for some time
to come. and they should be left at home.
II is the intention of the authorities to
maintain this quarantine strictly and to
bring the law to bear on any offenders.
