Last Friday morninga dog evidently mad, came rushing through Sandy Hook The alarm was given, and MT. Edward Taylor, proprietor of the Sandy Hook Hotel, seized his gun, jumped into 2 wagon and went in pursuit of the dog overlook her near the bridge above Mr. John Carmoody's house, and killed her

 This dog came from the district of Zoar, and was seen to pass the house of Mr. James Bailey, and again seen com ing. out of the barn yard of Hon. Geo ". Bradley, but what damages she did (if any) we have not been able to learn. If is remarkable that all of these dogs that have been killed come through the Eastern part of the town. There is a little more interest felt in this mad dog question, and several persons who were inclined to doubt the matter, previous to the appearance, and killing of the dog last week, are now willing to admit that there IS something Tn 1t.

 Our citizens should be careful in mug zling their dogs. We saw some, and have been told of others, that have been mug gled with leather muzzles, which are but poorly constructed. The wire muzzle is the most durable, and safest. 4 dog that can take bone as large as your. Ewo istsinto his mouth, and carry it off is not properly muzzled, and some of the dogs with leather muzzles have been seen to do it. Owners of dogs, need not complain if their dogs are killed, while wearing loose leather muzzle, In the present state of the public mind dogs will have. to be taken care of according to law, or else they will be destroyed.

DIsTURBERs.-In Justice Snyder's
court this morning John Mackin
was fined $40 and costs for an as
sault and battery on the person of
James Kelly. Kelly, who was badly
beaten about the face, was fined $40
and costs for being drunk and dis
orderly, and disturbing the peace.
Both men went to Jail in default of
payment. In Justice SCOTS court
two men were up on a charge of
drunk and disorderly. One urged
that he was not in the habit of drink
ing, and begged to be let off as he
intended to go to work to-day, but
as the evidence was against him he
was fined SIS and costs, and committed
for non payment. The other man
was still too drunk to answer, and
was allowed until three o'clock this
afternoon to sober off.


Is 1T REPUTATION ?-Last week
petition was secretly circulated in
this city praying the District Court
to annul our city charter, under a
law passed by the last legislature.
The petition was presented to Judge
Lewis last Saturday. The members
of our city council knew nothing
about this move until this morning.
This would seem to be a move in
favor of the reputation of our city
indebtedness. Such repudiation
would be nothing short of robbery.
If reputation is the object of this
move to annul the city charter it is
the duty of those of our voters who
believe in honesty as principle, to
defeat the scheme.

ALL along we have, in common
with almost everybody, inclined to
the view that two great powers like
England and Russia, in this day and
age of the world, would not engage
in war, but it cannot be denied but
that the situation is critical and there
are unmistakable evidences that Eng
land is determined to try and check
the advances of Russia towards her
Indian possessions, and that she will
fight, if necessary, to do this.


The continued preparation of both
nations for war, shows better than
anything else, tho animus of
each, and it alone calls for a great ex-
penditure and is drain upon the
productions of the two nations. The
people of the two Kingdoms are ripe
for war and hence war will be popu-
lar with them. England undoubted-

preparation her exchequer is in the
