Mad Dogs.—Several rabid dogs were killed between this place and Tyner City, last week. Two belonging to Mrs. Johnson showed symptoms of hydrophobia, and were killed before any one was bitten by them. Another large Newfoundland belonging in the same neighborhood, was taken with hydrophobia and was seen to bite several hogs and cows while running off; the dog had not been killed at last accounts. We hope our Marshal will enforce the provisions of the dog ordinance, and kill all the dogs found on the streets without a muzzle. The danger is alarming, and there should be no dogs allowed to run at large in violation of the ordinance.
