A Dog Fancier in Trouble.—A man from Ohio, named James Macrone, was passing down Main street, yesterday, leading a villianous looking bull dog. Seeing a good proportioned specimen of the canine race chained in the warehouse of the Messrs. Reed, near the stone bridge, Macrone impudently thrust his dog upon the other, to see which could whip. A disturbance ensued when Macrone was ordered to avaunt and quit the place with his savage cur. Instead of complying with this request Macrone stood proclaiming his dog's fighting capacity in a very profane manner. He was arrested, taken before Ald. McCourtney and fined two dollars and a half.
