The residents of Howrah have been finding lately that jackals are animals of anything but an attractive temper. In some cases they have come right up to the bungalows in search of prey. A little girl, aged about five years, was playing in a veranda when a jackal suddenly rushed on her and was dragging her away when she was rescued. She was severely bitten. Three natives, while walking along the Kooroot road, were attacked by a jackal, which was only driven off after a stubborn fight, and a tale is told of two women, while standing near a tank, being attacked and bitten. So serious has the state of matters become that the public propose to submit a memorial to the district magistrate praying for the adoption of measures for the destruction of these pests.—Pioneer Mail.
