DUBLIN, September 29.

Sunday evening, as Mrs. Mead, wife of Mr. Thomas Mead, of Drumcondra, near Ardee, was walking in the garden, accompanied by her sister, Miss Bashford, they were attacked in a most furious manner, by a mad dog. The animal first leaped on Mrs. Mead's back, without doing any other injury. He afterwards ran at her sister, and bit one of her arms and legs in a most shocking manner, and withdrew. The dog, after going a short distance, returned, as if not contented with what he had done, leaped on her, and entirely tore the nose from her face. She has since continued in a most deplorable state. The animal afterwards bit eleven people in the town, and a number of pigs, dogs, &c. He was pursued by a party of the Dublin militia, who overtook and shot him, about a mile from the town.
