A Fight with a Mad Dog.
Mr. Thomas A^Jonns. of Oconee
county, had a fierce encounter with
a ma* i dog. day before yesterday,
under the following circumstances :
Mr. Jonas lives about six miles
from Athens, near Jennings’s mill.
He was sitting in his house reading,
when his little son, aged about ten
years, ran in and said that a dog
had tried to bite him. Mr. Jonas
picked about up it. his Going hat and into went the out yard, to
see
lie saw a strange dog run under the
house. As Mr. Jonas stopped to
look under the house, the dog sud¬
denly jumped at him and came so
near that he brushed could his face. By
the time dog Mr. jumped Jonas him straighten again.
This up, the at
each time was twice more Jonas repeated, knocked and
Mr. the
dog off by striking him underneath
the mouth, with his right arm.
Every could time, the infuriated animal’s
teeth be heard to snap, as he
came to the attack; his eyes glared
rreen and glassy, and the saliva ran
in streams from his lips. After the
fourth onset, Mr. Jonas remembered
that he had heard that when a mad
dog is infuriated and can get some¬
thing to bite, bis madness is, for
the time, satisfied. Acting on this
idea, quick into the as thought, dog’s mouth; he thrust
his hat and
as ground.. the dog Both grasped it, both fell to the
rose at the same
time, hut the dog—-as Mr. Jonas
had supposed lie would—ceased the
attack, and ran into the lot, and
under the barn. Mr. Jonas got out
his gun and shot the dog, but did
not of quite pitch-fork, kill him. ho With the the animal aid
a drew
out and knocked him on the head
with an axe, which finished him.
The dog Akins, had previously colorod bitten
Thomas a man, who
lived two miles above Mr. Jonas’s.
Akins went at once to Watkinsvilo
to consult could a physician—with what
result we not learn. lie was
bitten in the chin : and every at¬
tempt the dog made at Mr. Jonas,
was towards his face. Two dogs
were also bitten—ono belonging to
Mr. David Stephens, and one to
Peter Damons, colored. Both of
theso dogs The ought to bo killed at
once. and didn’t dog was a strange one
belong anywhero in the
vicinity of whero this occurred.
The presence of mind of Mr. Jonas
was remarkable, and doubtless
saved him from being bitten, and
from a horrible death. He shows
his hat, with the print of the dog’s
teeth in it .—Athens Banner.
Two Little Negroes Burned To Death.
A gentleman from Harris county
informs us of a very distressing
scene which occurred in that county
on the place of Mr. James Toler on
the 1 Dili instant. The little negro
children were about one and four
years old. The parents went to the
field to their work and left the chil¬
dren locked up in their cabin, and
left is the supposed, fire burning and in the fireplace,
it from which the
cabin took lire. Tito screams of the
oldest child attracted the attention
of the hands in the field, lmt before
they could reach the bouse it was
too late to give any help. Mr.Toler,
who the burning was in building hearing, and also knocked ran to
the door down, but the fire had made
such headway that he was unable
to enter the building. The remains
of the oldest child were found
crouched in the chimney jam
covered with the fallen eatth and
not much disfigured, burned but tho
youngest was almost com¬
pletely being found up. a near portion the of centre the remains of the
cabin. When will the colored
people learn to take better care of
thcirchildren ? Itisnotunfrequent
that we have to record similar oc¬
currences. In leaving little children
alone great caution should be exer¬
cised to prevent accidents of this or
similar kinds.— Columbus Times.
With his own Hand.
Yesterday most" we received the details
of a horrible suicide, com¬
mitted by a young man near Chaly¬
beate Springs, in Meriwether county.
Last Friday evening Mr. Allen
Moody, who the springs livesnear and Chalybeate, purchased

a little powder and a few buckshot.
He returned home and carefully
loaded his gun and set it to one
side. The next morning early he
told his mother that he was going
out to kill some squirrels* and took
the gun and left the house. Soon
after he left the house a gun shot
was heard out at the shop, and
when some of the family went there
they found the voting man cold in
death and his Wains scattered over
the building. en *
