Last ^umiay t.ight the i|u:ctiit- ; ;.f the college and I iw11 was siirrid from its wonted irmujuiliy by a mad-dog coining through the streets, biting every tiling that I el I in his way. It fel' lo poor Jack's lot?a little black dog of ilio rat Terrier family, although of no recorded ped" j igrce but nevertheless beloved by all the carnpass, of whom lie was the common properly?to be his victim. After the Bedlam of confusion which! is natural to college boys in any slirriug thing ] that comes along, order was so far restored as to try to arrive at some conclusion as to what must be done with poor Jack's case. "The dog man 'of the college was called on to examine Jack ami see whether he was bitten or not. A table was brought out of a room and a lauip placed ou it. A breathless silence hovered over the many faces that surrounded the table while the "dog man" with thickly gloved hands pro" cecded to examine l'oor Jack. Then came the sad verdict, that Jack must die. The temporarily lulled confusion again rose to its height, as to how he must be killed. Some said that the military company ought to be called out next day and kill Jack with full military honors, as a mark of esteem, even if he did get in bad company. All were agreed in the sentiment of respect, but the qilestion sprung up? "suppose he was allowed to run loose until nsx' day, he might bite one of the boys and ho might bite soinc other boy, and the whole might go'mad." Suit was decide 1 to kill Jack right -or .?? ??~ I One fellow held the lantern while tho other did the shooting. I$y the dog moving his head a little the ballet tuisscd its mark only wounding hi in in the jaw. Maddened by iho pain Jack made for the Chapel (lie was a church going dog any way) frothing at the mouth and yelping at every jump. lie bounded through the door. The scene that followed beggars description.? The ladies sprung upon and balanced themselves on the tops of the benches with a quickness and agility which has made the gymnasts of the college so much ashamed of themselves, that they only go out now at nigh', to practice on the bars. One hoy brought out two girls, and 1 only give liiin special notice on that account. He | darted up one of the co'ums that supports tne gallery and left his nvo fair companions down amongst the hubhuti. Says he only went up there to see which way the dog was going. No reflection is intended here on the gentleman's statement as to whether ho really possessed this great presence of mind, hut only the suggestion that a man possessed with such gifts should not be contented with a private sphere in life, where his talents arc obscured, bat join a fire companyThe wildest confusion reigned supreme.

Latimer, sitting on top of the pulpit with his feet in the air at ananglo of about <"?0 degrees' did all lie couhl to compose and quiet his congregation?telling I hem to "just he quiet, the dog would soon be killed," although he did not lower his feet an inch. One of the boys did an heroic deed, lieing about 0 feet -i- inches, a fam" ily silling i.u the next scat, c insisting of a mother and children, concluded that lie would be a safe retreat, so they seized him arouud the neck ? all that Collld rr-t 111) to it?mil dim ' llmi-.' screaming until the ilog was killed. It was a sight that would have made any young tragedian turn green with envy to see how nobly he acted and how lie tremblingly comforted those little horror stricken girls, aged respectively from 0 to 1-1 years, clinging around his neck, lie says that he didn't mind it at all. Tall boys have run up ->0 per cent, in value since. The dog was f.nally pounded to a jo'.iy an I thrown out of the window. Dr. Latimer ctawled down from off the pulpit and coutiuued the services. A Fnnut ri t i. Acotnr.sr.? A frightful accident occurred yesterday evening just about dark, at the point wherethe Northeastern Railroad crosses Magnolia avenue, which resulted in the wounding of three men. one of whom, it is thought, is fatally injured. I appears that 11. Rubin and John Kamniuky, two butchers, and a colored man were driving in a one-horse wagon up Magnolia avenue towards the rail road track. 'A'hen they reached the neighborh <od of the track they heard a train coming, I and they attempted to hoi 1 in their horse, but ; the aninttial became frightened and dashed for- | ward on the track an 1 then gave a su ldeti lurch ! which threw the throe men directly on the pilot of the locoirotive of the passing train. Mr. I Rubin fell several yards oil" on the si lc of the , road with a broken artn. Mr. KatnuiUky fell under the engine and had both legs crushed, and the colored man was dashed olF several yards an ! was stunned, but was otherwise unhurt. The horse ran off with the wagon, and up I to a late hour last night had not been heard of. ; The train stopped, an 1 Mr. Rubin catnc down in it to procure a-i-islance to bring Kainuitzky to ilie city. Rubin was found to liave sustainc! only a I fracture of the arm. Kamnitzky, who is a man , of sixty three years of age, was found to he ! fearfully mangled in one leg ami the other loot. 11 is leg an I three toes of the crushc'l foot were amputate! late last night, hut considering the | . Iv.ancciJ age of the patient there is sin ill hope ; that he will survive his injuries. So far as the railway company is concerned, i there appears to have heen no negligence or j carelessness on its part. The llagm in was pres- j ent an ! warne 1 the men hack, hut the horse ! hoeauie unmanageable as ah ivo described, au?l : the men were liurlc i upon the advancing en- ' gioc before they h id time to escape. The accident, however, which is only one of a long and hloody series at this very point, only demonstrates the necessity for a change in the mode of crossing this net-w rk of thorough!'arcs l?y tli ritlu iy?, or else the prompt adoption of a system of gates which will I'e.i ler such accidents ^ impossible.? .\V? - trul (' ir>- r.
