A MAD STEER KILLED.

A few weeks ago a dog was seen to pass through a pasture south of South Island, in whic*h were a herd of cattle belonging to John Fedde. The dog acted queerly, snapping at anything that came in his way. Sunday diaries Cornetta, Ferry Haskell and some others were passing along the railroad, when they heard the bellowing of a steer. They watched the animal for some time and noticed he was attacking everything that came in his way and that he Was frothing 'heavily at the mouth, and showing every sign of the rabies. When they attracted his attention, he made for them but could not reach tfhem because of the heavy wire fence. They decided that it was best to kill the animal, which was done. It will be lucky if no more of the <herd were bitten by the rabid dog.— Lowell Tribune.
