Again has the dog poisoner been in evidence duriiii; the (last week and a valu- able animal belunuing to the editor of this paper was destroyed. This is the fourth doi; we have lost in thiM maiuier since coming to FlesliotUin nine years a'.;o. hers have been equally unfortunate. Daring the past three wocks six dogs hive been poisoned in this town and one killed with a pitchfork. No animal is s lie. If he is allowed to run ho is pois- oned, if he isshui uppoi.soii is thrown in to him. Is it not time that the people of t'lis town did something towards dihcover- i ig the identity of this destructive fiend.' There is too much indifference. Some will say, "Oh it is only a dog." If it wore a sheep, or a pig, ur a cow, the crim- inal would not go lung undetected. Yet this same dog repiesents cash value to the owner, ju.-t as docs any other animal. Then why should there bo any discrimi- nation I Apart from this, too, there is aituiher oonsideiation. A fanner came to town a week or so ago and brought his sleixh dog with him. Before he had got far on the way home his dog died of jioison That farmer will not, henceforth, hold a high opinion of Flesherton and his trade willl'kely^o elsewhere. Looked at in tlu8 liglit business iuterests would, we think, make it necersary to hunt down the wretch who iseuilty of destroying not only the dogs, but the tiado of the place as welL W« liave been doing a little de- teotivo work ourselves during the past week and hope to gain results therefrom. If any one has any hints to offer their names will n^ t bo divul«tfd. There is a standing o.Ter of 350 cadi for inf'jrmatioii that will lead to the apprehension of |any party puftiiigoul poison within the limits of this town. Eiiiteuia. From, Onr Oien t'orren^mtidciU.
