The news ot tils antics spread like wlld-firo, and at about half past twelvo o'clock the town was filled with roost oxaggerated re ports of tho havoc dono by tho canine, bad enough as this had been. Tho side walks wero lined with people, every ono of whom talked "dog," aud every one of whom feared that everybody else might come to grief by coming In con tact with the ferocious beast. But while these were talking tho more ven turesome wero following tho trail ot the brute, and, descrylug him on Centro street, a fusilide ensued sufficiently lively to have resulted in the doath of every cur iu tho borough, although It resulted uut in the deatn ot the one they wero after J and he died not a mo ment too soon, for, besides biting a lad named Dugan, son of Manus Dugan, ho liadbitttn quite a number ot dogs, a peaceable rooster, and a shoat belong ing to Mr. Berwick. The strange freaks of the beast will, no doubt, be followed by the indiscriminate slaughter of a majority of tho dogs in town ; indeed, some persons, knowing their's to havo been among those bitten have, with very commendable zeal, already killed them ; besides, the loss wouldn't bo great it every ono of them were to be killed. Truo, chicken-thieves and other depredators might, for some time, fol low their unlawful vocations with less risk. But what of that ? Chickens and their produce (eggs) are calculated for food, but of mankind tt can hardly bo asserted that they wero created for tho mere purpose of being carried off by hydrophobia. So let the dogs be killed and lien roosts suffer I The buy, I learn, was taken to Lehlghton for treat ment by Dr. German, on tho afternoon ot the day of the occurrence. Ten Yeara tor noutiery. On Tuesday afteruoon in the Luzerno County Court, nt Wilkes-Barre, Judgo Uardlug sentenced Jonn Mahon to ten years' solitary confinement in the East ern Penitentiary for having, in Febru ary last, broken Into the dwelling of an old invalid named Daniel Gardner at a place called Ransom and beaten and robbed him. It is only a few days ago that Malum, while nwultiug trial iu the County Prison, made one ot the must daring escapes on record. Tho Judge, in passing sentence, dwelt in evident astonishment on this fact. Mahon broke from his cell to the Hue and crawled through that a height of 100 feet, hav ing at one place to pass through a spaco nluo Inches In diameter. He taid that while dragging himself through the flue he was frequently overcome by foul air and feaicd he would have to give up tho attempt, but rallied afterward and came out successfully, He escaped from the prison walls by lowering himself with a rope that lay close at hand, hav ing been provided lo hang Campbell, who has since been respited. Mahon was recaptured at Pittstou. The scene at his trial Tuesday was very affecting. The man into whose house he broke had to be carried into court on a chalt to give his testimony. He Is eighty two years of age and has lived all his life lu the neighborhood of Seranton. The prisoner is only twenty-four years old. Mollies Sentenced' Hon. Judgo S. S. Dreher, Thurs. day morning, sentenced the following "Mollle" prisoners Patrick McKenna, convicted of murder iu the second de gree, to Imprisonment for nine years; John Malloy, convicted ot murder in the second degree, to Imprisonment for five years: and Bernard Hayes aud John McSliea, convicted of perjury, to imprisonment lor ten months eacn. The Malloy Trial. The arraignment of John Malloy, for complicity In the Morgan Powell mur der, was began on Friday afternoon of last week. The Impannellng of tho Jury was completed early on Saturday morning, when Gen. Charles Albright opened the case to them on the part of the Commonwealth. Tho hearing of testimony occupied all day and until about tho middle of Tuesday foienoou, when tho prosecution tested and the defense produced what few witnesses they had. At the beginning of the afternoon session District Attorney Siewers made the opening plea for the prosecution, and was followed by Messrs. F. Bertolette. J. S. Loo so and P. J. Meehan, who spoko In defense of the prisoner, and who, In turn, were succeeded by Hon. Allen Craig, who made tho closing appeal on the part of the Commonwealth. At the opening of the evening session Hon. S. b. Dreher briefly charged tho Jury, who then (8 o'clock) retired for deliberation, and at 11 30 returned into Court with a ver dict ot "guilty of murder In the second degree." Tho evidence produced va ried but little from that offered on the trial of O'Donnell. It was, altogether, tho most rapidly conducted Molly trial of any had here, but alo tho least in teresting. Fire In Weatlierly. A little after 11 o'clock, on Tuesday night, a fire broko out In the clothing store ot Simon Lewln In Weatlierly. It seems that Mr. Lewln was away from home, and his store was in charge ot his son, who bntlt a fire early In the evening on account of the dampness. The storo was closed at the usual hour at which time thero was no appearance of fire. About 11 :30 o'clock tho hostler ot the Gtlbert House passed by tho door and noticed smoke Issuing from It. An investigation led to the discovery that tho storo was on are. Quito a number of persons gathered and soon put out the flames. Considerable dam age was done to tho stock and building. The store is situated under the Gilbert House, and had not the fire been discov ered just as it was, there is no doubt but that tho building would have burned. Wo did not hear the loss which is com paratively slight, but it falls heavily on Mr. Lewin, who has had a good deal of troublo lately. Gazette. The li. M. and D. At The entertainment given in the school ball, on Wednesday evening last, by the above associations, was one of the best ever held In this section of the country.

The rendition ot the several songs, choruses, and duetts by Mrs. Durling, Mrs. Kibbler, Miss Hibbier and Miss Ilauk, and Messrs. Clauss and Kuntz, were highly appre ciated and most enthusiastically en cored. Tho tableaux wero well chosen and produced a fino Impression on the audience. The drama "Awaking" and the farce "John Dobbs" wero well ren dered, each performer appearing to be specially adapted for the part assigned him. The performance giving so great satisfaction on Wednesday evening, was, by request, repeated on Thursday evening to an equally large and de lighted audience. Our Public Schools.

FniLADELrniA, April 10. Tli's morning, between II and IS o'clock, as Col. A. M. McClure, editor of the Times, and ex-Gov. Andrew G. Curtln were leisurely walking down Chestnut street, engrossed In 'conversation, Col. McCIuro was confronted by Nat McKay, the notorious naval contractor, whoso crooked transactions have been exposed by the Times. Without giving Col. McClure warning, McKay quickly drew a small whip from his breast, and say ing, "I have got it in for you, nnd am going to glvo It to you," attempted to strike the Colonel. Quick as he was, the stalwart editor was quicker, and seizing the burly ruffian by the throat, he choked him Into submission. Whito thus engaged, two ruffilans ono from behind and ono in front struck the Colonel several severe blows about the face and head. Col. McClure, after shaking McKay as a terrier would a rat, turned Upon his other assallaiitsi hut only ono was captured, tho other escaping In theconfuilon. McKay and hla confederate ruffian wero taken to tho Central Station, nnd after a hearing wero held in $500 ball to answer tho charge of aggravated assault. Subse quently, on a motion to increase the bail, Judge Mitchell Issued a coplas for the two bullies, and to-night the officers are searching for them in McKay's haunts. McKay will be remembered as the favored contractor in tho sale of the old Navy Yard In this city under Seeor Robeson's administration. Tho Times unhesitatingly exposed his trans actions then, nud is tho defendant in seventeen libel! suits brought by the contiactor. It came out ot the first one with living colors. Tho immediate cauH for the assault was the recent publication of the means by which Mc Kay suborned tho naval officers, having charged to the account foi the sale and removal of tho old jard their bills for whiskey and cigars settled for by him. There Is no doubt that tho assault was premeditated, and that the two accom plices of the contractor were Hew York roughs especially hired for the work by McKay, who lias been boasting for the last few days that he had bought a whip in New York with which to cbastiso the independent editor of till Times. The Coal Trade. The lack of laltb. luaa effective combination Is as general now as It was a loitnbjat iiko thai such a combination would bo successfully ar. ranged. The test point In tho business Is the fixing upon "a penalty for violating tho com pact" as verbally agreed upon. Like the party who said he woa "In favor of the Matue Liquor Law.hts only objection was to Its enforcement," so the parties to tho proposed coal cotnblnatlen are all In favor of restricting coal production, but tbey have insuperable objection to enforc ing It. From all Uiat wo aeo and hear ou the coal combination pi oposltlon lta consummation is as far oft as evor, Tho committee to which had been referred the matter of adjusting pen. allies proper to tho enforcement ot the proposed agreement, and to make report at the last meet' log, adjourned without a wold on the subjoct.
