The assault was committed in January, and the warrant was issued at that time.

ant in bail for Court.

Bitten by a Dog. Dr. T. C. Hutchinson, of Asbury avenue, near Tenth street, met with a painful accident on Tuesday evening, which may result in the laws of the index finger of the right hand. Dr. Hutchinson is the owner of a fine hunting dog named Sam, which is the constant companion of the doctor dur-

ing his professional rounds. The animal, as usual, accompanied his owner Tuesday evening to the post-office, and when on his way home met a pugna-

cious dog owned by George O. Adams and a savage fight ensued. When the

doctor attempted to separate the fighting brutes, Mr. Adams' dog caught the

finger in his mouth and almost severed that member from the hand.

Dr. J. E. Pryor attended the injured man, and after consultation with Dr. B. T. Abbott it was decided to amputate the finger at the first joint. The patient is much weakened from the loss of blood, and is consequently confined to his bed.

Vandalism.

Considerable complaint has been made of the destruction of ornamental trees planted along the sidewalks in front of private residences. Unthinking drivers use the trees as hitching posts and the horses strip off the bark, exposing the wood to the elements, and soon the wounded trees wither and die. Council should provide a remedy for this evil, as we cannot afford to have our town's beauty marred by the thoughtlessness of indifferent owners of horses.

I have on hand several small cottages which I will trade for lots located between Sixth and Twelfth streets, Ocean

City. I also have some good building lost on which I will erect cottages for any one wishing to invest in a home
