NOTICE To DoGS.-In a small town on the western frontier of France, in which German is still the oaly language of ruany of the inhabitants, measures of precaution were lately taken, in consequence of the great heat; and a posting-bIll, written in French, announced that poisoned sausages wouhl be thrown to any stray dogs. Piqued at this bill not being in both languages, the wags of the place circulated a caricature, at the top of which vas- "Last notice to stray dogs, who atre heteby Pgasn inWformed, tbat after Tuesday, the 20th of July, municipal sausages will be administered to them." UJnder this proclamation are repreaented tvvo foreign dogs, the one a German, the other a Fleming, wbo are much em. barrassed as to the true meaning of the French notification. The Flemish dog, hovwever, concludes that it is an invitation to them to dinner ; and they both regale on the fatal sausage ! * On Sunday eveniDg a number of people returning from the Pattern, usuaUy held in Croom on the 15tb of August, fell out amongst each other, when AMichael O'Neill received a blow of a ston von the head of which he expired in the course of the night.
