VAGRANT DOGS.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —Can nothing be done to lesson the above nuisance? Since the beginning of the present year, it has become almost intolerable. The. neighbourhood in which I live is infested with a lot of mangy, collarless. snarling curs, that make night and early morning hideous with their howls; anything more exasperating is impossible to imagine. They fight and whine and chase unfortunate cats in the night, and in daytime give their attention to butchers' and bakers' boys, and even pedestrians. Surely the individual who is supposed to collect the dog-tax should arrange to regularly give a little attention to this matter. If he has got too much to do, he should have., assistance granted to him.- ■< Nobody ever sees' the present dog-catcher in Edinburgh, Cobden, East or Montague streets, and I am told that in other parts of the city the nuisance is equally bad. Some effort ought really be made to abate it.—l am, etc., CAVE CANUM.
