Mad Dog Scare in Indiana.

Evansville, Ind., April 1,—A gentleman living near French Lick, Orange county, who was in the city Friday gives a very graphic description of the slaughter of dogs in that vicinity which had been attacked with hydrophobia. He says that people are in a terrible stase of excitement over the outbreak and in order to prevent a spread of the malady, the dogs are being killed by the dozen. Twenty five were slain in one day. Horses, cows and hogs have been attacked and also a ram. The antics made by this animal were very peculiar. It finally butted out its brains. Citizens carry arms for fear of encountering a mad animal of some kind.
