WOODS John TUOHY ------------------------------------------------ BITTEN by RATS -- Grass Valley ‘National’ -- A little son of Mr. Abel DOBSON of this place [Grass Valley], aged about 6 years, was bitten directly over the right eye on 2 successive night of last week. The first night his parents were awakened by his restlessness, and on going to him he was found slightly bitten just over the right eye. On the 2nd night he was again attacked, and bitten near the same place, one of the teeth of the rat this time penetrated a vein, from which the blood spurted upon the wall against which his bed was placed. He was promptly care for, and his bed placed so as to render him less liable to another attack. The little fellow’s eye is very badly swollen, and the parts around have assumed a very dark appearance. The rats have probably been rendered more voracious, of late, by reason of the recent tearing down of several old buildings, their secret lurking places, to make room for some of the fire-proof improvements now going up in the immediate neighborhood. >>Friday, 28 June 1861>Saturday, 29 June 1861
