Sheep kiIIing--by Dogs.

On Saturday and Sunday night last, we are
informed that the dogs from this city, went out
and killed some sixteen sheep, belonging to Mr..
Rowland. They were worth some $40 or
$50.
1t is high time that our farmers took some
active and efficient measures to keep their sheep
from being eaten up by the useless and half star
we'd dogs Of the city.
The State nor cities will ever legisate them
out of existence.
Therefore, it becomes the duty of those inter.
eted to protect themselves.

For the TpleuraDh

rof iHe iclSSrupus
Mr.. EDITOR AS picking time is near at hand,
and there are many temperance tnen who are in
the habit of buying the liquid poison called cIis-
key, because they don't know of any better way
of preserving cucumbers, wish through the me-
dunn of your excellent paper, to give them
receipt by which they will no longer have any
excuse for medling with the "unclean thing"
For making vinegar, or pickles, molasses is
cheaper and better, and makes vinegar much
more pleasant to the taste than whiskey, and one
gallon of molasses will make as much vinegar
at taCo gallons of whiskey.
For making vinegar, | mix one gallon of
molasses with seven gallons of rain water, which
makes good vinegar, but when picking time
came last year, (not having much relish for the
'criuer') l thought would try moasses and
water, instead of whiskey and water, and fear
ing that the above proportion might not tie strong
enough to preserve the cucumbers, mixed one
gallon of molasses with four gallons of rain
water, and then put the cucumbers into it, the
same we commonly do into whiskey and wat
er, which when it came to turn was very strong,
good vinegar to use after the pickles were out
of it.
think this year, tina; shall try five gallons
of water to one gallon of molasses, and if it does
not prove quite strong enough, it will be an easy
matter to turn it off and mix in a little more mo-
lasses. Yours Respectfully,
C. G. COTTING.

Richmond, August 10, 1851.
Interesting from Cuba.

New York, Aug. 7.
The Georgia sailed from Havana on the even
ing of the I'd inst.
The steamers Falcon FOR Chagres, and Chero-
kee for New Orleans, sailed the same day.
Great excitement existed in Havana at the time
of the Georgias sailing, owing to the reception of
the news of the meeting held by the citizens OF
New Orleans, in favor of Cuban liberty and in
dependence.
The Government received some importc mt
news the night the Georgia arrived, which result
ed in the sailing OF all the war vessels in port,
with the exception of the steamer Pizarro. This
was effected in the most quiet manner possible
on the night of the 1st inst.
1t was rumored that armed forces were gather
ing in the Florida reefs, and that part of the fleet
had been dispatched to that quarter.
Expresses were arriving every hour from the
interior, but the officials kept every thing quiet
that it was impossible to learn any particulars of
events.
The Government PAPER has been printed two
days aud is said to have contained some exciting
news from the INTERIOR bnt its issue was prOhb-
tied until after the departure OF the American
steamers.
Several executions had taken place, and but
for the refusal of the Regiment to fire the con-
demned, there would have been many more.
Pardon has been promised to all the insurgents
who will lay down their arms, with the excep-
ton of the leaders, who are to be executed or
transported to Spain. Those who have raised
the standard of Liberty consisted of small parties
who acted without concert and were easily put
down by the troops. 1t is said that few lives
were spared. Those found with arms in their
hands were killed on the spot.
The Government feels much anxiety with re-
gard to the loyalty of the troops, as many regi-
ments are supposed to be disaffected.
Many of the troops lately arrived from Spain
have died from exposure, being unable to stand
the climate.
There was a report that an instruction had
been attempted at Matanzas, and the troops had
been ordered to march to that quarter. The re-
suit had not been heard when the Georgia sail

Counterfeiters Arrested.

Deputy Sheriff Moulton from Waukegan, ar

session only about $50 counterfeit bills. They
were on the Sullivan County Bank N. Y.
Two of these fellows belong over in Paris,
Michigan, they were brothers named Cook.
The names of the two others were Hiram Ben

of the day. They are part of an organized

Companies of this city were out in full uniform,
with all their "stock in trade" To say that they
performed admirably ,ceH with their machines,

gineer, and others of the Department, whom it
might be considered inydious to name.
The prices of insurance against Fire, are not
worth as matter of fact one fourth of what they
were one year and a hafago. And it is time to
take the premiums out of foreign Insurance Com
pauies and with half the amount expended at
home we shall have more efficient guard as ainst
