Worth Trying.

Have any Of our farmers tried the follow
ing plan of keeping dogs away from their
sheep:
PRESERVING SHEEP FROM DoGs.-Let me
publish to the sheep-raising world, a rem
edy against the destruction of sheep by
dogs, which was given me a short time
since, by a highly respectable and valued
friend, himself an extensive wool grower
1t consists simply in placing on one sheep in
every ten of the flock, a bell of the usual
size for sheep. The reasoning of my friend
is this The instinct of the dog prompts
him to do all his acts in a sly, stealthy man
ner. His attacks upon sheep are most fire.
quently made at night while they are at rest,
and the sudden and simultaneous jingling Of
all the bells, strikes terror to the dogs they
turn tails and leave the sheep, fearing the
noise of the bells will lead to their exposure.
The ratio of the bells might be made to vary
according to the size of the flock. The i'm.
p~ortance of sheep preservation from dogs
the writer hopes, will claim for this commu.

Fair Warning.

Here are two or three hints for juvenile
tobacco smokers and chewers, which we ex-
tract from the Boston Olive Branch
Tobacco has spoiled and utterly ruined
thousands of boys, inducing a dangerous
precocity, developing the passions, softening
and weakening the bones, and greatly in
juring the spinal marrow, the brain, and the
whole nervous fluid. A boy who early and
freely smokes, or otherwise largely uses to-
bacco, never is known to make a man Of
much energy of character, and generally
lacks physical and muscular, as well as men.
tai energy. To people older, who are nat
urally nervous, and particularly to the
phlegmatic, tobacco may be comparatively
harmless, but even to these it is worse than
useless. We would particularly warn boys
who wan to be any body in the world,
to shun tobacco as they would a deadly
poison,

Distressing Accident.

On Saturday evening last, a son of Mr.
SAMUEL SHARP, Of this place, aged about IA
years, was so badly injuredby the accidental
discharge of a shotgun, that his life is dis,
paired of. It appears that he was in the act
of lifting his gun overa fence, when it went
.of-thc whole charge passing into his
head through the left eye.
We have ever held hat it is worse than
folly to allow children to handle firearms.
and it is to be hoped that we shall hear nc
more of it in Cadiz. 1t is an awful warning
will you be admonished?
P. S. The boy died yesterday at 3 P. M
after painful suffering of near three days.

Further from the Brazos.

NEW ORLEANS, NOV. 10.
The steamship Fanny, from the Brazos,
confirms the report of Caravajal's abandon
ing the seige of Matamoras. The failure is
attributed to want of military capacity and
INDIGESTION. There was a perfect stampede
among his forces, which was increased by a
report that a large Mexican reinforcement
was near, which proved groundless. Sub,
sequently, Caravajal took post at Reynosa,
where many rejoined him. A Rio Brave
paper says that Capt. Ford has recovered,
and will rejoin Caravajal, and continue the
war. The Mexicans are greatly elated.

crowded with numerous bands Of desperate
characters, and some of the papers were
strongly urging the Committee to organize

The project of steam communication be-

The steamer Miner was burned at San
Francisco on the 18Th October. Capt
Clark and one Of the Firemen were badl,

Brown, was burned to death.
The Steamer Columbia arrived at Sar

The Indians were continuing their depre
dations upon the emigrant trains, and upol
the frontier settlements. and much excite
ment continues to prevail. Jeremiah Ryan
of Maryland, with six others, had been muir
dtred BY the Port Oxford Indians.
The San Francisco market continued YER,
quiet, and the demand for goods of all de
scriptions was limited.
Flour is quoted at $40 to sig, but n,
large sales could be effected at these rates.
A large amount of dry goods were goin.
into store to hold over for a better market
in expectation that shipment would fall Of
from the Eastern States.
Clothing was not in much demand, ex

A Question for the LEGISLATURE.

The seats of the Representative and SEN
.ator in the Morgan, Washington and Noble
districts are to be a question of contest, when
the Legislature meets. Edwin Corner as
Senator, and David, Holbrook as Representa-

gan Wing Clerk, while c. c. Convey as Sen
ator. and S. Beswick as Representative, have
the Democratic majority. Independent Of
the question which will arise respecting the
right ofNoble to vote with the two other coun.
ties, there are certain alleged frauds which
will be the subject of investigation. The
only matter of general interest involved vii
be legality and Justice the interest Of po'

the decision of the question, there being 81
large a Democratic majority in both bran

One of the most frightful c~atastrophes it
has been our lot to record, occurred this af-
ternoon. The following are as near as can
be ascertained of the full particulars About
8 O'Clock, and just before the pupils of Ward
School No. 26, occupying a new building in
Greenwich Avenue, near Sixth Avenue,
were about breaking up school, the principal
of the department on the third story of the
building, Miss Hanson, was seized with
sudden illness, of a paralytic nature, which
took such an effect upon her face, that il
caused the greatest alarm amongst the chill
dren, the majority of whom were girls rang
ing from six to eight years of age. Con-
sternation, which gradually increased and
in the midst the alarm of fire was raised
The children at once made for the stairs,
which, in their eagerness they completely
blocked up, and became wedged between
the balastrade and the wall; suddenly the
banisters gave way, and scores Of children
were precipitated to the ground, a distance
of about 80 feet. The scene that followed
battles description. Parents of children
quickly assembled, and as body after body
was taken out dead or injured, the screams
of mothers were heart rending. So far al
we have been able to ascertain, 48 have
been killed, while there are, probably, abou
that number more or less injured. Some

Fillmore and Consul Owen.

The New York Tribune publishes a letter,
.purporting to speak from the book, which
pledges Ex-C Consul Owen to make a personal
and official issue with President Fillmore, as
to his conduct at Havana, and as to his
removal. He remains at his post until Judge
Sharkey arrives, and will then proceed to
Washington, and call upon Congress to in
yestigate his official department and the in
structions by which he was governed.
The Wing press express a doubt as 20
this on-d I, and say he never had instruc-
lions, which read, or meant to read, so as
authorize or require him to remain inditfer-
ent to the Havana butchery. Ii Mr., Owen
was told by Fillmore, as the world was told,
that those connecting themselves with the
Lopez movement would receive no interfe-
renee for their relief, "no matter to what ex-
tremity reduced" of course he could moi
Interfere without officially contravening Fill
more's proclamation. But more, he was
assured that our government would regard
such as the Crittenden party, as outlaws
and pirates"--and could an American Con
sui intercede to protect men at war with al
mankind from punishment according to thu
laws Of nations?
Mr.. Owen can make an ugly showing
against the Administration, but the effor
would be mere sup~ererogation, save SO ia
as he desires to exculpate himself from al
responsibility for the Havana murder.
