cite that our railroad will be constructed
direct to GAINESVILLE. Neither the sup
posed action of the Central Company, as
stated by Facts" nor probable con

SHEHP AND DD0s.-We understand
that petitions are in circulation in this
county, to be presented to the next Leg
islature, for extending the provisions Of
the law passed March 18th 1850, for tho
protection Of Sheep, to Fairfield county.
The wool interest of this county is each
year rapidly increasing, and the frequent
loss Of sheep by our wool.growers has
induced them to petition The Legislature
Tor some measure Of redress. 1t will not
be doubted that this is subject Of con
siderable importance and one in which
all Of our citizens are more or less inter.
ested. We were told tho other day that
in the north east corner of this county,
there were killed, during the past year,
about $50 sheep, and this in circuit OF
only five miles. Our informant also add.
ed that the evil was, if anything. increas.
ing. Under these circumstances, it is
highly proper that some law Shold be
passed, which as far as possible may
remedy the evil. The only question is
as to the provisions of the law.
The law of 1850. provides that each
owner of dog shall pay tax of fifty
cents, and for each additional dog one
dollar. The tax collected for this source
is paid to the county treasure ,one half o
which is applied to common schools, and
the remainder forms fund to remuner
ate those persons who have lost sheep BY
dogs, the owners of which are unknown
There are other provisiuhs of less impor,
tance. but all calculated to further the OBJ.
ject of the law. We have not heard how
the law operates, nor indeed has it beer
in force a sufficient length of time to tes
it's utility; but those better acquainted
than ourselves with the subject, think il
will be sufficient to accomplish the pur
poses of it's trainers.
