Working Dogs.

The Green Bay 1dvocate says dogs
are used for travelling over he SHOWS of
the north, and are found the only teams
that can go, over snow regions, and con-
tinues:
ain view of the active and thriving
dog trade that has been carried on this
winter, in this region, it would be wrong
to pass by the market fluctuations OF
this new article of speculation unnoticed,
especially when we know Of an instance
IN which eighty dollars was offered and
refused for large sized working mas
tiff. Since dogs have been employed
where horses can not be used at all, their
services are found indispensable in get
ting over the deep SHOWS of the north
When properly matched, trained, and
harnessed, and not oyer-tasked, they will
travel as far and nearly as fast as a span
of horses in day, and it requires less
pains to take care of them and keep
them in order. They are found capa-
bic of enduring great fatigue and hard
ship, and can perform an astonishing
amount Of severe labor. The owners
Of fayorite dogs take as much pride in
having them gayly caparisoned and well
treated, rs do the owners of fine horses
in attending to the appearance and wants
of that noble animal. The ordinary
price for dogs is from five to thirty dol
lars. according to their working qualities,
and in some cases no offers will induce
the owners to part with them, Occa-
sionally some good-looking specimens of
the canine race have mysteriously disap-
peared from this neighborhood--to the
regret of their masters and the JOY of
the community. We wonder how they
ike the copper regions.

Anti-LOan Meeting.
OFFICIAL REPORT.

At AN adjourned meeting at buttons.
of the citizens of Kenosha County oppo-
seq to loaning the credit of the County
to the kemosha and Beloit Railroad Com
pany, on the 9TH inst, the following Res
olutions were reported by the Committee
and adopted by the meeting:
l. That if We, upon the final event or
vote taken, find that the citizens of Ke-
nosha City universally persist in enfor-
cling loan upon US contrary to our wills,
we will, to save ourselves, declare non
intercourse with said City.
2. That we hold the original movers OF
this most unjust and unconstitutional
scheme, in no more odious light than the
Senator from this District, who has pro-
we'd his inability and unworthyhess to
act in that high vocation of representing
us in that dignified body, by advocating
this most disgraceful of all Legislative
acts, in direct opposition to the oft ex-
pressed wish ofthe County generally, and
we would heartily recommend that he
resign forthwith.
). That we, the inhabitants of Kenosha
County, do believe that the present Loan
Act is more despotic than any that the
British Parliament passed in 1775. and
we have as just cause for resistance as did
our fathers.
The following Resolutions were then
offered by Mr.. McKisson and adopted:
t. That it is considered bad policy for
a nation to feed its enemies in time of
war.
5. That if the bill loaning the credit of
kenosha County to the kenosha and Be
lott Railroad Company is not repealed by
the last day of the present Session of the
Legislature, nonintercourse with the City
of kenosha is then declared.
The meeting then adopted the bye laws
which were reported by the Committee
and proceeded to elect officers for more
permanent organization of the Society.

Lake Superior Mail.

After the close of navigation, there is
only one method for carrying the mail
to Lake Superior, and that is by men
and dogs-only one way, and that is
long and rugged. The first mail sent 70

route, was in the fall of l845, and con-
tanned one letter. For some time it could
easily be carried in a mans coat pocket.

The Robbery.

Messrs. Editors, In your report OF the
Conspiracy Case" it should have been sta
ted that Hart not only threatenedto blow
Whitmore's brains out if he spoke, but
declared he should not leave the room
alive unless he would sign an admission
of Crime. execute notes for $500, and
give up his watch and money.
1t should be known, too, that the pis-
tol is now in the hands of the officers,
and that to all appearance it has not been
loaded lately, as it is very rusty and unfit
for protection or punishment. 1t has,
however, very bright looking, unexplo-
ded percussion cap on it, giving it the
appearance ofbeing ready for active service
And as few have expressed doubtsin
relation to the matter, perhaps, in justice
to all parties, it should be known that l
have now in my possession two letters
one written in 1851, by Mrs. Hart, to
gentleman, requiring him TO send her a
stated sum of money, and intimating con-
sequences in case of refusal; and the other
written by Dart, in 1858, to gentleman,
stating that it would be too late TO settle
the matter between said gentleman and
his (Hart's) wife after suit should be
commenced, and requiring a meeting at a
stated place the next morning.

might pass in this direction, several col

from their midst into bondage, we have
much mistaken their character.

pose that Shareholders are necessarily

will teach them a lesson that will prevent
the repetition of such outragcs.

GIVE do think tho action of the Senate

most shameful violation of the sentiments
and wishes of the people of the State.
What motives animated those who voted to
kill these resolutions, we know not and care
not. The worst thing that can be said of
them is to say their vote expressed their ho-
nest sentiments. We believe it will, as il
should, consign them to oblivion, as soon as
the people get a chance to let them fairly
alone.
