DESTRUCTION OF DOGS.

Somewhat novel sight was witnessed in our
streets, on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings
last in the number Of dead dogs scattered here
and there strychnine had evidently been admin.
Istered by some one 10 these, and the result was
that twenty were killed from partaking oft. Our
village ispretty we'll stocked in dogs. it is true
and frequently they make night hideous with
their yells much to the annoyance of the inhubi-
tants; yet VIC cannot approve of this wholesale
slaushtering for i'll getting rid of those that are
worthless IN this way, many valuable yard dogs
must also fall victims Let the Council levy n
tax sufficiently heavy, and The number will very
soon be materially diminished.

EMIGRATION WESTWARD.

their stakes unl join in will, the swelling tide,
moving towards the setting sun. This is pecu.
liar trait in the character of our people, and
whilst their love for common country, may bo
said 10 bo strong and ardent, yet for localities
they care but little, and hence we find It 10 un-
common occurrancc for men 10 barter away the
place Of birth, and the graves of their fathers,
| and seek in wild western scenes, new homes and
fortunes.
The Herald Of Freedom, Kansas paper, csti-
mates the influx Of population into that Territory
the present season, ut 10000, and is of the opin-
ion that before winter sets in, 100000 will have
been added to the permanent population. Mean
time the human current pours with undimin-
ished volume. Many stop in Western Mssourb
| and others continue OH to Northern Texas
There is regular stream of emigration flowing

The Dubuque Times says that the emigration
| into the interior Of Iowa, is immense, and has
been SO for month past. Large numbers Of

see four OF five yokes attached toa wagon. In
many cases they have large drovcs Of cattle with
them.

ces During the past week several hundred
bushels has been sent forward from this place,
and wagons are daily bringing it in. The result
Of this movement will be, that very soon the
market below will be glutted and prices go down,
whilst the surplus OF grain will be run off from
our District, thereby in times Of need producing
scarcity. The crops everywhere that we havo
heard from, are unusually large, and the foreign
