Gov. Randall, of Wisconsin, received letter
asking if the dog law was in force, and he replied
as follows:- ..
Dear Sir:-Your letter in regard to the DOG
Law is received. The bill was properly signed,
and is the law of this State; aud that law will
not be repealed, with my appreciation, while
remain in office. No good citizen will object to
it or refuse to obey it. A man who is able to
own a dog, which costs as much to keep as to
keep COW, is able to get collar for him. No
good citizen will refuse to make the sacrifice of
obedience to that law, when he must know that
if it is enforced it will save to the farmers and
stock growers of this State from $40, 0cOto $780,
600 every year, and increase the number Of wool
growers very largely, Every human life lost by
the bite Of a dog is worth more than all the dogs
in the country. man who is not willing to
sacrifice 81 for his privilege, where SO great
benefit may accrue to the State by compliance
with the provisions of the act, ought to be kick
ed out fit. Very truly yours,
ALEX w. RANDALL.

the said Democratic county, quietly pursuing his
way, whittier We know not; and by force took
the said darkey into their custody, and without
any further authority than their own suspicious
carried him (the said negro) into the State of
Missouri, and lodged him in the Princeton Jail;
receiving therefor, as we learn, handsome re-
ward for their pains and trouble.
All of which was done contrary to the wish of
the said negro and under his most solemn dec
larations of being free man, which he proposed
to prove, ii allowed an opportunity so to do, by
his kidnappers; this they peremptorily refused.
but on the contrary, hurried him across the line
to State ''where the negro has no rights that
the white man is bound to respect" and there,
beyond the nope Of trial, he is doomed to re-
main slave while he is permitted to live, not
withstanding he might have been a free man, and
probably the husband of an ai!ectionate wife and
dependent children he, by their act, has been
