Col. John Scott Of the 23d Regiment,
wsre killed few nights since BY dogs.-
Still there are plenty of folks who think
that any legislation to protect sheep from
the ravages Of dogs, il not only superflu-
Gus, but wicked. The good name and
fame Of several excellent Legislators in
in this State we're spoiled for eli eternity,
because these Legislators had the temeri-
ty to vote for law against sheep-killing
dogs; all of which proves that dogs are
not only capable of killing sheep. but
they are capable, also, of ruinisg the po-
litical regulations Of good and wise men.
