New METHOD OF MAExlSG SHEET
This new method IS now being introduced
| by Nh. Charles H. Dana of West Leba-
non, N, H., and consists in attaching to
the sleeps ear, by means of a closely fit
ting wire ! INK, label stamped with the
name. of the owner and with numbers
ranging from to 1000 or any number re
! CURED These labels are struck out in Il
variety of forms and Of different colored
metal, so that sheep OWNERS, whose pas
lures are adjacent, by employing each a
! different form, will be able to recognize
their sheep and separate them if the flock
becomes mixed with the same facility as
where the ordinary paint mark is used
This label Is entirely free from objection,
and Is superior in every respect to the
paint mark in general use.

close behind. Our Captain cheered on his
men, and led them up to the fence, where

The two companies in front were not sus-
tanned as they should have been, and were
obliged to fall back under severe fire.
The result was that they either wounded
or took prisoners fully two thirds of our
force, besides killing Lieut.. Woodbury.
and wounding Lieut.. Grout very seriously.
One other man was killed in Co. A, of
Albany. A large number were wounded
some dangerously-but we do not know
how many just now, for a part of them
