VALUE OF DoGs.-On the 26th of November 1863, band of dogs got among the focks of 1 fine merino sheep belonging to J. D. Patter. son, and killed many of them. Mr. Patterson estimates his loss at full $3,O00. That is not ] the only loss. The fact that such sheen are liable to be destroyed by dogs. deters people from bringing them into the State. We have no doubt that every pound of mutton eaten in New York costs the consumer cent pound more than it would if every farmer could keep sheep without risk of loss by dogs. Every man who wears woolen coat pays dop tax of 0 per cent to enable some worthless cur to keep sheep killing cur.
 MR EDITOR :-The above is taken from the N. Y. Tribune of the 18th inst.-and whatever is true in regard to farmers beiug deterred by dogs from introducing fine merino sheep into that State, is equally true with regard to the farmers of this State, and especially of Litch. field County, and also with regard to all other breeds of sheep. Now as "Cotton is Kine,' no longer, and as the millions here at the North Tn particular, are to be deprived of it to great extent for some years to come for raj ment and clothing. how absurd, yes abominable It IS that our farmers who are striving at great expense to increase the wool crop, while wool Is almost the only article available to take the place of cotton, are to be driven from their iaaaanie purposes by worthless dogs! And thls, ST. IS the shameful and humilitating truth in three fourths 1.-the towns in the State of Connecticut.
 F Let our present dog tax be made efficient and doubled, tripled and quadrupled by our Legislature from year to year, till this horrible evil which stands like lion in the pathway oi the farmer, be abated. Every interest in this whole country demands it. A. B.

The Crime of Murder.

Another of those terrible and heartsicken. ing murders which seem periodically to aflict one and another of the communities of this county, was perpetrated on Monday last in the town of Sharon. Aside from the brief partic- ulars which are given elsewhere of the tragic affair, we have every reason to believe that it was one of the most fragrant cases of deliberate and diabolical murder ever committed in the State, and has such chain of circumstances connected with it, of'which the final act was but the crowning wickedness, that the whole forms tragedy sickening and terrible beyond description.
 We do not wish, however, to preiudge the case Of the prisoner, who now awaits his trial with what fortitude he may, at the next term Of our Court. We know not what defence Will be offered for the man who, if We hear arght, first violates the home of an absent sol. dier, and on his return upon brief furlough murders him while asleep Nor is it material to consider the fact that the parties concerned are ofa low grade in society, little raised above the level of the brute creation. The fact IS patent-another brutal musder has been committed in this county. Will the perpetra- tor receive the punishment the deed deserves ? We are informed by the States Attorney that this is the JifieenM murder which has been perpetrated in this county within the space of eight years. And We also learn that this is but fair per centage of the number of murders committed in the State. Murders are every- where on the increase. Scarcely week pass. es but that we hear of them, committed some. where in the state Our paper to-day chron- icles three cases of this kind. two of them in this county. And yet how rare it is that we read of an execution following the crime!
 When are these crimes to cease and by what means may their number be lessened We conceive there is but one way. Our Ju- ries dodge it. our Courts manifesty err on the side of leniency, which is not mercy. A con- mltment to the States Prison for the term of ten, fifteen or twenty years, has no terror for such criminals. Let every plain case of mur- der be rigidly followed by the death penalty. and we shall have fewer of theso crimes to re- cord, for which the blood of murdered man cries from the grouad for vengeance. Him that sheddeth mans blood, by man let his blood be shed.
