Wolves and Wild Cats.

A law was enacted by the Legislature Of
last winter, (Chapter 45), authorizing
any person 20 put out bats containing
from the 10th of January to the Goth Of
February each year; the bats are to be
placed at least quarter of a mile from
any dwelling all bats unconsumed to be
taken UP within three days after the Goth
Of February Such is substantially the
law. sss'ss
Were one or more persons in each school
district of Iowa County to take piece of
mutton or beef, tie it to the end of rope,
mount horse and drag it about the coun-
try, leaving poisoned bats at known places
where the same may noted and taken up
if unconsumed; all wolves and wild cats
crossing such baited trail, would follow up
the same, partake of the poison and die.
Perhaps the simplest way to prepare
bait is to take old, rancid lard, cut in thin
pieces, sprinkle on each slice strychnine in
quantity the bulk of one or two grains of
wheat, fold the slices over the poison and
deposit them along the scented track.
The only strychnine known as pure and
reliable is the crystallized, sold in small
bottles by druggists at 81 to $1,25. A
bottle of this is plenty for killing all the
wolves and wild cats in town.
The period of time above named wolves
and wild cats are most pressed by hunger,
and it is also their running time, when
ferocity leads them to run continually and
devour incautiously.
The penalty for neglecting to take up
bait within the time stated is fine of not
less than five dollars, and whatever dam
age may be done to persons and property
by leaving it out
j. Button, of Boscobel, a year or two
since, thus baited and found several wolves
dead few yards from bats. j. B. Tur-
ley, of Beetown, so ba'ted, and found a
dead wolf the next morning, and one the
morning following. Several years since
Isaac Mcdonald killed three wolves with
strychnine, neither of them moving but a
few yards before falling dead.
California was, by concert of action as
above, cleared of wolves almost to the ut
termost in a single year.

~ As announced, Rev W. Arlington
delivered lecture at the Court House on
last Monday evening. The lecture was
good, and gave entire satisfaction to those
in attendance, but we are sorry to say
that unfortunately for the Literary Society
who had to foot the bill, and more unfor-
tunately for the citizens themselves, the at
tendance was very meagre, which has
forced some persons to the conclusion that
the only affairs which can draw a crowd in
this place is circus, q horse. race, tea
meeting or street fight.

A "VAGEANT" IN THE ErEs OF GEoR-

missionary, who was preaching to and
teaching the people of his own race in
Pike county, Georgia, on salary of thirty
five dollars per month, paid by certain
Northern benevolent associations, was ar
rested as vagrant, tried, ard sentenced to
the chain gang for one year. His case
was carried up, and the action Of the lower
court was approved, the Judge holding
that the North had no right to send money
South for such purposes, and, further, his
support was so precarious, that he was a
vagrant within the meaning of the law.
He is now serving out his sentence.
