THE MAD DoGs.-Dogs appear to be un-
usually rabid this spring. We have heard
of a number in differnt parts of the state
thus early. Nevertheless the course taken
by some of our citizens, of setting poison,
is not right, and should be disconntenanc-
ed. A great deal of injury may be done
in this way and if no more valuable ami
NAL gets the poison than common cur, it
is not always sure to kill him, and he is in
much more danger of going mad than if he
had not taken the poison. The Village
Board should take the matter in hand, and
require the muzzling of every dog that was
permitted to run at large

About Dogs----What They Cost.

The March report OF the commissioner
of agriculture dwells upon the ravages
committed by dogs among thesheep in the
United States. In 1866 five hundred thou
sand sheep were killed by dogs, and their
value was two million dollars. The num-
Der injured was three hundred thousand.
and the loss estimated at six hundred
thousand dollars. The commissioner says
-"The cost of keeping dogs, most of them
utterly worthless, when calculated for the
whole country, assumes startling proper
tions. The estimate made in the report of
1868, of ten dollars per annum. or less
than one cent per meal, cannot be consid-
cred extravagant, in view Of tie price paid
for boarding dogs, the cost of keeping
large numbers of them in cities, and their
exclusive consumption of meat. AS to
their number, it is believed by many that
they will average one to each family, or
seven millions in the United States. In
cities and towns that average would be
reached, while many packs of hounds and
ours of low degree might be found in the
ownership of single families Possibly
seven millions may be too small. Ohio,
with half million families, is supposed to
have half a million dogs, although little
more than one third of that number are
found on the assessors books. 1t may be
assumed, in view of all the data obtained,
as a low estimate, that there are five mil
lions of dogs in the United States, and
that their subsistence involves an annual
expenditure of fifty million dollars"

BEAuTIFY Your HoMEs.-We would still
urge on our farmers and others the impor-
tance of planting fruit and ornamental
trees. 1t is est m ted that fruit trees pay
an annual interest of forty per cent. from
the time they are planted until they rot
from old age and ornamental trees, set
out around farm houses, lots, and on the
streets, pay for all the trouble and expense
every year they stand.

Supplement.

Our paper contains this week large
and important, if not unusually interesting
supplement, containing majority of the
general laws passed by the late session of
the Wisconsin Legislature. Next week
we shall issue another supplement which
will contain the balance of the laws OF
genera! nature. We would call the partic-
ular attention of our readers to Chapter 20
which provides for the amendment OF the
constitution so that members of the Legis-
lature shall receive three hundred aud Fifty
dollars per annum, instead of two dollars
and fifty cents per day while in session.
This amendment to the constitution will
be. submitted to the people at the next
general election, therefore, weigh the mat
ter well, and be decided which way to vote
when the time comes. Chapter 81 is of
considerable interest, and may be very
profitable to the people Of this county. 1t
provides for a bounty of ten dollars for
every wolf, wild cat or lynx killed in this
state; the bounty heretofore has been only
five dollars for wolves, and nothing for
wild cat or lynx. 1t may not be unprofit-
able to read Chapter AZ, an act ''in relation
to strays." The reading of Chapter 5S
might save fine of $50 or 500. 1t is in
relation to ..'diseased animals running at
large" Chapter 81 authorizes the Secretary
of State to furnish to Clerks of Boards of
Supervisors lists of deserters from the mil
iary and naval service of the United
States" and will do much to preserve the
purity of the ballot box. Chapter Is, IAN
act for the preservation of game," which
appeared in our paper last week, is again
inserted, it being general law, and being
a convenience to be found with the others
Chapter s3, ''an act regulating the hours
of manual labor" is here presented; it has
been considerably moderated, and is far
less Objectionable than when at first in
troduced Chapter s5 will be found to
greatly facilitate the more rapid ascertain
ing of the result of an election, and many
other laws will be found which knowledge
of may prove benefit.

EDITOR CHRONICLE. Why do not our
town officers publish their annual reports !?
Are they ashamed of their doings, and do
not wish people to know them? or are
they afraid of the expense of such publ
cation p | have often heard these ques-
tions asked, and thought it could do no
harm to see them in print. The publica-
ton of these reports, if they are rightly
made out, would let the people see how the
taxes they pay are laid out; and the mere
reading of such documents to a few per-
sons OF election day is not sufficient. They
60 away knowing very little more than
when they came. If published, they can
be referred to at leisure, and thoroughly
understood by almost every voter in the
town, which is impossible from a hurried
reading on election day. QUlDAM

NOVEL AMUsEMENT.-The Grant county
Herald contains an account of fight be-
tween wolf and lot of hounds in the
county fair grounds at Lancaster, on Sat
urday, the 9th instant. The hounds were
finally victorious, the wolf yielding, after
being worried for three or four hours.
After fighting for an hour and half, a
vote was taken, and it was unanimously
decided that the WOLF was the victor !;
whereupon, the wolf was taken off and
boxed up--the large crowd passing out OF
the gate and leaving fof Lancaster. In
the course of an hour or two the wolf was
again let loose, and after short tug on
open ground, the hounds finished him. 1t
was rather barbarous kind of amuse-
ment, and does not speak well for the civ
iization and fine feelings of our neighbors.
