The Shepherd Dog.

We have no sympathy for the thousands
of worthless dogs kept in many families,
eating food from the chickens and prowl-
ing about the country killing sheep and
doing other mischief; such dogs are a nui-
sance. But the Shepherd dog when prop
erly trained (Which is easily done) becomes
very useful animal, especially on stock
farms. With Il little attention to training,
nc seems to understand all you say to HIM.
is not only willing, but delights to obey
your orders. He can be sent to bring in
the cattle from any part of the field, or
from the farthest field without injuring
them; they soon learn to understand his
wishes and to know he must be obeyed.
He can be learned to know the name of
each one in the herd, and be sent to bring
in any one you name. He will herd cattle
or sheep and confine them to certain bounds
as directed by his master. He is a stay at
home dog and watchful about the house or
lawn-will keep his eye on a stranger to
see that he carries nothing away. We
would advise every ock farmer to procure
a good one.-American Stock Journal.
BEST BREED OF Cows FOR MILK.-Farnl-
crs who sell milk, and care nothing for
quality, are partial to Short-horn durham
grades out of good-milking common cows.
Those who make cheese and butter prefer
Ayrshires or Ayrshire grades. These who
make fancy butter the chief thing, or who
wish milk of great richness for their own
tables, select the Jerseys. Great mixers
occur in all breeds, occasionally. The
Devons give good quantity of rich milk,
and the Holtein or Dutch cows are great
mixers. Your choice would be wisest,
probably, if it fell upon the Ayrshires or
Devons as giving the returns food consum-
ed and care given, and making good veal
and excellent beef.-Anser. Agriculturist.

TH-. Society for The Erection Of Public Drink
ing Fountains has entered upon a work Of prac-
tcal usefulness ana real charity, which is enti-
tied 60 Che encouragement and liberal support of
the citizens Of Philadelphia. The amount Of
suffering which is caused not only during the
excessive heat Of summer, but at all seasons Of
he year, for the want Of fountains where men
ard beasts can alike quench their thirst, cannot
be estimated The four-footed animals are
obliged to suffer in silence, while men who
would be satisfied with pure, cool water are fire.
quently driven to drinking saloons and forced to
quench their thirst with spirituous liquors, even
against their own iuclinations. The erection of
public drinking fountains in all sections of the
city is movement in favor of temperance,
which will accomplish more beneficial results
than all the speeches. tracts, and sermons that
were ever written or spoken against the vice of
drunkenness.
In most of the European cities there are public
fountains, rich in architectural ornaments and
adorned with sculpture and graceful gothic
tracery which delight the eye of the beholdcr,
while they pour forth a constant and unceasing
supply of water for the benefit Of all who choose
TO partake. There is no reason why such city
as Philadelphia should not be ornamented with
similar monuments, but at present it will suffice
if we have an abundance of plain, unprctending
fountains which will furnish all the water that
is needed, even if they do not delight the eye by
their artistic beauty.
At q meeting held last evening at the residence
of DR.. Swami, that gentleman stated that at one
of the drinking fountains recently erected in
London five thousand persons were seen to drink
in single day, and at another where three
jets are constantly flowing more than eight
thousand persons were known to drink in the
same space of time. These facts are sufficient
to demonstrate the great usefulness of the foun-
tains which, in our sultry summer weather,
will be even more beneficial than they are in
London.
The Fountain Society needs money to carry on
its good work, and it is to be hoped that the
benevolent citizens of Philadelphia will respond
liberally to the appeal for aid that is made for
the purpose of enabling the society to carry out
in the most liberal manner the purposes of its
foundation. The fountains when erected should
be placed under the special guardianship of the
police, and the penalties for defing and mutt
lating them should be severe DR.. Swami stated
as a remarkable fact that in London no injury had
been sustained by any one of the fountains-a
proof that the objects of the society which
erected them were appreciated by the entire
community. The same feeling of respect and
gratitude will doubtless animate a very large
majority of the people of this city; but there are
always few in every large community so de-
PRAYED as to take delight in wanton mischief of
this kind and in of any injury to the
fountains, a prompt and severe punishment
should be visited upon the evil-doer

TYPOGRAPHICAL.-A recent number

to contain an allegation against the
Good Templars which we think the

some Of the tangled notions of
these Good Templars. Cider and
the whole list of domestic wines are

a doubtful compliment to the Good

SHEFFIELD.-We venture the assertion
that tho state cannot produce a fami-
ly more remarkable in some respects
than the Ingalls, family of this place,
children of Hon. Joseph H. and Com
fort Ingalls,. To begin with, all the
children of that couple, ten in number
six boys and four girls-are still
living, the oldest being IS, and the
youngest AS years old. 10 the sec
Ond place, they average 200 pounds
each, the heaviest weighing $50, and
the Iightest $50. The ten weigh just
1000 pounds, and when the father
and mother were alive, the family of
twelve members weighed little over
2400. Most Of the girls weigh over
200 each. The talIest boy is 6 feet
and inches, and we believe none of
the boys stop short of 6 feet In the
third place, this is family of old-time
democrats, the father before them set
ting a patriotic example, which they
have followed, till a year or two ago
one Of The boys, to the surprise of the
whole family, stepped over to the 9th
er side A year ago last fall the
whole family met at the residence of
G. L. Ingalls,, Lyndon Center, and last
week Thursday they were nearly all
together again at the residence of
Judge Ingalls,, of Sheffield. The grand
father Of this family, Jonathan n. In

SOD Joseph, the father Of these child

was bound out till the age of 81. AZ

year or two till he got little money

took his little bundle Of clothing. and
started on a journey into the northern
wilderness, and landed at captain
Weeks, in what is now WRelock

land which is known as the Charles
Matthewson farm. He soon after

Comfort, daughter Of captain Weeks
aud moved into Sheffield, where he
raised his family and spent most Of
his days. He died in Sheffield, June
IA, 1850, aged 76. His wife died
Nov. 2, l849, aged 50 years. Farm
ing was his chief business through life

and speculation. By an honest. i'll

PADDOCK, DEAN & Co.,
GBNTs.-I had about two acres which was ia
poor condition, but | thought it good place to
see what Phosphate would do. l plowed har.
rowea well, and planted corn, without manuring
at all. Through the center were four rows with
out any fertilizer, which gave a slim crop. Each
side of this was your phosphate, (and some other
kindS) Where used your phosphate, there
was much heavier growth, and fully three times
as much corn. Three cared stalks were as plen-
ty two ears generally are and it was all large
and sound. think your phosphate a superior
article, and pays we'll to use.
