''The Dog Law is in full force throughout the State

CROP PRosPEcrs.-The smaller grains have
all, or nearly all, been sown in Columbia
county, and many wheat fields already be-
gin to look green. The fine rain on Wed
nesday was just the thing needed, and is
bringing everything forward with amaz-
ing rapidity. The wheat that is up is of
splendid color, and gives every promise
of q good crop. As near as we can learn
from conversation with farmers, the amount
sown this year is not so great as that of
last year, but more corn will be planted.
We also observe some healthy and cheer
ing indications that more attention is to
be given to dairying than heretofore

BW~An old building in Hartford, o., re-
Gently torn down, was originally erected,
some sixty years ago, for The Hartford
Courant. In this building the first Bibles
ever printed in this country were pro-
duced. At large expense the type, all
set up, was brought from London in forty
or fifty "chases." The finest minion type
was used. So choice were those "forms'
that fire-proof building was erected, in
which they were stored, together with the
presses used. Thousands of these Bibles
were printed and bound, and furnished to
the Connecticut Bible Society. Copies are
still in existence in all parts of tho State.
In addition TO this business, Webster's
Spelling Book was issued in large edi-

PLANT FOR THEM THE EvERGREEN"-
An exchange in its notice of the meeting OF
the G. A. R. preparatory to decking the
graves of the Union soldiers, makes the
following good suggestion: We suggest
che propriety of each person, on the day
set apart for the purpose, taking some liv-
ing shrub or flower and planting it out
upon the grave. This will be far more ap.
propriate than the mere scattering Of
plucked flowers upon the graves, which
must wither in an hour."'
