Dogs VS.. Sheep.

1t is stated that ten millions of dol
lars worth:ef sheep are annually de-
stroyef6 y.degsiin the United States.
1t is also said that there are six mill
ION ofdogs. Some one suggests that
the National Government assess one
dollar tax ion every dog, which would
raise six million dollars, or else it would
work the destruction OF worthless
dogs, and, only valuable mes would be
kept. Wen, since everything else a
man owns is taxed, we do not see why
dogs should not be, especially since
most of them are mere nuisances.
The result ofsuch tax on dogs would
be this, as held by some n who seems
TO know:
"First. 1t would Improve tho blood
Of the races of dogs themselves, comb

Second. It would guard the sheep,
thus fostering the production of WOOL
and increasing the national revenues
In that direction.
Third. 1t would add to the securi-
ty. and health of the farmers, who, in
almost every section, grow sheep, even
if it Is only: one or two.
Perhaps there are two hundred dogs
in Georgetown which, perhaps, would

Terrible Murder at Cardington.

On Thursday, the oath ult., he
tween II and | o'clock, L. M, the
citizens OF C~ardington were thrown i'll
TO the widest excitement by a report
that a well known citizen and business
mar had deliberately murdered his
s1n. The report proved correct, and
the facts, so tar Us we have been able
to learn, are as follows:
A. F. McCnrdy, the father, had
been ENGAGED in business in Carding
ton as merchant tailor for some tw"
years past, and kept Il number o
young women in his employ as seam
stresses. He was living with hi,

for several years, and for some time
past had been employed OH the b. d

his death, he came home On a visi,
and was boarding at his fathers house.
On the morning of the 18th uIt., at
the breakfast table Majo; MsCurly
and his wife had an alteration III which
the latter accused the Major of being
too intimate with some woman in his
employ, or who ~frequented his shop.
He denied the aeeus ation and called
his wife a liar. The son, fearing that
his father would resort to violence, in

is said that he became somewhat in
toxicated. Intending to go to Fort
Wayne, Indiana, he started for his
fathers store to get a hat and a pair of
gloves which he had left there. Fear
ing to enter, however, he requested a
young man 10 procure the articles for
him. The Young man, not desiring
to incur the d~ispleasure of the Major,
declined, Young McCurdy then said
he would go himself, and at once vent
to the door and opened it. The faith
ser waved his hand and warned him
not t. eI.ter or he would shoot him.
Without needing threat of the father,
young McCurdy remained in the room

smith d Wesson revolver from a
drawer and discharged the contents OF
the chambers into the body OF the
boy, which took effect a few inches

The Richardson Mel srland Case
Seduction and Legalized Adultery
Reverend aGospeiers assisting


in the Crime. -
tFrom the New York SUM-
The Astor House, in this city,
was the scene on Tuesday afternoon
OF a ceremony which seems to us to
set at defiance all those sentiments re
speeding the relation OF marriage
which regard<it as any thing intrinsic:
ally superior to prostitution. The
High Priest OF. this occasion was
Henry Ward Beecher, assisted by the
Rev. Henry VI. Field, d. d and, the
xev. O.. b Buckingham. The par
ties were Albert ID. Richardson, !, ing
wounded by a pistol shot, upon a bed
OF illness, and probably ofsdeath, and
Mrs. Mcfarland, alias Mrs. Sage,
whom Richardson sem tim, ago sed lie
ed from allegiance to her lawful wed
ded husband 4,
This husband had been guilty of a
crime toward his wife--the crime OF
poverty. 1t was even said that haras-
sed by the loss OF his property and the
conduct of his wife, he had sometimes
taken to his cups, to drown care, and
had OCCASION ally been exasperat-
ed to speak harshlyfto the partner OF
his bosom, although, on the either
hand, no charge Of adultery was ever
made against him, and it appea S to
be uncontradicted that he was gener-
ally SO devoted to her that his exceed
ing conjugal affection attracted atten-
t ON and elected frequent remark from
his acquaintance.
Mrs. Mcfarland was a woman OF
PERSONAL attractiveness. She and her
husband and children, in the year
1867, occupied apartments adjoining
those of Richardson, who was ayoung
widower with children. As we are
informed, Mrs. Mcfarland got into The
habit of going out to lunch frequently,
it not daily, with Richardson. After
this had gone on tor some time, her
husband demonstrated with her against
such a practice, telling her hat il
would give rise to scandal. She repli-
ed that she had not before reflected
upon that consequence, and promised
immediate amendment Conf rg
home earlier than usual the next day,
Mcfarland was met in the hall by his
wife, who came rushing suddenly and
as if surprised. from Richardson's
apartments, and then by way ofatone-
ment she threw her arms convulsively
around him and buried him in a shuw-
er of passionate kisses. They then
went to his room, where he gently re-
Minded her that she had broken her
