EDITOR JouRxA1.-The act which shon,d
have been entitled
''AH ACT FOR TIRE PROTECTION OF WOLVES "
which was last winter made into law bv
the assembled wisdom (!) Of the State, is
having the desired effect, and those useful
and ornamental animals are becoming
quite plenty in this region. I am inform
cd ~ MIR. G. T. Rice, who keeps the hotel
some eight or ten miles below here, that
some Of his sheep were taken out Of the
yard and devoured within a half mile of
the house. OF late, however, the wolves
have become fastidious. They kill fat
lamb, select the latest and most delicious
morsels, and leave the rest taking another
lamb or two to finish the meal. Several
others have lost from Is to so per cent. of
their sheep from the same cause. The
wolves will not take bait they can't at.
ford it with the bounty at three dollars.
3d. when not engaged in killing lambs OF
some such laudable occupation, they are
multiplying and covering the face of the
earth. While the bounty was kept at ten
dollars they did not seem to prosper, but
the generous protection afforded them the
past year will no doubt be appreciated!

but they mistake. .'Uncle Jim LAMBERT
mas the best two-year old colt I ever saw:
perhaps not the best in the State. but his
equal is hard to find. He stands nearly OF
quite 10 hands high and weighs about 100

MS life. Can any body come any way
near that?
