Ravages Of Dogs.

A partial enumeration of the
sheep killed the past year by dogs,
as returned from four hundred and
seventeen counties, aggregating
9S,367, points to loss of half
a million sheep killed and as many
more wounded by dogs, involving
an actual loss of two million dol.
lars, and constructive and none
the less real loss to production Of
many millions more. Millions of
dollars worth of rich grasses and
other vegetation annually go to
waste in the open and grassy for
ests, and in the old fields and
waste places of the South, because
there are no sheep to feed upon
them; and the reason why sheer
are not thus utilizing this spon.
taneous production is, the pres
ence of dogs.
The following notes are but
samples Of complaints coming ur
from every quarter of the land +:
Essex County, New jersey
No sheep kept merely for feeces
on account of dogs.
King George, Virginia. More
than half the focks destroyed by
dogs this winter.
Greenville, South Carolina
Dogs increasing faster than sheep
wool-growers are slaves to dogs
Sumter, South Carolina.-Thir
ty sheep killed by dogs in one
night.
Yazoo, Mississippi.-Half the
sheep have been killed by dogs
Wilkinson, Mississippi.-Atone
time, twenty-three killed.
Lincoln, Kentucky.-Dogs are
a serious drawback to wool-grow-
ing. Our legislators have beer
importuned, time and again, tc
give protection, but they have
turned a deaf ear to our appeal
Rush, Indiana.-The slaughter
is severe in every township.
Ripley, Indiana.-Sheep dc
well when not molested by dogs
Warren, Indiana.-LaTge mum
bers killed by dogs.
Parke, Indiana-The loss has
been ten per cent. BY dogs last win
ter.
Fayette, Ohio.--No losses ex
cept from dogs.
Morgan, Illinois.-Our cores
pondent lest sixty fine grade Soutl
Downs killed by dogs, and many
injured.
Scott, Illinois.-Dogs destroy
more than all diseases.
Scott, Missouri.-Sheep could
be proftably kept but for dogs
Many persons think the U1itec
States government should leVy dtas
on dogs.
Iowa County, Iowa.-Therc il
no disease but the dog disease.
Rusk, Texas.-No disease a
mong sheep, but great loss from
dogs killing them at night; and
unless dogs are restrained from
running at large, as they do here
sheep will become extinct in the
county.
Similar tescould be multiplied
indefinitely. While the reduc'
ton of taxation is the tendency
Of the times, a tax by the genera
government upon dogs, like that
of British and European govern
ments, would prove a hundred
fold more benefit than hardship,
relieving the poor of the great
burden of keeping them, and soci
ETY. of the intolerable nuisance of
worthless dogs, at the same time
improving the animals worth the
value of a tax, and taking from
the industry of wool-growing one
of its greatest burdens of taxation

Republican Demonstrations in En-
GLAND.


On The night uf the goth inst. there
was an immense Republican demon
stration in London. said to have been
the largest popular assem- blage ever
seen in the great city. Republican
flags, banners and enbiems were yo-
ciferously cheered by the multitude
and resolutions were passed d-ciar-
ing sympathy FOR tie French R-pub-
lie, regulating Royalty aud censur-
ing monarchial oppression. One
banner bore the significant inscrip
ton, The United States of Europe
greet the United States of America
with peace on earth and good will to
men," and was hailed with repeated
and rapturous cheers. The meeting
WAS presided over by Mr. Norman,
who made an effective speech. in the
course Of which he alluded to the fact
that while the London press ridicul-s
and sights that republican movement
in England. TO which their own daily
denuuciasions of the worthlessness Of
the Royal family gives constant en-
cOuragemsut and strength, and the
American press. three thousand
miles away. recognize lis imror-
lance and lends it moral support and
generous sympathy as the American
Republic lands it's priceless support
and a glorious and successful exam
pie. These remarks wero received
with perfect tempest of cheers. A
spirited address to the Republic OF
France vas adopted. in which it WAS
declared that the Monarch OF Germa
ny prosecutes the war now against
republicanisIn aud not against France,
and that IN 80 doing they are guilty
of a great crime against liberty and
humanity, against the people o. Ger
many as we'll IS against The people Of
France. The address tells the PEG
pie CT France that the English people
have demanded, and will not cease to
demand, the recognition of the Re-
pablo in France until they have
wruug compliance with their will
from yaccillstipg aud cowardly
Ministry. The Narseillaise was
sung with tremendous effect.

National Bank, of Davenport, Iowa, to be
exchanged for like amount of notes.
The otfense is alleged to have been com

accused waived an examination, and was
committed to jail in default of 81 900 bail,
TO await the action of the grand Jury.
Subsequent to his arrest, Edwins handed
over to Treasurer Spinner Sl,5O0 of the
amount, saying that he had lost the rest in
