LET HORSES HAVE THEIR NATU
RAJ GAIT,-It is bad policy to r'ove a
team off its natural gait, especially
with lead. It is far better to put on
a full load, and even little more, ard
give the horses their own time for mov-
ing it to its place of destination, than
to make two loads Of it and hurry
them. There is a certain degree Of
rapidity Of action peculiar to the mus
Giles of each class of animals, and in
deed to each individual animal, and if
they are pressed beyond fatigue follows
quickly, while within this limit great
endurance is witnessed. TO test this,
letsa man attempt to move his arms as
rapidly as bird does its wings, or his
legs in walking as rapidly as little
boy, and see how quickly he will be-
come exhausted This will convince
him Of the folly Of attempting to make
his heavy draft horses move with the
rapidity Of the pony or fast trotter'
The law of nature is that heavy bodies
move slowly --Northsoesterra Farmer.

Where are we to look for anything like
compromising benefit? But this army of
ours are not content to olive and let live"
They every year, cruelty and wantonly,
destroy as much more as they consume.
In Ohio, the only State, we believe, pre-
serving statistics of this character, we find
that in 1867, there were killed and injured
by dogs, 53,557 sheep-representing an
assessed valuation of $l23,827,54. Apply
ing the same ratio to the whole country,
and estimating the number of sheep at 3d.
600. 900, we have an annual loss from the
ravages of dogs of 100000 sheep. These
figures are more likely to be below than
above the facts.
1t is greatly to be regretted that legis-
iators have hitherto given SO little atten-'
ton to this subject. At least two-thirds
of the dogs should be legislated out of ex-
istence. This would leave more than the
country has any use for. Owners OF dogs

keeping them, and all animals upon which
the tax or license remains unpaid after a
certain day, should be deemed outlaws,
and their destruction made obligatory
upon some officer, with heavy penalty
for failure to perform his duty in the
premises The fund thus collected should
remain to be applied toward the payment
of all damages inflicted by dogs -the sur
plus, if any, remaining at the end of the
year to be carried to the school or road
fund. q s3
A committee appointed by the audience
attending the agricultural lectures at
Champaign, last winter, drafted bill, en-
bodying some of the above features, and
submitted it to the last Legislature; but
that body found no time for its consider
alton.
Until such time as a remedy is afforded,
the only course open to sheep raisers is to

Judicial Convention.


The first of March is the time. and
Dodgeville is the place appointed for hold
ing this convention. As the district is
strongly republican, considerable interest
is felt as to who shall be the candidate
nominated at the convention. The Rich,
land County Sentifez says, that the follow
ing persons are candidates ]. A. Barber,
VIM. Pitt Dewey, Of Grant; II. A. East
land, of Richland; 0. B. Thomas, of Craw-
ford besides Judge j. 7. Mills, the pres
ent encumbent,- but as the Sentinel is
not considered the best authority in re
publican circles and as we have not seen
such an announcement in any other paper,
we are not fully satisfied that all these
gentlemen wish to be CONSIDERED as candi-
dates. They are all good men however,
and would doubtless fill the BILL" j. A.
Barber is pronounced by the profession a

A dispatch from New York, dated Jan.
%, says: "The abundance of money in
creases and banks are sorely puzzled to
know how to use their surplus funds
Loans were made to day at 4 per cent. on
governments, and there has been consider
able decline in discounts. A few loans,
near the close Of business, were made at 9
per cent"
Here money is so scarce that it is diff
cult to conduct business so as to yield a
profit from investment.
When one-half of the money in the
country is rendered more valuable, by one
fifth, than the other half, and the value of
the former half depends upon the quantity
of the latter half, there arises many mo-
tives in the minds and transa ctions of
commercial men and money brokers in re,
tanning disparity between the two cur
rencies.
Gold has been diverted from its legiti-
mate use as a medium Of commerce, and been
forced into use as an article of commerce :;
and at present it is not simply an article,
but the staple.
The profits in buying and selling gold
are uniformly as great as that of any
article of commerce now belonging to the
trade, and occasionally much greater. 1t
is neither an article Of export or import,
and therefore requires no duties. 1t re-
quires no shipping; for it may be bought
and sold thousand times, and yet never
seen or handled a sort of presto change
operation, and the profits pass from one
mans pockets to those of another.
All the gold is being kept and used as an
article of commerce, and more than half
the currency is devoted to buying and sell
ing it. If all the gold in the country-and
there is abundance Of it-were put in cir
culation to-day, it would only require a
b fortnight to find it piled to the attic in
monetary warehouses, while other articles
of commerce such as wheat, corn, minerals,
and manufactures would rust in inactivity.
Is it strange then that money is scarce
and the markets stagnated? Men with
money have never been suspicioned for
seeking to invest it for the benefit of any
body but themselves this they have a
right to do, and thus so long as they find
it more profitable to traffi, in gold than in
grain, they will so traffic; and just as long
as gold is worth twenty cents more on the
dollar than other money, there will be
kept on hand, securely locked from the
commerce Of the country, one dollar and
twenty cents for every dollar Of gold, and
this money must lie at the doors Of the
gold vaults awaiting its action, and leave
the entire commercial business Of the
country to he carried on with the remain
ing money after deducting the entire
amount of gold and an amount of currency
equal to one dollar and twenty cents for
each dollar in gold.
Congress has offered some intimations
at the present session of reducing this
difference in money value, hence, the de-
sire of money brokers to let their money
on more certain contingency.
Whep the money OF the country-and
there is plenty of t-becomes established
at uniform value, then it will seek its
legitimate channel, and be loaned to men
who desire to invest it in manufacturing,
and commercial Enterprises.

Bey- Odd Fellowship in two words is
practical Christianity. 1t is good enough
to live by and good enough to die by. In
our judgment Odd Fellowship is one Of the
greatest and best institutions known
among men; perfect Odd Fellow is a per-
feet man, and perfect man is what God
desires all his sons to be. Recognizing no
sect, class, nationality nor party, it stands
upon the. great, broad, enduring principle
of universal brotherhood; and blessed is
he who is found worthy and is admitted to
its sacred mystic folds. A good, brave,
true, generous and honorable man will find
congenial spirits under the banner of the
three links, emblematic of the three stars,
!" Friendship, Love and Truth" Seek and
We shall find; knock and it shall be opened
unto you. Darlington Republican. ~
