win You rake a sheepl

An old farmer, about the time that
the temperance reform was beginning
to exert healthful influence through
out the land, said to his hired man:
''Johnathan, 1 did not think to men
tionNto you when I hired you that I
think Of trying TO do my work this
year without rum. How much more
must give you to do without?'
ooh, don't care much about it,
(said- Johnathan) you may give me
what you please"
''Well, (said the farmer 1 willgive
you a sheep in the fall if you will do
without"
Agreed" said Johnathan.
"Father, will you give me sheep
if do without ?"
fYes, Marshal, you shall have one
if you do without"
The youngest son, STRIPPING, than
said:
'Father, will you give me sheep
if do without %
'-Yes, Chandler, you shall have
sheep also if You do without"
Presently little Chandler spoke up
again:
''Father, hadn't you better take one

County Society was formed to pro-
mote the interest of the farmers, and
that has been its object and aim from
its foundation to the preset time X
1t is to be hoped that in tho future
all our citizens will come forward with
their products of the soil, their stock,
and whatever they may have produced
by their skill or industry, both of the
useful and ornamental, and may the
ladies, as in the past, make their de-
partment the most attractive portion
of the exhibition. In this way only
can our Agricultural Society take its
position by the side of our sister Coun-
ty Societies.

Use OF SULPHUR IN NEsTs.-The
powdered sulphur sold by all druggists
is cheap and handy preventive of
parasites upon young chickens. AT
ter hen has been sitting till well es-
tablished, sprinkle a small handful up
on her eggs when she is off, and upon
every part of the nest, and for a little
distance AL around it. Then when she
is on, disturb her just enough to make
her bristle her feathers, and then dust
another handful down to the skin up
on her head, neck, and every part of
her body not in contact with the
nest, and do not omit to scatter a
pinch under each wing. Then when
the chickens are Matched, there will be
no vermin whatever to leave the hen
and gather upon the young, as is fre
quently the case when no precautions
are taken. One thorough application
such as we have described will suffice.

Death from HydrophObia.

We have to chronicle the death at
80 clock yesterday morning, of Edward,
a young son of John McGinnis, from
the bite of a rabid dog ~A1eut
month since the boy was bitten by
dog and the poison had been in his
system until Friday, when it began to
show itselfin the shape of paroXy SINS
at the sight of water. He continued
to grow worse and finally DIR. Goodall
was called in, but could do nothing of
permanent benefit to the sufferer and at
the time above mentioned he died in
terrible agony. One more victim to
the foolishness of keeping a worthless
cur. There are altogether too many
dogs in this vicinity; the streets are
full of yelping CANNES which are of no
benefit to their owners but simply
curse to the whole community. Why
they are kept is a mystery. Where
ever you find a man with large family
and one encountering an uphill strug-
gle to provide food and clothing for
his children, there you will find one or
more dogs, and the poorer the man the
more dogs he keeps. We know of
men within half mile of the Transit
House who are regular semi-annual ap-
plicants 10 the Board of Trustees for
assistance and who keep from two to
five dogs. This matter should be
taken in hand by the authorities, and
the dog nuisance abated the same as
any other pestilence. The man who
keepe dog, and that dog running at
large causes the. death of any one,
should be held to an account for such
death. The evil will never be uproot-
ed until Il. ose who cause it are dealt
with in the most summary manner

Evening.

It is evening. The rich glow Of the
sinking sun casts athwart the little cot
tage doorway, mellow, golden light,
that enrichcs and inspires the scene.
A balmy breeze blows from the west,
and tall surrounding trees, and the
hedge shrubbery, and the bare garden
stalks and bushes, bend their tops, and
seem to nod a pleasant goodnight to
the disappearing orb. A dream like
stiffness settles about the place. The
busy hum of day gradually sinks away
and the peaceful calm of night settles
round about. The happy domestic cir
Gle within the cozy cot prepare to en-
joy the blissful repose of even. Father
and children are gathered around the
centre table, and while the man takes
his solace in the newspaper, the young
matron sits quietly by her work, and
the little ones discuss rag dolls and sug-
ar plums i'll the corner. The sweet
voiced warbler in his golden cage over
the vine-clad window, has ceased his
merry song Carlo has gone to sleep
on the rug the playful kittens have
tired of their gambols, and curled up
in their little box; and now no sound
is heard save the cricket's chirrup
Stiller and darker it grows, until by
and by, the sharp 'hist!'' from behind
the garden fence tell US that now is the
time to steal watermelons. = Mark

An aPothecary in one of the inte-
rior counties of this State has been
sued for damages by the husband of a
woman TO whom he sold laudanum to
be used as a beverage, and the Supreme
Court has d -cided that the suit can be
maintained. The plaintiff ayers that
the apothecary supplied his wife with
the narcotic day by day for six months,
knowing the use she made of it, and
that he was put to great expense in re-
pairing the injury thus occasiened to
her bodily and mental health. The
case is so similar to that of the liquor
seller supplying liquor 20 a hsbitual
drunkard, that if the decision of the
Court is maintained by the Court of
Appeals, we may expect numerous
suits by wives and husbands whose
domestic happiness has been ruined by
excessive drinking against the immedi-
ate authors of the iniury.-N. 7. Sun.

One ofthe greatest feats of mo

One ofthe greatest feats of mod
ern railroad building was performed
on Sunday lasten the Ohio and Missis-
sippi Railroad, which runs from Gin
cinnati to St. Louis. The road was
originally constructed on a gauge of
six feet between the rails, and it be
came necessary to reduce the gauge to
four feet eight and one half inches,- so
as to accommodate the cars of connect
ing roads. The length of the line is
three hundred \and forty miles; and
the problem was to take up both rails
for this entire distance and relay them
nearer each other. To facilitate the
task the spikes for the inside of the
two rails, as they would lie in their
new position, were driven, and the
holes for the outer spikes bored in adj
vance. An army of men. two thousand
five hundred in all or seven TO each
mile, was then distributed along the
track, and at sunrise they set to work.
After seven hours of incessant labor
the job as accomplished, and at four
o'clock the next morning trains were
running over the road. The entire
cost of the operation, including the re
duction of the gauge Of the rolling
stock, was 81, 1,50O,0Q0.-N 7. Sun,

Did Morgan Iie2

We have seen no retraction by Gen.
Morgan, up to this time, Of his lie
about John Shcrman's speech. Nor
gan pretended to state explicitly, upon
personal knowledge or approved evil
dence, that Sherman's speeches were
printed at the government Office in
Washington, upon paper stolen from
the government, and were wrapped by
government clerks in paper stolen
from the government, then distributed
under frank. The fact IS, as we have
stated, and as the chairman of the EX-
ecutive committee subsequently con-
firmed, the speeches were printed in
the State Journal job rooms, on paper
purchased for the purpose; they were
put up in wrappers in the Journal
mailing room, and were mailed post
paid by the Executive committee. Nor
gan has had a week or two to think
over the matter, and yet he has made
no retraction of the base SANDER. A
gentleman led into the utterance OF
such a slander through rashness or i'm
petuousity, or through a foolish reli
ance upon untrustworthy evidence
would have made haste to make the
amende honorable. Morgan appears
at least, determined ''tO take his time

= Too much reliance must not be
placed upon the public speaking of the
campaign. This is the pomp and cir
cumstance-the heavy artillery. so to
speak, but every old soldier knows
that there is more execution in the
swift, silent marches that precede the
battle than in all the firing at long
range. Organize, organize organize.
The great Flenchman held that the
best war maxim was audacity, yet aud
acity, and always audacity. Substitute
organization for audacity, and with
the same amount of brains and judg
ment in the direction, the result in
politics will be as invariable as in war.

TEXAS, which was n nation once un-

come down peg from her once high
estate, and is now but a fractional part
of n nation. That she is capable Of
national doings may be read in the fact
that her Legislature has lately passed

struction Of a railroad through the State
Of Texas to the Pacific Ocean," evil

Pacific Ocean is one of the boundaries
of that State. The amount Of territory
granted in this extraordinary bill in
aid Of the road to the Pacific is %, 016,-
900 acres-a tract almost equal In size
to the combined area Of all the New

balance this, the bill also gives the for

year eight per cent. State bonds to
spend on construction. Gov. Davis has
