THE Doc NUIsANcE.-The fathers
in abating nuisances in the city have
overlooked the greatest one of all. AT
the lowest enumeration there cannot be
less than one hundred worthless CANNES
in the town; and their only return for
the privilege, is to sleep all day and howl
all night. They are greater nuisance
than the hogs, as the hogs did relieve the
streets of some filth, whilst the dogs are
utterly useless. In the vicinity of the
city last week a gang of these worthless
ours attacked a yearling, got it down and
would have killed it, had not man in
passing prevented. The day after the
same or another gang killed two hogs on
the edge of West Hickman. We hum
bly, pray an determination of Tray
Blanch, Sweetheart, and the entire dog
family-which is meant to include purps
and dorgs.
Here is something about the ever
"faithful friend" taken from the Flem-
ingsburg Democrat:
A dog belonging to Mr. Carey, ESQ.,
left his home one night, taking with him
two pair of boots, two pair of shoes, one
coat and one sheepskin-wentt to Joseph
Revel's and stole pup, thence to Thorn
as Moren's and made an effort to take
another pup, but was prevented He
then went to Stanley Moore's, in Nicho-
las county, killed four geese and wound
ed one goat. which he was only prevent
ed from killing by interference. He then
went to DIR. Hoods, in Pleasant Valley,
and endeavored to carry away one of his
pups, but was discovered and prevented
After running two or three days longer
he was 6ually killed.
Still another remarkable dorg:
Kiah Thomas has taught his dog Hi to
carry note to the market for meat, and
he does it faithfully. And now, when
ever Hi gets hungry, he picks up piece
of paper and runs to the market man
with it, seeking his meat. The market
man calls Hi dead beat "-Bololing

The confirmed cold wet weather is very
materially damaging the farming inter
ests of this section, corn planting is sus-
pended, and will remain so for several
days to come should the rains cease now
Though vegetation set in earlier this
spring than it has done for many years
past, still many of our farmers are back
ward in planting.
The caterpillars are devastating the
orchards, and IT is feared that the entire
apple crop will be destroyed. The ac-
cursed things do pot molest the peach,
that crop at this time promises to be
abundant.

EIGHT FARMS. Mike kitterman is an old, in
dustrious and prosperous farmer, living near
Tiskws Illinois, and is we'll known in that
part, of the State as heavy land owner and an
extensive >heep-raiser. Mr. kitterman arrlv-
ed in Illinois in 1880, from kentucky, with
something less than SO i'll his pocket He
vas then tweuty-six years of ago. He wanted
to cross the river at Peoria. but as the ferry.
man asked 81 for the privilege, he journeyed
along up the river on horseback. Finally he
discovered log by the side of the river: and
getting astride Of it. he held the horse 8 bride
In one hand and pad1ed himself across with
the other He cauIped on the paririe, and next
day resumed his journey up the river Lie
journeyed on to the, place where he now lives,
and determined to make that his future home.
He bought over 5000 acres Of land, and still
has 600 acres on the old homestead. tic has
given away thrty-eight eighty acre farms to his
children and relatives and they are all located
near him. As stock-raiser he has had great
success. and it is said he never sold but two
loads of corn IN market. In the last ten years
he had raised 1000 bushels of corn, and he
has bought US much more for feeding purposes
He has now on the place over 200 head OF cat

his experience Of forty years farming IN llll-
