Canine Ravages, on the
SheeDfOld.

Official reports show III o.
an annual loss Of $3, 100000 in
sheep killed by dogs, and near
ly $l,00o,000 in iniunes--a-
loss equivalent to 100000
pounds Of wool or tax of two
per cent. upon the total sum
invested in sheep in that State.
1t is said that in two years,
from 1868 to 1870, Illinois sank
from the sixth to the ninth
rank among the States inl the
number and value Of its sheep;
and this great falling off is at
.trlbnted to. a propoftionate in.
crease in the number Of dogs,
and the lack Of proper legisla-
tion to prevent their ravages
among the sheep. The L4gis:
lature Of Maryland is consider
ing the same subject. The re.
turns from five counties report
over 1000 sheep killed in one
year by dogs.

Runs Out in Seven Years.

There is a prevailing opin-
ion, in certain localities, that
vaccination will "run out" in
Seven Years; and that persons
who would shield themselves
from the smallpox, should re-
peat the process Of vaccination
once in every seven years. That
this opinion is erroneous, we
do not enter tain the shadow of
a doubt, As well might we
insist that a person would be
liable to a second attack of
smallpox, or any other con-
tagious disease, after seven
years.
The theory Of "running out"
is not founded on pathological
principles, but is strictly a
chimney corner physiology
that will not bear the test Of
science, reason or experience.
We would caution all, how>
ever, to be careful to know
that vaccination has taken
once, thoroughly, and when
this is atfirmatively settled, all
may dismiss their fears about
smallpox,
That varioloid may occasion
ally occur after effective vac
cination, we admit, but after
the patient has had the small
pox it may also occur; but in
neither case will it be severe
nor dangerous.
We think the above views
will be endorsed by the medi-
eel profession, generally.

not over and above familiar
with the dark ways of tele-
graphing, went into one Of the
Offices in city with a dispatch,
which he insisted on having
sent off Immediately. The op,
orator accommodated him, and
then hung the dispatch on q
hook. The man hung around
some time, evidently unsatis-
fed. At last his patienc ce was
exhausted, and he belched out:
"Ain't you going to send that
dispatch?" The operator po-
litely informed him that he had
sent it. "No yer amt" re-
