Ohio loses annually $s,OO0,OOO in sheep killed
by dogs and nearly 100000 in injuries. The

to the ninth rank among the States in the num-
Der and value of it's sheep from this cause.
George Wilkes speaks of the 'riff-raff who
have filled the Presidential chair for the last
thirty years. George wants the '.old grand

them are dead, but there are such odd grand

Darlington, Sc, and he's welcome to take his
choice of them.-Neao York Commercial Adver-

More proofs of the Fenton anti-coalition are

daughter, who is now verging upon her tenth
wear. Monroe had once the misfortune to take
this young lady upon his knee and ask her, con-
fidentially, of course, how she would be dispos-
ed towards him provided he became her father.
Counsel for the plaintiff submitted this circum-
stance as evidence of his intention; but the jury
did not seem to think that Mrs. Dexter had suf-
fered much by the disappointment, and after
ten minutes deliberation, returned into Court
with verdict for five hundred dollars. Now,
the most extraordinary part of the story con-
sists in the fact that Mrs. Dexter had been di-
vorced from her first husband because of his
neglect and cruelty; and the first wife of Mum
roe had obtained her release from the CALLING
chain of matrimony for precisely the same rea-
son. After this exhibit we are inclined to place
mere faith in the mot of the 'Rocky Mountain
Statesman" that most of the Western people
get divorces for the excitement of the thing
and that they remarry in order to have another
chance of going through the Courts.

The Biddeford Journal complains that we do
not quote it accurately when we say that it re-
CARDS the consolidation of connecting railroad
lines, and not of competing lines, as dangerous.
A direct quotation from its article will, we
trust, make due amends for whatever error we
may have inadvertently committed:
Consolidation of continuous, but not Compel
ing, railroads is dangerous to the people at
large, or it is not dangerous at ALL for if It only
squelches one clique for the benefit of another,
abe people care nothing about it,

CERTAIN class of classical scholars will be
panied to learn that the Rev. John Selby
Watson who has been tried end sentenced to
death for themur ofhis wife in England, pre-
pared several of those very popular aids
known as translations and printed in Bohn's
Classical Library. 1t is matter of comfort
however, that Watson and his friends have
done the work so well that there is little need
of his labors any further unless some hitherto
undiscovered author comes to light.
THE Aryus evidently means to treat both
parties to the consolidation question fairly. Its
Augusta correspondent, whose relations to
the Maine Central have been exposed by the
Star, says good word for his client for every
bad one the Argus says editorially.

himself to be the son of Gen. George Washing

not favor the supposition that he is now attempt

THE FIRST OF MAY-The May Festival
has been by no means neglected in this
place. BY the scholars of Mrs: McCandless
grand picnic is on the tapis for tomorrow
at the "Hcrmitage," Mr.. Adam Teams
place. about two miles below town, while the
scholars of the Misses Reynolds had SIM
liar recreation yesterday at Mulberry" the
residence of Gen. James Chcsnut. The lat
ter place is one of the most lovely in this
vicinity, and at the same time very pleasant,
as the majestic oaks throw cool and entic-
inc shadow across the sward. The woods
will ring with the merry shouts Of the chill
drcn, and such quantities of flowers as will
be gathered from the wildwood can be bet
ter imagined than described.
The programme has been varied this year,
as last May the Misses Reynolds had a cor
ronation and refreshments for their guests,
which went off exceedingly well, and Mrs.
McCandless had not then returned to Cam
den.
In old times the great events Of the May
day we're a coronation and then grand
dancing party, at which old and young were
accustomed to be present and participate in
the pleasures Of the occasion.
We hope that the picnics will be pleasant
and give to the scholars new impetus in
the preparation Of their studies.
