DoGs.-It is estimated that there are 800,
600 dogs IN the State, and that they cost in
food and sheep killing about 100000. We
think these figures are extravagant, but GER
tainly we have more dogs than we have use
for, and it is generally the worthless cur that
does the mischief to the sheep focks. The
question of taxing them, however, will be left
to the Board Of Supervisors, who can better
determine whether the people of the county
desire to tag them than we can. If the bill
passes in the form it came from the Senate
it will be general 10 its character, and allow
the Supervisors Of any county to avail them.

Editor rirynnian.-I invited Messrs. Gallup s.
Smith out to my house to test their Churn, and
the experiment they made, with both sweet ana
sour cream, was entirely satisfactory to Mrs II.
and myself. The two churnings were performed
in about minutes for about 81 minutes each)
and the butter made and worked, and the churn
cleaned in that time. Mrs. H. says that it is the
first time she ever saw butter made from sweet
cream. We have no hesitation in recommending
the "Gem Churn'' as the most complete success
of the kind tina. we have ever seen or heard of.

AN OUTLOOK.

The nomination of Judge Davis, of Illinois,
and Gov. Parker, of New Jersey, for Presi-
dent and Vice President, by the receat Ma
tional Labor Convention, which met in Column
bus, O., on 22d Feb, meets with general favor
at Washington, outside the friends Of the ad-
ministratiou. The acceptance of the nomi-
nation by Judge Davis, was doubtless pre-
arranged. Indeed we believe the entire pro-
grammc was thoroughly understood by the
Liberal Republicans and that the nominal
tious are to be confirmed by the Convention
which is to be held in Cincinnati on the 9th
of May. The policy of the Democrats is to
hold aloof for the present, and determine
their action by future Developments They
seem to be well-pleascd with the present as
pect of political affairs. The nomination Of
Grant by the Philadelphia Convention, which
meets in Philadelphia ia June, will certainly
concentrate all the elements of opposition
That nomination. however, will be controlled
by the result in New Hampshi' e and Connec-
ticut this month. IF the Democrats carry
those States by decided majorities, then it
will be such strong indication Of the pop
ular current against Grant that he will be
Withdrawn from the field and Colfax nominal
ed The nomination of Colfax will entirely
change the phase of affairs, for less can be
said against him than any man in the Repub-
lican party.
Thus matters politicaflook now A few
weeks may throw light upon the subject, and
enable us more definitely 10 determine the
probable conformation of the opposing forces
in the great battle Of November next. There
is one thing that seems to be pretty we'll con-
coded that we are to have either moderate
or extreme republican for the next President
