THE Enquire recommends. that every
poor farmer in the State raise an extra pig
each year to be called the "State pig" with
which to pay off the public debt. This
would make square work for every farmer
whose extra tax, by reason of the State
debt, did not exceed seven dollars and fifty
cents. Buff it exceeded that sum, the
estate pig" would have to succumb to the
more popular currency of the day. We
have some recollection of how extra
Billy" Smith obtained his once popular, if
not elegant, sob,iqna, but we fancy that
this ''extra piggy" title, as applied to our
poorer class of farmers, will be anything
but tasteful to them. But perhaps our
neighbor of the Eaquirer intends no per-
sonal reflection upon the class of farmers
named, but is only bidding for happy
sojriqtet himself. "a

everywhere the school of vice, especially
of the lower and more degrading
vices which sap the foundation
of the public morals, and render
fruitless all efforts to build on higher
plane of virtue than the people have before
thought to reach. Secondly, it prevents
pauperism, the chief source of weakness to
a state in which the practical industries are
attainable by educated or skilled labor
This truth is most strikingly illustrated by
comparison of the labor statistics of any
country where education is universal, with
any other, similarly situated, where it is
limited or only partial and still more
strikingly illustrated by an actual survey
of their relative thrift and industry. -
Third, education largely increases the tax
able property of state. This it
does in various ways--in developing new
notwithstanding old industries into new
channels-giving strength to weak ones,
and adding a new impetus to those already
advanced-in opening up sources of SUBJ
stantial wealth before unnoticed, or little
needed by uncultured labor--in regene-
rating soils, opening quarries, developing
mines, diversifying production, advancing
public improvements, and in a thousand
other ways contributing to the growth and
prosperity of the State.
Why should not education, which thus
adds to the security, protection, and chic
advancement of property, demand Of il
some equivalent in return !? In the mos
thriving States of the Union education is
now entirely supported by property, tht
schools having been made absolutely fret
to all, without any odious rate-bill, or any
thing more demanded of the poor than tina
then children shall attend the publi
schools, without charge, for specifiet
number of months in each year.

THE DOG LAW.

One of the most important questions
now before the General Assembly is that
of a proper Dog lava law that shall
establish some uniform rule in regard to
the keeping of these animals, and the kind
of restraint that shall be exercised over
them. For while dogs are generally dis
tinguished for intelligence, docility, and at
tachment to man, above all other inferior
brutes, there are some dogs land their num-
Der is by no means smalD which are not only
not so distinguished among their canine fell
lows, but exhibit entire different qualities
becoming 50 mean, worthless and utterly
demoralized as dogs, that they are insuffer-
able pests in whatever community they
may be found. And the number of this
class of dogs is rapidly increasing, 50 that
decentralization among them is now almost
general To find anywhere well.
demeaned, honest mastiff,, properly
trained hound, decent spaniel, comely
cur, or terrier, or barrier, or bloodhound,
or eyen--the most innocent of all a
shepherd dog, Is to search as Diogenes did
with his lamp for an honest man. You
cannot find them INSIDE or outside of any
dog kennel in the State. In fact, dogs
have become so shltess-so utterly de-
moralized and worthless as dogs-that
they have no kennels, but run at large
without any shelter to their heads, or any
honest agocation but that of-stealing
sheep.
Formerly dogs had masters, those who
trained them to honest habits, and the
man Of wealth generally had the greatest
number Of them. Now everybody has a
dog, and the rule is so far changed that
mans poverty may be determined by the
number Of worthless CANNES he keeps. A

THE anti-protectionist would have the
people of the United States pay, from their
accumulated earnings, all the taxes, state,
national and local, and relieve the foreigner,
who seeks our markets to enjoy their adj
vantages and profits, from defraying any
part of the public burden. In other words,
they would give the foreign producer this
advantage over the American, that while
the former has all the advantages of an
equality in trade among our people, the lat
ter shall pay all the expenses of the gov
eminent in maintaining such an equality.
