SHEEP KILLED LAST YEAR.-Among
the other business transacted by the Coun-

were passed upon, and claims to the

the dog tax for that year, In full or pro

nunt of ignorance of the provision made
ior these losses for the sheep lost for
which bills have not been presented. we
have the round sum of $1,000 for sheep
killed by dogs in this county during the
year 1872. Who will say that dogs are not

whose spotless linen suits were objects OF

thick clouds covered faces whose smiles g

The storm having passed away, the
drenched party slowly wended their way
though mud and water towards town. Tho
young gentlemen tried TO appear gay, but
with the young ladies the question Of the
hour was how TO get home without being
seen. They finally determined to dismiss
their escorts lis soon as they reached the
suburbs, and seek their homes through
the back lots where the growing corn
would protest their symmetrical figures
from the public gaze. The feat was sue
