A NOVEL TEAM.-A man drove
into town on Monday In q spring wagon
drawn by two handsome New F%oundland
dogs. and created quite 3 stir among tho
juveniles. A crowd of boys, black and
white. followed the odd turnout from point to
point, while its occupant peidled out corn
medicine. Upon inquiry we learned that
his name was Eugene I.oomis, that he was
from Hancock county, Illinois, and was par-
nlyzed in his lower limbs. The dogs looked
fat and sleek and apparently contentcd with
their lot and calling. They were harnessed
in%gsniousIy and trotted along with their
master as ri was quite 4 treat to serve him.
The rascals seemed conscious OF being the
objects Of general attention. and evidently
tried to assume a nosehalant air as II to saw.

and are not affected by It." But thew were.
though, and tried their best to please the
public, just rs the human dogs do in like

STOCK ITEMs.-Richard NJ. Sparks
Of Marion. California. formerly of Lafayette
county, shipped q carload of thoroughbred
cattle and pigs to his California farm from
Lexington last week. The stock was bought
Of Mr.. Chcatham and Jas. Kelly, of Lara,e tte
and Mcssrs. Powell and Vale Of Jackson
county. Mr.. Sparks also bought two
Berkshire pigs one month old OF c. o. Grimes
at twenty-five dollars each. and offered Thos.
Shelby two hundred dollars for a heifer
which Mr.. Shelby refused. He asked three
hundred. Mr.. Sparks intends to return to
tnis county in October tor.more fine stock.
There 10 no good reason why our farmers
cannot raise good stock. Care in breeding
and handling pays a larger per cent. than
can be realized from any other labor. Those
who cannot import by the herd or carload.
can buy . blooded colt, heifsr or pig, and
thus begins profitable business in . small
way. Scrub stock will cost nearly NJ much

DAnAos BIZ TIM r1oor.

The rain which zen here On Saturday aud
sundsy Of last week fAprii 9th and 0th)
CAUSED much damage throughoutthe county.
From siufost svcrv quarter We hear Of
bridges, eutserts and fences swept awGv. be.
sides the great foss cntailtd by overfowed
lands and the washing Of the ground.
The destruction on Davis creek was gest-
er perhaps than In any other quarter Of the
county. We have herd Of but ono bridge
remaining intact, that on the Warrensburg
road, and the approaches to that were ron
isrsd Impossible until repaired. The broad
bottoms OF Davis were entirely submerged
aud the low lands almost ruined for the next
years crop and the fences nearly all carried
away. Probably the greatest sufferer IL Mr..
Elijah Glad,ish, near Tabo post office, whose
farm lies chiefly In tho bottom. 1t was well
diIed, butthe dikes (orlevees) were nearly
destroyed and the largest portion Of his
fencing carried of. Judge Tyrse, Gen.
Shelby, and nearly every farmer On tho
creek lost largely.
On Brush creek the destruction was not
so great, but all or nearly all the bridges on
this stream also were swept away, besides
much fencing. The bridge on the warrens-
burg road was broken In three or four pieces
and hangs In the trees some hundred or two
yards below where II was built.
The Big Sni-a-Bsr was "boomIng" alse
and invaded the houses of nearly oil the
people who lived In the bottoms.
Fire Prairie creek, near Napoleon, was
higher than ever known before.
We have not heard of much destruction
Oh Tabs, but from nearly all its tributaries
the bridges have been swept, and the fences
In the bottoms are about all gone.
All the culverts aud small bridges IN Sni-a-
Bar township are reported gone. Wills.
Bledsoe. near Concord church, is one Of the
heaviest losers in fencing.
Ths bridge on the road from Dover to
Page City, one on Cottonwood creek, four
miles south of Dover, and SOME smaller ones
in that locality are gene.
