On Sunday night week, some dogs from

killed one and damaged several others.
Mr.. Warner removed the dead sheep aud
put up the others. The next day the dogs
returned for a mess OF the plumber, but

kirby's sheep, on the adjoining farm.
The two dogs seized a sheep and refused
to be driven OH BY a boy sent after them.
Mr. Ewing. MIR. Kirby's overseer, then
went for them with Il gun, but the dogs
made for town. He followed, not losing
sight of the dogs, and, after reaching
town, shot and killed Capt. William H..
smiths valuable setter, and Mrs. Mary
jones' dog, declaring them the guilty cure.
Both dogs bore evidence of having just
returned from chase after something.
When dogs kill sheep there is no mercy
shown them by farmers, however valuable
they may be. Capt. Smith has repeatedly
refused $50 for his setter, which was con-
sidered one of the best bird dogs in the

business near Denver, Colorado, two
years ago, finds that his anticipations
were not all dream. He writes that his
sheep are divided into. three herds. and
all are remarkably healthy and product

orth twins, and even his yearlings yield
ed from five to nine pounds of wool per

the bait taken. A few weeks ago Messrs.
Stockwell set their trap again, bending
over stout sapling, fastening the chain
to it, and putting The bait about five

soon despatched ; was rather thin but
