We publish, in another column, a petition
from the Historical Society Of Delaware, to the
Legislature, asking . small annual approprialior
from the Legislature toward defraying the
expenses that may he incurred in procuring
data and publishing, occasionally, pamphlets
c1ntaining information of value to citizens IN
all paris Ofthe State. The names ofthe gentle
men, comprising the committee, which are
attached to the petition, give sufficient evidence
of the importance and proprieiy Of making such
an appropriation. and therefore, any extended
remarks from us in behalf OF the object, is
unnecessary Indeed. it woud seem that the

TIE sHERMAN SCANDAL.

We called attention to III is matter in a previous
number Of the GAZETTE, and sald the exposure oi

ure of the Credit Mobnier bribe.ta The
matter is now more fully discussed in the New
York papers and it is said that the Hon. CHARLES
7. SHERMAN, brother of the Senator and the Gen.
erAl, and nov Judge OF the United States Dis
trict Court of Northern Ohio, has been actin. at
Washington as lobby agent, aud has been sell
ling his influence with his brother the Senator
and with the Hon. J. A. GARFIELD Of the House
at the rate Of $4,000 a time The testimony
which proves this tact is furnished by SHERMAN
himself. A letter was produced before the Com
mittee of Ways and Means on Saturday, written
to Mr.. LocKWooD in New York, and dated
Judges Rooms. L. s. Court Tor tie Northor
District Of Ohio, March q, 1872"
O.her facts have also been presented, showing
that Sherman demanded $40, 900 tor the services
referred to above. THIS testimony is based upon
q second letter Of Sherman'f, which has not yet
been produced, but which, We are tcld Is to be
laid before the committee.

some viennese Custo,ns.

The Vienncse seem to combine the
stolidity of the Germans with the vi
vacity of the French, making a very
happy combination of character.
When I first arrived l thought the
epizootic had prevailed here much
worse than at home, and that nearly
every man who owned a pair of horses
had lost one by the disorder, for near
ly all the single teams have u pole
from the center, the same az our
double teams, on one ride of which
the horse is hitched. But upon in
quiry found it was "custom of the
country" This seems TO me to he
very awkward and hard on the horses.
Burnham Brothers might perhaps
learn something to their advantage in
the way of watering the streets. In
some parts of the city the water is
pumped into the tank on the wagon
by two women swinging 4 lever with
a large iron ball at its lower end,
working double-acting pump. AZ
ter the tank is filled il takes two men
instead Of one to distribute the water
from the wagon. Instead OF having a
sprinkler Of about six feet in length,
with gate to shut Off the water OPP
Grated by lever, they have a hose,
| perhaps ten feet long, with round
headed sprinkler attached to the end
| of a rope about four ieet long tied
around the hose, with man swinging
~ .s..a GRO tho cart moves, thus re-
| curing two men to operate the ma
| chine, one to drive the pair of horses.
and one to swing the hose and sprink-
Ter. When the man swinging the hose
wishes to stop the water he simply
twists the hose and chokes it of. Cor.

A Good Dog Law.

Milton Briggs, Esq, of Kellogg, Ia,
who has had some experience in rails
ing sheep in this State, thinks he has
a better plan for protecting his sheep
from the ravages OF dogs than the
Legislature is likely to provide. He
seems to have freed himself from the
pest. He says, in the National Ltre
Stoch Journal:
By yarding my sheep at night inside
high picket fences. for six or eight
months. to secure them against the at
tacks Of dogs and wolves, that came
in great numbers and made the nights
hideous with their discordant music,
soon succeeded in clearing the sur
rounding country Of all wolves and
proving dogs, so that my sheep now
lie down in safety on any part of the
farm aud rest in peace and quiet. BY
the use of strychnine, find it an easy
matter to capture all the dogs and
wolves that come on my premises, and
with comparative little cost and
trouble. This mode of dealing with
the common enemy of the sheep,
find quite practicable, and need not be
attended with any danger to stock on
the farm. While farmers in all the
States are clamoring for protection to
sheep through the different State Leg
islatures, that source of protection has
proved failure and especially is this
the case in Iowa, where the dog own.
ers are in the majority.
In making wholesale slaughter of
dogs, do not find Unnecessary to make
any cladestinc war on the enemy, or
g, outside of my own fences ION the
CO utrary, ] warn all my neighbors of
the fact-that all dogs are in danger
that come into my fields. / find that
the best trained dogs, as well as the
prowling ours are occasionally night
wanderers, and soon become victims
of the fatal poison but this conceive
to b., the only practical mode of pro-
vidiing any security to the wool. grow-
ers of Iowa.

Some would think from reading

The above extract is from Exon
gresham Walden's Centerville Citi-
zen. 1t is a little funny how soon a
paper becomes "cend" when it de-
clines to do the bidding and lick the
dust from the feet of men who are de-
sirous of serving their country in Of
ticial positions. We condemned Con-
gresham Walden's action in the mat
ter OF his back pay, and our words
nave the hearty approval of both Re-
publicans and Democrats throughout
keokuk county. The term "venal,'
which the cxtinguished Congressman
applies to Ravens Netcs, means Job
tainable for money!" SHIELD for sale, .
etc. Now let us see the estimate which
he has placed on the press Of his dis.
trict, and this includes, Of course, the
price of the Citizen, of which he is The
proprietor. We presume that the av.
erage OF editors can claim no more
benefit from the school fund than our
self, taking children of the proper ag,
for the school room for the basis. I'm
der Mr.. Walden's donation from Uncl,
Sans pocket we arc to get the benefi
of Just four cents. We are perfect,

TIE MODOC WAR.
Say EnAMr1rcn

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20.
A dispatch from Yreka, dated Camp
Lava Bed, South Tulc Lake, MAY Is.
stated that Mason and Hasbrouck' 3
command had formed junction near
Jacks stronghold, and would in all
probability hem the Modocs in.
A second dispatch Of May 10th, con-
tradicted the former, and stated that
the junction had not been made ;
furthermore that the Modocs had es-
capped from their stronghold b., three
routes, both commands pursuing.
Nothing has been heard from Donald
McKay's Warm Spring warriors. The
latest news says the Modocs were en-
camped at Snow Mountains, twenty
miles south of Sorass Lake. Has
brouck started in that direction on the
10th, while Mason's command remain
ed at the lava bed. Mckay thinks
that Boston Charley was killed in the
last fight. 1t is thought that Mason
will find the Modocs this time. Kings
bury's force has been sent to reinforce
him.
