the editor of the Rtptlbiieaa calls those farmers
who have sense enough TO see the folly of at

the labor union or know kno;hing party, in.
stead Of basingit on a..platfom so broad as to
strike at every grade and class ofmonopolists
and corrupIionists who are banded together to
rob the producing classes. Happily, how.
ever, the simple minded farmers" are get
ting a little too numerous for the comfort OF
the supporters and apologists Of the iron,
steel, salt, lumber, and credit mobilicr thieves.
Assembled in state convention at Springfield,

portant falling off in the importation of dry
goods this season, remarking;
"The importations for the first two months
# the year are but $26000,OO0 against S33.

reduction of S4,30O,0O0. The decline has
been most important in manufactures of cot

wooden and worsted goods, the decrease is
about 100000 and in silk manufactures
about an equal amount The amount Of all
kinds of goods placed in bonded warehouse
is $4,000 more than last year, while the
amount withdrawn from warehouse is $1OO,-
GOO more than then: the warehousing move
ment, therefore, considering the diminished
impOrtations, indicates somewhat less active
marketing of goods than last year, fact
which is to be accounted for because Of the

| For some time large black wolf has been seen
about at different places in the town of Rutland
in this county and has committed several depre.
dations upon sheep, chickens, geese, turkeys
ducks and other poultry, He not only made free
with all such game, but attacked pigs, and in
one instance seized yearing calf at Mr.. Groves
boy hearing the cattle bellering," and seeing
them to he in an excited state, went among them
and saw the wolf, still hold of the calf and trying
to drag II away. It loosed its hold upon the calls
throat and ran away. Mr. Groves summoned his
neighbors and a hunt was organized. The young
fellows all turned out with their fox hounds.
The Kleber, Parr and Milliken dogs were on
hand, and Mr. Clarks new hound, said to be
something superlatiye in the way Of a fox dog.
There were 80 or 40 horsmen ont, and the riders
rode catch upsaddles, being anything that could
10 improvised into such. One rider impressed
into service an old horse, blind, lame, deaf dumb,
spring halted and generally gone up. The poor
then c:lmly went dead Who the rider was our
informant fails to state. The law about cruelty
to animals ought to be set upon the chap who
rode that horse.
The wolf was started and ran all day. He ran
through the townships of Dayton, Freedom,
Earl and thence beyond the county line, where
the dogs lost his trail, and he escaped. The
hounds and hunters followed the fugitive wolf
about 90 miles that day before giving him up.
That wolf still lives.
