Enforce The Dog Laws.

Sheep raising is undoubtedly looking up
Wool brings satisfactory prices. Early
lambs are in brisk demand, and the market
would take great many more. We can
have mutton, at least in the winter. and
farmers look cheerful in view OF the profits
of the flock at the close of the year. The
pastures, where the sheep have been are
blooming with white clover, and the in
crease grassland the reduction of brush are
strong points in favor of sheep husbandrv
But the dogs still worry the hocks and kin
the sheep, Notwithstanding the legislation
against them. Some of the States have
good laws for the protection Of sheep. The
owners Of dogs have to pay license for
every cur they keep, and the money Goes
INTO a fund to pay tor the losses of sheep
owners made by dogs This is a great
security. 1t not only reduces the number
OF dogs, but pays for the damage they do.
W hat Is now most wanted is the strict en-
iorcement of the law where one exists.
Make every man pay for his dog, and
xii the unlicensed. Am. Agriculturst

GOOD SENsE.-When McCotter was hung at
Cambridge, Md, on Friday week, the Presi.
dent of the Dorchester & Delaware Railroad
trunnlng from Cambridge to Seaford) was i'm
poituned to run a special train, but he Aatlv
refused. He cOntended that it was repulsive
to public morals to make a public exhibition
OF such Fevalting scenes, and that he was not
willing to take any share Of responsibility in
feeding the morbid curiosity of community.
When informed that the people would 90 any,
how he said every well but they shall not
80 on nay responsible and railroad. No act
OF mine shall make the D. & D. r, R. Co.
responsible for getting up an excursion to see
a man hung !" All of which is decidedly
credltable to the good common sense of Pre,i.
dent Byrn. 1t is NOT right for the legal an
thorltles of any county to sentence man to
death and then make show" of the execu.

HISTORY OF a CHURCH NOW ON THE MOVE
About seven years ago a sect, called Congro.
gatOnallStS, built at Plymouth, near Canter-
bury, what has been known as the Plymouth
C0ngregatlOnaliSt Church, at an expense of
about 81 800. Much difficulty arose and
existed, owing to the land title. An acre of
land was promised them by DIR. s. +. Allen if
they would build the house upon it. After the
house was up the deed was called for. but the
Doctor refused to give it, having many excuses
Tor not fulfilling his agreement As the
greater part OF the membership were connected
with other denominations, when this trouble
began they went to their former placas of
worship. Thus weakened, the doors were
finally closed, and remained so until the
Baptists of Wyoming and vicinity formed an
organization, with d. B. Purinton as their
pastor. They rented the church for more than
a year, and then, owing to dispute claim for
rent, and not knowing to whom it Justly he.
lOnged, they abandoned it and about that
time it was sold at shsrif's sale to satisfy
mechanics lien. Since that time it has re.
malned unoccupied, save by owls and bats
Recently, however, it was purchased bv II. p.
Haynes for the small sum of $50. and II ia
understood that he and some five or six others
intend converting it into a cannery, and. from
what little we can learn, intend this wear to can
their own fruit, and, if successful, in after
years Will enlarge and buy in fruit Some
two weeks ago, Charles Morris, of Willow
Grove, moved the church from off its founta-
ton and into the road leading from White Hall
to Canterbury, and within few rods of it's
destination, where it still remains. Owing To
the late snow storm he was oblig ed to susnend
operations. ~ Dela,Uuredn.

IN trying to snicksr over the State debt,

Won't some child help its understanding
No, sir. You purposely misinterpret But
no portion of the debt is paid because the State
has money on deposit, and it is deceitful in YOU
to pretend that the debt is being liquidated at

THE LYON COUNTY TIMES

A REMARKABLE PAINTING.-A
gentleman of this city is the owner
of painting which is remarkable
both for its history and the superior
excellence of its execution. 1t is a
representation on hammered copper
of Belshazzar's Feast, and represents
the King at the head of his table at
the time the mysterious hand is
pointing to the inscription on the
wall, Meme, meme, tekel uphar-
SIM Seated around the table are
the guests of the King, including
Nebuchaduezzar and the Kings con-
cubines. Grouped around are the
en-at-arms, servants, ETC., and in
sort of balcony are seated the mu-
sicians. There are fifty-one human
figures in the painting; each one is
a perfect miniature; the jewels, even
to the pearl necklaces, clothing,
tapestry. and ornamentation are all
brought out in fine relief. The col
oring and perspective of the painting
are faultless, even the minutest de-
tail beng carefully considered. The
author of the wonderful painting is
unknown; but as rolled copper. was
not manufactured until 1850, it is
conjectured that the picture must
have been painted either in the lat
ter part of the seventeenth or the
fore part of the eighteenth century.
In any event, the painting must be
over 1875 years old A remarkable
peculiarly of the painting is the
successful grouping and delineation
of so many figures fitty-one in
the space of 24x34 inches, which is
the size of the painting. Some Ger
mans, who appear to be good judges
of works of art, accidentally saw
this painting. and after critically eX-
aiming it, and learning what Is
known of its history, offered the
owner 81, 800 cash down for it, and
agreed to take it to Europe and give
him one-half of the price for which
it might be sold. As work of art,
it is certainly, in our estimation, far
superior to the great painting Of
:. Samson and Delilah,' which was
sold at auction not long since for
5000 This magnificent picture
will doubtless, eventually, grace the
gallery of some of our wealthy
patrons of the fine arts.-.Sacramen-

A RACE OF MEN WITHOUT A
LANGUAGE.-On the Island of Bor-
neo has been found a race of crea-
lures, of which kindred varieties
have been discovered in the Phil
pine Islands, Terra del Fuego, and
in South America. They walk usu-
ally almost erect, on two legs, and
in that attitude measure about four
feet III height. They construct no
habitations, form no families, scarce
ly associate together, sleep in caves,
feed on snakes and vermin, on ant S
eggs, and on each other. They can
not be tanned or forced to any labor,
and are hunted and shot among the
trees like the great gorilla, of which
they are stunted copy. When
captured alive one finds with sur
prise that their uncouth .jabbering
sounds are like articulate language.
They turn up human face to gaze
at their captors, and females show
instincts of mOdesty. In fine, these
wretched beings are men and wo-
men.-Herald Of Health.

SOME matter of grave import is al
ways agitating the sober Gothamites.
Now they turn from the Brooklyn
scandal as from tale that is told,
and from the Havemeyer unhappi-
ness as from something that oughtn't
to be, to discuss the tyranny of the
commissioners in refusing perin,s-
sion to croquet players to occupy a
portion of Central Park as ground on
which to ply the bounding ball with
the irresistible mallet. The commits
sioners decline on high moral
grounds (Which grounds, however,
are not available for the playing OF
the game). They hold, possibly, that
croquet promotes coquettry, and
wickedness turks beside the wicket
