The Dog Shooting Case.

The New York Forest and Stream of July 9th
contains the following letter from Portland:
PORTLAND. Me-, June 20, 1874
Editor Forest and Stream:
Some time since you published the particu-
lars OF a brutal outrage in Connecticut, where
two valuable and highly bred setter dogs were
wantony shot by a person calling himself a
man. You gave at the time your personal con
domination of the act ia strong terms that
believe met the approval of every reader of
your paper as fully as they did mine.
wish to relate to you similar outrage here
in the hope that you will publish it, aud think
that by placing the often recurring brutalities
of this nature before the public you will in
time bring about some remedy. A gentleman
of this city owned two excellent dogs, each of
pure and valuable breed, and to each of
which himself and family were strongly at
tached. One was Newfoundland, the other
a Gordon setter, (whose father was a prize dog
at the Crystal Palace Exhibition in London
some two years ago, aud was poisoned by some
unknown scamp last spring.; last week the set
ter came home badly wounded, a rifle ball had
cut off the tip of his ear and passed through his
right shoulder, probably cIippling him for life,
even if he lives, which is still uncertain.
1t seems that the two dogs had strayed away
from home-a thing unusual with them-and
were seen in pasture in the neighbOring town.
some two or three miles away; afterwards two
dead goslingS We're discovered in the same pas
ture. The owner of the goslings upon hearing
il loaded his rifle and "went cunning" for The
dogs; he finally found them over mile away,
on another mau's property, and deliberately shot
the Newfoundland dog then loaded up again
and shot the setter, as he came back to look for
his piey
owner of the dogs offered a reward for the '.de-
lection of the scoundrel' VINO shot them, and
soon got information that led to detection; he
obtained a warrant for his arrest for "malicious
mischief placed it in the hands of an officer
and went out himself to find the right mamie
found bim-the man confessed and was appar-
entlyproud OF his butchery the owners patience
gave way and he thrashed the fellow sound.y.
The shooter was soon after arrested and was
brought before our Municipal Court. but mark
the result, he was discharged, the Court saying
there las "not probable cause to hold him for
trial because there was no proof he killed the
dog willfully and maliciously, and was justified
under our statute which says that a man "may
lawfully kill dog found worrying,
woundipg or killing any domestic animals
etc; in other words, that if a dog is suspected
of killing domestic ANIMAL he may be shot
at any time, or any where thereafter.
The verdict of the community is, that if own
ers of valuable dogs have no other protection
for their rights, they are justified in taking the
law into their own hands also, and Furnishing
those who destroy their property.

Current Notes,

According to Mr. Parkhurst, the tail of
Coggia's comet is about ten millions OF miles
long and seven millions of miles wide, and is
composed of so attenuated form OF carbon
that if sit were reduced to the same density
as the carbon we know, in the form OF Char
coal or coax, it would not exceed few ounc-
es, or might be carried in the waistcOat pock-
et." Doesn't that description coincide very
exactly with description OF one of the New
Parties incubated by the Chicago Times and
Tribune every week?-St. Louis GtO6e.
A prohibitionst, writing to the New York
Evening Post quotes letter from Mr.. w. /.
Johnston, late of Cork street, Dublin, now
in this city, in which he says that Portland,
with IS, 600 of a population, has not an open
liquor saloon-not one known to him after a
residence of seven years there. Now where
is the fellow who said there were five hundred
places where rum is sold in Portland; yet
from these statements statistics are made.

Our mahogany-colored friends in the West

The Noble Red Man.

To the Editor Of the Press:
In view of the pleasant reports which we are
now receiving from the poor and oppressed
s'Sons of the Wood of the amiabe manner
in which they express prejudices against
the whites by tying them to their own wagon
wheels and burning them, 1 call your attention
to a Geographic despatch which came to us III
due course some time ago.
Lone Wolf, war chief of the Kiowas, was
comparatively civilized until he lately heard of
the death of his son. He had an ambulance
and q pair of mules, and said he was trying to
live like white man. The son was killed
while raiding in Texas. Lone Wolf drew his
revolver, shot his mules, broke up his wagon,
piled it and his lodge on top of the mules, and
burned the pile He shaved one side of his
head, stuck black feather behind his ear and
started his followers on the war path.
How like romance it reads to learn that
Lone Wolf accepted civilization in the shape
of an ambulance and a pair of mules. No
doubt he stole them. 1t touchlngy suggests
the conscientious scruples of the converted Fiji
Chief, who, rather than continue to live in po-
lygamy, ate the three sweetest of his spouses.
His son, perhaps his only offspring, is ruth
lessly slaughtered by the barbarous whites " lille

ing cattle and horses, burning homesteads and
iomahawking and scalping the helpless inhab-
itants. Mark how the outraged and heart broken
old warrior expresses his righteous Indignation!
He shoots his mules makes a funeral pyre OF
his ambulance and house, and burns the whole
as a sacrifice to the spirit of the departed. His
| shavng one side eff his head is legitimate and
| proper expression of grief, but sticking black
feather behind his ear and gong on a scapng
raid is anything but a civilized method OF show
ing sorrow.

Tilton's Scandal.

'Burleigh'' the New York correspondent of
the Boston Journal writes in the issue of last
evening the following concerning the investiga-
ton called for by Mr. Beecher:
MRS. TILToN BEFORE THE COMMITTEE.
wrote you in one of my earlier letters that
Mr.. Beecher has put his hand to nothing that
he cannot vindicate. Also. that the so-caled
apology had no connection whatever with Til
tons family. This statement was copied into
the New York and BroOklyn PAGERS, with COM
ments more creditabe to my ingenuity than to
the facts in the case. The testimony given by
Mrs Tilton before the committee fully sustains
the accuracy of your correspondents statemen
This lady, who has been SO unfortunately and
Extensively connected with this matter mott fed
the committee, after its appointment, that she
was ready to testify to any matters relating to
herself and the pastor of Plymouth church.
She volunteered her testimony. She met the
committee at the house of a mutual friend
She exonerated Mr. Beecher from the slightest
shade of improperly, and gave full and en-
phatic denial to every scandal connected with
the name Of Henry Ward Beecher. Mrs Til.
ton would be believed anywhere. She is
small, 1.-the, energetic woman, of great decis-
ion of character and firmness. She is deyout
Christian, ardent, carrying her religious views
almost to ascet icism. In the Catholic church
she would have been recluse of the first or
der. She not only defends herself against all
improperly, but also her lifelong pastor from
the charge of even stepping over the line of the
strlctest proprety.
THE RESULT.
What the apology will amount to, where it
will strike and what it will develop, is secret
that those who know best refuse at present to
divulge. Persons who are supposed to be in
the full confidence of Mr.. Beecher and know
the whole matter, tell me that there is no such
letter in MIR. Beecher's handwriting as Mr. Til
ton has published. That Mr. Beecher author
lied friend to write a letter is admitted The
apology he never saw; and no such document
bears his sign manual. This, it is said, the
report of the committee will fully sustain
Another thing | believe is true: The money
quarrel between Tilton and Bowen was settled
on the advice of committee, of which Mr.
Mr. Clafiin was chairman. The agreement
was that the apology, all the papers touching
the scandal, with certain articles that Mr. Til
ton had in print, should be given up. The
apology, before it was handed over, was copied
and certified to by one of the jud ses of the Su-
preme Court, and this certified copy is the ar
tice that Mr.. Tilton retains This is the ex-
act state of the case as it now stands

THE Bangor Wing is diligently endeavoring
to provoke the PRESS into personal attack
upon Mr.. Hamlin-l result which the long
and faithful public service and high character
OF the venerable Senator will certainly pre-
vent. Our objections are to the operations
OF a set of federal office-holders, who propose
to make Mr.. Hamlin Senator whether it be
the wish of the Republicans Of Maine or not
The Wing suggests that the PRESS knows OF
federal office-holders perambulating the state
for Perham and Washburn; to which we re-
ply that we neither know any such thing,
nor have heard any such intimation except
the Why's vagu, conjecture made in the
dark. We are quite confident that no such
exhibition will be found in the canvass cf
either Perham, Washburn or Drummond
The Wing also enquiries in an equally vague
way about the action of employees of the
Portland Custom House, to which we reply
that we know of only one blatant aud OBJ
streperous Custom House man in the bust
ness. His name is Big Bill Smith, and he is
for Hamlin or, as he calls him in his delight
