There seems some probability that Mr.. G
D. Townsend, the artist, may within few
years become the American Landseer, at least
in that department. of art dealing with that
second roslest of animals, the dog. Several
fine examples of his treatment ofhis noble
subject will be in the recollection Ct many
of our Enthusiastically some ofthe pictures
made for the Aldine and at least one bear
ing the reputation of being finer than
anything of the kind produced by the great
English painters. 1t is the head of the dog
which Mr.. Townsend seems to have the ex-
ceptional mission to portray-in that par
,icuar assuming the same position, as COM
pared with ordinary painters of the dog,
that is held by distinguished portrai pal Mt
ers in contra distinction to those dealing
with the full figure of man. Perhaps the
very finest thing he has yet done, is shown
in the chrome, "Man's Unselfsh friend"
forming the annual premium offered by the
THE Atdane, and now just being supplied to
those entitled to it. The very nobility of
doghood is shown in this fine head and
bust, those Of a Newfoundland, with per
haps a shade Of sofening cross with the
great st. Bernard, atfording subject quite
as capable of being loved as of loving.
How grand is the whole pose! how more
than human are those eyes, full of a fixed
and loving attention! how perfect is the
silken gloss of that muzzle, with the clear
nostrils, the tip of soft red tongue, and the
h,pt nF I'm ~
tear as we'll as defend, beneath it How
gracefully fall those fine velvet ears how
thoughtfully corrugates the noble brow that
might lie thinking out Il problem instead
Of merely waiting the welcome commands
of a master How tasefully, and yet how
naturally, is the neck encircled by that
creamy, curled fleece, from which the head
rises as proudly yet unconseiously as the
daintest lady from her ruff! How perfect,
T, in short, are all the details of this admirabe
picture the mere possession of which in
any house, will be quite equal in effect to
long sermon by the most renowned p,o-
fessor, a.ainst cruelty to animals. and much
more lasting than one of the approximations
of Mr.. Bergh The Ald5ae does well,
both for i.s own prosperity and the good
of lis patrons, IN executing aud Offering so
exceptionally excellent chrome to the
patrons OF It's series for 1875; ana as we
have already remarked, Mr.. Tow ascend, the
artist, in it makes rapid strides toward the
head ofliving artists in that class Of declina-
tiou.

About Postage.

Congress last session passed law which
takes effect January 1st, making it obliga-
tory upon al publishers. to pay postage in
advance upon all matter deposited in post
offices. Heretofore subscribers paid the
postage on their magazines aud newspapers
when they received them. Hereafter when
forwarding their subscriptions they will be
required to remit an amount sufficient also
to cover the postage. The Post-Ofice News
Room will receive subscriptions on same
terms as last year, to all the newspapers and
magazines for which it has the agency, add
ing thereto 80 cents for postage on dailies !;
Is cents for weeklies; and cents fer post
age on monthlies, everything not to exceed
four ounces. Subscribers ordering their
papers through this agency, can therefore
make a handsome saving of money, as we'll
as the expense and trouble of renting their
money TO the publishers.

The sinking Saved.

The combination Of tonic, Alternative and
stimulating properties in Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, especially adapts that famous
specific to the cure of chronic forms of dis
ease when the strong Influence of long
protracted morbid habit is to be surmount-
ed. In chrouic dyspepsia, and liver COM
plant, and in chronic constipation and
other obstinate diseases, it is beyond al
comparison the best remedy that can be
taken As means Of res oring the strength
and vital energy of persons who are sink
ing under the facilitating effects of pain
full disorders, this standard vegetable in
vigorant is confessedly unequaled. The
permanent tonic5 included in the prepara-
ton are associated with diffusible stimu-
liant absolutely pure, and the tendency Of
these elements is modified by the presence
of Alternative ingredients slower in their OPP
Grafton and capable of producing more last
ing local and general effects. For feeble
and IN all phases Of debility
it is the best as well as the most agreeable
of restoratives.

WATERFOWL and Waterloo victorious
I'm the Supreme Court of the United
States

The Suit OF Gurdon Hewitt and others
against the city of Watertown, Theodore
Prentiss and others, was a bill in chancery
file1 to compel discovery of the names
and taxable property of all the tax pay
ers in this city in order 10 have all PERSONAL
~ subpoena ed into court aud decree en-
tered against every one and sell his pro-
perty regardless of exemption laws for the
payment Of his pre- rata share Of complai-
nant' judgments against the city on R. r.
bonds, amounting in this case to about
100000. The court held that the action
could not be maintained. In Hubbell VS.
Town Of Waterloo which was a proceeding
at law to have the Marshal ordered to levy
"a TAX to pay a judgment en- R. R. bonds
againsS the town it was also held that
courts have no power to make the order
sought, thereby overriding The case OF
We,ch VS. St Geaeveve 10 Am. Law Reg. 5l2
IN which such an Order was made by the
U. S. Circuit Court for the Dist. OF Missou-
r.
These two cases were srgued before the
U. S. Sunreme Court at Washington on the
l7'h ms. by E. Msriner, Esq. for The boud
holders, and by D. Hall Esq. for the city Of
Waterfowl and The iowa Of Waterloo, with
the result above stated.
The compaiot and fou adato1 of the
proceedings in both cases were that The
officers ia whom Was vested The power of
TAXATION resigned and The voters refused
to eect e.bers to Fill their places, so that
no wit OF MauLamus could be served.
But the highest tribunal in the land bas
now settled it IN every form liz which the
question Eau be presented that without an
express statute authorizing it--and there is
none in this ss,ate-the courts cannot ex-
ercise the poe0cr of tagdtion that it is not
a .1udic525 power, and that if for the want
OF officers, the writ OF mandamus cannot
be served boih the parties aad; the cou rts

The Constitutional 4 M endme MT.

The proposed amendment to our state
constitution limiting the amount ofindebted
ness OF counties, eilies, towns, villages, and
school districts y five per cent of the tax
able property, received very large znajori-
ty of the votes cast upon the subject.
Through earelessness in supplying tickets
the vote was very light one. Had the
attention OF all the voters been called to
the subject it would probably have re-
ceived much larger proportion of the
votes cast than it did. In this county but
one vote was cast against it.
