1t was the lagest, most earnest and

Henry is certainly our banner county

earnest, persistent people who lead it.
A series of resolutions were sent into
the convention FROM the grapGaEs,
bearing on the question of temperance.
They were accepted and ordered to be

strong link was welded between

The Montgomery journal, which
makes the above discouraging statement
CONGO ming the colored laborers, says
thai Mr.. John c. Cullman, who has been
engaged for two years past IN bringing
German settlers from the W est TO Ala
hama. has located over 100 families near
Florence and Tuscumbia. who have gone
10 farming; and last year, while the ma
tives Of that section only raised about
fifteen bushels OF wheat TO the acre, these
Germans, by fertiiizing. produced from
twenty-five to thirty two bushels OF the
same grain to theacre. 1 he Journal adds:
Mr.. Cullman would have settled many
more families 10 that section, but the land
owners. as soon as they found these settlers
prospecting, and others wanting lands, ad-
vanced the price Of their lands from Sd to
s25 and $50 per acre, and consequently
Mr. Cullman, with his next colony aud I4U
families settled thirty-tAgo miles south OF

Corn and Hogs.

Below we give some statistics taken
from the columns of our exchanges. We
publish It, as 1t possesses the merit of be-
ing at least a guide for making caicula-
tioas. How near the figures given are
correct, we are unable 10 say. The opin-
ion of our readers on this subject would be
very acceptable. Who will respond
: Every producer and intelligent farmer
understands perfectly, and acts continu-
ally upon the fact thst one bushel of corn
properly fed, and with good care for the
hogs, will make ten pounds of gross pork
From this admitted fact we deduce the
following:
Corn fed out at 121 cents per bushel will
fatten hogs at It cents per pound
gross.
Corn fed out at 20 cents per bushef
will fatten hogs at 2 cents per pound
gross.
Corn fed out at 25 cents per bushel
will fatten hogs at q cents per pound
gross.

The following gossiPping chat On the
subject Of the New York fashions may III
terest some of our fair readers;
Popular fashion-the fashion that IS
picked up and insisted upon by extrava-
giant dress-makers and milliners, which Is
chiefly copied by shop girls, and points
1he moral Of thousands of economical and
denunciary paragraphs Is now furnished
almost wholly BY dramatists and actresses
upon the stage. There is no leading au-
thority in society either here or abroad.
All the more recent fashions have first
appeared upon the stage, and, as conse-
quence, they are pronounced daring,
snowy, though sometimes dangerously be
coming to beautiful women. But the
more thoughtful and intelligent class hest
tate more and more in copying these
styles. The members OF it begin 10 have
ideals as well as ideas. Insensibly they
adopt kind of dress which harmonizes
with their newly awakened sensibilities
and aspirations.
The wardrobes of prominent actresses
now of themselves cost fortune. They
IRE no longer composed Of gauze and tin
sci, but Of the richest silk, real lace and
magnificent jewels. Six entirely new
dresses worn by an actress in Il single play
the other night, were imported from Paris
at cost of ten thousand dollars, exclu-
,jve Of the splendid diamonds and other
ag;e ~eries. All these dresses were re-
Jar lie and complete as works of art,
md be copied by women with more
uoa than brains, but they would no
more be desired for herself by an intelligent
woman than she would wish to exchange
her cosy, but more sober home, for the
painted prettiness of the French stage
cottage and its elaborate gilt furnishing.
Perhaps some lady readers may like TO
know of what these six dresses were COM
posed, so without goinginto details, which
would be necessarily complicated and con-
fusing, | will indicate their general style
and description OF fabric. One was Of
rich blue silk in two shades, trimmed
with a darker shade of velvet than either.
and white lace. Another was a white
cashmere wrapper% heavily embroidered,
lined with quilted silk and trimmed pro
fusely with white guipure lace. A third
was of black velveg, trained skirt and
basque, the latter embroidered with silk
and fine Jet, and finished with a black
fraise, lined with white A fourth was
ball dress OF black Brussels net and coral
colored silk, trimmed with black lace and
garlands of pomegranate blossoms, with
green leaves 4 fifth was a Summer
dress of ecru pongee and blue crep, the
pongee trimmed with scarfs of black silk,
laid in fold, and ecru lace; straw hat,
turned up aud trimmed with blue silk folds
and pipings, blue and ecru feathers. Sixth,
of travelling dress in two shades of brown
rigegue, the lighter shade employed for
skirt and sleeveless coat, the darker shade
for sleeved waistcoat, cut long and straight
across the front, and fastened with lighr
silk buttons, embroidered in the darker
shade. Both shades were put together in
trimming upon the shirt and sleeves

sheep W. Dogs.

We find the following timely article in
the Commerce Dispatch recently:
Endeavoriug TO show that sheep raising
would form a material source OF wealth to
our agriculturists were it not for the large
number of worthless cur-dogs who are al
lowed to range ut large ana destroy our
sheep. This constant source OF annoyance
alone has prevented many farmers from
engaging in this lucrative branch of hus
bandgy. Some persons we know of, have
lost from thirty to fifty per cent. during
the past season. This can be remedied
TO great extent If stringent dog law
could be adopted, and we hope it Will re-
ceive, as it deserves, full share of atten-
ton by our legislature. There is needed
n law 20 protect the owners of sheep from
losses by the depredations of dogs. No
man OF information and understanding
doubts il. Let the general assembly pass
a law taxing the owner of every dog in
the State, say perhaps 500 per head, the
amount OF tax per head TO be based ON
st tistics giving the annual average loss
from dogs, and the amount of tax in the
aggregate necessary to cover it.
Let this constitute a fund out of which
sheep owners can be reimbursed, whenev-
or they suffer loss from dogs, on necessary
proof being made before the proper au-
thorities that such owner Is really and
justly entitled tor enumeration. Further
more, let such dog-tax be rigidly collect
cd or ia default of its non payment, let
any property be taken for the satisfaction
OF the tax, a Is now provided by law in
case of uou-p1yment OF other taxes. The
plain truth IS, that this dog matter has got
u be 81 serious evil, and detrimental to
the sheep industry of the State, which is
Of vastly more consequence than the
hordes OF worthless dogs now in existence.
There would be no injustice done by the
enactment 1T such a law TO the owners of
what few really valuable dogs there may
be, rs light tax would not be felt in
comparison 10 the services Of a really good
dog Also such law would tend to re-
duce the number of dogs IN the State, as
the owners of most of the worthless dogs
would prefer 70 kill them to paying tax
on them ii they knew that tax would be
rigldly collected, consequently the num-
Der of dogs being reduced, the probable
damages done by the remainder would be
preporGonally lessened, and therefore
would NOT require SO large fund to pay
for such damages. We would remark,
that AS our law stands at present, there Is
virtually 10 protection 10 owners OF sheep
from the ravages of such dogs. as il is
necessary to detect the dog in killing or
manning your sheep, before YOU can come
on the owner OF the dog for damages, and
We all know how slim that chance
IS.
Will not the grangers throughout the
State take action in this matter aud by
general expression throughout the STATE,
awaken our legislators TO the necessity of
doing something efectual for our protec-
ton
