To PROTECT SHEEP FROM Docs
Dogs do not always kill sheep because
they are hungry and want them for food,
else dog would kill one sheep, eat his
fill, and be satisfied for awhile; whereas,
a single dog will frequently kill twenty
sheep in q single night. They kiln sheep
to drink their blood, and they almost
invariably seize them by the throat and
open their jugular veins. They some
times take hold elsewhere, but 1t is only
to stop the sheep, and enable them to
reach the throat. Sheep may, therefore,
be effectually protected by collars armed
with spikes N. Z. Tribune.

THE INvALID---A PEN PICTURF

See her pallid countenance, but short time

She was always welcomed by her schoolmatss,
for her 1.-the form and pleasing disposition
carried cheerfulness into their ranks, Dill
gent, punctual and exemplary, obedient and
graceful at home, she won the hearts of all.
But, alas, we are sorroWed. Those rosy cheeks
and ruddy lips are blanched by Consumption.
The voice once so enchanting in laugh and
song IS feeble, husky and supplanted by hol-
low cough. Let US approach her couch gently
dnd take her hand. Do not sudder because
of the feeble and psssionless grasp. The hand
once so hearty and plump is emaciated and
shows bony outlines, while the cords and tor
tuous veins ara plainly mapped upon the sur
face. The pulse that bounded with repletion,
carrying vigor to the whole system, and i'm
parting life, beauty, vivacity, health and
strength, is delicate to the touch. The feeble
heart cannot propel the thin, seauty blood
with force. Must we lose her while vet in
her teens Companons and friends gather
around with words of cheer and consolation,
and depart with moistened eyes and silent
steps. Must we lose her Nol there is re-
lief We can stay this destroyer of our hap
piness and not suffer the loss of so bright
gem. Something more is required now than

It aIlays the irritable cough, improves the sp-
petite and digestion and sends healthy tingls

is getting clearer, and pleasant words are spo-
ken. The strength falters yet, but is gazing
Let US take her out in the warm sunshine. In
a short time she Will be ableto go without our
aid, cheerful girl. This delighted medicine
must be God-blessed. 1t is restoring health to

ton of who shall be Senator? On the

tually withdrawn, the vote standing
VIM B Washburn 151, Scattering
116. Governor Washburn was horn
In Winchendon, Mass, in 1920, and
graduated at Yale College in 1874.
He has given much of his attention
to manufacturing pursuits, having
been constantly connected with some
interest of this chatacter. In 1850
he was elected to the State Senate
and in 1854 he Was q member Of the
Lower House. After this he was
chosen President of the Greenfield
Bank, and represented his district
in the Thirty eighth Congress, and
reelected to the Thirty-ninth. In
1871he was chosen Governor of the
State, and has been reelected at each
succeeding election. While he can
not take rank with the class oflead-

of United States troops appeared on
the scene, removed the embargo
which had been laid upon the tele
graph by Baxter, and exercised 8 re-
straining influence upon both par
ties. Monday afternoon, a move
ment of U. S. troops begot the i'm
preston that they had been with
drawn, and the Baxter forces pro
ceeded to make demonstrations OF
an advance against the State House.
At the same time five hundred col
ored troops arrived by steamer to
support Baxter, when several acci-
dents occurred to delay movements.
Monday night the o. S. troops oc-
cupied a position between the belig-
Grants and drove back the pickets

They do not interfere to take sides
but only TO preserve peace.

LOCAL MATTERS.

Leading Business Houses
In the present ag0of commercial enterprise
when every city is, or ought to be, ready tc
establish through its local press, the extent oi
its trade and commercial resources, we fee
strongly actuated from jealous interest in
our oity's welfare to contribute our quota on
this important question. Fremont, with its
many characteristic advantages, is most as
suredly not what it might and ought to
be, yet we desire it should not be underesti-
mated, or alone judged upon every individu-
ais opinion. Hence we propose, from week
to week, under the above heading to faith
fully review the majority of our leading firms,
and furnish much reliable statistical and gen
eral information hitherto uneIplored-and, as
a consequences, little anticipated in the aggre-
gate by many of our most enthusiastic citi-
zsns. It is to be hoped our representative viii
invariably receive willing cooperation in the
matter, as it is just possible our experiment
may, in some degree, be productive of much
information highly calculated to afford ample
inducenent to others to come from distance
and cast in their lot with Us, that Fremont in
the future may rank creditably in the "maroh

with its balmy days, warm showers,
green fields and budding trees. But
with all this beauty and brightness
! comes work. The gardens must be
made, lawns cleared up, house
cleaning, painting, papering, white
washing, &c, to be done. For as
Nature awakens to new life and puts
on fresh livery, so we, naturally,
initiate her in this; and what more
fitting example could we follow than
hers
Now, such being the case, it is a
matter of the greatest Importance to
know how best to do this, and where
to procure the necessary materials of
the best quality, and at the same
time at the least cost. That ''the
best is tie cheapest in the end" is a
fact accepted and acknowledged by
all. First it is the best at the begin
ming, lasts longer, costs no more for
the labor to apply than poor mate
rials, and lastly, there is very little
difference in the first cost.
lam speaking now of paints in
particular. Do you want to paint
white? There is no better or cheap
er made than the Phoenix Brand of
Eckstein Hills q Co., for which 1
am special agent,
1t has now been tried in this city
and county for ten years, and neUer
for once, has it failed to give entire
satisfaction. And 1 do firmly be-
lieve and assert there is no better
lead made. For colored paints, for
cottages, &C., we have our own
colored paints, which, for durability
and cheapness, far excel all liquid or
chemical paints. They never fade or
peel, and retain their lustre for years
Zinc Paint, Graining Colors, Var.
nishes, and Brushes to use them, al
ways on hand, of the best quality,
and at the lowest price. So much
for paints.
Now, after painting, the smoky
walls must be papered and decorated:
whitewash wont do, it rubs off, and
soon looks as bad as ever. Ihave the
largest and best variety of Wall Pa
per ever brought to this city, which
must be sold at the lowest prices.
Now this is saying a good deal, butif
you think of papering, don't buy un-
til you look at my samples, and you
will be convinced that this statement
is true. But doyou ask where is this
place ? Where are such bargains to
be had ? And where only are the
best goods kept ? Why Where
else than at McCulloch's old and
reliable Drug Store! Established Sc
years ago ! Come and see.

Arkansas is just now involved in

distracted Louisiana, and the air is
full of trreatenings of civil war, and
the State echoing with the tramp of
armed men. The merits of the case
are, as nearly as we can judge, thus
Baxter was returned as Governor in
1872, Brooks appealed to the Legis-
lature which rejected his claim. Ap-
plication was then made to the Su-
preme Court of the State for writ
of quo warranto, to determine the
right of Baxter to the Office, but its
decision in the case of the Auditor
of State that the question was exclu-
siyely vested in the Legislature,
settled the matter SO far as that
court was concerned. Judge Nc
Clure had dissented from the deci-
sion. Meanwhile the County Cir
cult Court WAS appealed to, and
though the Supreme Court had af-
frmed its own want of jurisdiction,
the county court entertained the
suit. 1t appears also that an agree
ment had been entered into that the
case should not be taken up in the
absence of either party, but this
agreement was violated and a writ
Of custer issued, under which Brooks
having been sworn in by judge Nc.
Clure, took possession Of the State
House, and elected Baxter, who es-
tablished his headquarters in the
Anthony House, and gathered around
him a strong force, issued his pro-
clamalioD, declared martial law, and
took other steps to eject Brooks
from the State House. The danger

THE MERCHANT AND BANKER is
the name of a Commercial paper
which we find on our table this week.
It is published by the N. Y. Daily
BHIIetin Association, and is a paper
of more than ordinary interest. Its
market reports embrace the entire
range and are very full and complete
in detail. Its editorials evince a.
thorough acquaintance with finance,
not alone in its old-time, wcrn out
garb, but in the new and vital char
acter which the progress Of the age
has developed,and it is gratifying to
witness the ability with which it
handles contraction theorists and
alarmists. We shall be pleased to
place it upon our exchange list.
