Let the Dogs BE Taxed or Killed.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Is there not a great danger Of running this dog
question into the groundY Each day, as reported,
there are killed from five to ten times as many
mad dogs as this city really produces In year.
No doubt there are too many yagrant ours In our
streets, but 1t seems to this can be rem
eIied in simple manner. Let our City
Fathers enact and enforce law compel
ling the taking out OF license for
each and every dog kept, the license to be re-
pewed yearly. Fix the license fee at $40 or $40 per
head, and the time for issuing same say, May IN
each year. At the time OF issuing q license the
city to furnish the owner OF the dog metal plate
OF some KIND. which must, by the owner be At
tached TO q collar which must at all times be worn
by the dog. All dogs unlicensed at the end of
thirty days from the date nxed Tor issuing licenses
or found without the ''license badge" on their
neck after that time TO be seized and destroyed in
such manner AZ may BIO found most expeditions
no redemption after seizure TO be allowed.
Ihave given my IDEAS in perhaps crude way !:
but am confident some such law enacted and en-
forced would quickly nd our streets Of vagrant
ours, and hydrophoba panics would become things
OF the past y. @ y.

thieves demanded that the lady

During recent thunderstorm
near Kate's Lake, just below Quin-
cy, ILL.,, says the Herald Of that
city, a flash of lightning struck a
reaper in the field Of Peter Haynor,
knocking several men down and
badly stunning shem for a few mo-
ments, but fortunately without IN
juring any one. The horses attached
to the machine Immediately took
fright and dashed off across the
field, using up the reaper pretty
badly, which was about the extent

G. D. Powell, NJ. d., in the
Eisb farmers Gazette, describes
the cure ofa valuable horse by means
OF electra-puncture needles, from
four to six being inserted in the
principal muscle Of the fore-quarters,
also along the spine and hind-quar-
tiers. The battery employed was
that Of Leclanche, from four to
twelve large cells, alternating in
strenghth, and the current broken,
causing the muscles to contract per-
ceptitly. This was kept up from
two to three minutes at each place.
Prior to treatment, the animal was
in SO tad condition that the owner
was about to cause him to be shot.
But within six weeks after the COM
mencement of the electrical treat
ment, the horse was perfectly re-
stored, and is now sound and useful.
In the State ofOhio there resided
family consisting ofan old man Of
the name of Beaver, and his four
sons, all of whom were hard "pets,"
who had often laughed to scorn ad-
vice and entTeaties Of pious though
very excentrc minister, who resided
in the same town. 1t happened
that one of the boys was bitten by
a rattlesnake, and was expected to
die, when the minister was sent for
in great haste. On his arrival he
found the young man very penitent
and anxious to be prayed with.
The minister, calling on the family,
knelt down, and prayed in this wise;
20 Lord! we thank. Thee for rat
tlesnakes. We thank Thee because
rattlesLake las bit Jim. We pray
Thee send a rattlespake to bite John;
send one 10 bite Bill; sehd one to bite
Sam; and, 0 Lord, send the biggest
OF Thy rattlesuakes to bite the old
man; for nothing but rattlesnakes
will ever bring the Beaver family
to repentance.

day afternoon, passed the following mild
and charitable resolutio in regard to
Hon. G.. L. Thompson's violation of
his pledge:
WHEREAS, Charles F. Thompson,
Vice President of the Brodhead AL.
lance, is charged of having violated
the pledge of this Alliance, on tie
evening of Sept. 25, 1874, at Turner
Hall, Monroe; and in conside ra
ton Of MS not having publicly denied
the charge, be it therefore
Resolred, That his conduct on the
aforesaid occasion was unbecoming
that of Vice President of this AL
lance, and that he resign from the
office forthwith. And be it further
Resolued, That the Alliance hereby
express their condemnation of such
conduct on the part of Mr.. Thompson,
as a member and officer of this
society, and that we hereby repudiate
all assertions made by him or others
to the effect that we do not. maintain
a total abstinence pledge.
ResolUed, That the foregoing reso-
lutions be published in the Brodhead
Independent.
We think that when the Alliance
learns that Mr.. Thompson is proclaim
ing to the world that its members new
er had any intention of keeping its
pledge, but merely went into it as
political scheme for the purpose of
influencing local elections, we shall
hear from it again.

Noses M. Strong's Proposition

moses M. Strong'S Proposition.
We understand that some efforts are
being made to influence people to vote
against L. W. Joiner, our candidate
for State Senator, because he, as chair
man of the county board, refused to
accept the proposition of Moses M
Strong to procure a settlement of the
county bonds, to the advantage of the
county, in 1869. The facts in the case
are:
Mr.. Strong at the January meeting
of the board, 1859, submitted "a prop
osition to undertake to defend the
county in ,ine bond suits then institut-
ed. ..ud also, if possible. obtain for the
county security for the bonds from the
Mineral Point railroad compary,--he
to be paid for his services his necessary
expenses while conducting said suits
and negotiations, and if successful to
receive from the county the sum of
$4,000.
This propositi on was read to the
board, and argued before them by
MIR. Strong himself, but no member
was found to move its adoption. Mr..
Joiner was chairman of the board, and
consequently not in a position to make
such molten, even if he had been so
disposed, while Mr.. Mcfarland, in
whose behalf the matter is brought up
at this time.was member of the board,
present at the time, and could have
favored the proposition had he seen
fit. But the members of the board
were unanimous In their lack of con-
fdence in Mr.. Strong's proposition,
and if they then made mistake, which
we doubt not MIR. Strong thinks they
did, Mr.. Mcfarland was at least as re-
sponsible as Mr.. Joiner.

The railroads believe the Potter

IF to sue under this act is s'mockery

We think every man of intelligence

that the demagogues and politicians,
by whom it was put into the body OF
our laws, inflicted a blow alike upon
the railroads and upon the business in

take long time to recover.
The creatures to whom the state is in

be held accountable for the loss, DAM

ill-advised act.
