sheep, Dogs nnd Bells.

The effect of bells in preventing damage to
sheep by dogs has been well proved in this
vicinity the past season. OF fourteen focks
without bells but one escaped; in five flocks
with bells ON each sheep no damage was done.
Mr.. D. Fowler, Middleton, had flock par
italy beled, and lost but one sheep, which
strayed into another lot, was without bell,
and was killed. Mr.. A. r. Coe bought a
flock and put in lot adjoining the former,
and soon found two dogs at work on the
forty-fifth sheep. The dogs belonged within a
quarter of mile, and passed Mr.. Fowler's
sheep in getting into Mr.. Goes flock. Dogs,
after getting the taste of the taste of blood
of unbelled sheep, may attack sEeep with
bells on; yet believe if all sheep were belled,
trouble from dogs would be very rare. The
great difficulty has been to get bells which
which did not wear the strap of. Bells with
shanks to penetrate the strap will wear it of
in few weeks. have found bells OF all
sizes, made by Bevins Brothers, of East
Hampton, Ct, cast with staples for the strar
to pass through, which move on the strap
and all the wear does not come on one place
the strap can be drawn out to oil. To be
safe, every sheep and lamb should wear ;

DIR. T. c. Hoover, of Bellaire, Ohio, in
the American Journal Of the Medical Scr
ences. relates his successful treatment of this
curious disease, so battling to the profession.
The first patient was lady who had fit of
sneezing which lasted several hours. She
also had a slight cough, and suffered much at
times from difficulty OF breathing. The doc,
tor made the following solution: Chlorate OF
potash 20 grains, sulphate of morphia A
grains, pure water 2 fluid ounces; mix. He
used this solution by means of an atomizer.
Relief was instantaneous. Continued appli-
cation kept the patient well for five days.
Then the sneezing returned, AMI the doctor
ordered the use of the following solution
through the same instrument; Bromide Of
potassium one drachm, water two fluid
ounces. This also stopped the paroxysms.
She was ordered to use these preparations
alternately, from to 10 inhalations three
times daily, or about one drachm. She con-
tinued to improve till she discarded the spray
being entirely well. Several other cases wert
similarly cured, some in short time.

From careful experiments, Mr.. Mechi dis
covered that plants slightly watered every
day often perish, and always become dwarfedl;
whereas good soaking, given twice week,
almost invariably proved beneficial. He says:

much better than the same amount Of water

If you ever notice a boy in cigar store
buying a pipe, watch him; there's fun in it.
With all the impetuousness of youth he at
tacks the meerschaum first. Like connois-
seur he views and handles them, passing
comment on them and criticising their faults
with no sparing hand. Next come the brier-
woods. None of them suit his epicurean
taste; but this fact does not appear until the
whole stock has undergone his scrutiny. So

Editor Democratic Press.
What can your party do with its
victory? Can it hold and increase
them in the future2 Millions Of
minds are now pondering these que
ries and stand psering anxiously into
the future to d@scry the answer. All
agrees that the era presents a grand
opportunity to the Democracy of the
country, and apparently its head is
level to the situation. Thersfors it
will now take the most earnest heed
to the counsels of its wiseat and best
counsslors. The grand problem to be
solved is, how can the Democratic
party bind to itself and increGse its
present accession of voters
Honest superior rule alene will do
it. But the two great political parties
are on trial before the people of our
country; and the ORe that trusts in
all respects to the people, should, and
will be endorsed by them. And
though the Republican party 10 beaten,
it is not dead-nor will it easily give
up the ghost.
These parties will soon again mar
shall and measure their fOrces-will
be on the home stretch for popular
favor. Which bids the highest for it,
and means what it bidsS We shall
see. We think the logic of the re-
cent verdict of the people at the polls
lies as deep as the eVants and woes of
human nature. 1t came net of fore
cast crutiny or leadership. 1t came
not of the silent thought of the peO-
pie, to whom nothing of the past,
the present or probably the future is
ignored or lost sight of. Hence the
magnitude and hOpeiulnesS of the
change. Hopeful, because it proves
that men are net spe1-bound beyond
redemption to party behest. Hopeful,
because it proves that the people care
less and less for name or. party or
semblance of reforms shadoWsd in
platforms. They want s1sbStGnce.
They want political honesty aud strict
economy an the Gd1ninistsdtioR. Of

AbOnta thirty ministers were present

in more than the usual profit to those

performances the second evening was
much better than the frat. Those who
criticize the first performance SHOULD
remember, that the room wastoo dem
sely packed, and that considerably
.iless time was occupied III preparing
for the exhibition, than at any other
place. No effort can be appreciated
unless the audience is comfortably
seated. AT the first concert the room
was too crowded for comfort. 1t is TO
be regretted that. the Prof. did not
take the church. instead of the chapel
for hiS. concert.

SIasher says that the old saying that

aud now blessings brighten by the
amount paid for favorable mention

that we had such brilliant lights in

no idea that people who live in level

relative TO the formation of Chill

district previously formed at Alliance,
full particulars of which have already

missioner Sanford, of Portage county,
was made chairman, aud Commission
er Schillinger, of Mahoning, secretary.
The proceedings were not of great
Interest. Some Of4he Commissioners
favored the formation of a District,
while others were not positive that
one was needed. The Commissioners
present resolved, however, TO hold

TO invite the Commissioners OF Ashta-
bula to meet with them, for the fur
ther consideration of the subject. Mr..
Schillinger reported that there were

From the New York Sun. Ras -
The Rev. General James A. Gar
field, NJ. c., has been explaining to
the Correspondent Of q Western news
paper how it was that his constituents
came So nesr repudiating him in Oc-
tober. He says the lawyers attacked
him upon the very thing they are do
ing &lI the time-taking fees. He
might have added that opposition TO
the practice of C0ngressmen taking
fees from people who are enderVoring
to deplets the public treasury is not
peculiar to the legal fraternity. Gar
field is also reported as saying:
"Worked as am, there is no time be-
tween my wants and the public wants
to make fiue discriminatioBs." ; He
has been accused of that failing by
others, and the most respectable of his
show by their vOtea at
the late election that they wished TO
replace him by 8 Representative who
could find time to discriminate be-.
tween his own and the public needs.
