making preparations ON IL large

Insane Asylum.

An effort is being made to induce
the Legislature to pass bill to pur-
chase the Salt Sulphur Springs, III
Monroe county, for an Insane Asy
lum. The same gentleman who of
fered the bill for the purchase OF the
Salt Sulphur, we believe offered en-
other bill that Normal Schools be
abolished, and the property sold. If
the Legislature is so insane as to abol-
ish the Normal Schools, the best
thing that can be done is to devote
Marshall College to the purposes OF
an Insane Asylum.

Mr.. Johnston arose to make a per

Wheeling Register an extract of a
CORE ,pondence from here containing
a statement rejecting upon his in
tegrity as a Democrat, involved in
a rumor that he and others had COM
bineI to prevent an election OF Scna
tor this session and thereby enable the
Governor to appoint a Senator pro
tsmpore The dispatch said that in
this event the Governor would resign
and johnson. as President of the
Senate, thereby became Governor,
and in consideration of his resigaa-
ton, johnson would appoint him
Senator. He denounced the whole
affair as wicked and evil designed
falsehood in every particular.
The matter created quite a spirited
discussion but very properly was sum-
marily disposed of and the balloting
commenced.

Baltimore and Ohio r. r., it is just
as accessible as Wheeling, no matter
where it is.
The Panhandle people in anticipa-
ton of the importance which the
location of the Capitol in their re-
mote corner will give them, are loud
and impudent in their demands
on the Treasury of the State. If
they make such demands now, what
will they do when they have the
Capitol right in their midst' Last
week they asked for the following
little items; $4,000, for a RailrOad
from Wheeling to Pittsburg, (where
Wheeling does most other shoppiug.)
$40, 900. for Bridge over Wheeling
creek $4,000 for another Bridge
over Wheeling creek $4,000 for a
Turnpike from MOundsville to the
Pennsylvania line. $4,000, fol a
Turnpike from Elm Grove to the
Pennsylvania line by the way of
Wheeling Creek.
In addition to all these things, the
annual expenses of the Penitentiary,
which are disbursed in the Pan-han-
die, and mostly 60 to Wheeling, are
about s25, 900, so it seems that the
Pan handle people are determined
that their little corner shall be the
"butt end" of the State, anyhow, or
ut least shall have the "butt end OF
the money that is appropriated.
They receive in appropriations for
the Penitentiary $50, 600 year, and
in addition to this modestly ask for
the small sum Of $780, wv, Ior
Bridges, Turnpikes, Raj roads &C. to
be expended in the most remote cor
ner of the State, and within an area
of less than one twentieth of the en-
tire area Of the State; at this rate
we might expect appropriations, if
made for the rest OF the State, in
proportion to the area, to swell TO the
magnificent sum Of about IS, 900, 600
a year.

Dog Law

A few days ago Mr.. Berkshire of
Monongalia, presented the petition OF
Col. James Evans and 149 other citi
zens of that county. asking for law
protecting sheep from dogs. THIS Is
a matter well worthy the attention
OF the Legislature. In all the States
there is an cutlery against the des-
truction of sheep by dogs. We no
tice that few nights ago, dogs des-
troyed 50 fine blooded sheep for a
gentleman in Virginia and this is on
" one Of thousands OF instances. 1t
is safe to say that there are millions
of dollars worth of sheep destroyed
annually in the United States, by
worse than worthless dogs.
During the year 1873, $40
sheep were killed and $4,000 injured
BY dogs in the State of Ohio. And
in other States, the evil Is just as
great in proportion.
This is an evil, which can be in a
great measure remedied by proper
legislation, aud We hope stringent
laws will be enacted on the subject.
Go through the country in any direc
ton, and while YOU may see at al
most every well kept farmhouse a
good dog which is kept chained or
clogged, you will also see at the shan
ties aud cabins. which look rs If the
inmates could scarcely get food for
themselves. from two to four and
sometimes six half starved ours lying
around which are compelled to get
their living in the ofial heap, or IN
the neighboring sheepfold.
There were in 1870 according to the
census, nearly 29,O00,OOO sheep in
the United States. Ohio had about
5000. 900; of these, one in every 20
was worried or killed by dogs; the
same rate through the United States
would show about 10000 sheep an
nuany destroyed by dogs.
In some parts Of the country when
are peculiarly adapted To Sheep-rais
ing. farmers are prevented from un-
dertaking to keep them on account OF
the dogs. We hope the Legislature
will lose no time in legisla;ing on
this important subject.
