The Monthly report OF the Department
of Agriculture for January, devotes sever
al pages TO reports of investigations of the
losses to sheep owners from dogs. The di-
rect losses reach a million of dollars an
nually in wool and mutton, and, Indirect
ly, even larger sum, in the repression of
sheep husbaudry, and the consequent
waste of a large percentage of the annual
grass crop.
In the stock returns for January, 500
counties, representing about one-lourth the
territory and one-fourth the sheep of the
United States, report 70, 2Sj sheep killed dur
ing the past year. Ofcourse all the sheep kill
ed were not reported. II lis evident that the
real loss to sheep owners ION the ravages Of
dogs is not less than q million of dollars
annually. In some OF tue States the loss is
from four 20 eleven per cent. of the whole
value of the sheep kept. In Massachusetts,
with an efficient dog law, the per cent. Of
loss is comparatively small, and yet II Is
much too great. In Vermont and New
Hampshire, public sentiment seems to DO
the strongest safeguard against sheep kill
| ing by dogs. A dog suspected against sheep
killing, in those States, would need the
sympathy of more than one Society for the
protection of Dumb Animals to save him
| from an abrupt shortening of his existence.
AS we write tho above, we have just re-
ceived information OF a destructive raid up
on the flock Of one of our Vermont breed
ers. Mcssrs. ii. V. Burr & Son, of Thet-
ford, who had just turned out to pasture
fine flock of ilty-eght sheep, were visited
by dogs few nights since, aud bad their
whole flock almost entirely destroyed {.
Twenty-Five were killed outright, and elev-
Ell wounded, seventeen are missing, and
only five remain uninjured. AS our cor
respondent says the dogs were known, it
is not too IN lch to suppose that, before this
time, they have "passed in their checks
TO use an expressive term-and ceased any
further operations in that line. Does ii
pay farmers to raise sheep for dog fodder

HEAVY DEFALCATIoN BY PROMINENT
Boston LAwYER.-Abraham Jackson,
Boston lawyer, who stood high in public
esteem, has turned up deiaulter aud run
away. lie held large amounts of trust
funds. which cannot he found, and has in-
VOWED many, who placed unlimited con-
tidence III him, for large amounts. A re-
tired merchant loses $50, 600 " him, and in
one Instance s24 900, placed in his hands as
trustee, is gone. He swindled right and
left, and his operations have been carried
on Tor several years. In several cases
families have lost about every thing they
possessed, and, taken all in all, ii is one Of
the very worst cases of swindling ever
known in Boston. The more the defalca-
ton is investigated, the worse ii looks and
the losses are now reported at 100000.
MIR. Jackson was the last man who would
he suspected of dishonesty or irregularity.
"As honest as Abraham Jackson" was a
frequent expression among certain class
of men. lie was man of the cd school,
aud had an appearance of transacting his
business with the utmost care and caution.
Trusts were placed in his hands without
question aud he was c Insidered as safe as
an Old-established bank. He was a
Plymouth man by birth, graduate OF
Harvard, aud stood prominent as mem
bor of the Suffolk bar. He is about 60
years OF age, was never married, was ex-
ceedngly simple in his habits, economical,
temperate, and frugal in his style of living,
was urbane, and bore the polish of staid
old Boston gentleman. He was an excel
lent advocate, and has pleaded with much
success in the Suffolk County Courts; but
he seemed to prefer Office business. The
first indications Of an irregularity were no.
tced but few weeks since.
The latest accounts put the amount OF
Jackson's deIalcatons at 100000. Jack
son is reported to be in Vermont, but it is
more generally believed that he is on his
way 10 Europe. M steps have been tax
en- towards his arrest.

"A dispatch to the London Times from
Vienna, Austria, says that dreadful acci-
dent has occurred on the river Muir at the
town of Judenburg, province of Tyrol. A
ferry boat, having on board a number of
Catholic pilgrims ON the way to visit the
shrines on the other side of the Muir from
Judenburg. sank in the middle of the

known to have been saved, but seventy
six are missing, all of whom are believed
to have been drowned.
