From the above it appears that Tay

From the above it appears that Tay-
lor's majority in the county is 70, a
gain, over two years ago,of 1875 for the
Republicans, which does pretty well,
and that Gray has but 81 maj ority--
34S less than Mr.. Kings last year
while Mr.. Coates is elected by 185 ina
iority, or six less than last year. The
falling off of Mr.. Coates majority was
owing to the tremendous work done
against him in Moscow, on account OF
his having, as a member of the County
Board, favored the Court House i'm
provements and the building of the
new jail; but time will make that all
right.
A report from Pulaski, received
Thursday morning, says that Gray's
majority is but SO instead of l26, as
given above, and it is also reported
that his majority in Clyde is 80, in
stead Of 81, IF these reports should
prove correct, it will be seen, the vote
for Assemblyman in this district would
be Tie, and the official canvass is
therefore awaited with great interest,
as it may possibly show majority for
Bennett, though that would be almost
too good to hope for now.

Why is itq

We often hear the remark that, IN
this State we have an insect for every
thing that grows, and that there is not
country, on the face of the globe,
with so many insects as ours. Now we
are not going to admit that this is an
entirely truthful statement of fact
but we do admit that there is some
foundation for the statement, that we
have more insects than we should have,
and more than we would have if we
wero wise.
There is a cause for everything. This
is proposition that no one will dis
pute. Now why is it that crops have
so many enemies? Almost anything
that will grow in any country viii
grow and do well here, if not destroyed
by insects. Now we undertake to es-
tablish the proposition that we are not
entirely blameless; that we are, to
very great degree, responsible for our
own misfortunes. Instead of protect
ing the birds, we allow lot of lazy,
worthless, good-for-nothing fellows to
prowl around over the country with
their dogs and guns, shooting down
and slaughtering by wholesale, merely
for the sport gift, the defenceless birds.
We desire to enter our most earnest
protest against such an unwisc course.
We are firmly convinced that the birds
are the farmers best friends, and we
hope that the farmers of our land will
not be long in coming to the same con-
clusion.
Black birds give the farmers good
deal of trouble in the spring, during
complaining time, but it is very un-
wise to kill them. The insects that
they win destroy, during the growing
season will repay the farmer, many
times over, for the few hills Of corn
that they pull up. Prairie chickens
eat a good deal of corn in the fall of
the year, bat they are deadly enemies
to grasshoppers and nearly all other
kinds of insects, and if the balance was
struck at the end of the season, it
would be found that they too are the
farmers friends and ought to be pro-
tected. But if there is any bird that,
more than any other, deserves our
protection, it is the quail and we adj
wise our former friends to prosecute,
to the full extent of the law, any scamp
that is caught shooting them. They
are the only birds known to destroy
chinch bugs, and we are all satisfied
that the only thing that saved our crops
from destruction by these bugs this
year, is the abundant rains that we
have had during the entire growing
season. Finally, if you ever expect to
be delivered from the insect plague,
