How potent is this trait of the human mind.
The Bible refers to it and says: "Wcrc an an
gel to come down from heaven, yc would not be-
licvc." 1t is the cause of much injury. We
are disposed to doubt the sincerity of our best
friends; and so far is it INDUCED, that it often
leads to misanthropy.
This is particularly applicable 10 the virtues
of many truly valuable remedial agents, how
ever strong they may be endorsed.

judges said AGO." and passed Mr. Burbank
twice on the first heat, and both times he hol-
loed give way, which did, and that caused me
to come in third. On the second heat passed
MIR. Burbank and Mr., Payne both, and came in
ahead, which caused Mr.. Burbank to be dis
tanced, so was told, and that entitled me to
the pole side of the track again. Then we tried
the third heat, but Mr.. Payne pressed me as
close to the bank rs he could and hit my sulky,
which caused him tn draw out little. Then
Mr.. Payne and Mr. Burbank ran together, which
caused Mr. Burbanks sulky to cave under, and

4 Sun again we have the dog o. bai habits.
He, TOO, is a bad dog He may be kind to
tho children and allow them to pull his ears
or tail, as much as hey pleaee, and may DO
aplcasant companion aud even household
pet, but he kills sheep. That is his habit,
and he don't seem TO kill them 80 much for
the purpose Of procuring food, as for the fun
Ofit He mains or kills dozen in single
night. And, in most cases, he seeks com.
-PaHiOn or two Of his crime, snd together they
commit fearful dcpredations upon the accks.
Our lawmakers have attempted to reach
such cases. We believe our laws make the
owner responsible for the damage done, and
justify the killing Of the vicious dogs. But
all this does not prevent the evil nor restore
the dead sheep TO life. And then the
dogs are all taxed for the purpose Of raising
revenue; but this does not reach the case.
1t is like granting the rumseller license to
make criminals, and taxing the people to
build and support prisons, and maintain
criminal courts, made necessary by this
traffic. We tolerate the vicious dogs and
try to tax them to pay for their viciousncss.
This "don't pay" in either case. There
should be an additional law requiring every
man to feed his dog literally. he did so,
the dog would not acquire the habit Of kill.
ing sheep. 1t is the hungry dog that is
tempted to kin. And secondly, every vicious
dog should be "Iedt to the slaughter" whether
the master wills il or not.
In New Hampshire, there is heavy dog
tax which seems to imply that the dog is a
nuisance, any way. And at the Same time,
this animal is admitted to the state fair to
compete for the prizes with the noble ami
mails Of the farm yard. At the late fair at
Manchester, twenty-five dollars was paid on
the best showing for the dog, and ten dollars,
for the best pair of steers. ...
This subject calls for the serious consider
alton and judicious action of every citizen in
the state.

alive topics" are demanded by the read
ers of newspapers, in these days. Hence
we select our subject as above. Surely
"dogs" are a live topic, or at least, a livelS
subject sometimes. When the Watchdog
is let loose upon the burglar, or the sheep
killing dog finds his way into. the pasture
among the flock, lively times may always be
expected. Many Vermont farmers will ap.
preciate this idea, and be wrought up into
almost murderous state, by the remem.
brance of the depredations committed upon
their Aocks by canine ferocity. ....
But our subject is an extensive one
There are more than thirty varieties of dogs
Among these we find every grade of size,
color aud disposition. A less accurate
division of the race gives us the good dog
and bad dog Ofthe lattor class we propose
to speak, at this time. ..
The mad dog may be good in his better
days; may spring from good family and
be well connected, and still, if be is mad he
is decidedly bad dog. And as there is no
cure for this madness, there is but one way
to dispose of this animal viz. execute him,
as we do the murderer. for his own good,
and the good of society. Really. is it not
better for him "to be (executed) than not to
be?"
Again, the depraved dog that is snarling
growing, and biting at everybody he meets,
is bad dog. Such a dog has no rights
that good dogs and decent men are bound to
respect. The dog laws were never made to
protect him. He should not DO allowed to
wear a collar, nor to live among the children,
nor to stay indoors, nor out of doors, nor any
where else Our theory is, that this class Of
dogs should be required to pay heavy poll

As for the school question, l have not
doubt that in many places the Catholics
arc trying to get possession Of portion of
the funds and hope they may alwaysbe de-
feated 10 that attempt, but although such
"reliable city dailies" as the Boston Journal,
New York Times, and Harper's Weekly may
declare that the Ohio contest involves this
issue aud that the democratic party brought
the issue into the canvass, as the FARMER
claimed few weeks ago, see it in differ

have led the canvass Of the republicans in
Ohio so molly since Morton folded his bloody
shirt and came to Pennsylvania. These men
saw the folly OfbringiDg the Ghegan bill into the
canvass aud they have brought the currency
