DESTRUCTION OF suEEF.-From the last
Monthly Report of the Department of Agri-
culture we learn that, during the past year,
out of ls5. 257 sheep reported in twenty couu-
ties of West Virginia, ESQ. or orcr one and
u halfper cent. of them, were killed by dogs.
How many more were no: raised on account
of the danger attending from this cause. does
not appear, but it is safe to say the number is
immense. Let US dispense with the dogs,
and raise more sheep.

DIED PROM ExPosuRE.-Au aged colored
woman, named Strother. was found one morn
ing last week in the woods west of town. in
an insensibls and almost frozen condition, by
some children on their way to school. She
attended colored meeting some distance from
home the night before, and while on her home
ward return she perhaps became lost as well
as exhausted. and took shelter in the woods
for the rest of the night, which was bitter
cold. After she was found she was carried to
her home, where she died the next day.

@ Now that cold dreary winter is at our
doors, and the chilling blasts penetrate our
garments, We would call the attention of our
readers, aud those suffering from want and
distress. to the splendid opportunities offered
all by the Texas Gift Concert Association
located at the city of DeniEon, Texas. BY
the purchase of Ticket for the small sum of
81 any one may at an early day, be lifted
from poverty to nflnence. At all events the
Investment of the paltry sum of 81 gives every
purchaser of Ticket chance to draw prize
in cash or real estate that may make them
comfortable for the rest Of their lives.
