Sheen and Dogs.

The Gallatin Examiner thus
states the case: Sumner county
has in round numbers twenty
five thousand people, all Of
whom must be clothed in wool.
An old merchant Is our author
ity that it requires an average
Of ten yards, around, to clothe
the people, at fifty cents ayard.
This estimate requires 25O,GJO
yards, worth S125, OO0-just one
eighth Of a million OF dollars
being the sum we pay for the
luxury Of dogs. If we had 10
dogs, we would have sheep
having no sheep, comparatively,
we must dig in the ground for
that much money to be sent off
TO sheep-raising States for wool
en- goods to keep our backs
warm, for the quantity manu-
featured at home is mere song.
We make no account Of tie
value of the sheep as food which
would still further swell The
"dog tax" At future time,
we will further elaborate this
idea. Strange Inconsistency OF
folks! We groan over the tax
alton Of few thousands for
State and county purposes, and
chcerfulIy pay $4,000 and
more annually for the dear dog
without a 9runt!

The Broken Sword,

With Saturday night, terminated a
serious of representations of this excel
lent play, in which our local amateur
theatrical talent made quite successful
in public. The character
assigned to Miss F. Chance, Miss Hor-
ton, Miss Dean, and the Misses L. & N.
Bush-as also those impersonated by
Mr.. H. Stahl, A. f. Price, w. P. Tyler,
&C., were exceedinly well carried out,
and worthy of special mention. In fact
all did well, and the play willlOng be re-
membered with pleasureable recollection
by Fremonters generally.

Farmer try your seed corn. There
were millions of dollars lost, in 1873,
on account of unreliable seed corn being
planted. The consequence was that
corn had to bereplanted sometimes twice,
and the weeds got the start before corn
could be tended, and some nevee got
ripe in the fall as the frost caught it.
By all means try your seed corn, and be
certain it will grow before you plant.
The extreme cold of the past winter has,
no doubt, killed the germ of all corn not
husked very early in the fall; SO, farmer,
be sure you plant reliable seed corn.

finest store in the city-that of Wagner

improvements. During the past week
new glass doors were placed in the front,
each nearly 7ft. sft The two being
close together gives the house a very

that ere long the old fashioned windows
will be modernised by the insertion OF
plate glass. This is what we like to see

Patent Right Note Frauds---Signing
Contracts Which Prove to be Notes.

A trial of no little importance to farm
ers everywhere terminated at Defiance
in Common Pleas Court on the Doth,
Two men giving the names of N. P.
Gregory and B. B. Bonner, in May 1874,
called upon Andrew B. Root, a farmer
in Adams Township, as agents for r. r.
Fenner & Co., of Urbana, H., selling
''the right to buy plows with Fenner's
improvement" of the Hamilton Plow
Company, Hamilton, Ohio. A contract
was drawn and signed by Mr.. Root, as
he states, in duplicate, and nothing more
was heard of the matter by him until
Fall, when he was called upon by one
Joseph e. Harmon, of Xenia, for the
payment of q note of $500 bearing his
signature. He denied the legitimate ex-
istence of such a note, and suit was
brought for its collection. The case was
fully presented by both parties, Mr. II.
claiming to have purchased the note OF
Francis Tiernan, of Springfield, general
agent for the pillow in Ohio, paying him
therefor 80 cents on the dollar. After
an hours consultation the jury decided
the case in favor of the defendant.
1t is here understood that number OF
such notes exist against farmers in the
adjoining Counties and more distant
parts of the State, and suits have been
commenced for the collection of some OF
these, the samo defense has been set up.

the consideration was a patent cornshell.

Rather CrOwding Things.

Some house representing a popular
boys book, in the east, wanted an agent
in Fremont, and with sagacity peculiar
to book canyassers, hit on a lively youth
in our city holding a position in an
important public Office. To him were
sent bills, circulars, with instructions to
hang up and distribute. Though the
Fremont youth is good ON the "distri-
butte" he thought this rather crowding
things, as the duties thus imposed were
somewhat repugnant to his sensitive
feelings, and when interrogated on the
subject ''its kind o. good to watch his
phiz-and note the warmer feelings riz.

Something New.

We have this week to congratulate
Mr.. J. P. Moore on having secured a
patent on brace buggy top, which holds
the tops of closed buggy in any posi-
ton desired without in the least wrink
ling the tops. It is simple but effec-
tive contrivance and we have no doubt
it will become very popular. Neighbol
Moore is always ready to secure the
latest ideas out, and this is only another
evidence of his accustomed enterprise.
He has buggy on exhibition, with the
improvement attached, which is well
worth seeing.

few words on the invaluable qualities of
