has succeeded in obtaining credi; for S.

poses TO bring this matter before the Board
OF County Commissioners with view Of

have writ of mandamus issued from the
Supreme Court, compelling the Auditor Of
State and Treasurer to show cause why
they refuse 10 allow the county OF Leaven-

disappointment to the clerk and his deputy,

Csc OF our most prominent merchants
says he accidently offended his wife recent
ly. When he sat down to supper he noticed
that she looked weary, and he asked what
She had been doing. She said she should
think he could see. lie said he couldn't.
She said look al this room. He said that
he couldn't see az The room looked any diff
ierent than usual. Then the wife broke out
in tears and went away from the table with
her face buried in her calico apron. The
truth is that room had been thoroughly
cleaned that afternoon-the carpet taken up,
shaken, and put down again; all the paint
washed, and all that, and that stupid man
couldn't see the least change. What is the

One great advantage sheep have
over other stock is they need not TO
die of contagious diseases which
they contract. They get the scab or
footrot or something else, aud fun
checked it gets them In bad condi-
ton, and would ultimately, perhaps,
kill them But the very worst con-
tagiOus disease to which sheep are
subject gives the owner ample time
to treat the affected animals, aud
the diseases are generally of char
acter which yield rapidly to treat
ment. But man may have a lot OF
hogs and feed them hundreds OF
bushels of corn daily, and about the
time the bottom of the cribs are
neSred and he is thinking of selling.
some disease breaks out among them
no one Knows what it is or what
to do for it--one animal after anoth-
er, following in rapid succession. is
affected and the greater portion die.
We have known farmers to be we'll
nigh ruined by the appearance of a
contagious disease of this character.
Sheep are happily exempt from such
rapid and fearfukmortaiity. Besides
when q sheep dies-and thew do die
sometimes-its peIt is sufficient 10
pay for It's keeping from the Iasl
shearings to its death. 1t makes No
difference when It dies, or what kiIIs
] 1t, the sheep never dies in debt.
