LONDON, May l5.-The report received
here on Thursday night in a dispatch
from Penzsnc that a Liverpool steamer
had gone ashore on PREACHER Island,
one Of the Sicily, was untrue. Blowing
off steam and whistling by the steamer,
which was passing during a fog, and the
firing Of gunboats which we're prsctic-
ing in the vicinity, gave rise to the re-
port.
A dispatch from Pessavar, Afghan.
istan, reports that place as having been
visited by a very destructive conaagra.
ton Half the city was laid waste. Al
one time the powder magazine was ia
peril, but the FIRE was stopped before

THR noe Law.

The dog Law" as it is called, creates
much indignation in some parts Of the
State, where dog meat is a greater lux
ury than mutton. 1t is all right to i'm
pose q double tax on the merchant and
q privilege tax on the forlorn and weary
foot peddler. on the hsrd-wOrkiug pho
togrspher, on the owner Of an express
cart, on the man who is q butcher by
calling, on insurance agents, and on va
rious other avocations and industrial
, pursuits, bat when q privilege tax OF
one dollar is demanded on each dog or
the scalp Of the canine, it is & great
piece of extortion, aud the Republican
party is already preparing an snti-dog
tax plank for its platform. and expects
70 make it float. Seriously speaking,
they have done all in their power to stir
up prejndiees among the more ignorant
classes on this account. The law orig
mated with farmers, who had suffered
great loss from the depredAtons
of sbeep-killing dogs. The intention was
to clean out the worthless ours, and in
promoting the raising Of sheep, to pro-
mote 8 better breed of dogs. The Law
cannot be repealed for two years, if ever,
and il the tax-eollectors do their duty,
the number Of worthless dogs will be
greatly diminished in that time ard con-
siderable revenue viii be derived from
those worth keeping. 1t is as easy to
raise a pig as a dog, and the meat OF the
former is preferable for All known uses.
The time has passed away, except in a
few mountainous neighborhoods, when
the people i've by hunting. and even
these are not the most prosperous. Woo
raising and pig raising viii pay better
than dog raising, but If the latter is such
s precious privilege, it must be worth
paying foI. especially IS so many Of the
owners pay no other tax, and never ex
pct 10, not even a polltax.
