PROTECTING SHEEP writer in
the Farmers Home Journal says:
Il have kept flock of sheep several
years, varying from one to two
thousand head, and for the last eight
years have not lost sheep killed by
dogs. I keep my sheep yarded
nights; and from once in two weeks
to once month, I go at bedtime
and place around the outside of the
pen bits of meat containing strych-
nine, which I take up again early in
the morning. if not eaten in the night.
Result-immunity from dogs, and
an old we'll on the farm has received
a layer of dog and a layer of dirt
until it is about full. I have never
killed a man dog through malice,
or anywhere except on my own
premises and in protection of my
own property, and have not, to my
knowledge, received any injury in
retaliation for the death of any dog.
The plan is just and right, and every
fair-minded man must acknowledge
it. Every person in the vicinity
who chances to be the owner of a
dog, "strayed or stolen," concludes
at once that he has found resting
place in Cotton's old we'll, and will
never believe anything else. I never
report dogs buried before sunrise.

IN. Quad lately had hammock
suspended beneath the trees in the
ward of his stately residence on Fort
Street, Detroit. Subsequently after
getting his arm set and his head bound
up. he sat down and wrote A ham,
mock swung under the trees is nice
thing to rest in. 1t takes only four or
five men to hold it while you get In,
and in getting out you fall out.
The customary salution in Wash

THE Coop TURKEYS Do.-The
Hartford Courant says: cit is pref
ty well established that if there's
any bug especially disgusting the
turkey will look out for it. In the
California region last year the best
fields were saved from complete de-
struction by caterpillars by those
birds and now it has been found
out over in Rhode Island that the
potato bug is the favorite food Of
the turkey, and anourishment upon
which it fattens literally. No doubt,
if there should come along any 9TH
er pest to rival caterpillers and bee
ties, the turkey would devour that.
Certainly the bird has earned place
at our Thanksgiving tables. even if
these interesting developments as
to its development create a wonder
regarding the peculiar sweetness Of
its flesh"

SATURDAY, April %.
Special Report for the Register.
The Rev. Lscy, of Point Pleasant was
the preacher of the Episcopal Convoca-
ton this morning, and Rev. Hyland, of
Parkersburff this evening. The resolu-
tions on the subject of the formation OF
new diocese were adopted
Yesterday BY so large a
msiority were not permitted to rest in
ouietness. There was evidently on the
part of those who favored 'under all ex-
isting circumstances" Missionary juris-
diction strong desire to conciliate the
minority who stood OFT ior an indepen j
ent diocese and Mr.. Armstrong in u very
warm speech characterized the action OF
minority in refusing 70 accept any pro-
posed terms OF compromise, as stubborn
opposlt;on." The remark was evidently
directed more especially against the pres
idenL whom the speaker regarded as the
leader of the minority. hr. Lacy
also made very earnest and more d q
persuasive appeal for harmony OF feel
ing and action. The result was that the
second resolution-which you had in my
communication of yesterday-was re-
considered, and the following as SUBJ
stitute thereof, offered by Mr..
Bill, of your city, was adopted unani-
mously:
Resolued, That while We would ali pre-
fer diocesan organization, yet rather
than the division should fail we ask for
missionary jurisdiction. This was "Oil
on the troubled waters" as one, of the
speakers expressed 1t, and warm express
sions of thanks were given to Mr.. Bill for
having furnished the precious liquid.
Rev. Hyland was then added to the
committee to present the paper to the
Virginia Council.
In the afternoon a series of resolutions
on the death of Bishop Johns were
adopted by a standing vote. The Sec
rotary of the Convention was instructed
to transmit to each vestry in the State, a
copy of the resolutions on the division of
the diocese, and Urging upon them the
importance OF sending delegates to the
Virginia Council. Rev. Armstrong was
elected convocative preacher for the next
meeting, Charleston was fixed as the place
and the Wednesday after the first Sun
day IN November as the time for the
next convocation. A vote of thai ks was
unanimously given to our citizens for
their hospitality TO the members and the
convention adjourned sine die.
Several Of the clergymen remain here
over Sunday, but some have left to spend
the day and preach elsewhere
We shall always be glad 10 welcome
such conversations to our town, as we
have enjoyed very much the society de.
bates and preaching of the members of
this one. A. NJ.

luded to the deceased as be-
ing q most faithful member of the
Church and man of highest integrity.
After the services the remains of the
good man were conveyed to the house
by the following psll-besrers: John G.
Hoffman, Christian Hess, Thos. y Brien,
John Fitzsmmous, John Vochler. Peter
Bosley, W. II. Handlan.
There was a large concourse OF people
who followed the remains to the new
