Concerning the dog law which is now before
the State Legislature, correspondent writes
as follows: There is no use Of enacting
law to tax dogs, as that has proved failure in
the past but law to prohibit dogs from run
ming at large at night is the one desired. Farm
ers know there Is no trouble in the day time,
and only during the night are sheep attacked
by dogs. law that all dogs found running at
night unaccompanied by their masters should
be shot would have the desired effect"
WE'LL DorE.-A successful attack was made
upon a wall nearly feet in width, 60 feet in
length end or feet high, standing on the
premises Of the Rev. d. Barker, by party OF
young sddisrs who came marching up the
on his shoulder. The attack commenced with
vigor, and continued from early morn till md
afternoon. Two-thirds OF the wall fell, leaving
the remainder for future operations. Better
than money, boys, was the work so heartily
done. for which you have the thanks Of your
Pastor.
