SHEEP HUsBADRY.-There is an old
Spanish proverb, "The hoof of the sheep is
golden" Whether this is true or not, the
universal experience of all who have attemp-
ted sheep husbandry is that it is the only
or most practical renovator of our worn out
soils and the best test of the profits aris.
ing from it is the tenacity with which flock
owners hold on to their ewes, refusing to
part with them at almost any price, while
they may be borrowing at high rate of
interest. This in itself should be conclu-
sive TO the. doubtful and inexperienced
! But we are all well aware that the hun
dreds of half starved and worthless ours
that infest tho country are a serious draw
back to successful sheep husbandry.
High taxation is the only remedy; and /
do think it high time that some regard
should be paid to the interests of the much
abused farmers, the acknowledged backbone
of the country. Candidates for the Legis-
lature make great pretensions for the inter.
est of the farmer, but when our votes send
them through rejoicing, so much time is
taken up with mileage and per diem that no
time is left to us. Now, as class, We have
some rights, and we should pertinaciously
demand them. Let every farmer resolve to
cast his vote for no candidate that will not
pledge himself to bring this vexed question
to an issue, whether a farmers flock oi
sheep, hurdled upon his own premises, is
more subject to taxation than vagrant flock
of half dozen worthless, half starved by.
drophobic brutes, turned loose upon a com
munity." Cor. Southern Cultipator.

THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN OHIO.

me returns from the OhlO election hcrald
complete triumph for the Democrats,
which will cause an immense rejoicing
throughout the country. The Governor has
been chosen by large plurality, and the
Legislature on joint ballot has Il decided ma
jority for the Democracy, which insurcs
another Democrat in the United States SEN
ate. This last stronghold Of Radicaism
is fast capitulating, and the bare majority in
that body at this time will soon disappear
The blow struck at the Republican party in
Ohio will set at rest all doubts as to a new
political combination. The Democrats will
be more firmly united than ever before and
rnoir tofns rSft M ioveTwhoTm-
ing victory in the next Presidential contest.
"A solid North in favor of Radicalsm is no
longer within the range of possibility, and
sectionalism will meet tee death it deserves
broad, liberal and catholic sentiment will
pervade the victorious Democracy, march.
ing on to fresh triumphs at every encounter
with its ancient enemy. The Immediate
significance of the result ih Ohio is the in.
evitable influence to be cxertcd on other
States in few weeks Pennsylvania be-
comes the focus Of interest for the applica-
tion of this influence, and it is reasonable
to expect that the Democrats will be rein
forced by vast numbers of floating voters,
who will seek to align themselves with the
vlctors. Even Massachusetts will be affcc-
ted to an apprcciable degree, and defeat
Of the Republicans in that State becomes
one OF the probabilities of the future. The
Cincinnati Enquirer, few days b.focc the
election IN Ohio, presaged the far.reaching
results Of Democratic triumph, recalling
"thc influence Ohio had four years, ago
when the tritling plurality of SIT votes for
William Allen in October, following Re-
publican majority of $4,000 in the previous
year, gave even Massachusetts to the Democ.
racy, elected Democratic House of Rep
resentatv"s, reversing a two thirds majority
in that body, and contributed so largely to
placing majority Of the State Governments
in the hands of the Democratic party. 1t
may not be absolutely correct to say that
Ohio alone accomplished all these things, but
without that result in Ohio in 1873 those
things would not have been done. 1t is
part Of the national history that, SO long as
i Pennsylvania was, an. October State, she
national election, as the greater State Of
New York has done on several occasicus.-
The calendar position of the State made it
the key to. if not the dictator of, the poll
tics of the country. Ohio occupies that
position today. Itis one of great respons-
ibility. That responsibility is shared by
every voter in the State. When Ohio goes
Democratic, tho country cannot vote Re-
publican. When Ohio votes Democratic in
any October, every close or doubtful State
will follow, keeping step to the Democratic
music, and generation of men will proba-
oily come and go before this ceases to be the
rule. The vast floating vote of the country
will always be susceptible to this influence -,

There is a story Of two Isishmen who
bought Il little barrel of whisky in partner
ship to trade with on Derby day. They
agreed that neither should drink without
paying. On the way one drank glass and
paid his partner three pence. The other
then had glass and returned the three
pence. They kept up this alienation until,
when they reached the Downs, the whisky
was all gone, and they had honestly paid
for every drink, and We're bewildered to find
that they had only three pence between
them.

A TARANTULA's NEsT.-The nest of a
tarantula (spidcr) has been found in Cali
fornia of the most singular construction.
1t is about three inches ip length by two in
diameter, built in adobes, the wall being
nearly half an inch thick Inside of this
is projection, which nearly divides it in.o
two apartments, about an inch in diameter
The inside is lined with white downy SUBJ
stance, not unlike velvet, and presents one
of the cleanest and most tidy little house
holds imaginable. But the most curious
part of it is door, which fits into an aper-
ture, and closes it hermetically. The door
is secured by hinge, formed Of like fib-
rous substance as the lining of the house,
and upon which it swings with freedom.--
The nest is occupied by dozen little tar
antalas, which seem to subsist on yellow
secreted substance, that appears upon the
walls of the front apartment. The arrange
ment of the doot for the protection of the
little inmates Indicates great instructive ar.

An average price for stock and grain was
fixed upon by those present. Among the in
structions given Them by Auditor Stamp was
to swear each and every person to his tax re :
turn. The law requires all statements of per
sonal property to be made under oath or af
firmation and a departure from the truth in 6
statement is perjury and rendels the guilty
party liable tc prosecution. The oath mus
be administered to party by the Assessor OF
other authorized officer. The mere signing
of the jurat or certificate by the officer (as has
been the custom of some Assessors) is not suf
ficient; the oath must be administered as sol
emnly as in other cases where afidavits art
required by law.
If party refuses to list or evades the oath
the Assessor must make the assessment him
sell, and return the party as refusing, and t.
all such returns so per cent will be added b,
the Auditor when he makes Up his books.
Each Assessor will be required to swear tina
he has done his whole duty under the law
and that he has not in any instance consentet
to or connived at the violation of any of tn
requirements of the law, before he can draw
pay for his services.
This alone, if understood by the taxpayers
will furnish sufficient apology for all the AS
SCISSORS to enforce the law strictly.

T. Y. Railroad.

ED. CHRONICLE: Last week gave
you some account of the recent eXcur'
sion over the TuScarawas Valley hoao,
having for lis object the extension oi
the 70; Il duwn through Harrison ana
Belmont Counties Ia Wheeling. IL
seems proper IL mention some iurtner
| facts relative toIha importance of the
enterprise. To show how IT opens out
this section into communication with
East and West we have only to glance
at the many lines of connecting rail
ways.
At Uhrichsville the 7. Y. crosses the
great Panhandle route, at New Phila
delphia. the t. V. branch OF the Z: q
IP, II. R., at Massilon twenty-five miles
from New Philadelphia, the Pittsburgh
Fort Wayne & Chicago road, at Ciiuton,
ten miles lurther The Millersburg q
Akron road; at Seville, the Atlantic d
Great Western which with the New
York L Erie viii give good line OF
travel to New York. Twenty-Five
miles from Cleveland at Grafton the
T. V. crosses the G. Z. c. d l. BY n
arrangement with the latter, the L. V.
has Cleveland for one of its northern
termini, while our route proper goes on
more directly to the Lake, crosses the
Lake Shore AT Eiyria and calls halt
at Black River Har6or. whose excel
Lat commercial facilities [ mentioned
in my last. The Harbor is one hun
dred and one miles from UhrichSviiie,
the present southern terminus, and
one hundred and tifty-five miles from
Wheeling, the to-be southern terminus.
Such an outlet AMI inlet as the route
will afford to Wheeling and neighbOr-
ing country is seldom offered to any
place either on the water or inland.
One good point in this road whereby
expense is reduced is the absence of
heavy grades, so that one eng inc trcts
along with train of thirty five loaded
coal ssrs which would need two on
most other lines. Il
From the spirit shown by the busi-
ness men Of Wheeling and Bridgeport
on this trip, and their expressed deter
mination to push this enterprise
through, have no doubt that ere this
they have almost raised the amount
needed TO start the mattOck and shovel.
As / understand it, subscribers to the
stock in this extension become stock
holders in the entire line. In other
words the road is unit, and two
thirds of it being liz successful opera
ton removes it from the list of benev-
olent enterprises, in which few who
have little property agree to pay the
amounts set opposite their names for
the benefit of those who have much
and know how to hold to it, under
which head the building of "a road usu-
ally comes. b.
