As this is the time for the collection OF
the annual tax on dogs, aud as the
capture and impounding Of lnckless ami.
mails Of that species on whom nobody
will pay The tax is the mos. interesting
and absorbing thing that is transpiriny
IN town. IL is natural that the Sazerao
Lying Club, which devotes its debates
TO current events, should discuss dogs.
There was one Of these debates last
night. The exploits Of the city dog
catcher were criticised, and, by a nat
ural sequence, the thread Of the argn-
ment merged into kettiing and other
outrages on dogs. The most approved
hitch for fastening the kettle to the dog
had been elaborated on. the cruelty OF
iurpentine denounced and the merits OF
fire-crackers argued. when venerable
member spoke up as follows '.Over in
Nirginny, in Ga. see the dog-gonedest
thing about fixing dog. The animile
was one OF these big waller ours. and
some fellow had fixed a giant powder
cartridge to his tail, fuse-cap and all. ]

member: this il my dog story. Find

sidewalk, not six inches from where lie
stood when the shot went OIL, playin'

Hon. Geo. c. Hazleton, was Gin teryiew>
ed" at Chicago by Times reporter, 1t says
that Mr.. Hazletou called himself Democrat
and voted for Tilden last year. Well, if Mr..
Hazleton permitted himself to be interviews

such things said of him. What the Times say.
is as reliable as what man says in his sleep,
no more.
John Talen, who farmed the Jackson
place in Potosi for some years, made trip
lato Iowa recently to look for new loca,
ton. He had with him a splendid team for
which he was offered $3.50. On the way
home week or two ago his horses took
sick and died within two hours OF each other.
He will in a short time sell off his property
in Potoe and move west.

In paper a small fraction of which is
printed in Lancaster, we find w. b. Clark's
name badly mixed up with 'mishap Of Tobit,
the "strcets of Paris running red with royal
blood" the youthful fire of Montgomery,
Southey and Wordsworth" and sthe Greek
mines of Laurium." If some school-ma am
in bib and tucker had, with a spoon, stirred
pumpkin pie into this plagiarized mess we
doubt whether the Professor could ever
whistle up "doghood or horsehood" enough
to take himself out of it.
Some boys, the,other night, went about
town with paint-pot and brush and smeared
such clean, white surfaces of fences and houses
as came in their way Mrs Shrader,s new
white fence was badly daubed. The white
fence around the NJ. E. church, finished and
painted about week ago, received an ugly
daub. The best looking surfaces we're the
ones chosen for injury. We must not blame
the boys. They are just like many men.
They 60 about disfguring characters beside
which their own looks rough in comparison.
They would have us all look alike, and per-
haps il is best so. If Mrs Shrader and other
people do not want their property di sfgured
they must not make it look better than other
peoples. Or if they do want to keep it
bright and clean they should hunt up
the boys who did the mischief, give them
new coats and pocket money and say "hurrah
boys" and tell everybody what smart chaps
they are. They viii become heroes and cell
ebrated characters some day.

County Poor Farms.

One Of the transparent humbugs
of this age is our expensive Coun-
ty Poor Farms" Generally these
result in imposing upon the county
a greater expense IN providing for
paupers than would suffice to clothe
the latter in style and board them
at first class hotel, and even, then,
they are seldom properly cared for.
More than this, the tendency of this
system is to lead considerable num-
Der Of worthless scamps to resort to
pauperism, who would otherwise
strive to provide for themselves.
These farms give them facilities for
secluding themselves from public
observation, and in this manner de-
prive pauperism of one of its most
odious features. Many indolent
persons consent to become public
charges, when they know that it is
in their power to leave at any time
and effectually conceal the fact of
their temporary pauperization from
the general public.
Experience seems to lave proved
that only the diseased and infrm
destitute need to be provided with a
public institution for their residence;
and, for their accommodation, a
building in the county seat city OF
village is much better than one loca-
