be obliged to pay for license or dispose of
their dogs, would II not be we'll for every
owner of SpRE dog 10 consider whether,
by retaining his dog, he will not jeopardize
the safety of his family, and also that of the
public9 Permit me to call your attention
TO an order recently offered in the State
Legislature of Massachusetts, as follows
"The Committee on Agriculture heard the
order offered in the House by Mr.. Tomp-
kins OF Wrentham for a bill to authorize
the selectmen of towns in times OF special
danger to muzzle or kill all dogs. There
was also an order having in view the es-
pecial danger to community from the Spitz
breed of dogs, and the committee have
been accumulaling considerable evidence
on this point. Mr.. Alley of Wenham stat
ed to the committee that he had q little
daughter who was bitten by a Spitz dog in
March last, and died from hydrophobia in
May following. The dog at the time Of the
biting showed no signs of being mad. 1t
may be said that although the committee
have not fully decided in their own minds
as to what shall be done in the matter,
there Is little doubt but that they will re-
port bill authorizing a general killing of
these dogs. a public bearing will be Civ
en- on Wednesday next"
When we call to mind the number of
children who daily pass TO and from school,
through the streets TO which these dogs
have free access, is 1t not quite time TO
arouse the parents to the danger to which
their children are constantly exposed7

The Detection ofCounterfeit Notes.

A Its of counterfeit national bank
notes, arranged on a plan perfected
by Receiving Teller Underwood, of
the nation | Bank Redemption
Agency, will soon be issued. 1t is so
arranged that any one without being
a Judge Of money can readily detect
a counterfeit. An examination of an
advance copy reveals the following
facts The counterfeiterS have so far
neglected to pay any attention to the
name of the Register on the genuine
notes. All the tWenties on the mar
ket, Merchants National Bank of
Commerce, Shoe and Leather and
Tradesmen's National Bank, of New
York city, bearing the name of l.. f..
Chittenden as Register, are counter
felt. The genuine notes on those
banks all have the name of S. b.
Colly as Register. This is also the
case with the twenty on the Oneida
National Bank Of Utica, New York.
All fiVe.dOllar notes of the following
banks bearing the name of S. b.
Colby as Register are counterfeit:
First National Bank of Aurora, H.:
Canton, ILL.,, Chicago, ILL.,, Paxton,
Ill.,, and northampton, Mass. All
the genuine fives on these banks have
the name of l.. f. Chittenden as
Register, with the exception of the
First National Bank Of Paxton, ILL.,.
on which is printed the name Of John
Allison as Register. The counterfeit
ten on the Muncie National Bank of
Indiana has he name of Allison as
Register and Spinner as Treasurer,
while all genuine issues have either
the names of Colby and Spinner or
Allison and New. All tens on the
First National Bank of Loekport,
New York, and the First National
Bank of Poughkeepsie, New York,
having the name of S. l.. Colby as
Register are counterfeits. The gen.
uire notes bear the name of L. f.

Things to be Done.

Among the things to be done by
the Legislature at its next session,
the Baltimore Guzette mentions the
following :
among the subjects which will
demand the attention of the Legis-
lature at its next session in January
will be the local-option law, the
militia reorganization, the condition
of he reformatories and public char
tiles, the extension Of the limits of
the city of Baltimore, and the laws
for the better protection of sheep
against dogs. Hardly any Of these
is or ought to he party question,
and we trust that they will not be
approached in IA partisan spirit. AS
to the Iocal-option law, it is not a
thing to be decided on sentimental
or theoretical considerations. 1t is
no lungera an experiment. 1t has been
tried with varied results in several
parts of the country and it is rather
by an inquiry into its practical work
ing elsewhere than by arguments
that the subject should be discussed.
The true mode would be to obtain
full reports upon its workings where
it has been successful and where it
fails to work well, and where it has
been tried and abandoned and VIII y.
