THE OFFICIAL AK.

We are authorized by certain Federal Off
cial-whose name and bodily presence will be
forthcoming as suddenly as required-that
when an expatriated subject of Her British
Majesty undertakes, in the name of the
Crown, to direct President Hayes in the use
of the decapitatng ak, he ought at least to
show his credentials. The aforesaid Fed is
willing to undergo such positive experience
as may be necessary to prove to him that Mr.
Hayes considers it disreputable for Ropubli-
cans to stand by their colors He prefers in

A CAT AND DOG STORY.

Mr. Mcleod, hardy miner of Prospect
mountain, who cabins on the western slope of
that elevation, has two pets that cheer his
lonely household-a dog, a magnificent spec
men of the setter type, and common tabby.
The canine and the feline have struck up
close friendship, and in their rambles are in
separable, both following their owner to the
scene of his labors and attending upon him
home in his walks While down i'll his mine,
they roam at will over the country, but are
always on hand in the evening to attend
him on his way home. During the spring
and summer, Mr.. Mcleod has been surprised
nearly every day to find at the door of his
domicile from one to a half dozen rabbits
neatly killed and evidently left for use III his
larder. SO often has this occurred that rab-
bit diet became somewhat mOnOtOnous, and
in consequence his brute friends were treated
to the source of this addition to his stock of
edibles, and suspecting that his pets were &C
countable for the same, he recently gave
leisure day to the solving of the mystery.
His surmise proved to be a correct one, and
he found that his dumb companions regularly
INDUCED in hunting expedition, the result
of which they were in the habit
of placing at his disposal. Their
nlodlls OperoJdj was an ingenious one.
The dog, with the sagacity of his strain,
crouching in its form or under some sage
brush. when he would come to a dead point,
thus informing the cat of the whereabouts of
the prey Then the latter would steal up to
poor bunny, and with a spring fasten upon it,
holding with a death grip, although some
times carried a distance of fifty yards by the
frightened victim, until the dog reached the
scene, and dispatched the game. This would
be kept up until the animals weried of their
sport, when the dog would seize the dead
rabbit and bound off toward the house, the
cat in the meantime staying with those cap
tured and left on the field. They seemed to
enjoy the sport hugely, and were very proud
of their captures, evidencing mute delight
when their master took charge of them. The
owner who related to us this authentic Incl
dent is willing to verify the truth of it to any
who will pay him visit at his residence. -

PLATFORM AND RESOLUTIONS OF THE CITIZENS
PARTY OF ORMsBY COUNTY
We, the citizens of Ormsby County, adopt
the following as the platform on which, with
out distinction of party, We propose to make
the ensuing canvass.
1st.-We are opposed to any repeal, mod
ifcation or change of the law taxing the net
proceeds of the mines
2nd.-We arraign the transcontinentaI
railroads for their unjust and oppressive dis
ordinations in the matter of freights and
fares to and between points in this State, and
we demand prompt legislation by Congress
and the State Legislature for the correction of
those abuses.
3rd-That the General Government should
Immediately take such steps as to absolutely
stop the further immigration of Asiatics to our
country; and that such just and peaceful
measures should be adopted as may be appro-
pirate and necessary to induce those already
among us to quit our shores at the earliest
practical moment.
4th.-We repudiate and denounce the doc
trine that any public officer may disregard and
ignore the pledges made to his constituents
and on the faith of which he was elected; and
declare that if such practice be tolerated, it
will result in the destruction of representative
democratic government; and we declare that
no power exists which can relieve officials from
pledges made to the people previous to their
election.
5th.-That we view with alarm the increas-
ing and unceasing attempts of the moneyed
powers of the Pacific States to control the cleo
tions and shape the legislation of said States,
that the principle and practice are fraught
with danger to our Republican government,
and should be frowned down and resisted by
every individual who has at heart the welfare
of American institutions and the freedom of
the masses.
6th-Resolved, That the stock brokerage
business should be regulated by law and the
security of the people be protected by proper
legislative enactment

pancy of the building by the United States ;
