1t is a we'll known fact that the
malicious slanderiDgs of gossips
have caused more trouble in this
world than any other cause. The Ii.
quOr traffic has been assailed again
and again but it is doubtful if this
traffic so much derided, really does so
much harm as that class of people.

aud many u happy home broken up
on account of the stories set afioat
by those who, having no business OF
their own, employ their time in
prying and misinterpreting the &C

the results of gossiping habit was
announced in the associated press

the most serious crimes known to

Innocent of the offense claimed by
the gossipy neighbors. 1t is a sad
commentary on that Christian

in this century that people should

Sheep-Grubs In Head.
Coleman's Rural World.

I
Grubs are deposited in the nos
trils of the sheep, during tht
mOunths OF July and August, b,
the sheep bothy (Estrns ovisl
Various remedies have been offer
ed. All of which are to dislodgt
the grubs, or prevent the gad-fy
from depositing the egg or grub
Each theory is received, but thai
the fly deposits the living grub, il
advanced by Riley and generally
believed of late.
AS soon as the larvai is deposited
it begins to creep upwards, irrita
ting the delicate Innings of the nose
as it goes up. 1t remains in the
head till May or June, when fully
matured. Then they drop to the
ground, where they remain forty to
fifty days, when the fly comes forth
from its pupa state to propagate its
kind. Its life in this state is brief.
1t cats nothing. Only deposits it's
larva in the nostrels OF the sheep.
During this time, if the sheep could
be kept on new pastures, where the
bot-fy had not been dropped in the
grub state, all would fare well per-
haps.
Such preventives as keeping. o
well plOughed piece of ground for
the sheep to thrust their noses into;
or smearing tar on the sleeps noses
two OF three times week; or dust
ing the sheep in the barn, closely
confined, for q few minutes with
slaked lime, to make them cough
and sneeze, 50 they will throw the
young grubs out in the operation in
sneezing.
Sailing sheep in auger holes, Dor.
ed into a log a couple OF inches,
with tar smeared around these holes
SO the sheep may smear their no.
ses in getting at the salt, is practic-
ed by somo effectively. Tho inhal-
ing of carbolic acid vaporis recon-
mended by some. A feather, dip
pee. in oil of turpentine, and gently
passed up the nostrols and turned
around several times, has been
practiced. A weakened solution
of carbolic acid, or creosote, has
been used the same way.
Sheep with grub in the head,
ought to be well fed to keep up the
vitality and strength of the sheep.
The extra demands for this irrita-
ting cause, can hardly be estimated.
The trying season on sheep from
this parasite, are the late winter
and early springs months.
Lambs GU account of the moro
tender state of the Innings, suffer
more seriously from their assaults
than older sheep.

SCISSORS are not yet received at the
Office of the auditor of public ac-

received to warrant the snpposition
tliat the valuation will fall ten per

and consequently the State levy
will probably be four mills on the

mills as provided by tho last Legis-

valuation of 1876. This valuation
may be altered by the boards of

fixed until the boards pass upon
the assessors reports. -

1875 and 1879 by counties:

a gentleman from that neighbor
hood, the following affair occurred:
A Mr.. Davis was ordered to be
arrested for some cause by Magis-

out several men who attempted
the arrest, he proceeded to the

ployed maltreating his father, a
son of Mr.. Merrlwether, only
fourteen years of age, procured a
pistol, and came up and shot Davis
so that he died. Taking the facts
to be as stated To us. We suppose
Davis to have been wild With drink

A LATE Washington dispatch says that
everybody in administration circles was
very happy over the news from Ohio. John
Sherman was at his Office all day, where he
received calls and congratulations. SeCre-
tary Evarts, the only other cabinet member
in the city, came over to talk about the de-
tails of the canvass. The Republican lead
ers regard their victory as very important
one, as in the election, they claim, were
tested the issues raised during the extra
session. Further than this, they regard
the election as a final settlement of the
money question and a recognition that re-
sumption and consequent good times can
be credited up to the score OF the Republi-
can party. Sherman's friends regard it as a
great step upon the highway to his nomina-
ton for the presidency. Foster is an anti
Grant man. His great success has given
the Republicans confidence. This, at least,
is the opinion Of prominent Republicans.
