Dogs and Sheep.

In the year 1860 the State OF
Massachusetts contained II4,-
900 sheep, and 10000 dogs,
while at the present time, with
the same number of dogs or
more, there are but 5000 sheep.
The dog tax of that State ap-
pears to afford farmers very
slight encouragement in sheep
breeding, SO long as the dogs
are allowed to run at large day
and night, In 1875 there were
II,4So dogs reported as having
been engaged in killing 1873
sheep, and in 1873 there were
10000 dogs taxed, but the
amount of damage done by such
dogs exceeded $4,000, so that
although the sheep industry
might be made ore of the
most remunerative in the State,
yet it cannot improve till more
radical measures for the suppress
sion of dogs are adoped.-[ Dro-

Confederate Brigadiers.
philadelphia sunday Mercury

The Republican" newspaper
Organs" complain, that the
South is represented in Con-
gress by Confederate Briga-
diers." All the best men in the
Southeast in brains, culture,
and social position-happen-
ed to be in the Confederate
army. The South, in conform
ity with its habit before the
late rebellion, selects its most
respectable. intelligent, and
trustworthy citizens, to repre-
sent it in Congress. They,
therefore, choose Hampton,
Johnson, Hill, Gordon, Lamar,
Stephens, Tucker, and others of
like ability, to speak for them
in the parliament of the repub-
lie. They represent the best
sense, the largest wealth, the
sincerest loyalty of the South.
Why don't the north do it?
Why don't it send its best intel
lect, virtue, and culture, to the
national grand council? Why
does it not, politically, recog-
cize and promote the soldiers
who were its foremost cham
pions in the late war, instead of
the nincompoops who, during
that terrible crisis, talked about
the duty of saving the Union,
but never went within the smell
of gunpowdcr to save it? tits,
and has always been, the DIS
grace, as we'll as the disadvan-
tage of the North, that it has.
comparatively speaking, cho-
sen ignorant, uneducated, and
dishonest men to Congress, and
they cannot complain if they
are not as wise in this matter
as the Southern people. The
South could have no proper re-
presentation in Congress if its
best citizens were not elected to
seats in that body and all of its
best, like all of the rest, were in
the Confederate army. There
fore, Republicans" of the
North, why don't you send
your Brigadiers to Congress, to
confront the Southern Briga-
diersa 1t is yonr own fault if
you don't, and the reason why
you don't is, that you perpetu- !
ally send to Congress, not only |
men who are intellectually infe- |
rior to many whom you won't
send, but whose patriotism, dur
ing the rebellion, consisted in |
paying better patriots to expose
their lives in defence to the flag |

ed champagne, and shouted
hurrahs for the poor soldiers as
they marched to battle past the |

Farmers Work.
lColeman's Rural Norld.l

A great many farmers imag-
inc that merchants and others
have an easier road to wealth
than they. This may be true
to a certain extent and in a
certain way. There is no ques-
ton but that the average far
mer is, as a rule, physically
more tired at night than the
majority of mercantile or pro-
fessional men. But farmers
need only a trial to convince
them that other pursuits, if fol-
lowed successfully, are Just
about as hard as farming. The
real fact is, that in these days,
a man to make a success of his
business and make it pay, must
work and watch. No farmer
can expect to make money if
he spends his time in town, loaf
ing. Neither can the merchant
or the professional man. The
old adage, eff you want thing
half done, send; if done well, 60
yourself" is never truer than on
a farm. The farmer must take
an interest in his own business
must watch his own corners.
You Cannot, as a rule, get hired
help that will do the work for
you as well as you could do it
yourself. You must see to it
that your stock is properly fed
and watered; that your machin-
cry is taken care of and your
ground plowed as you want it
done-in fact, there is no bust
ness that needs watching in de-
tail so much as farming This
is not only the case with the
farmer, but with every class;
and the closer the details are
watched, and the more attention
paid and interest taken in them,
the greater will be the reward.
The man who spends his time
visiting or loafing around, can
never make a success at any
thing. The farmer who habit.
ually leaves his farm and the
care of stock to others, and fails
to see that his work is properly
done, will soon find his balance
on the wrong side of the ledger.
II, then, you would make a
success of farming, watch your
corners close attend more to
your own business and less to
your neighbor's; see that your
work is done according to your
directions. Take at least one
good agricultural paper that is
devoted to your own interest,
and learn from the experience
of others as well as from YOUR
self how to be more careful and
prundent.

BANNER AGENTS.
Take Care Of the Tools.

A tool room is one of the most
necessary of all farm buildings,
and in it should be a place for
all kinds of tools from moving
machine down through the num-
berless varieties Necessary to the
successful operations on our
farms. In no one thing is there
greater neglect than in the care
oftools. How common is it to
see moving machines. carts,
wagons, plows and harrows
standing out of doors beside
fences from early spring to late
autumn, and sometimes all the
year. / have in mind an in
stance where not two weeks ago
/ saw a moving machine, a har-
row, two or three wagons and
many other traps, left beside
the road near the buildings, and
this where the farm operations
were active. To say that the
surroundings were very untidy
would be mild description.
For the most economical Gull
tivation of our farms there ought
to be complete set of tools.
Having obtained a good article,
take care of it. No matter
what it is, do not attempt to ac-
complish any work with any
tool for which it is not design
ed. Never attempt to NOW
brush with a hoe or dig a post
hole with an AK. Not that it can
not be done, but if done it will
be at the expense of the impli-
ments. When you have done
using any tool, clean it, carry it
to the tool house and put it
in its place ready for use at some
other time. Make this an in
variable rule with all help and
hold them responsible for any
tool. fit is not done. Every
farmer would be astonished in
the saving of time and labor, to
say nothing of the saving of an
noyance, if this rule was strictly
enforced, and in no way can this
be done so well as by example
of the farmer himself. Do not
let the boys catch you neglect
ing this duty.-[Ex.

Evidence that Democrats Have Been Sc.

BANGOR, November &c, The Wing will,
tomorrow morning, state that Mr.. Boutelle
of the Republican State Committee, has Just
obtained direct and positive evidence that the
democratic managers have been secretly sub
stituting altered and amended election re-
| turns contrary to law The constitution and
| law require that the return sent to the Secre-
tary of State, by the town clerk, shall be signed
and sealed up in open town meeting. Mr..
Boutelle has evidence that the clerk of GER
tain democratic town in one of the threatened
| counties forwarded his return Immediately
after election in precise accordance with his
record.
As late as the second week of November
this clerk was informed by other town officers
that prominent democrat requested new
return to be made. as there was some trouble
with the returns from that and other demo
cratic towns
The clerk did make a new return which
was forwarded about the middle of Novem-
Der, in which he corrected the errors and
supplied the omissions complained of, al
though the town record still shows them just
as they appeared in the original return.
If this late return has been substituted for
the original, palpable fraud has been COM
mitted; and the fact that a comparing of the
returns with the record, would at once have
exposed such tampering may explain the
persistent refusal to permit republicans to
see the returns

The First Representation OF Pinafore bv
U.Ocal n le nnf.

AsOCaA AaAChAs
A large and appreciative audience listened,
last evening, to the first public rendering Of
Pinafore as presented by local talent. TAX
ing the performance as q whole it was very
pleasing and entertaining, and gave great
satisfaction to the listeners. Each of those
who took leading parts displayed excellence
in one direction or another. The chorus was
noticably well balanced and each and every
member entered into the spirit of the opera
with commendable zeal. Mr.. John f. Pink
ham, As musical director of the evening
performance, and all the rehearsals, could
certainly feel rewarded for his efforts towards
the successful presentation which was given
Mr.. Richard +. Goodwin, as manager, has
carried out with ability and judgment all the
business details. The orchestra seconded
the efforts of the players in good style.
Miss Lou w. Baldwin, as JOSEPH inc, won
the hearty plaudits of the audience from her
first appearance and received an encore of
her scena The Hours Creep On Apace."
Her voice is very superior and it is not too
much to say that her rendition of the part is
surpassed by very few professionals. Miss
Jennie f. Whitehouse was exceedingly pleas
ing as Buttercup. and her fine contrato voice
was heard to great advantage, especially in
the duet, Things are Seldom what They
SEEM" and Miss Annie NJ. Hatch made
decidedly piqaunt and saucy lIebe. Mr.. r.
f. Goodwin had good conception of the
part Of Sir Joseph Porter and gave it in
most artistic manner. Mr. w. A. Waterhouse
sang and acted Ralph nicely, his clear tenor
voice being well suited to the part. Mr.. w.
}. Landers made a fine looking captain and
was excellent throughout. Mr.. +. II. Rowse
was fully equal to the difficult role Of Dick
Deadeye, and convulsed the audience with
his original and ludicrons rendering of the
part. Mr.. ii. L. Milliken was a perfect sue
cess as Boatswain, winning a well-deserved
encore on his solo "lIe is an Englishman"
TO night another representation will be Civ
en- and probably to fuller house than last
evening.
