TAXING DOGS. The State OF
Ohio realized last year by the tax
on dogs the handsome sum of $236,
1853. IL is very doubtful if Ohio
harbors so many worthless ours as
Georgia, which gets no revenue al
all from the dogs. On the other
hand, however, Ohio, is one of the
greatest safeguarding States on the
continent, Licking county having
2O6, 544 head, worth $46l, 123, and
PauIdrng county, the smallest pro
ducer of wool and mutton, having
8 ,G73 sheep.

Two herdsmen qnarreled on Ne
braska prairie, and each threatened
to kill the other. Neither was arm
ed, but there was gun in their hut
a mile away. Both started for the
weapon, and it was a race for life,
for the man who got it was certain
to shoot his companion. They had
several fights on the way, and were
bruised 'and exhausted when they
neared the hut ; but they ran with
desperation, and kept abreast until
close to tho house. Then one trip

SOUTHERN OUTRAGE

OBlethorpe county Echo.
Several years ago, Mr.. james v.
Finley, a gentleman living near
Maxey's in this county, sold an old
negro man, named Kit Bugg, tract
of land at a very reasonable price
for the times. Kit was an indus
trious, honest old darkey, and as
fast as he made little money he
paid it upon the note. His pay
ments being small and frequent the
back of his paper was at length fill
ed with credits, and last week, when
the old negro came to make another
payment Of $50, no room could be
found on the note to place the cred
it. Mr.. Findley calculated up the
note, and found that Kit had paid
two thirds of the principal, and that
5000 was yet due, which debt his
debtor said would be paid as fast as
he could make tho money. Mr.. +
then told the old darkey that since
he sold him the land property had
deprecated in value, and as he
knew he (KiD had worked faithful,
ly to meet his payments, and fairly
earned the farm, i. should now be
his unincumbered. So drawing up
deed, he handed it, together with
the note, to Kit-hs thus voluntari-
ly relinquishing his claim to 5000,
every cent of which he could have
collected. Now, how many North
ern pl,iIantbropiSts would have done
this for the poor, oppressed negro 7
