Editor Democrat
Many persons, even rs good q
reasoner as Mr.. Tilden among
t!iom, seem to believe tho Radical
party will leave i'll the public mind
credit for the return Of better timcs
to the country. It was not so in
Massachusetts, where Butler got as
many votes rs last year, or in
Maine or Ohio, or New York.
Men generally are too sensible to
give a party credit for good crops.
l am persuaded That tho enlarged
freedom which general prosperity
gives 70 individuals will work to
the advantage rather Of the Demo
cratic party, to which thrce-(ouTtEs
.of the people naturally belong,

Sheep Industry in West EtrGImia

A Lewis county correspondent 0!
the hhRig'ncer. in letter pub
lishcd in Mondays issue, called al
tcntion to the great need in that
part Of the State Of the farmers
paving more attention to raising
sheep instead Of horses and other
stock that had not proved a rclia-
bic paying business. There is
probably no State in the Union
better adapted to sheep culture
than West Virginia. on account Of
Its mountainous character, and lis
good grass and wafer. Such men
rs Hon. William &. Brown and
Senator Jones. Of Preston county,
have cndcaYorel to excite m in
tcrest in this industry in thoirpart
of tho State, by:poinling ont how
much mere permanent and reliable
it is than the shuck business. Mr.
Brown expressed his regret oycI
tho lack Of u proper law for regula'
ting the dog nuisance throughout
tho State-a nuisance that has Sc
rioualy interlered with tho spread
OF sheep raising. 1t has been said
that the amount Of money wasted
in West Virginia on superllUoUs
dogs would educate all the poor
children. These worthless dogs
are tile foes Of the sheep business,
Over in Ohio they manage things
differently US respects this nui-
sance. There they have law that
provides 'that all sheep killed by
dogs shall be paid for out Of tho
fund which arises from taxes or
dogs throughout the State. II the
owners of the dogs are able to pay,
tho value of the sheep is collected
from them from them by summary
process"
We doub! if it would be possible
TO pass such Il law in West Virgin
ia, SO many more people who have
votes being interested in dogs than
in sheep. And yet We notice by
one of the Parkcrsburg papers that
"a wool buyer, purchasing wool tol
several years in Pennsylvania
Ohio and West Virginia, report:
that tho wool in West Virginia is
very superior TO that of the other
two States, only there is n very
little Of it, owing to tho dostruc'
ton of sheep By dogs. He ex
pressed the opinion that if WcsI
Virginia would enact the Ohio dog
law into its code, the business o
the State would increase in WOO
alone 100000 q year.-IEAee'in5
MIeNigeaeer.
The letter referred 10 by The
latelitgmecr was written by oul
townsman, +. NJ. Chalfant, and VIC
regret the paper containing it was
mislaid, as we intended publishing
it. So far as this section Of the
State is concerned VIC 10 not think
there can be d doubt but that the
sheep business is the very beet oul
farmers can engage in. Properly at
tended to it will pay so per cont
more on the investment than cat
lie or any other kind Of stock.

The Teachers Institute for this coun-
ty opened last Monday afternoon, with
Prof. Payne, assisted by Hon. Samuel
Johnson, of Dowagiac, in charge. The
afternoon was devoted principally to
organizing. The day sessions were de-
voted to instructions in regard to the
different studies, school management,
etc., three quarters of an hour being de-
voted to each subject, Prof. Payne and
Mr.. Johnson alternating conducting.
Superintendent Cover arrived Wednes-
day morning and was in at
tendance Wednesday. Wednesday even
ing, he lectured at the Town
Hall on Agitation and Agitators,"
and Notwithstanding the the very
stormy evening there was good attend
ance out to listen to the lecture, all be-
ing well pleased. Mr.. Cover left Thurs
day morning.
Thursday forenoon Prof. Payne lectur-
ed on reading, and those present pro-
nounced it the best thing of the insti-
tute, and of great value to those teach
ing. Thursday evening at the Town
Hall he lectured on Institutes and ben
efits to be derived from Them" This
lecture should have been listened to by
all interested in the progress of educa-
ton. We think Cheboygan was very
fortunate in having such able men pres
emit to conduct the institute. Prof.
Payne in educational matters, stands
second to none, and Hon. Samuel John
son showed that he was the right man
in the right place, his treatment of the
study of arithmetic could not have been
bettered, and the teachers present say
they would not have missed it under any
consideration.
The query box, Friday forenoon, was
greatly enjoyed, Prof. Payne answering
all questions cheerfully. The institute
closed Friday noon, when certificates
were given those who had been in regu-
lar attendance. The institute was a de-

ceiying instruction, it is time he was re-
ceiving his diploma and put to driving
a mule team.
