deserted. TIE ground, however, was wet
and muddy, aud 1t was decided to postpone
the contest until Tomorrow. Many athletes,

should the weather prove pleasant, the con-
tests for the prizes will come off.

The Status of the Dog.

4O boJAS Va Viz DO5'
A bill was introduced in the
Senate OF North Carolina on the
10th instant, entitled san act
to define the status Of the dog"
which, if it shonld pass, will go
far to settle a yexed question.
Here in Tennessee dogs have
never been able 10 acquire a
positive standing in court.
They have been held to be do
nestle animals and property,
and on the other hand,s have
been treated as fer@ nature, not
having proper owners who could
be held liable for damages done
to or by them. The proposed
North Carolina act, however,
settles the status of the dog IN
an effective way. It declares
dogs to be property, and states
that, as it is the common right
and privilege Of Ahercitizens of
that State, "without distinction
of race, color Or preyiouscondi-
ton of servitude," to holE prop
erty Of all kind, that may be
honestly and legally acquired, I'M
der such restriction as The publ, c
good exacts, it is enacted that
every citizen may own as many
dogs as he is able 10 maintain,
"of ali kindsand larieiies,except
mod dogs and, lean dogs, as hp-
mainly fofbfis4 thdPholdihg Of
one and public policy the other.1'
ThebiEl furtllertleclarc fhatsthe
dogs of North Carolina shall
have no more privileges than The
citizens of the State, wherefore,
if they trespass, invade premi-
SEES, steal eggs OF other proper
ty, or annoy people upon streets
and highways, they Shalt inc0i
the penalty Of death at the hands
of the person offended. Final
ly, the bill requires owners of
dogs to. coniinc or restrain then
upon their own premises by
block and chain or proper In
closures, except when employ
ed in the chase or in hunting. anC
then.they must be X pit under thc
supervisor of the owner or hi.
agent uutil returned to his prem
ises, upon penalty of forfeiture
of life. The suspicion of bur.
lesque about this bill does no
prevent it from containing al
the elements Of a good and nee
essary law, and lis enactmen
will put wholesome restrain
upon many worthless ours which
now make sheep husbandry al
Improbable business.

a Speedy Cure for Hog
Cholera.

The Lewlstown Gazette, pub
lished in Fulton county, Ill, con-
tains the following Every pa
per in the United States ought
occasionally to keep the fact be-
fore its readers that burnt corn
is certain and speedy cure for
hog cholera. The best way is
to make a pile Of corn on the
cobs, efectually scorch it, and
then give the affected hogs free
access to it. This remedy was
discovered by E. E. Locke, Esq,
at the time his distillery was
burnt in this county, together
with a large lot Of store corn,
which was SO much injured as to
be unfit for use, and was hauled
out and greedily eaten by the
hogs, several of which were dy-
ing daily. After the second day
not a single hog was lost, and
the disease entirely disappeared.
The remedy had been tried in a
number Of cases since, and never
failed.

Sweet Cider.

There have been so many re-
ceipts published in agricultural
papers from time to time claim
ing to be the best methods for
preserving cider Tint We fearany
d. fcrcDt method will not meet
with much acceptance. Good
sweet cider is possessed Of val
liable medicinal properties, uand
is free fromsah yintoSiciItiifg in
Auence, and is as wholcsonIe and
Nutritious as the apples from
which it has been nlade.L IOuI
plan for curing cideris aayeFy
simple one; Put the. cider int6Il
perfectly sweet barrel; placetht
barrel in a coop eelIai'Y dissolve
two ounces. { r French. lislhglasss
!.
in a quart Of hot water or cider,
pour ibis into, the cider and
thoroughly, stir by INSERTING J
broom-stick into the bdag-hole
Bqpg tight and allow TO clarity
for five or six weeks.
Draw the cider into clean tubs
thoroughly rinse all sediment
from the barrel; return the cider
pour one pint of sweet oil
through the bung hole upon the
cider and the work is done
The cider will be as clear. as
amber aud as sweet as the day
it was made.
The isinglass carries dow
all substances that ferment ant
the oil being lighter than tht
cider, floating on the surface
excludes the air and thus pre-.
vents all fermentation. If yot
desire the cider to be sprightly
put a lump of rock candy abou
as large as a hazel nut in eaci
quart bottle, fill with cider, corl
tightly and tie the cork down
and in three or four weeks th,
cider will sparkle and efferyesct
like champagne.
We know this plan TO be one
Of the very best, aud have
never known it to fail.
