The Farmers Dog.

have had some experience In that
line, and am decidedly in favor of the
mastiff. The mastiff is a noble looking
animal, large. kind, very affectionate,
and not inclined to CAD about the coun-
try miles from home. He is intelligent
and very domestic, as rule is fond of
children. | have one at the present
time, a little over year old. He is q
very large and powerful dog, but my
little six-year-old girl controls him per-
fectly, and when on the street ne al
ways seems to take delight in guarding
her from danger, taking the outside or
more exposed position. She has taught
him to shake hands, sit on chair, lie
down, roll over, play possum. fetch and
carry, and his extreme good nature is
remarkable. Still he has courage, and
if a strange dog comes near the child,
or approaches the house, he must re-
treat at once or take shaking up. My
little girl says, tell the gentleman that
Duke is not for sale. We vote for the
mastif. M.

am sure that no breed of dog is SO
useful on ?. Iarm as pure collie. The
breed we have will bring the COWS home
to be MIXED and drive them back to
pasture; find the sheep and bring them
to their Enclosures every evening; is re-
markably fond of children, but does
not like cats. We live some two miles
from postofice, and on mail day our
collie will 60 and bring our papers and
letters Just as safe as any man would
do it. We have harness for him: it
goes round the neck and fastens round
the body, with a pocket on either side,
having a flap buckled over. Then he
gets on his brass collar with pointed
edges, as protection from other dogs
on the road, very few of which will
come near this dress. Before starting
he has lunch, and is promised good
dinner if smart back. About twenty
minutes is the time he takes to do the
message, unless delayed at the office,
where he announces his arrival with q
loud barking. In the busy time of
spring and hary TEST, this letter carrier
proves of very great advantage.

THE FIRST ENFORCEMENT OF THE
SEITZ LAW,

Ashland, Ohio, Mar 12-0n Monday last an In
teresting scene occurred in our county court.
About O'clock Of that day three persons stood
before the Judges bench, viz: Wilson Lutz, Of
Jeromeville, Ashland county, Ohio, his attorney
and George B. Smith, our Prosecuting Attorney.
Those within hearing listened while Lutz pleaded
guilty to q criminal charge, and the Judge SEN
fenced him to pay fine Of SluO, the COSTS OF pros
ecution, and to stand commltted until the nne
and costs were paid or secured.
During the November term OF court Mr.. Lutz
was presented to the Grand Jury and indicted
under the Seitz law for bribing three electors, VIZ
FRY, Ewing and Ofner, with money to vote for
Charley Foster for Governor. These boys took
the money and then every man OF them voted for
Ewing.
Jury, Lutz hireG lawyers and they demurred to
the Indictment As our Prosecutor makes no
mistakes in his Grimm al pleading this one stood
the test The demurrer was argued by Lut2s
counsel at some length on his behalf, ana by the
Prosecutor for the State When passed upon by
the Judge the indictment was held TO be not only
correctly and legally drawn, but also very care
fully and skillfully. A continuance was then
obtained until this term Of Court, when petition
signed by about 100 of the friends and neighbors
Of the defendant was presented To the prosecutor
asking him to nolle the indictment, and great
pressure was brought to bear on him to do this,
He steadily refused but as Lutz had hitherto been
a good, law abiding citizen, he promised to, and
did recommend him to the mercy OF the Court,
In consideration OF his former good record and
other circumstances, Lutz escaped with the low.
est sentence provided for by that excellent law.
This is in brief the history OF the case and Is the
first instance we have seen OF conviction and
sentence under the Seitz law. Two much praise
cannot be given our Prosecutor for the able and
skllliul manner with which he has handled the
case from beginning to end. single.handed and
alone he has conducted 1t and brought tito sue
cessiul termination. He richly merits vote OF
thanks by the Democracy of Ohio, for making an
example in this case, when one is needed so much
for we have SD ffered long and deeply from this
thing OF buying up our voters We have better
luck with such prosecutions here than you have
in Stark county.

ago these offices were still more valuable, but J.

Harrisburg, Pa. March 15.-The puddlers em'
ployed at the Lochiel, Paxton, Bailey, Fairview
and Central iron works in this city and at Wister
at Duncannon, have struck for an advance in
their wages from S5 to Sc per ton. ProprIetors
offer IS 5O but their offer is refused This strike
was not sprung by an organized unlon but is the
result of an agreement among puddlers. A con-
ference Of puddlers from all the mills was held at
Duncannon on Saturday, at which demands were
agreed upon. The puddlers in the mills from
Johnstown to Columbia, about DO establishments
in all are on strike. In this vicinity about 600
workmen, puddlers and helpers are idle, but a
proracted strike will throw an immense number
Of others out of employment who are working on
manufactured iron. 1t is said there are 1900 men
between Johnstown and Columbia. There is no
disturbances; everything is quiet thus far The
mill owners say they cannot afford to give more
than $3.50 for pudding, owing to the risky condi.
ton OF the iron market, a crash in prices being
momentarily expected.
