TuE Doe LAW AGxiN.--Ne have
frequent Instances Of the destruction of

of one farmer losing twenty five, anoth-
CT forty seven, another ten and others

this? Sheep husbandry Is among the
most valuable departments OF agricul

adapted to that industry. We know 1t

of dogs. Cannot the sense OF selfinter-

awakened to give proper protection to
this important MISUNDERSTANDING
StGiesmnn. it
BE- Such facts az are set forth In the
above paragraph remarks the Wheeling
Register, ought 10 be sufficient to III
spire another agitation of the question
of the dog law. this winter.
West Virginia is inst taking fresh
start in the business of sheep husband
ry. Some very costly specimens have
been imported into the State within the
last year or two--too costly to be sub
iect 10 the risk OF being destroyed by
worthless ours.
The disposition Of our people to en-
gage in sheep husbandry starts up peri,
odically, and as often gets backset by
In. wholesale destruction Of their flocks.
The same results may follow the present
boom. unless the dog law is made eftec-
tive. We don't think the present law
Is regarded as sufficient, and it would
not be amiss to take frmer grip upon
the destroyers throat at this session OF
the Legislature.

hour named the bridal party entered
the main aisle of the church, the ushers
leading the way, followed by the
bridesmaids; then came the bride and
groom followed by MIR. and Mrs. Ritter,
the brides parents. The party formed
au imposing tableau as they stood be-
fore the minister during the marriage

had assembled to evidence their interest
in this happy young couple, among
whom were large number of the mem

be obliged to import nearly seventy mil
lion bushels OF wheat for consumption
during the impending winter. And
there is TO doubt We will reap the &C
cruing beueGt. The French cannot get
what they want from Russia, as the
Cars government has been compelled
to place prohibitive restrictions upon
expectation of breadstuffs. They must
therefore come to US, and as nearly five
hundred million bushels of wheat were
parpered 10 the United States this year
We shall no doubt be able to supply
their wants.

BS" The Republicans in the West
Virginia Legislature are evidently de-
termined upon some trick to elect a u.

agitating the question with considerable
vigor, and it is probable, as they claim,
that the 10 Republican members of the
Legislature can determine the question
on the Joint ballot.

after
She happened to have occasion 10 90 to
Southampton, and while walking out, saw
in shop window a locket, the facsimile
of the one she lost. She entered the shop.
and asked to look at it closer, and inquired
If it opened. The woman SAID it did not
But Mrs. Dunn pressed spring, and there
was the face of son she had lost, and in
whose memory she had the iocket made.
Upon her claiming it, the woman said that
soldiers wife, just come from Australia,
