he further said that the rapid decline OF
wool and the indifference OF buyers With
in the past two months had made the
most unsatisfactory market he had ever
known, there being absolutely no demand

A Sheep.Thiers Punishment.

We cannot for the moment call to mind
the particular of the Russian criminal
code in virture of which sentence was re-
centence pronounced in case of sheep
stealing by judge in the Perm govern
ment Yet, remembering how literally
the laws are interpreted by the Gar judi
cialfunctionaries, it would be impairment
to express doubt as to that sentences
strict conformity with some sagacious
statute which happens to have escaped
our attention. A peasant accused one of
his neighbors of stealing sheep from his
flock and of slaughtering it, thereby
causing its lawful owner prejudice to the
amount of rubies. In answer to this
charge the defendant alleged that, one
afternoon, sheep, with which he had no
previous acquaintance, had certainly
called upon him in promiscuous kind of
way, whereupon he, regarding its visit
as providentially intended to supply
vacuum in his larder, had promptly con-
verted it into mutton by the usual process.
Taking this frank confession into consid-
Grafton as an alternating circum-
stance" the learned Judge pronounced
the following sentence: "The defendant
shall, first Of all, receive twenty blows
from rod. He shall then be arrayed in
the skin of the murdered sheep, and be
conducted, to the beatof drums, through
all the streets of the village At the door
of each house he shall be halted, and the
respective HORSEPOWER shall deal him a
blow with stick" AS the condemned
peasant, by declining to appeal to a
higher court against this sentence, tacitly
admitted its justice, it was forthwith car
ried out to the manifest enjoyment of his
acknowledges. -LonCo1a Telegraph
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1880-08-06
Decadence of Rural Population.

The published returns of the census
just taken bring out several important
facts. They show that the population
of the Western States has increased
much faster than that of the Eastern
that the population of the cities has in
creased faster than that of the rural
districts, and that the percentage of in
crease in cities has been, with very few
exceptions, in proportion to their popu-
lation when the last census was taken.
But the most remarkable showing made
by these reports is in respect to the pop
ulation of farming districts in the West
ern States that have been longest set
tied. Strange as it may appear, there
has been a considerable decrease in the
agricultural population of many of the
best farming counties of Ohio, Illinois
and Wisconsin. If the aggregate popu-
lation is larger in 1880 than it was in
1870, it is generally owing to the growth
of one or more large towns. In several
instances one city or town in a county
has gained more inhabitants during the
past ten years than the county in which
it is situated has. In other words, a
large town has grown at the expense of
the farming towns in the vicinity of it.
Counties that contain no cities or large
towns have shown little or no increase
in population, and some of them have
sustained considerable loss. Chicago

SmOthered in Their Beds.

A Geneva correspondent of the London
Times writes: A strange occurrence
happened few days ago at ST. Cierge,
village in Jura. The principal room
of an auberge there, known as the Cert,
was lighted by a hanging petroleum
lamp, above which had been placed, for
the protection of the ceiling, a metal
plate. In course of time the woodwork
above the plate became desiccated, and
one evening last week it took fire, and
when the inn-keeper and his family re-
tired to rest, was aglow-a fact, however,
which they do not seem to have noticed.
From the ceiling the fire was communi-
Gated to the room above, and was first
discovered by neighbor, who, early
next morning, observed smoke issuing
from the auberge door, gave an alarm,
when, as none of the inmates could be
reused, the door was broken open. The
fire, having gone On smoldering without
bursting into flame, had done little
material damage, and was easily extin-
guished; but all the people in the house
the aubergiste, his wife, and sister
were dead. After the manner of country
people, who have often horror of fresh
air, they had firmly closed their windows
before going to bed, and the smoke.
having no exit, had asphyxiated every
one of them.

The Democratic Record Dissected

1t is amusing just now to hear some
gentlemen here boasting of their prin-
ciple, and charging everybody else with
want of it. They have not been Sc
particular in the past.
In 1861 they supported a platform
which declared it unlawful to coerce q
State.
In 1862 they declared themselves in
favor of vigorous prosecution of the
war.
In 1864 they intimated that the wal
was failure.
In 1866 they rejoiced in its success.
In 1868 they opposed the constitu-
tional amendments.
In 1870 they accepted them as neces-
sary, and in 1872 they approved them
as wise.
Nor have they always been so fearful
~ honest on the money question.
In 1862 they denounced the Legal
Tender act as unconstitutional.
In 1868 they shouted themselves
hoarse in favor Of doctrine as to green
backs far more extreme than Mr.. Fields.
In 1872 they pledged themselves tc
resumption Of specie payments.
In 1876 they advocated the uncondi-
tional repeal of the Resumption act.
Such are and have been the " time
honored principles" of this Democratic
party. All things to all men, and q
unit on but one, and that an undyin9

ty.-DetqOit Post and Tribune.
