Dogs.

BY the common law it is said a
dog had no value, and could not be
the subject of larceny. Perhaps, in
most of our States, this would not
be regarded as law, and in England
q dog has been formally changed
into property by an net Of Parlia-
ment. If the farmer knows, or has
good reason to suspect, that @ dog
or any other animal belonging to
him is dangerous, he must keep it
confined; and he is liable for any
damage done to another person by
reason of his failure to do SO. This
is the general rule. However, in a
sparsely settled country and for pur-
poses of protection larger freedom
may properly and legally be allow
ed to dangerous animals. If even
an ordinarily gentle animal is ille-
gally allowed to be upon public
road, or on the land Of another, and
there Injuries person or property, the
owner is liable to pay for the injury.
If the owner Of a dog has knowledge
or reason TO believe, that it kills
sheep, he will be liable to pay for
the sheep his dog may kill. The
owner Of the sheep may lawfully
kill the dog, if he finds him on his
place or in the act Of killing his
sheep. But this principle does not
seem to apply to domestic fowls
caught depredating upon a neigh
boris garden. The owner Of q bull,
or horse, or other animal, known to
be dangerous, is responsible for the
injuries it may cause upon a public
way, although the owner is himself
driving it. He drives it upon the
public thoroughfare at his peril

The Great Vice Of New Eng
land.
Providence Jo urnai.

Forty thousand dollars worth Of
chewing gum is gathered in the
state Of Maine every year. In Ok
ford county is man who makes it
his business TO collect spruce gum.
Every year he buys from seven to
nine tons. The gum is found chief
ly in the region about Umbagog
lake, and about the Rangely lakes.
A number of men do nothing in the
winter season except collect gum.
With snow shoes, ak, and a sheboy-
gan, on which is packed the gum,
they spend days and nights in the
woods. The clear, pure Jumps ol
the gum are sold in their native

Who Punches the Coin.

A reporter asked James N. Samp-
son, the veteran detective employed
at the sub-treasury, to what the govs
crnment detectives attributed the
sudden increase in the number 81
clipped and punched coins, which
has attracted 80 much attention Of
late. Mr.. sampson said that II NJ
perfectly we'll known that nine
tenths of the punching was done in
this city by Cubans. A number or
silver coin were clamped together in 4
roll, and in lees time than it takes 10
write an account Of it i hole Is drill
cd through the whole lot. The val

amounts to one twenty fifth Of the
value of the coin, SO that for every
roll of twenty-five quarter dollars
the value of one quarter is obtained
in moment by running the drill
through the roll. Mr.. Sampson saws
that many Of the puncturcd coins
come from Mexico and South Amer.
lea, where our silver circulates free
ly, and rarely escapes mutilation.
Several attempts have been made Of
late wears to break up the systemat-
ic punching of coins, with but slight
success, only two convictions having
been made in ten years. Mr.. Samp-
son remarked that while the busi-
ness of punching and filing was al
most wholly in the hands of the Gu
bans, the business of sweating gold
coins by shaking them up in a buck.
skin bag is attributed to the deni-
zens of Chatham street. BY shak-
ing a bag containing 100 eagles for
three hours, the result in gold dust
will be worth $40. Mr.. Floyd, of
the assay office, said the government
rules relating to light weight gold
coins, were detective, and tended to
keep such coin in circulation.
When coin less than twenty years
old is abraded to more than ! per
cent. of its value it is stamped with
and "L" at the sub-treasury and re-
turned to whoever offers it, instead
OF the mint. The object is to force
the holder to take it to the mint or
assay office to be sold at its real val
he. instead of that it goes into circu-
lation again. The trouble is that
congress has never made any proyis-
ion for redeeming mutilated or even
abraded coin Many persons think
that ali pieces that have been worn
down beyond recognition in actual
service should be redeemed in paper
ut par. The difficulty is to tell when
a piece has been worn down to that
through actual wear or by
sweating or other artificial means.
Mr.. Floyd does not consider that the
mutilation of silver coin does not
need government interference, be-
cause unlike the abrasion Of gold,
the mutilation ofa silver coin can be
detected at once. and it rests with
the public to drive such coins out Of

Maine produces forty thousand dol

from which it is distributed to the
various outlying factory villages,
where as stated before, it is in good
demrnd.
Spruce gum is adulterated and
those who adulterate take the trouo-
lie to fashion the pieces of gum to
appear like those taken in a pure
state from the tree. The ingredient
of adulteration is supposed to be the
gum of the dine tree.

forget the day when we rugged him
out with bran new suit of clothes
and paper collar to 60 to Sioux
City and confer with the authorities
OF the company. He looked a.
smiling as girl on the arm oi
her first fellow. But grief came
after, and the smile changed ia
wrinkles Of woe and sorrow. The
people in the county found out
what the chairman had been doing
country people always damn and
fight railroads on general princi-
ples-cams to town and limited tar
and feathers and rope and a
few such things liable to give fel-
low the chills. Last November the
ssine old chairman came up again
for Office, but his constituency
thought that he would have better
health at home. Such is mans in
humanity to man. He was used
and then thrown away. But to
knock any sympathy this little re-
cital of facts may have created for
the fellow, we know it to be for the
good of the county to have him
back in private life, for the party's
sake and otherwise.
The wedding boom has struck
Elk Point bad. The run on white
wells and such matrimonial toggery
have exhausted several invoices al
ready this fall. One wise old OBJ
server informed us that he feared
the thing would become terribly epi-
demic and that it would catch the
whole stock of old maids, SO usefnl
in Sunday schools and as house
keepers when their wives took their
usual summer jaunts. He says if it
gets among the children it will be
disastrous. We saw six couples gall
loping around who had not been
married three days, and saw many
others who were chuck full Of matri-
monial intentions. While in Elk
Point we met the premium grum-
bier of the world. He travelled for
some mandatory. and he seems
to delight in hurting the feelings of
others. Nothing satisfied him. He
grumbled at the complexion Of the
waiter girls hair, and found fault
with the size of the pancakes. He
slipped up on the sidewalk three
blocks from the hotel and laid it all
to the landlord and wanted dis
count on his bill. When the wait
ress was singing the bill of fare, he
checked her to ask the ingredients
of the dishes, and wanted her to
keep an account of his order, as he
could not eat all they had, and of
course expected a discount. When
about half through his meal he
went into the office and wanted to
know what the landlord would
charge him if he pulled off then,
but when told there was no discount
he returned and ate everything with
in reach. He is certainly the small
est man for his size we have ever
met. If sold by weight for one
thousand dollars a pound, he
wouldn't bring enough to buy quill
toothpick. MACK.
