Assassination OF Rulers.

Within n period Of seventeen years
two Presidents of the United states
have fallen by the hands of assassins.
The full significance of the fact will be
more completely realized when 1t is
remembered that, during the fourteen
hundred years that have elapsed since
the foundation of the French kingdom
under Clovis, but two of her sovereigns
have fallen by assassination, and that
In England, from the time of Egbert,
who was the first to bear the title of
King of England lin So7). to the pres
cut, but one case of unnistakable,
open assassination has occurred. Ed
ward the Martyr was stabbed in the
back while drinking a cup of mead on
horseback. William Rufus, II will be
remembered, was pierced by all arrow
while hunting in the forest, but it is
uncertain whether the arrow was dis
charged accidentally or Intentionally.
Even If we give the worst interpre-
tation to the death of the latter, we
have but two cases Of assassination in
in u period of some thousand aud fifty
years. Others of the English sover-
eigns, however fell by violence. Edw'd
H. and Richard III, were secretly
smothered after being deposed. Henry
VI, died in the Tower after the assas-
sion of Edward ~ but in what man
ner is not known Young Edward v.
was murdered in the Tower by order
of Richard I'LL, before, however, his
reign fairly began. This record is
bloody enough, and to 1t should be
added, perhaps, the instance of Spen
Ger Perceval, First Lord of the Treas
ury and Premier, who was shot down
in the lobby of the House Of Com
mons in 1872; but we find only four
monarchs perishing from unlawful
violence in more than a thousand
years of English history, and two
rightful rulers in the short period OF
seventeen years in our own history
struck down by assassins! When it is
! remembered that English and Frencl,
| history covers many periods of great
disorder, that there were numerous
wars, rebelions, and contentious fol
the crown. aud that the age of polit
ical violence is now commonly sup,
posed To have gone by, the contrast
between the two records is startling
and full of matter for reflection, -AD

How to Catch Sheep-Killing Dogs.

The following ingenious device for trap
ping sheep-kllling dogs is recommended to
the sheep growers of Augusta, who have
been recently quite heavy losers from the
raids of worthless ours. Let some of them
make the experiment at the first opportu-
nifty and let US hear the result for the ben
fit of others
Having suffered severely from the dep
relations of dogs upon his ep-fold, he
built around a number of sheep that dogs
had killed, an enclosure of rails twelve
feet high and about ten feet square at he
ground, the sides of the trap sloping in
ward until an opening was left about five
feet square. Any dog could easily climb
such sloping fence aud enter the pen,
but not even greyhound could jump out
Of it. In three nights the farmer captur-
ed forty six dogs, including fifteen or
twenty that had never been seen before in
that neighborhood. This, after there had
been public slaughter of all dogs sus-
pected of sheep killing, save one, whose
master could not be convinced of his guilt.
The trap was built for his especial benefit,
and it caught him the first night.

A SOLID FAMILY.-One of the faith
ers' in the old Koiner family tells us that
in Augusta county there are 1876 voters
of the name. Some of them spell their
name Koiner and some Coyner. but
they are all kin and stick together
worse than Methodists. One hundred
and thirty-four of them will vote the
Democratic ticket and two the Readiuster.
We will challenge ally county in the State
to name family with such a record, 1t
follows that Koiner or Coyner candi-
date for anything in Augusta is bound to
win if he belong to the one hundred and
thirty-four. So Maj. Absalom Koiner may
be counted as safe.
