SHEEP KILLED BY DoGs.-Thc half-starved
dog is again raiding among the sheep in the up
per part of the county. Mr.. John II. Grafton
living near Chestnut HILL and Messrs. william
Allen and Beujaman Rigdon, of 9Th district,
have each lost some very fine sheep, killed by
these worthless animals. A great many sheep
have been killed within the last year, and the
only satisfaction obtained by the owners was the
OCCASIONAL chance of getting shot at the dog.
Last Friday afternoon five dogs attacked DR..
A. 8. Winchester's sLeep, near Fountain Green.
They crippled one, but the Doctor retaliated
with load of shot, wounding one of the dogs
and frightening all Of them away. On Saturday
two of the same dogs returned, but the sheep
escaped by taking refuge in the sheep fold
These dogs are evidently professional sheep-kill-
ers, and should be shot or hanged without
trial.

A letter from Tunis, Africa, Gays
| must tell you Of our visit to the
Protestant cemetery to see the grave
Of John Howard Payne, the immor-
tai author of "Hone, Sweet Home"
This man who never knew the joys
OF real home died alone and unhappy
in this far.off land. We called upon
our American consulat Tunis, who
told us some interesting things in
connection with the last years of our
unfortunate countryman, who died ip
the same room In which we were then
sitting.
In a small inclosure, planted with
cypress trees, and shu in with high
walls, we found this quie, resting
place of the dead, among many tombs
Of foreign consuls, English, German
and other nationalities. Our atten-
ton was first attracted to tho plain
white marble slab, resting on a square
foundation, and overhnng by an i'm
mense pepper tree whose graceful
branches reminded us OF tho weeping
willow Of our own land. We stood
with uncovered heads as we read the
simple inscription: Hg p "a
