MAKE noes PAT FOR THEIR
MUTTON.

MI. @. b. Boutwell, speaks
right TO the point when he says
we need q more stringent dog.law
in our State.
The sheep men of our comfy
are being aroused. on the subject.
There is scarcely = flock OF sheep
in the vicinity where I live bat
what has been dogged on several
occasions within the year past,
resulting in loss of fifteen per
cent, killed outright and as many
more crippled, Another man
lost one fourth of his entire flock
in two nights time. These are
only two instances Our loss in
this vicinity has been alarmingly
heavy in the year past.
Men say this state of things
must stop; but how 7 that's tie
question TO solve. We must
have some kind of protection.
We want a dog law. and one that
can be enforced. People tell ms
that dogs are not property, aud
therefore they ought not TO he
taxed but that is inst what must
he made out Of them-to be tax
| ed like other stock Kill OF injured
10y dogs, rs is done in Ohio,
where dogs have TO pay Tor their
mutton. This question is not .
Que sided one, 10y any means.
When the dog becomes property
he get the protection that other
property gets. All owners OF
dogs should be liable for damage
done to stock; they should also
be liable for damage done by
stray dogs barbored on their
premises, as il 10 these stray
dogs that get most blame with
us. Only let it be known that
the great State oil Missouri will
protect this branch of industry
Then she will have taken one
step in the tight direction
Brother sheep men, speak ou'
and let yoar wants be known
Our legislators are not to blame
for not making us a law until they
understand the need of one.
Thanks TO Mr.. Boutwell, for the
move he has started in favor OF
the dog.law.
Since writing the above, one
of my neighbors has informed me
that dogs have been among his
sheep, killing one before finding
them out

The people Of Missouri would b.
pleased TO hear from bIm. The
II. & ST. Joe railroad company
has made n proffer of payment
OF its entire indebtedness to the
State, and it is well-known that
the interest on the bonds has al

they will be very dear and scarce

severe cold weather has not only
injured very seriously the next

WHY THE WORD WAS NOT TRANSLATED.
4 contributor TO 4 religious paper says:
A friend has directed my attention to an
article in y,,ur paper dated June 8 concern
iny the transfer IF the Greek word ''ba1,-
tizo" ami its cognate terms by the lranslators
ot the Nufgatc, instead Of translating tile
said word and terms by the Latin word int
merge and its cognate terms. Now in my
opinion there can he no doubt in the minds
Of persons sufficiently contersant with those
languages to judge that IN the Greek language
the Greek word "baptizo" aud its coglla.c
terms. and in the Latin language the
Latin word ''immergo' and its co%nate
terms. are IN their primary sense precisely
equivalent in signitic:ltion. But what was
wanted was Il wnrtl that, beside thc>i,lea uf
immersion, should also be understood to
connote an immersion performed us Il re-
fiNiDuS rite, i'll pursuance OF the command Of
tile Lord Jesus, tile Christ, upon the profcs-
sion OF faith in Him, 1T distinction from an
ordinary immersion that had no such refer
ence- Tile Latin translators chose for this
purpose, and Tor this reason, the Greek word
''baptizo"; and some OF the earlier English
translatUrs the same word. with an Eli
Glish termination, and transferred and
and English languages as Il new
word. giving it the necessary connotatian
mentioned. The tfanslators Of the King James
version followed the example OF the said
English trans1atOrs i'll transferring the word,
but not for the same purpose and reason, nor
with the said necessary cOnnOtatiOn exactly.
This procedure was in all the three cases. III
