Taxation Of Dogs.

Mr.. Editor The claims of sheep upon
the interests Of our agriculturst are so gen.
orally admitted that It would be folly for
me to attempt to depreciate their worth.
Deeply impressed as l am with the good
thaf must result from the passage of such
Judiclous laws as would encourage the rear
ing OF sheep in the county, think every
falr-minded man and right thinking citizen
should not hesitate to indorse and ratify
whatever laws that would tend to promote
that end, but urge that they not ignore
comparison with what is equitable, just and
constitutional. At the outset, cannot see
what indemnity there will be afforded to
sheep raisers simply because there is tax
imposed upon our faithful and affectionate
dogs. For l believe that the intellectual
powers OF one of those animals would fail
him in the attempt to comprehend that in
boris tiocks his master is required 10 pay an
exorbitant tax upon him, and do not think
his vicious propensity toward sheep would
be lessened in the least. When we view
the question in this light its absurdity be-
comes SO apparent that we are led to ex-
claim, "Oh, Judgment! Thou art fled to
british beasts and men have lost their rea-
SON." Oh, but you say the number OF dogs
will be diminished; that you intend to tax
the unnecessary surplus out of existence;
that they are nuisance, which indeed does
not seem TO be in accordance with the prin-
ciple upon which the basis of taxation is
founded. AS our legislative bodies have on
a previous occasion passed laws TO the effect
that all property shall be taxed in proper
ton to its real value, and now to pass u law
providing for the taxation of what they
themselves have termed a nuisance, seems
to be really preposterous, and will now
give my opinion for all 1t is worth, that
should such law be passed its validity
will undergo the severest tests, for so long
as own dog 10y the way which do not
do) and keep him under my immediate tute-
lage, for constable to come on my premises
and in defiance Of my orders to kill him, to
say nothing Of the audacity Of such a pro-
ceedng would be simply supercilious and
intolcrable, as | am persuaded that there is
no law which provides for the destruction
of property on the owner Of such property
refusing to pay the tax thereon. G. +.

We lay her in the silent tomb,
Sweet blossom of day;
We just began to view thy bloom,
When thou art called away
Friendship and love have done their last,
And now can do no more;
The bitterness of death is past,
And all thy sufferings DER.
Thy gentle spirit passd away
Mid pain the most severe;
So great we could not wish thy stay
A moment longer here.
Thou minglest now in that bright throng
Around the eternal throne.
And join'st the everlasting song
With those before thee gone
Oh, who could wish thy longer stay
In such world as this,
Since thou hast gan'd the realms of day
And pure, undying bliss?
Farewell, dear husband, l am at rest,
And shall forever be;
| could not stay with you on earth,
But you can come 10 me.

sudden Death.--The many warm friends
of Rev. Father Francis E. Boyle in this
county will no doubt be shocked and panied
at the announcement of his sudden death,
which occurred at Providence Hospital,
Washington, ID. c.. on Monday last, of apo
plexy. A successful operation for the re-
moval of stone from the bladder had just
been performed upon him while under the
influence of ether, and while the doctors
were congratulating themselves upon the
success of the operation, the patient sud-
denly, without an exclamation, threw back
his head, his face became blue, the veins
swollen, and before anything could be done
to relieve him, he was dead
Father Boyle was in charge of st. Mary's
Church at this place in 1851 and for some
time afterwards During his sojourn among
us he was a general favorite with all de-
nominations, and since his removal to Wash
ington he has been in the habit Of frequently
visiting his many friends in this county.

DOES ADVERTISING PAY?

There is scarcely day in the yea, that we are not
asked whether it pays to advertise. the questioner
a merchant it depends very much on his methods Of
business-his stock and his Of using an adver
tisement. Continuous advertising to be profitable
MUST BE TRUTHFUL. There are certain class of
people who take for truthful statement any thing the
advertiser may publish. When one advertiser has
ceased to lure them another with high sounding
promises attract their patronage The class refer
by constitute small percentage. The largest
portion. however, of buyers only be fooled
MUST BE TRUTHFUL to make it pay In other
words. IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE WHAT
you advertise. We suppose there have been no less
than ten of he largest Stock of Cloth
ing in the City," which the advertisers knew was true
only in case, OURS for we undoubtedly have
nearly If not fully much stock as any OTHER TWO
ing don't pay-for man must be blind who cannot see
in five minute inspection tour that he has been fooled
he looks for the largest stock outside Of house.
Another style of advertising that has had its the
habit of announcing thousand suits of kind coming
from house that never had thousand suits on hand
OF ALL KINDS in their at one time We told you
yesterday had the TRUE Blue Serges at thirteen dol
lars per suit IN ALL SIZES. There may be one man
out of Thousand cannot fit Giant that ought
to be in a museum, but that is THE ONLY exception
hence when you call for you will not receive the an
swer that sorry out Of your size." We
always have what advertise and we believe that is
why our advertising pays. Then again there is another
point which we reserve for tomorrow.
