ACCORDING to the report OF the Agricul-
tural Department about 10000 sheep
were killed by dogs in 1882. From seven
States and Territories there are no returns.
The same authority gives s25S as the aver
age value OF sheep for the year-over
s35O,OOO worth OF good mutton literally
'thrown to the dogs. in single year. But
the amount was probably much greater.
West virginia's contribution is put down
at 2,lSo, ohio's at l4,7O9, Pennsylvania
At $685. ,9s4 for the three States. West
Virginia is hardly given credit for all she
is entitled to, but 1t is worth our while to
consider whether we are not paying too
high price for our sport Ohio probably
heads the list.

PHILADELPHIA, March 13-Fhe Metho-

Lancaster tomorrow, will be Of general
interest to MethodistS on account OF the
many and important pastoral changes to
be made in many Of the churches. Time
was when the Bishop and his Council Of
Presiding Elders from the different dis
tricts made up the list Of appointments
without allowing outside interference.
Things ore changed now and the large
churches make arrangemenuiwith promi-

that session the Conference passed n reso.

transfers q preachers from other to the
Philadelphia Conference, because there
were already more preachers In this Con.

brethren were bound ITO get left" The

"a YEXED QUESTION
OF LATE IN ENGLISH LEGISLATION
Brought Home to West ylrslnlan. by CommuDl.
cation from his HIshaess the Earl Of DGl.
heuiist to HI. Etesll,nsy Cor. Jackson.
M The old "Annual Blister"

There Is question which stands in
much the same relation to the proceedings
Of the English Parliament as the dog law
does to the West Virginia Legislature, at
least as regards the time consumed in it's
consideration at each session. The Fairy
Queen in Gilbert & sullivan's latest opera
says Of Iolanths, when he Is about 10 enter
Parliament ........
He shall prick that annual blister
Marriage with deceased wifss sister."
This question was introduced to the at
tention Of Governor Jackson by an ep;stle
received yesterday from the Earl OF Dal.
housie, dated 10 Charles street, Berkeley
Square, London, February 10. The Earl
informs the Governor that In the last ses.
sion OF the Parliament OF Great Britain
and Ireland, q bill for legalizing marriage
with deceased wiie's sister was defeated
In the House Of Lords by majority OF
1872 to l2S.
He reiers to an extract from a church
paper, In which an American clergyman
gives his opinion and observation, which
he encloses, and he asks the Governor to
send any information beating on the SUBJ
ject which may be at band.
The extracts enclosed purport to be the
views and experience Of an American
clergyman, to the effect that the legalizing
OF such marriages as those mentioned has
had baneful influence.
Governor Jackson told a reporter yester-
day that the question was one on which he
had no opinion. When he received the
communication, however, he procured
documents bearing on the question, among
them pamphlet by an Episcopalian min
ister, favoring the repeal OF existing Ameri-
can laws, and copy OF the proceedings OF
the last general council OF the Protestant
Episcopal Church. This council had an
exhaustive argument on the subject at its
last meeting. but finally deferred action
until next fall. -.
The Governor also received letter from
Bishop Kain in response 10 an in
quiry concerning his views on the subject.
The Bishop says that marriages between
brother and sister.in.law are forbidden in
the Catholic Church, and takes the posi-
ton that this policy rests on sound basis,
going at some length into the reasons for
It He gives it as his opinion, however,
that prohibitive law In one or more
States Of the Union would not be wise, un-
less the action was general, for the reason
that contiguous States would have different
laws, thus attording easy means OF evasion.
The Governor means to give the subject
careful attention. and would no doubt be
glad to hear from any person who has
views to advance on the subject.
