The commissioners of Crawforl county, Pa, were called upon to pay peculiar alaim against the county recently. The law compels the payment of A dog taI in the county, and in case of the kilhnR of sheep by dogs the county is bound to pay the owner of the sheep the amount of dam age he has sustained from sheep- -kiiiug dogs. One of the leading farmers If that township had dog, for which he paid the tax assessed on the animal, thus obtaining the right to keep him for the year. A few nights ago the farmer heard great com motion among his sheep, snd,. hurrying to the enclosure where they were kept, found seven of them dead and one dyiuR, with the farmers own dog tearing at its throat. He made short work of the dog, shooting The next day the farmer went to Meadville aud put in bill against the county for the eight sheep his dog had killed
 "It was my own dog that did the dam. age, I know,n he urged before the board of commissioners, "but I had paid the tax Ito the county on him. If he had killed some other mans sheep the county would have paid for them. He has killed mine and the county is bound to pay mo the same as it would have paid my neighbor if my dog had killed his sheep, l7
 The commissIoners were at first inclined to laugh of the novel claim but when sew eral iawyers agreed that the farmer's claim had good chance of being sustained at law, the commissioners restrained their nairth and paid for the sheep, y f

The lawyers are greatly pleased by the volume, which combines matter of rare usefulness in small space. An es. pecially valuable feature is the side anno- tation of all laws that have been inter preted by the supreme court The revis- ing committee do not seem, so far as examined, to have arrogated to themselves, as have some previous committees, the power to amend and repeal existing laws, aud to enact new ones. -4 le.'r- Er

 ''Such kisses" said the little actress scorn- fully, shaking her golden curls and arrang- ing her rosy lips into delightful pout, t'are not worth having. In fact they are nothing more nor less than hideous parody on the genuine article.n ---.- ,a... 4
 Now, to anybody who did not know the subject of our conversation, such remark as that just made would have been startling. should really be seriously embarrassed if I were not permitted to explain matters, be- cause, as was the only person present at the time my little sunny haired friend gave vent to this sentiment, you will readily see that l might subject myself to unworthy suspicious. E
 The fact is that we were merely discussing the stage kiss, in which susceptible theatre goers are deeply interested, and I was en- -deavoring to extract little information about it from the dainty little lady who was only tco willing to give it.
 1.-The audience imagines, [" she said, "when they see a handsomely dressed young man, good looking; well mustached and altogether stylish hate that word, don't you ?-fer- vently embrace the leading lady of the com pany that the kiss, even though it may not be given with genuine feeling, must, never theless, be agreeable.
