With this issue the CAPITAL en-
ters upon its twelfth volume with
encouraging prospects. Like al
new enterprises, it has had it's strug-
gle but we are happy to say it ia
out Of its swaddling clothes aud is
now able to stand alone. From the
beginning, THE CAPITAL has en-
joyed fair measure of prosperity,
for which we take occasion to- make
our grateful Acknowledgements to our
friends and the public for their
generous support, and shall continue
to merit their approval. We have
had many evidences of their kind
ness aud appreciation, and could
not be- insensible to them. The
CAPITAL will always be found on the
side of the people, and against mon
opoly and wrong doing, aud will
not hesitate to expose it, wherever
found-in State county or munich
pal government. We have labored
hard to make IHE CAPITAL an in
terestipg, local family newspaper ,
ohronicling as far as possible all
the local events Of our city and
county, and from the encourage
ment we have received from our
many readers, we are gratified to
know that our efforts have uot been
in vair.

It 10 not surprising that young
men without experience, who have
had no healthful home influences,
and who are intoxicated by their
first taste of so called pleasures Of
life, says the Boston Saturday EVem-
ina Gazette, are occasionally led as
tray and become dishonest; but it is
astonishing that men who have been
long familiar with the best elements
of business, professional and social
life should stoop to acts that will
place them among the criminal
Glasses, blast their reputation for
ever, and bring sorrow, disgrace,
disaster and poverty to those whom
they should protect and honor.
But the records too often show
that persons Of maturity are as
easily dazzled by the allursments Of
extravaganza living as are those
whose years offer some excuse for
their reconsideration and foolish
course. Surely all who live beyond
their means, If they have any sense
It all, must know that their posi-
tons are not bettered BY taking
what does not belong to them. An
exposure of their misdeeds will come
sooner or later, for they must be
fools indeed il they suppose that .
eonvulsion of nature will release
them from their embarrassment.
1t is better to face the world as
an unsuccessful man than os thief
or : forger, for the defeated soldier
always retains his self-respect, even
il be does not receive the most conr-
taous attention from those who have
Won the prizes in the battle OF life.
Il Is easier to suffer the patronage
Of tho purss-prOud man than to en-
dure the contempt Of former asse-
ciates as tho occupant Of . prison
cell.
Men should learn that no amount
ii brief glory acquired By dishonest
social display can compensate for

Sheep Shearings.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman writes: My experience for
thirty years proves the protective power
of bells on sheep. 1 have kept sheep
all that time mile from home, beside
road constantly travelled By dogs, and
have never lost sheep by them. while
there is not flock in the vicinity which
has not been raided. When hear of q
case l have taken pains to ascertain If
the sheep had bells on, which has not
been the fact in single instance. Fifty
bells costing not over eight dollars with
straps and buckles complete. are enough
for hundred sheep. and about two dob
lars year will keep the bells good =
in case you get the cow-bel1 pattern,
which are cast on a staple through
which the strap passes. and not those
cast with shank, which passes through
the strap. leaving q small part OF the
strap entire. The wear coming oall the
time on one place, the corners of the
shank and wire soon cut the strap of.
This kind are hardly worth the trouble
of putting on.

went. Sure enough. there were; the
pieces of sugar corn the beast had

garden. We divided into three COM

THE general region of the previous after
noon and found plenty of signs. The
'thicket was impossible to be passed by
a human being in any other than the too
noisy way of cutting, or by crawling on
our bellies under the mass. The masses
of vines, bushes and, worst of all. grass

long, narrow leaves were on their edges
as sharp as knives The density of the
growth alone killed out the leaves lower
down, and the thicket was tunneled with
