Iatltnde and Potatoes.

All my potatoes are northern grown,
writes Pennsylvania in the American
Garden. He says: 'sFrom years OF ex-
perience have found that northern stock
is far superior to southern in vigor and
yielding qualities. This is more apparent
in the early varieties than in the late
ones because of the fact that the early
dug tubers pass the line of maturity and
are on the down grade to decay before
the planting time comes in spring"

II is lost in the mist OF ages.
In American Notes and Queries" Vol
ume 2, the following appears: The ex-
preston is made use Of by Colonel Munroe
in his Expedition With Mackay's ReRi-
meut.' published IN London IN 1857. In
tho engagement between the forces OF
Gustavus Adolphus and the Austrians tho
Swedish cunners for time had not given
their pieces proper elevation, and their
shot came down among Lord Reay's men,
who were in the service OF tho King OF
Sweden. Munroe did not like this sort OF
play which kept him and his men, as he
expressed l., between the devil and the
deep sea- SO an officer was sent to the
batteries with the request that the guns
shonld be raised, but several of Lord
Keay's soldiers were killed before the mis-
seems to be that he was in q fx-exposed
TO danger from friends as well as foes
and that there was no means of escape"
We are inclined to the opinion that the
phrase liz older than the seventeenth GEN.

situation of the Britons after the Romans
evacuated Britain about the year 40 A. ID.

Very truly, r. L. G.
/. Is there q law which prohibits the
killing OF licensed dogs except IN self
defensel
2. Can licensed dog in Henrico county
be killed for killing sheep in same county,
or in other counties?
8. Can the owner recover value for
licensed dogs killed by an electric car?
/. The law prohibits the killing of all dogs
without good cause. In counties where
they have been made property the killer
can bo prosecuted criminally just as If no
had killed nnother's hog or sheep. In
those counties where they are not made
property by law, while the killer cannot
be proceeded against criminally, he can DO
sued in civil action for damages.
2. There Is statute which allows sheep
killing dogs to be killed by order Of q JUS
tice
3. Owners of dogs in Richmond or Hen
rico. where they have been made property
by statute, can maintain actions for dam
ages against individuals or corporations
for unlawfully or negligeptly killing Thorn,
and according to the dicta Of the Judges
in Davis" case, IS Grattan, this may be
done at the common law, without any
statutory enactment.

RICHMOND, Va, August 9, 1891.
To tie Editor of the Dispatch:
1t has recently been stated I'm the
columns of the DrsPAcrs, l think that
unlimited coinage" and free coinage"
were ono and the same thing. l beg TO
differ. The national Government could
pass law authorizing the purchase of all
the silver that was offered in the market
and coin the came into silver of tho pres
ent weight and fnopess. This would be
what l would call unlimited coinage"
but 1t would be very far from being free
coinage" A free-coinage law 10 one
authorizing any person who has silver
bullion to take it to the mint and have 1t
coined free of charge. In the former case
YOU will readily see that the difference be-
tween the value of the metal contained in
a cold dollar and q silver dollar would
enure to the profit of The Government
(which, of course, ia the Same as tho Uho6
people OF the United States). but in the lat
ter case it would enure to the profit only
Of those who had bullion to sell-chiehy
the sllyer-mins owners and foreign gov
ernments. And it is from the latter source
that danger is to be apprehended II our
country shall determine to enter into the
experiment of FREQ coinage without tho co:
operation of foreign Powers. You will
observe that il is not intended in this srti-
Gle to touch upon the question whether OF
not laws authorizing the purchase OF Sill
yer are tantamount to discrediting that
metal. Yours very truly, ID. L. 8.
