The American Farmer says that
the following is well authenticated
by minister of the Gospel in Vir-
ginia:
GA dog was shot and killed in
the act of destroying sheep. AS it
came from county in which a dog
law was carefully enforced, it wore
a registered collar with its owners s
name engl ayed on it. This enabled
the tracing of the dog, and it was
20 miles from home and was a
strange dog in strange land but
q sbeep,killing dog, though having
an unbemished character at his
distant home"
Our numerous sheep'r 81 n
friends hereabouts will see from
the above that no dog can be trust
ed with impunity in the neighbors
hood of the sheep range.

her attorneys when they entered. The
charge to the jury treated of her pres.
ent insanity and nothing else. The
Judge stated that neither in the history
Of American nor English Jurisprudence
was there a case like that of Alice
Mitchelfs. As to the medical experts,
he read from an eminent law writer
who said that in matters physiological,
there is no hypothesis so monstrous that
an expert cannot be found to swear to it
on the stand. When the jury retired
Alice Mitchell engaged in a sprightly
conversation with one of the attorneys
and became facetious, while her fathers
and brothers faces wore a look of terri
Bile anxiety. Once a loud burst of
laughter escaped her. Neither the gal
lows nor the lunatic asylum with its
horrors has any terror for this wonder
fully constructed girl. When the jury
returned a verdict declaring her insane
her fathers frame shook with emotion.
Miss Mitchell looked at the jury, then
at her father, and smiled. An order
was entered for her conflneme mt in the
lunatic asylum at Bolivar. The young
lady seemed highly amused at being
ing dubbed lunatic as she left the
courtroom for the jail.
If Alice Mitchell should recover she
will then be placed on trial for murder,
and then she can plead that she was
insane at the time of the committing of
the crime. II she should be able to
sustain her plea then she would go
scot free. In the opinion of the ex-
perts, however, her insanity is pro-
gressive and it is only n question of
time when this victim of erratic mania
will be a drivelling idiot through the
decay of brain tissue
Lille johnson was indicted jointly
with Alice Mitchell. and this finding Of
the jury will probably cause a cessa-
tion of the prosecution in her case
Miss johnson has been a constant at
tendant during the trial, and she has
displayed great anxiety on its outcome.
1t is said that this young lady will die
of consumption in short time.
Miss Mitchell passed the evening
quietly in her room at the Jail, where
she had her mother as a companion.
She expressed a wish TO see Freda
Wards grave before being taken to
but beyond that she seemed to
be absolutely Indifferent as to what |

mate the United States Governnent ON
the Tolls Questionable Press DepFseats
Offensive Measures.
TORONTO, Aug. 1.-The power re-
posed in the hands of President Harri-
son to impose tolls on Canadian vessels
passing through the 500 canal Is the
uppermost subject Of interest through
out the eastern section of Canada.
Nearly all the newspapers unite in de-
fense of the action of the Canadian gov.
ernment on the tolls question. They
claim with emphasis that Canadian
boats were never permitted the free
use of American canals; that a boat en-
tering the Erie canal at Buffalo with
lumber was refused permission to pro
ceed with her cargo, and that what was
offered and agreed to by the United
States government was never carried
out.
A great many people feel that, in the
event of President Harrison imposing
tolls on Canadian vessels passing the
500, Canada's opportunity to pay back
American discrimination will have .,.
rived The st. Clair Flats canal is fp
Canadian territory, they say, and 50.
too, is the Lime Kiln crossing between
Bois Blanc island and Amherstburg,
and to stop the traffic there means tc
shut off all deep-draft vessels, such as
those that carry the big cargoes to
Buffalo.
The leading newspapers mildly dep
recate an offensive warfare, even Il
President Harrison goes to the extreme
limits of his newly granted power; but
all favor ''firm attitude"
The Globe of this city gives the views
of the more conservatively-inclined in
the sentence: Our Representatives
ought to be friendly and yet firm; not
standing upon technicalities, but NOT
any undoubted right on
interest"
The first move in the game of retail
iation will be awaited with interest
not unmixed with considerable anxiety.

PRESIDENT HARRISON has proclaimed
Friday, October 81, as the 4OOth anni-
versary of the discovery of America,
and as a general holiday in the United
States. This is pursuant to a joint reso-
luton of the senate and house of repre-
sentatives approved June 90. This
change from October II, which is often
stated as the date of discovery by Co
lumbus, is in harmony with the allow
ance made other dates to accommo-
date them to the new style of reckon
ing by the Gregorian calendar. That is.

POWDERLY'S OPINION.

He Docs Not Think the Pinkertons the
Saints they are Claimed to be by Their
Employers.
WASHINGTON, July 3O-Mr. Powderly,
master workman of the Knights of La
Dor, appeared before the Pinkerton in
vestigation committee yesterday. He
said he had some personal knowledge
of cases where violence had been exer-
cised by Pinkerton men, and had heard
of other cases from what he considered
good authority. He read statement
denying the allegations of the Pinker-
toms before the committee.
Mr.. Powderly went on to say that hs
had been investigating the character
of the Pinlerton men, and thus far had
found eight of them of doubtful char
acter, despite the Pinkertons' testi-
mony as to the high character of their
employees. One of them, Webb, was
charged with wife-murder. Four with
burglary, two with wife-beating and
one with arson. Mr.. Powderly con-
tinued by showing that the Pinkertons
acted as spies and obtained admission
to labor councils on false pretenses.
