PrineviIle News: Charlie Hanes and
"Frerch Louie,'' who are taking care of
"a band of Nye & Allen's sheep near
Eagle Rock. came near getting fatal
dose of poison. One of their dogs got
hold of a strychnine bate in some un-
known manner, and when the boys dis
covered him in fit, they went to work to
dose him with salt, by which means
the dog was saved. They must have in
hailed the animals breath, for soon they
both felt the effects of strychnine.
Charlie was the first to show it. and inn
mediately swallowed a dose of strong
camphor, which relieved him. Then

rAE DALLEs MARKErs.

THURSDAY, Feb. 2.-Tratfic has been
nearly suspended on account of the
pinching cold wintry>>weather, and the
markets are lifeless in consequence.
There is a complaint OF scarcity of
vegetables and also in farm products,
such as eggs and butter. Eggs are firm
and prices are ruling higher than here
tofore this season. Fresh butter is in
better demand and is trifie dearer.
There is a fair supply of potatoes, but
should the cold weather continue much
longer prices will be marked up. Al
ready there is very firm tendency for
an advance soon. Poultry is scarcer
and dearer with good inquiry.
The beef and mutton market is steady,
although there is better inquiry for
good fat beeves and mutton sheep. Fat
hogs are in better request owing to a
scarcity, and for prime porkers an ad-
vance on former quotations could be
realized. The long snow period has
given rise to better demand for mill
feed and hay, and stiffening in prices
has taken place within the past few
days in consequence.
The wheat market remains quiet and
seemingly lifeless. Advices from abroad
are no more encouraging than month
ago. Valley mills have cut down price.

We give this bill entire today as in
troduced by Mr.. Cross Jan. 11th. 1t
will be read with interest, as it is one of
the most important measures in the
assembly. While on this subject we
may say that the fees of the sheriff in
this county the past two months aggre-
gated $s02 for county business alone
the clerks fees and salary for the same
period of time was $l,36S. Other fees
coming to the Office for the two months
make the aggregate something like
$1,000 for the clerk for county business
during the two months
