NEW ZEALAND DOGS.

Remarkable Intelligence shown by
the Animals.
New Zealand is,a country that delies
largely upon the labor of dogs as op-
posed to the toll of men, says the New
York Mail and Express. "A man with
several dogs, trained one and all to- a
proper pitch, can cope with the duties
of large number of men without dogs
in any work that is purely: pastoral.
Last year sheep dogs were an impor-
tantfactorin the care of 16, ,0O0, 900 sheep,
which produced sO,O0O.OOO pounds of
wool. The dogs are almost as great
sight as the sheep. on the, four annual
events of mastering, named respective
ly shearing muster (November), strag-
glers' muster (February), weaving
muster (March) autumn muster (May).
The muster of every sheep on the run
is imperative, and those are rare excep-
tions. where less than four musters are.
deemed sufficient. A muster is arranged
on recognized lines. AS nearly as pos
sible the men work in line, within sight.
of each other. The top man drives the
sheep gradually down to the man below
him, who passes them on till they reach
the man working the flats. There is no
precise rule, as each man can keep his
mob of sheep till the, beat is mustered.
All this time the dogs have, been work
ing in every course on the beat, not en-,
masse, but each in his own sphere, as the
shepherd commands. Should he have
half a dozen dogs they would comprise
two Hheading" or leading" dogs, two
driving" or "huntaways" and two
'.shanay' dogs. The "handy" dog is!a
dog able to turn it's attention with
equal exactness to anything. There is
little erring; once his education is ac-
complished his owner can depend upon
him in any crisis. The dogs used in
this colony on sheep farms are selected
from Scots and German collies and the
Smithfield sheep dog, and vary rs much
in size and class as they do in price. A
dog fitted for the capabilities, of small
farm could be purchased for sovereign.

peatedly pay from 6 10 to Els for their
fancy.

Council Holds a speciaI ua.,,,o


There was a special meeting of the Red
jacket common council last evening. The
session was a very short one, in fact il
didn't take the council:tye minutes TO do
the work they had been called together
LOT. The liquor bond OF John Remfry.
winch was accepted at the regular meet.
ing last Tuesday evening, was brought
up on motion TO reconsider the cues
ton. The council then decided not to
accept the bond as Remiry did NOT do
what he promised. When the council
met tuesday and when Remfry's bond
was accepted with the understanding
that he was to run a strictly ORDERLY
saloon and TO have no female beer sling
ers about, Remiry promised to have the
girl who was then at his place leave
the saloon Immediately.
The very next evening the saloon was
the scene OF more or less disturbance. for
music was playing all evening and every
passer-by noticed and heard the noise
which was going on inside. The girl
was also IN the saloon.
President Vivian and several of the al.
dermen noticed this and came to the con.
clusion that if Remfry wouldn't keep his
promises any better than that, he GER
tainly would have less respect for them
after he got his red card.
hemfry will not be able to get license.

John Karela, the boy who stabbed
Willie Kieri yesterday forenoon and who
was arrested by Marshal Ward was
brought before Justice Curtis in the after
noon, when he pleaded guilty to the
charge OF assault and battery. The JUS
tice imposed very light fine. because as
the boy was unable to pay it, the expense
would fall on bis father. Young Ker-
kela is tough looking individual, small
and young as he is, and has caused his
father great deal OF trouble and anx-
iety. The boys father says hi can do
nothing with him, and he is mixed up in
fights and rows with the other young
sters OF his age almost daily. His MUIR
derous attack on young Kerr was en-
tirely unprovoked and shows that the
boy needs looking after.
