the latter coming back to the Wins

stole the wrong Dog.

In this State a dog is not in law
personal property, unless it is listed for
taxation and the tax paid, SO dogs on
which the tax is not paid can be stolen
with impunity. The thief cannot be
prosecuted, and most of them who
know this, take any dog they take a
fancy to. Some one stole Mr.. John
Hahnhart's dog in Wilmington few
DAYS ago and he had white man by
the name of VIM. Deveraux arrested
for 1t. Deveraux was before Mayor
Wright and as he could not be held
for stealing the dog, he was charged
with stealing the badge and collar
and was bound over to court 10 bond
OF $50.

A BIG BEAVER,
Discovery of the sisuIl of a Mon,

Discovery of the Si1ull of Monster Of
tho nuarternnry Age.
One of the rarest of fossil remains has
bcen unearthed in Michigan, near the
Indiana state line, and is now in the
possession OF George A. Baker, of Soutl,
Isend, Ipd,, says the Cincinnptl Com-
melrial- Gazette. It is the skull Of q
mammoth beaver, q monster of the
quaternary age. existing contempora-
reously with the mastotlon and meg.l-
therium. In only five other instances
in the United States, and in this coun-
try alone, have any portion of tho re-
mains of Il mammoth beaver been
found, and these were always of the
teeth or skull, but generally of only the
teeth. The first discovery was ut Nash
port, Licking county, o., by Prof. Fos-
ter. whose find, u skull, is described in
American Roenti by Prof. Allen, and 4
cast of which was taken by Prof. Agas-
siz, and the cast alone remains.
The skull possessed by Mr.. Baker is
12Minches long, is about inches wide.
and stands about S inches high. It
has the teeth and also the great
ircisccs used in tree-cutting; the incis-
ors are about 9 inches long and ~,
inches in diameter. It was found in a
bog, and from comparisons with other
specimens it is the largest and finest
specimen now known to exist. The
live animal could not have weighed less
than 400 pounds.
