The Sheep Law.

At the request of several Of our sub
acribers we publish the following syn
opsis OF the law concerning sheep and
dogs. AS so many sheep are being
killed by worthless dogs throughout
Jefferson county, knowledge of its pro-
visions may possibly help abate the
nuisance Our farmer subscribers
should cut the law out of this paper
and preserve it for future reference:
|. THE REMEDY AGAINST THE DOG:
Any person may kill any dog that he
may see chasing, worrying, wOunding
or killing any sheep or lambs, outside of
the Enclosure of the owner OF such dog,
unless the same be done by direction Of
the owner of such sheep or lambs.
,. THE LIABILITY OF THE OWNER OR KEEP
Err OF SUCH DOG.
(a) LIABILITY TO FINE
The owner or keeper Of dog that
has been worrying, wounding chasing,
or killing any sheep or lambs, not his
own. and outside of his Enclosure, shall

mischief, and that such owner or keeper
has notice as aforesaid. The fine goes

DoNN in Georgia last week eight
colored men were arrested for having
started two incendiary fires that al
most entirely destroyed the town of
Palmetto. One of the gang confessed,
giving the names Of his sccomplices,
and said they fred the buildings so
that they could rob the stores and
houses. Thursday night party Of
masked men forced their way into the
prison and deliberately opened fire on
the guilty wretches, killing five Of
them and wounding the others. Of
course this awful occurrence has Gre
ated great deal of comment, some Of
it very Incorporate and foolish. The
best way tolook at the matter is for each
person to take the matter home to him
self. If idle and vicious persons
should in our own community DELHI
eratsly destroy our homes and prop
erty and endanger the lives of our
dear ones, it is quite likely that We
would favor instant and ample pun
ishment. There's great deal of mawk-
ish sentimentality about letting "the
law take its course the law in whose
name so much rascality is unpun-
ished and so many injustices permit
ted. There are times when the peo-
pie themselves are superior to the pro-
cesses of law. We somehow hold the
opinion that the Palmetto affair was
one of them.

THE record that Governor Atkin-

but he excelled himself last Friday,
when he liberated batch of ten con-
victs at one time from the State Pen

negoes, whose terms ranged from one
to ten years. We do not like to con-
denim Governor Atkinson for his sem
timents of sympathy, but he ought to
think of the respectable communities

these desperate characters.

IT is said mat law slipped through
the last Congress authorizing the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to bring suit
on the Virginia bonds purchased be-
fore the war by the government as

purpose is to get decision that will

syndicate that has been trying to make
something out of the so'called West

think there il much cause for alarm.
