The new sheep law now in force has
number of provisions which differ from
the one formerly in operation. Hereto
fore, when dogs killed farmers sheep

that the farmer is allowed fifteen cents
per head for burying the carcasses,
which must be done within three days
or he cannot recover anything for his
loss.

A newspaper publisher in Ohio, re-
Gently brought suit against forty-fve
men who would not pay their subscrip-
tion and obtained judgment in each case
for the amount of each claim. OF these,
twenty-eight made affidavit that they
owned no more than the law allowed,
thus preventing attachment. Then
under decision of supreme court they
were arrested for petit larceny and
bound over in the snm of $4,000 each.
All but six gave bond, while the six
went to Jail. The new postal law
makes it larceny to take paper and
refuse to pay for it.-Ercbdnge.
