As Mr.. Thayer and Mr.. Davis were be-
ginning the days work at o'clock We'd
nesday morning, they heard the barking
or dogs in the sheep pasture. Seizing
their guns, they fastened to the spot and
found two dogs attacking sheep. Their
guns missed fire. the dogs ran away, and
soon barking was heard in another direc-
uon. Following on, they found about 60
sheep with the dogs in hot pursuit One
OF the dogs was killed and one escaped.
A lamb was found injured and II sheep
are missing at the present writing The
dog that was killed belonged to Dennis
Jones and the other to Mr.. Cater.
We think that a few words are due the
little hamlet Of Harmonyvile on the i'm
provement" question, for really the resi-
dents there were the pioneers in this mat
ter. For many months those who have
passed to and from the railroad station,
as well as travellers along the main road
to Newfane have made favorable and ap-
preciative comments on the neat and at
tractive appearance of the homes in this
suburb. Many of the houses have been
newly painted, and with the well-kept
lawns, the three useful street lamps, the
convenient mail box, the nearness to the
station and the good fellowship which pre-
walls, life there may well seem worth the
living. We think that the example Of
Mrs, II. f. Dutton in keeping ner home,
the Kathan home once, and grounds so
beautifully has proved contagious.
