Sheer- and Hog vs. Dog in Missouri.
Dm*i ng the year 1870, more than
one hundred persons are reported
to have died of hydrophobia,
occasioned by the bites of mail
dogs. In thirty two coun ties, 10,-
602 sheep have been killed by
dogs. It estimated that allowing
two dogs for each family, which is
less than the actual number
there would be 400,000 dogs in
the State.
The amount of food necessary
to support a fair-sized dog, will
keep one hog in good thriving
condition, which at twelve months
will weigh 200 pounds making
for whole number of dogs 92,000.-
000 lbs This would load 4600
cars, ten tons to a car, and be
worth at least 5 cents a pound,
$5,520,000, uea ly twice the value
of all the school houses in the
State, and more than twice the
amount used by the State hi 1869
for all school purposes. In con
seqnunce of the great amount of
damage done by these animals,
it has been proposed by the State
Boaid of Agriculture to recom
mend to the legislature to pass a
dog law, by which the owner shall
be required to pay an annual tax
of one dollar on every
male and two dollars on
every female dog—G. W.Kinuey,

tor. — it is well to count up all
our taxes occasionally—empire,
State, fence, dog and all. To
many or my friends, the dog is an
article of luxury would be fairly a
subject of taxation at say 50
per cent, but an ad valorem tax
would not apply to more than
one per cent of the race.

*• \ few winters ago I weighed
the bay for ten tine-wooled sheep
and foe an ordinary sized cow
that was giving milk, and the
cow consumed rather more than
th 3 sheen. A few roots fed daily
in winter, fed with hay, will keep
in good condition to care for her
lambs in the spring. 'The lambs
need looking to the first few hours
after birth; most of them, however,
will put n<x*d it, but occasuonally
on will be found that will not be
strong enough, or from some
other cause will fail to obtain its
natural supply of milk, and will
re quint assistance. Here is what
three did last season. They lamb
cd in March, one had three, the
others t wo each, seven in all, sold
five ol them in June for twenty
live dollars; the two kept, if sold
at the same time with the others,
would have brought eleven dol
lars, making thirty-six dollars
sold 12 lbs. of wool for six; total
lambs ami wool, forty two, w hich
will he called a good return by
most of your readers, I think.
But perhaps some of them have
sheep that. have done better.
These lambs were not sold for atty"
fancy price, but at regular rates

Another Life.
Those who admire the writings of Mr.
George IX Prentice will be pleased to
read the following extinct again*
It cannot be that earth is man's only
abiding place, it cannot be that our life
is a It* ibln ca*t up by the ocean of eternity,
to ‘b it a moment up< n its waves an { sink
into nothingne-'. Else, why is it that the
Irgh mid doious aspirations which leap
like angels from un-ati-iic u? Why is it that
the rainbow a id e|oudseome over us with
a beaut v that is not otemtli, and then pass
off a 1 leave us to itiuse en their loveliness?
Why i it that the stars, which* hold their
festival around the midnight thrones,’ me
set above ttic grasp of our limited faculties,
forever mocking us with the r unapproach
able glory’.' And tins I ly, why is it that bright
tortus of human beauty are presented t »
•our view :nd taken fn tn us. leaving the
thousand streams of our affection to flow
back like Alpine torrents upon the heart?
We are born to higher destiny (han of

d. c.. i .*.-.: Mr." fi- e.u-M
Chinese Filial D 3 votion.
A recent edict issued by the Emperor ol
China shows now tenaciously the Chinese
still cling to their old customs and prejudi
ces.’ Orders have been given for the erec
tion of three memorial gateways to com
memorate the virtues of as many noble la
dies who lately died by their own acts, and
also degrade Li-Kwonghao, a Mandarin,
and uncle to two of the ladies, for acting
contrary to time-honored customs of the
Empire. The Mandarin’s older brother,
after marrying a lady of great worth and
beauty, and living happily with her for a
number of years, suddenly died, leaving
two daughters, both betrothed. His wid
ow was inconsolable, and wept so inces
santly that her health failed and she be
came quite blind. Then afflictions began
to multiply. The daughters were stricken
with grief at their mother’s calamity, and
resolved to devote their lives to her in fas
ting and prayers that her sight might be
restored. The young men who«e brides
seemed on the point of being lost to them
forever, sought the intercession of the un
cle.* He urged them to fulfill their vowi
already made, before taking others that
should render it impossible to do so in lu
but they persisted in sacrificing everything
to their mother, though she besought them
to heed their uncle. The unfortunate wo
man, feeling that she stood in the way of
her daughter’s happiness of those whom
they were betrothed, killed herself. This
only made matters worse, and when the
Mandarin bade them prepare for their
marriages, they resolved to complete their
sacrifice, and hung themselves in their bed
room. The decree concludes: ‘ Therefore,
let the Board of Rites award to them the
highest honors, and their unde, the Man
darin (Li-K wonglia), who preferred for his
nieces fortunate marriages to lives of filial
devotion, let him bo immediately degraded
from ail office of trust and honor, that oth
ers, seeing his disgrace, may tremble and
beware.”
The Proposed Lease of the North
ern Central R. It to the Pennsyl
vania Central.— The meeting of some
of the stockholders in the Northern
Central Railway, on Friday, developed
that the opposition to the proposed
lease to the Pennsylvania Central
hangs upon the question of money
rather than any insuperable objection
to to the project. The meeting was
called to strengthen the pending in- '
junction against the lease, but it seems I
that it will bo likely to be withdrawn
if Mr. Soott offers six per cent. of more
for the lease. A committee was ap*
pointed to consider and consult upon
the view’s of stockholders, and make a 1
report to another meeting.— Washing

A Sw ift Type-Setter. —Edmund C.
Hubbell, of whose remarkable feats of
type-setting mention has been made in
the papers, undoubtedly stands unri
valled. A week or so ago he accom
plished the remarkable feat of compos
ing in ten hours’ tune 15.290 ems solid
brevier, and in one single hour com
posed 1960 ems. Ou April she com
posed in ten hours’ working time 16,-
005 ems, and in two hours set up 3,982
ems. The type used was minion and
brevier. This gentleman has not yet
attained his majority, but he bids fair
to soon surpass the noted George Ah
rensberg.—World.
Did you ever know a good man or
pure woman utterly ruined by outside
uttivks upon their reputation? No,
never. The abuse of a good man is
commonly the headwind that fans the
fires of his own furnace and gives him
the theater headw-'.y. No true man
was ever kept down while he was true
to qis conscious and to God. "When
character is destroyed it is never mur
der, it ij suicide.

THE SAVANNAH DAILY NEWS.
The Savannah Daily Morning N ews
is acknowledged by the press and peopje to
be the best daily paper south of Louisville
and east of New Orleans. Carrying with
it the prestige and reliability cf age. it has
all the vigor and vitality of youth, and its
enterprise as a gatherer of the latest and
freshest news has astonished its contempo
raries and met the warm approbation of
the public.
During the year 1873 no expense of time
labor and money will be spared to keep the
Morning News ahead of all competitors in
Georgia journalism, and to deserve the flat
tering encomiums heaped upon it from all
quarters. There has, as yet, been no seri
ous attempt made to rival the special tele
grams which the News inaugurated some
years ago, and the consequence is that the
reader in search of the latest intelligence
always looks to the Morning News, The
telegraphic arrangements of the paper are
such that the omissions made by the gen
eral press reports are promptly and reliably
supplied by its special correspondents.
The Morning News has lately been en
arged to a thirty-six column paper and this
broad scope of type embraces daily every
thing of interest that transpires in the do
main of Literature, Art, Science, Politics,
Religion and General Intelligence ; giving
to the reader more and better digested mat
ter than any other paper in the State.
It is, perhaps, needless to speak of the
polities of the Morning News’ For years
and years—indeed since its establishment —
it has been a representative Southern pa
per and from that time to the present m
all conjuncture it has consistently and per
sistently maintained Democratic States
Rights principles, and labored with an ar
dor and devotion that know no abatement,
to promote and preserve the interests and
honor of the South.
The special features of the Morning
News will be retained and improved upon
during the ensuing year and several Lew
attractions will be added.
The Georgia news items, with their
quaint and pleasant humor, and the epi
tome of Florida affairs will be continued
during the year. The local department
will be, as it has been for the past year,
the most complete and reliable to be found
in any Savannah paper, and the commer
cial columns will be full and accurate.
The price of the Daily is SIO.OO per an
num ; $5.00 for six months; $2.50 for
three months ; SI.OO for one month’
The Tri-AVeekly News.
This edition of the Morning News is es
pecially recommended to those who have
not the facilities of a daily mail. Every
thing that has been sail in the foregoing
in regard to the daily edition may be re
peated of the Tri-Weekiy. It is made up
with great care and contains the latest dis
patches and market reports. The price of
this edition is $6.00 per annum, $3.00 for
six months and $1.50 for three months-
The Weekly News.
The Weekly Mornim? News particularly
recommends itself to the farmer and plan
ter ami to those who live off the lines of
railroad. It is oe of the best family pa
pers in the country and its cheapness
brings i t within the reach of all. It con
tains thirty-six solid columns of reading
matter and is mailed so as to reach sub
scribers with the utmost promptness. It
is a carefully and laboriously edited com
pendium of the news of the week, and con
tains in addition an infinite variety of other
choice reading matter* Editorials on all
topics, sketches of men, manners and fash
ions, tales, poetry, biography, pungent
paragraphsand condensed telegrams enter
into its make up. It contains the latest
telegraphic dispatches and market reports
up to the hour of going to press, and is in
all respects an indispcn»ible adjunct to every
home.
Price—One year $2.00; six months sl.-
00 ; three months, 50 cents.
Subsciiptions for either edition of the
Morning News may be sent by express at
the risk and expense of the proprietor. Ad
