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, Department Report for ’7l,p, 374, Editor Southern Cultiva 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. 1). OGMA. *• \ 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 to the butcher”— Petcrbyro, sA. //. Transcript. Another Life.

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 ton Sloe. A Sw ift Type-Setter. —Edmund C.

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.
