Mr. Dickenson has—<r, that Is, had—two dogs, one of which be^kept for coon* and the ether for bird*, although It ia not recorded that either was good for eyetber. On Satur¬ day one of them, which from ita subsequent notion roust have been the bird dog, showed symptom* of madac**, trying to bite large chunks ont of the cook; but it* owner was loth to kill Hen account of snch a little ec¬ centricity, and so aimply shut it up at night in the back yard. On Sunday morning he found that the dog had killed three fine large White Leghorn Cochin China Brahmas of the purest Fly moth Bock breed, imported from Pekin and worth at least twenty-five cents a piece. It made William feel bad, bnt he reflected that it was Sunday and simply turned toe dog out of the yard,when it rush¬ ed into the house and attacked toe coon dog, while the rest of toe family stood around on chair* and the cook got on top of the stove. Then at last our fat friend gave reins to his righteous wrath and bit the offending ani¬ mal a whack over the head with a 2x6 scant¬ ling that should have scattered brains all over a ten acre lot. The dog retired a few peees, but immediately returned to the attack on toe other animal, apparently much refreshed by the lick. Bat after several whacks, and after turotug over most things in the room, he was finally forced out the backdoor. Mr. Dickinson then took a pis¬ tol and his boy a gun and emptied several loads into toe last resting place of hi* valua¬ ble roosters, and the last seen of the mad dog be was ambling ofi in search of other game, while toe family got down and got ready for ehpwh.

Hail and Collens Elected by Good Majorities The election for state house officers and members of the legislature passed off very qnietly yesterday and the resultwill.be en Urely satisfactory to onr readers. The ne¬ groes turned out in good force, most of them coming to this precinot, but they were not altogether solid and not enough of them had paid their taxes to carry the day; though there was a pretty good number of very fresh receipts shown. The vote polled at toe court house was very large, and the count was not finished nntU a late hour, bnt the result will be found below. All the precincts have not reported, but Hall and Oolleus have both carried the [county by good majorities, running nearly straight with the ticket. OUFFUI DISTMCT. Jno. B.

He got on at Chambers street and rode up to Forty second street, I made him yawn twenty-seven times. Then I was tired, but toe old fellow had gone into the habit, and I thought he wonld split his jaws he kept them so far apart.” The young man hardly seated himself In toe car before he turned around and stared straight at a workingman opposite, who, of course, looked at him. Then the young man leaned - his head lazyily against window closed his eyes, opened his month very wide and begun to yawn with great deliber¬ ation and air of utter weariness. The man in toe blue overalls became interested and started intently at toe wide open mouth and toe closed eyes. The young man pnt np his hand in affection of covering his moato, and then, as if it was no nso to try to check an overpowering impulse, he drew his hand away, threw his head still fntaher back and uttered that sound peculiar to toe hearty yawner—ho-ho-ho. A moment later the man in the blue overalls gave evidence of e twiobing of the jaws, a spasm shot across his cheecks and then his mouth opened and he yawned so wide that it appeared as though he were going to divide and the top of his herd would go on up into space. The workingman was no started, and all the way lie kept yawning every few mo ments. Then the young man turned his at tention to an old lady opposite with equal success. — --- - • • • — — Get rid of that tired feeling as quick as pos¬ sible.

In building a fence around our young orchards several years ago no tried many plans for preserving posts. Having oc« casion to remove the fence t his winter we noted tho conditions cf tho posts as follows: Those sat with no preparation were decayed r.n inch or more in thick¬ ness; those coa’rd r-ifh a thick wash of lime were better attached preserved, but those were quite seriously with by worms; perfectly posts coated hot tar wero sound aa when put In tho ground; those painted with petroleum trod kerosene were equally a3 sound and as good for setting. Let the posts get thoroughly kerosene dry, and and then with a pan of cheap a whitewash brush, give tiio lower third of the post, the part to go into the ground, two or three applications of the oil, let¬ ting it sea!; in well each time. Posts so treated will not be troubled by worms ot insects of any kind, but wi'.l resist decay to a remarkable degree. This we find to bo the simplest, easiest, che. pest and best method of preservation. A Cowl Tonic for fowls.
