[re fwmer, His Dog and His Sheep. Ill commissioners of Crawford county, were called upon recently to pay a liar claim against the county, and one ith probably has no precedent in this or ciber state. The law compels the owners ;ogs to pay a per capita tax on all such i. This is a recognition of property sogi, and in considc^a-ton of the revenue 'imty leceives from the taxing of them J liablo to sheep owners for all dam- Jone tc sheep by dogs on which a tax been paid, on proof of damage and. :tity of the dos;. One of the leading jers of this tovinship had a dog and htld II rectipt, making his possession for the 1SS7 a legal one. A night or so before end of the year the farmer heard a great sEotionamonghis sheep, and hurrying out tie enclosure where they were kept he md seven of them dead and another one bg, with the teeth of his own dog Med iu its throat. The owner of the lep-killing dog got hia gun from the bouse iihot the dog dead. Last week he went Meadville and presented his bill to the :::y commissioners for the eight sheep iich his dog had killed. He argued be'o :e t Board, that having paid the tax on his S, and being legally entitled to his posses a'newMaamuch entitled to remunera- 15 for the loss of his sheep, as his neighbor fdd have been had the dog killed sheep for The c }mmi8Bioner8 ridiculed the f ar- rrs argument and laughed at the idea of a 10 being paid for owning a sheep-kill- l dog that slaughtered hiso wn sheep. The K was placed before the best lawyer in the mty by the farmer, and the result was It the commissioners found t- at the claim il every chance of being sustained by the «ra, and they paid for the sheep.

It is a significant fact that most of the women who have achieved fame in art, literature, or "affairs," have enjoyed vigor- ous health. This shows that the mind is never capable of the severe continued appli- cation necessary to to creative work, unless the body is at its best. The woman who aspires to fill an exalted place among her asscciates, must be free from nervous debility and female weaknesses. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Piescription will bnish these, and it is warranted to res ore thore functional harmonies which are indispensable to health. As a specific for all those chronic weaknesses and ailments peculiar to women, it is on- equalled. Bracelets are only proper when the dress is full. Great Little Men.
