A correspondent writes to an exchange,
giving his experience with sheep-killing
dog's. Ife says : "It: cannot be wondered
at that dogs sometimes' provevicions, when
.beings who possess a higish order of intel-
lect manifest like propensities; It ought to
be known that there is an almost infallible
preventive, which can be obtained with but
little cost and , trouble, , which should mitigate
somewhat the provoeatiOn manifested. All
, Who:keep.sheep should provide'frour two
to di - sheep-balls, according 6, the size of
the flock; these with a strap should be fas
toned around the necki of the leading
sheep, which. will give the alarm when dim
' W ell-brought - up gerapproaches. dogs are
as •
conscious of wrong doings as their, more
intelligent lords of creation and .will shun
detection with'as much discretion. No one .
-should keep sheep without , such safegriards.
If,attended to, we shall hear less of sheep.
killing dogs, and the business of sheep-rais- - .
lug may..proceed to any desired extent."

An Officer Assaulted.
Last Monday Constable Blakeslee, of
Smithfield, came to town for. the purpose
of serving 'Warrants on parties implicated
in the fight at that place last Thanksgiving
night. He had reason to believe that one
of them, Chas. Anthony; could be fotind
at his brother-in-law's, L. Brainard's at
Litchfield, and went over there to look for
him. Brainard, however, refused to let
him enter the house, and upon the consta
bles trying to force an entrance knocked
him down several times, and finally &ma
hies off. During the melee Anthony made
his escape. McDoran, - Jr., of this place,
was also wanted, but heard of it and skipped
out. The trial took place at Smithfield on
TuesdAy; and resulted in three of the Milan
warriors beim botusd over to court. —Athens
