We haven’t time to write such an
account of the festival as it deserves,

to know that the e\cuing was highly

We were requested bjr a certain per

Mtt^ Editor: If I mistake not, an
act passed by the legislature several
| years since, gives the board of super
' visors tlio power to levy u tax on dogs.
I notice lately in one of my papers ilia
the board of oiio of the comities had
levied this tax, and their doing so was
highly commended. If this is the law
i l urge upon our hoard the necessity
! of them pawing at once an ordinance
taxing all dogs and bitches owned by
ouch and every person, excepting one
dog to ench head of a family, free from
tax. By all means, just at this peri
od, for the sa'tc of common decency,
and to rid our county at an early date
of the great number of worthless dogs,
put a special tax of on each hitch
or slut. We arc compelled to give up
sheep raising in this county, and the
raising of hogs in some localities, on
account of tlio dogs. It is useless for
me to speak of tills great nuisance and
expenso our county is to iu keeping
up so many dogs, for 1 feel like that
even the most ardent lover of dogs and
| the shaglest negro claiming citizenship
| among us cannot help but neknow
j ledge that u bearer should bo put to
, this nuisance; and is it not a shame
I upon any people, owning as great a
1 sheep country ns ours, with a fartory
! in it demanding all the wool that we
! and the adjoining counties can raise,
to give it up for dogs? No wonder tlio
bank charge* lug interest on inonej ,
and the merchants $12 per barrel for
flour and fifteen rant a for meat, and
our people toiling to make cotton at
seven rents per pound on land that it
take* ou average three urre* to make n
bale, when there are thousand* of
acres of woodland, old field* and pas
tures, green with grass nnd|horhagc.
that could he made to grow large rev
enues to them in wool uud mutton for
the table or market, and this ran be
mude with no expense, save a little at
tention uud salting and by protecting
them from the ravage* of dog*. Since
Christina* 1 have lost, including
lambs, not less than 60 head of sheep
by dogs. uud they are still being killed,
coming up at night, with their bodies
torn up, to din inn short time from
the wounds and worms—other* miss
ing- killed in the woods, ami so It
goes. I am killing dogs, but from
the great number in tbu tounlry, and
every pernoti saying that their dogs
don’t kill sheep, it is one endless tusk
for mo to kill them out faster than
they are imported and rniaod by the
legion* of hitches that are kept breed
ing and none of the numerous off
springs arc destroyed or drowned a* it
used to be, bnt all given away and
raised, to prowl about over tho coun
try at nights, Mieking eggs, breakiug
into storerooms, kitchens, ami kill
sheep, pigs, lamb*, kids and hogs. I
don’t a*k our honorable board to pass
such an ordinance tor my protection
alone, but for the good of our county.
There arc many “Vcrases” in this
matter, but, gentlemen, do your duty
to buihl up “Koine. ” -lloping to
hrixg out other* on this matter, I .will
close for the present.

Pssch Trees sad Cultivation.
It is impossible to have a successful
peach orchard without cultivation.
Rears and apples may flourish without
it, but you can’t have a peach orchard
without thorough cultivation. We
saw this strongly exhibited upon a few
trees this season, which v?cro left in a
tomato patch and had been thorough
ly cultivated. The trees are green and
luxuriant and loaded with hep I thy
looking fruit, while those uncultiva
ted have an unhealthy look, with
scarcely any peaches. We have an
other young orchard consisting of
about 1000 trees, and they show the
effects of cultivation in a remarkable
degree. The trees look green MUl
thrifty and exhibit a healthy fulness
not found in other trees. Resides this,
peach trees need thorough cutliug
hack. Wo think it throws more vig
or Into the trees and prolong* their
longevity. It ih derived from flic old
French csplnmier system, where peach
(trees are trained to the wall* ami they
were ctlt hack every year. Peach trees
trained this way were known ttf live
hu hundred year*.
It is nrguod that a hu tided tree Is
naturally short-lived; wc think this
depend* on the treatment which the
trees receive. If they are neglected
and not properly cultivated and prun
ed and manured, they, of course, will
not live ns long ns tree* which have
been well cared for. No doubt the
best manure for peach trees i* bono
dust nnd ashes, or knlnit, which con
tains so much potash.
Siuctvit is almost impossible to grow
peaches successfully in the west, wc
heard a Chicago man say the other
day, that makes peach orchards more
valuable .in the 8011th, and nothing In
thoifuturc will be more remunerative.

Having taken the sense of thia

over every foot of it, [ And that tho
people heart and soul favor the el
ection of the gifted Hooker to Con
gress. Thu public sentiment in hi*
behalf is tcu to one ns between tho
present incumbent and hitnsalf.
That being true, the only presump
tion to bo entertained is that tho
Couvolition, which is but a method
of expressing the will of the jicople,
will select delegates to voice tho
fact.
His services when formerly Rep

brilliant, and reflected distinguished
honor alike upon himself anil the
State. Through hitn $100,000 was
brought to Mississippi and material
ized in a splendid Federal structure,
which now gracea our Capital City.
His zeal and ability first won the
general Government over to the
Idea of embracing tho streams with
in our borders in the province of
the scheme and ncopo of improve*
incut of rivers and harbors, and of
the expediency nud utility of making
appropriations to .open and render
navigable the Pearl and Pascagoula.

No figure stood out grander than
Col. Hooker among American repre
