 important events of tbe year 1 ?.'.;>, reviewing, al.-o, 

 enough of tbe history of preceding yeurs, to ren-

 Then, as now, war was raging fiercely in Europe.

The c

province of Silesia, and tbe accession of the young 

 and apparently helpless Maiua ThebbsA to the 

 Austrian throne, in 1740, seemed to Fiieiikhick to 

 present a good opportunity to assert those preten- 

 sions ftod ,ak e possession of the coveted territory. 

 It is true, that by a treaty known as the " Prag- 

 matic Sanction," Prussia had united with the 

 Other great powers in guaranteeing the mtegrity 



alone. Though t

military genius of Freo-

at war, not only in Europe but wherever the spirit 

 of mercantile enterprise or territorial aggrandize- 

 ment brought them together. The middle of the 

 Eighteenth Century found them striving for India, 

 and (or the supremacy of the North American 

 Continent. The vast Empire which tbegeniueof 

 Duplrix had founded, and almost consolidated in 

 India for France, was quickly overthrown by the 

 military genius of Clive, Iben a young man in the 

 service of tbe East India Company, and before tbe 

 year 1759 England had driven the French from 

 India, though she had yet scarcely laid tbe foun- 

 dation of her present East Indian Empire.

"A FEW WOEDS ABOUT DOGS." 

 Bos.-. -Noticing in the Young B 



isrs' department in a 

 paper, a rather destroying articlo on dogs, I deem 

 it my privilege to claim a corner in the Kvral, 

 through which I may eierci.e TOy f 00 ble influence 

 in averting an entire annitulm,,,,, of tbo canine 

 race. W. H. II. P. seem* to cherish a mortal 

 antipathy against tho whole race of dogs, and 

 assuming the spirit of a dog exterminator of 185T, 

 declares himself ready to enlcr upon scampaigm 

 of universal extermination. Now, I h*v BOund 

 reasons for cherishiog very different regards for 

 the canine race, and while willing to admit thai 

 there are tome really worse than worthless, I 

 cannot divine the propriety of condemning the 

 whole family as a public nuisance. Because " Old 

 Fratchic" will toss up her head aud kick the milk- 

 maid over every time she approaches her for tbo 

 purpose of milking, may not tho maid with equal 

 propriety shower about "Old Drockle" epithets of 

 resentment, who always adjusts herself in a proper 



pOBit and patiently waits the process? 



The dog is certainly a noble animal, and well 

 adapted to the services of man, and particularly 

 tho farmer. The services which he can render 

 bim are many, and amply repay the expense of 

 keeping h im He may be taught to act the part 

 of "Cow-boy" with much more faithfulness thai 

 most of such human officials. And the office he 

 fills during the night, in many cases, renders bim 

 decidedly valuable. The owner under whose 

 supervision the dog is reared, is responsible for 

 that dog's demeanor, as any dog may be taught to 

 know what is right for him, and what is not— to 

 a sufficient degree, at least, to render him harm- 

 less, and at the same time useful. Those " yelping 

 curs," which assail my friend at every house, in 

 "duplicates," have evidently been »poi'olin bring- 

 ing tip, and therefore do i 

 publicly attack their comma 

 their glorious rights of speech, as become A

PRESERVATION OF BIRDS. 



Eds. Ritual:— I see attention called to the 

 preservation of birds, in a late number of the 

 Rubal. Notwithstanding Ihe fact that many boys 

 aod men do kill birds, my atteulion has been 

 called to the fact that cats are at this season of 

 the year very destructive to tbe young birds. One 

 cat kills regularly from ene to five each day. 

 Whole nests are suddenly depopulated just as tho 

 young are about lo fly; and since, in my opi

 I infer Irom this fact, the late frosts destroyed 

 many insects upon which they lived. My plan to 

 drive them from ripening fruit, is to place the
