Angora Goats and Doos.—A s I think it 
is commonly supposed that Angora goats pro¬ 
tect themselves from dogs, 1 send this clip¬ 
ping from the “Andover Townsman” pub¬ 
lished here: “One night, recently, the herd 
of Angora goats owned by John B. Jenkins 
was attacked by dogs, the result being that 
many of them were killed and others so ter¬ 
ribly torn that they died from the effects. 
The exact number of goats killed has not been 
definitely learned, as some of the remainder 
of the herd have not been found. The loss 
is placed at about $170, as the goats were 
very valuable. Mr. Jenkins feels his loss 
keenly, as lie prized his herd very highly. 
The County may be held responsible for Mr. 
Jenkins’ loss, and should the owners of the 
dogs be known, it might go hard with them.”

IIumbpgs.— Some days ago a neighboring 
farmer received a letter that he bad drawn a 
lot In New York City. His wife sometime 
ago had answered a puzzle that any child 
of school age could have answered. For this 
they were to receive a lot deeded to them by 
sending $5 to pay recording, etc. It was so 
well got up that 11 looked feasible to one not 
accustomed to delving to the bottom of such 
schemes. 1 was called in for advice and 
recommended that it would be a good tiling 
to leave severely alone. As an administrator 
1 have plenty of proof that when a minister 
leaves his calling to dabble in speculation 
it is best to let him speculate on some one 
else. In my younger years I thought when 
an advertisement, was in a religious paper, 
and the business transacted in the name of 
a party that aims to reform the world, it 
could be depended upon, but found after los¬ 
ing several hundred dollars that “there’s 
many a slip ’twixt the cup and the lip.” No 
honest business suffers from being investi¬ 
gated and all honor is due the owners of 
The It. N.-Y. that they are willing to help 
their readers in such matters and save to 
them many times the subscription price of the
