synop.i. of the Temperance Bin.

This bill is introduced as an amendment
to the law passed May ], 1854, it has pass
ed the Senate and is now pending in the
House, and the following particulars show
wherein it differs from, and is amendatory
Of the old law, which may be found and ex-
amined by any justice of the peace:
l. 1t dspenses with avennent and proof
that the person selling to minor or drunk
ard, knew at the time of sale that the buyer
was minor or drunkard.
2. To keep place of public resort, where
liquors are allowed to be drank, is the same
offense as selling them at place of public
resort. s-i ..l5. ~
8. Allow courts to remit the fine or i'm
prisonment, or both, of a person convicted of
getting drunk, if he will make full disclos-
llre, under oath, of all places within his
knowledge where intoxicating liquors are
sole, contrary to law. $50 @ ra &C.
. 4. The provision of the old law, except
ing wine, beer and cider is left out. ~ .
5. Punishment for the first offence is fine
only, for every subsequent offence the same
as the old law. y.
6. Transfers the jurisdiction to the COM
mon pleas, and requires all prosecutions to
be begun by indictment.
Z. Bill is drawn throughout with view
to relieve its provisions from ambiguity and
obscority, and prevent evasions.

swedIsh Law. AgnIn.t Intnxicntlon.

The laws against ntoxication are enforced
with great rigor in Sweden. Whoever is
seon drunk is fined, for the first offence, SO ;
for the second, 81, for the third and fourth
still further sum; and is also deprived of
the right of voting at elections, and Of being
appointed a representative. He is besides
publicly exposed in the parish church on
Sunday. The New York Sun says:
"If the same individual is found commit
ting tho same offence the fifth time, he is
shut up in the house of correction, and con-
demned to six months hard labor; if he is
again guilty, to years punishment of
similar description. If the offence has been
committed in public, such as at a fair, an
auction, &c, the fine is doubled; and if the
offender has made his appearance in church
the punishment is still more severe. Who
ever is convicted of having induced another
to intoxicate himself is fined three dollars,
which sum is doubled if the person be mi
nor. An ecclesiastic who falls into this Of
fence, loses his benefice; if he is a layman
who occupies any considerable post, his func-
tions are suspended and perhaps dismissed.
Drunkenness is never admitted as an excuse
for crime; and whoever dies VIXEN drunk, is
buried ignominously, and deprived of the
prayers of the church. 1t is forbidden to
give, and more explicitly to sell any spirit
GUS liquors to students, workmen, servants,
apprentices or private soldiers. Whoever
is observed drunk in the Streets or to make
noise in tavern, is sure to be taken to
prison, and there detained until SOBER with
out, however, being exempt from fines
One-half of these fines go to the informers,
(who are generally police officers) and the
other half to the poor.
If the delinquent has no money, he is kept
until some one pays for him, or until he has
worked out his enlargement. Twice year
these ordinances arc read aloud from the
pulpit, by the clergy; and every tavern
keepers bound under the penalty of heavy
fine, to have copy of them hung up in the
principle rooms of his house."

Neat Cattle require special attention du-
ring the present month. Cows about to
calve should have good fodder If you
want fat and thrifty calves they need as
much care before being brought into the
world as after it. If the time is near at
hand when any COW in the herd is about to
"come in" seperate her from the rest and
give her good quarters-free from the con-
tinement Of the neck or head. Where cows
are stabbed accidents in the process of par
turition are frequent and even when at lib
erty, watchfulness should be exercised on the
part Of the farmer. We have oftimes been
struck with the policy of those, who, having
fodder to sell permit these animals to be-
come poor and hnggard. The only use in
keeping cows is for their yield of milk and
butter, and they will be remumerating just
in proportion as they are well provided with
the right kind of food. d.-Rural ". Yorker

Fences.

James M. Trimble, Esq, of Hillboro, o.,
writes us:-"I put up, in the fall of 1874,
some post and board fence. The posts
which were oak, were cut in January, sawed
two by three inches at the top, and two by
six at the butt. Iput them in the ground
inUerted from the way they grew, and pack.
ed with limestone. They are good and
sound now. Posts of same timber set al
the same time, packed with dirt, and with
out being inverted, are three-fourths rotted
and worthless. | am now renewing my
fences, with inverted posts, and packing
with limestone, at an additional cost of ten
cents per paunel; and am sure that it viii

Nvntcher. for ahc SICK.

The custom of having watchers for the
sick, says an observant writer. as usually
managed, is very injurious. Sick persons
need the most perfect quiet, and hence ab-
sence from all disturbing and irritating
causes, The presence Of strangers in the
sick chamber is always unfavorable to the
repose Of the patient and the burning Of
lights anything like natural or sound sleep
impossible. Mex. TO the absurdity of dos
ing a sick person with some nauseous drug
every two or three hours, is that of prevent
ing his rest by watchers; and when two per
sons watch together in sick room their
conversation or whispering is often worse
for the patient than tho disease itself
