9. 10 Prince George county, many farmers feeling
the crushing burtbern imposed by the fence law, and
seeking relief, have formed voluntary associations,
under which they mutually bind themselves TO keep
up a ring fence around q number Of farma, and each
farmer within such enclosure for himself to restrain
his own etock, Of every description. No less than
three such enclosures exist in said county, each EN-
braoing snme fifteen or sixteen farms, owned and
managed by different farmers. They bave been in
existence fer several years. and the system is found
to work admirably. The amount of fencing done by
each proprietor IL sEssll in comparison TO what he for

one who will take the trouble to examine

comprehend in moment the simple aud
beautiful idea he developed, and made the
sewing machine thereby, practical neces-
sity in every family. For this, without in.

And the pausing student will also note
It in his memory, what IL was that fred the

to lower the last within her narrow house,
shedding upon her bier the honest tear of

way should he found, whereby the slavery
of the needle should end" They did not
die in vain; for before the graves we're
grassed, the village paper, that announced
their death, contained paragraph deserio-
ing how its editor had seen machine that
sewed a curved seam, the FIRST ever made in

So humanity blossoms from decay, and
sympathy festoons the chambers Of invention
with garlands toe green to fade, too useful
