FIRE Low.-It seems like an almost un-
necessary caution, but every days news is
demonstrating its importance.
Whether with cannon or small arms. the
tendency among inexperienced troops IS to
H,oot ore1 Tire heads of the enemy. Even
among disciplined soldiers this is constant
fault a, the battle OF Fort Sumter the reb-
els assert that the shot went over their heads
at SewelIs Point the same ,hing-according
TO them occurred.
In the use Of muskets, the reason is eyi-
dent; in bringing down the muzzle to aim
the recruit, in state of unnatural excite
ment, thinks he has it low enough and blazes
away. Onesxtecnth Of an inch, thus lost
in correct sight makes feet where the enemy
are, and the best aims are thus rendered use
less. An old Kentucky General put the
whole caution into phrase more precise than
elegant. when he cried, Shin EN-, BOYS"

The New Fence Law.

Among the laws passed this winter
is one of Importance with regard to
highway fences. Heretofore no dam
ages could be recovered where stock
of any kind broke into field or en-
closure unless it was fenced with law.
full fence upon the highway as well as
upon division lines. The new law allows
damages where the fence is not lawful
fence. In other words, the man who
allows stock of any kind to run in the
streets or public highways does so at
his own peril, and is liable for all the
trespass they may commit, no matter
what the condition of the neighbors'
fence SO far as streets and highways
are concerned. We apprehend this
will be found good law, as soon as it
is fairly understood. 1t will do great
deal towards preventing many impru-
dent and slothful people from keeping
their stock in the public streets, to
the inconvenience, and detriment of
every body else who owns property in
their neighborhood. Citizen.

To DIR. HERRIcK, Albany, n. Y.-Dear sir:
cannot refrain from informing you of the wonder
full effects of your SUGAR COATED PILLS on a
boy living with me. While hard at work drawing
cord wood he fell to the earth as if in fit, was
insensble and partially cold. We carried him to
the house and sent for doctor, who bled him and
gave him some medicine. He remained all night
in the same situation. The doctor said he would
die and left him. My wife insisted upon giving
him some of your Pills. We administered four in
FIVE hours and shortly after two more, rubbing
him with hot brandy and mustard. The Pills
operated powerfully. At four o'clock in the after
noon he opened his eyes and spoke, commenced
getting better, and in three days went to work
More than fifty of our citizens saw the boy, and
will testify to what have said You are stranger
to me- but + thought / w6ailldd write. -. j.
Yours, ALEXANDER MORTON.
