About Ecucinu,

One of The greatest expenses of the
farm is keeping mp tho fences. The
amount of money invested in fences in
the United States is enormous and al
most beyond calculation. Building and
keeping the fences of farm i'll repair
is tremendous tax upon the industry
and energies of the proprietors.
1t is doubtful whether the prevalent
worm, or Virginia, fence, is the most
economical; but where it is considered
most desirable to build it, our plan
would be to cut the rails about eleven
feet long, instead of ten as usually
practiced, and build about six rails
high, including the upper and under
rider, giving the fence worm OF not
more than three feet six inches. This
will make strong and usually high
enough fence, and it will occupy COM
paratively small space of ground. 1t
will pay to take down and rebuild the
fence, every four or five years. s.
Where good fencing timber is scarce,
and it is becoming scarce in many parts
of West Virginia, cheaper fence, all
things considered, and one which wastes
much less valuable ground, is the post
and-rail fence. The timber should
always be cut in the winter before the
SAD starts. Where cedar cannot be had
for posts, use white oak. Fer fence OF
four rails, the posts should be cut seven
feet long, and for five rails seven feet
four inches. The posts should be plant,
ed "butt down." or in a position tue re-
verse of the one in which it grew.
To avoid trouble from posts, in some
soils, being throAn out by frosts, use
small stones for filling in the holes
when plantinO them.

LAsDGRovE. - The Lelands of New
York, of hotel keeping fame, paid q fly
ing visit to the hotel in Landgrove the
past week, which they have verepaired and
refurnished. The Leland family is en-
phatically an bookkeeping one, its
starting point being Landgrove. "The
Green Mountain Coffee House, " to which
the Lelands repair during the summer
months, is the parent tree Of all the later
and wider spreading branches. 1t was
established in 1915, by the grandfather
OF the present generation, ana there they
all graduated after having thoroughly
mastered all the arts and mysteries per-
tanning to the science Of hotel keeping,
and which has rendered their name
famous throughout all christendom.
Never post office, nor store, nor q
church, nor telegraph station, nor q
railroad, or any ancient or modern i'm
provement was there in Landgrove; but
the Nestor of the family founded hotel
and now behold the result! The

Appleton & Co., New York.
This is another of the excellent series
OF historical novels by Mrs. Muhlback,
that have been brought out by the
Messrs. Appleton of New York. Great
credit is due this firm for bringing out
this series Of excellent fiction, and it
should be literally patronized by the
reading public, that they may be encour-
aged to republish other standard works,
to drive out the pernicious trash that is
flooding the country. This volume de-
scribes the most thrilling epoch in the
history of France. The romantic career
of the beautiful and unfortunate Marie
Antoinette and the Reign Of Terror are
depicted with historical accuracy and in
the authors happiest style. There is q
wonderful fascination in the writings Of
Mrs. Muhlback, dealing with kings and
queens, courts and courtiers of time
long past, showing thorough acquaint-
ance with their manners and customs,
their laws and habits, their weakness
and crimes, and following history In its
essential features. She weaves stories
of court life with fascinating power.
Every one who desires the series OF the
finest historical Eovels Of the times

terfering with the Judiciary, including
the Supreme Court OF the United States
as whole, He then proceeds to examine
the Reconstruction act and the act relat-
Ing to appeals and writs of error to the
Supreme Court, to show that, with the
exception OF suspensions OF interrup.
tions OF the regular sessions of the Court
by the rebellion, &C., the Judicial estab-
llshment was perfectly intact, as IL there
had been no rebellion and no occasion
for restorative legislation. He then
quotes from the laws providing for the
punishment of persons obstructing or
impeding any officer in serving or exc
cutting any process OF the Court, &C.,
and declares that these laws are still in
force, and that the President Is bound to
execute them, and that il he could be
supposed willing to suspend them, he
has not the power.
The Acting Attorney General con.
cludes his argument IS follows:
"All processes of the Federal Courts
run in the name OF the President OF the
United States, because the mandates OF
the Court call him to action as do all to
submission, and he must execute them
as laws OF the highest sanctity by the
whole power Of the nation, If necessary.

Is the mere misdemeanor of a contuma-

who, having offended against the unlaw-
full power of the Judiciary, has rendered
himself liable to prosecution according

which appears to me to rise on such
an occasion, where the physical power Of
the offender is as great as this, that for
the sole Executive to suffer the JUDICIARY
to be overthrown in any case would be
potentially to overthrow it himself, and
therefore am solemnly impressed with
the belief that unless the President
promptly suppresses the contumacy thus
disclosed to him he Is exposed to the
just imputation OF culpable insensi.
