70 pLIvrNr CATTLE FROM JUMrING
rENcFs-One of the most trying annov-
anccs to the farmer Is to have brcachy
cattle They not only set a bad ex-
ample TO other cattle. and destroy fences
anl'crops. but they frequently lead 10
bitterness of feeling between neighbors
who have lived in harmony for many
years This sometimes ends in fierce
a protracted litigation, ruinous, perhaps,
to some of the parties, and destroys the
GOOD feeling and amiability that had pre-
viously given the :neighborhood good
name. This change of feeling is not con-
fined To these who were at first most I'm
lativcs, witnesses and others. until the
whole neighborhood Is drawn into the
gulf and all the more or less demoralized
In this unhappy manner feuds are COM
mcnccd that sometimes pass down thro'
several generations, and all springing
from the fact that breachy COW or OK
or horse broke down the fence, or leaped
over it and destroyed n few bushels of
apples or corn, or fed to repletion in for
hidden fields. Various devices have
been resorted to in order to prevent such
trcspasses, and especially in regard to
sheep, but none have succeeded, or only
in limited degree. Now we have a
new one, and ii is not cruel or painful,
or will not greatly ,S.commode the ami
NAL operated upon, and is remedy. we
can see no objection to employing it. 1t
is to ''clipp off the eyelashes of the under
lids, with a pair of scissors. and the
ability or disposition to jumps as effect
ually destroyed as SamsOn's power was
by the loss of his locks" The animal
will not attempt a fence again until the
eyelasheS are crown. This fact has been
promulgated by that distinguished breed
er Of cattle, Mr.. Samuel Thorne of Dut-
chess county, \. Y. who tested it upon
a very brcachy pair of oxen with entire
success. He considers a knowledge of
the fact Of great value to himself. and
hopes it will prove so to others.-Ne,r

SUPREME cousT.
The Stock Brokers' Case.
Before Judge Gilbert.

The case of Charles Fincke vs. Read a. Chase, stock
brokers' was resumed yesterday morning and con-
siderable testimony taken. Mr.. Merritt G. Read
was recalled and testified that they had always
carried out the instructions OF the plaintiff In regard
to the purchase and sale OF stocks and he had been
highly satisfied with the transactions. Mr.. F1ncke
was recalled and testified on the other hand that ne
gave them certain instructions in regard TO the sale
of some Fort Wayne, Adams and Rock Island STOCKS,
which they failed to carry out and he therefore sus-
tanned loss Of some $4,000.
Judge Gilbert in his charge to the jury remarked
that the case was one OF considerable magnitude.
He then advered to the relationship of the plaintiff
and defendants, and the business between them,
until the summer or 1885, AT that time
the defendants had in their possession 100 shares
of Adams stocks belonging to the plaintiff. These
he claimed they hypothetical and used for their own
purpose. If 1t was custom among brokers to do 80
then they had right 10 do It, but If Mr.. Fincke had
no knowledge of the existence Of such a custom
then he was not bound by IT, and the defen-
dants were liable. He said, however, that he
never gave them any such authority The plaintiff
gave them instructions to sell these stocks when
they could realize profit OF two per cent This the
defendants denied, and the point was whether these
instructions had been given. 1t was shown by the
plaintiff that these stocks did advance two
per cent, and the departure from his instruc-
t tons to sell rendered them liable: but II
then there was no breach Of contract. If they
found verdict for the plaintiff the value OF stocks
left in the hands Of the defendants by paintf-One
hundred shares Of Phoenix and one hundred shares
Of Western UniOn-woud amount to $l2, $50, and
that would be the measure OF damages. The addi-
ton OF two per cent advance would give him
$13,957 40.
The jury, after being out about an hour, returned
into the court and said 1t was impossible for them to
find verdict as they could not reconcile the veracty
OF the Witnesses. They were further instructed by
the Judge, when they again retired At halfpast six
O'Clock the court was adjourned, the Judge sending
word to the jury to bring in sealed verdict this
morning.

The General Result.

The great October battle of this
Presidential year has been fought,
and the broad battle ground from
Delaware Bay and river to Lake
Michigan and the Wabash is in the
hands ofthe Republicans. The con-
test has been ene of extraordinary
excitement, growing out of a full
popular consciousness of its supreme
Importance, and the million voters
of the three great States have been
in this party division almost evenly
balanced
It is understood every where, and
conceded on all sides, that General
Grant is stronger by thousands in
every State than any State ticket;
and he will sweep the three States
lately SO sharply contested, by deci-
sive majorities. In Indiana, as Ba-
ker, who is not particularly popular
or strong. beats Hendricks, the most
popular and the strongest Democrat
in the State, wei may be perfectly
sure that Grant will lead Seymour
very largely. Pennsylvania and
Ohio, too, are as safe for Grant as
Maine and Massachusetts.
The few Congressman that the Re-
pu ubllcans have lost will not hurt
them. Indeed, we do not care to
see again two thirds partisan ma
iority in Congress.-Cin. Com.

The Result in Gallia County,

In another column we give the
official result of the election in this
county on the 18th inst. The Re-
publican majority on the State ticket
foots up 63S-on Congress, GIG.
We gain in every township except
Addison-that stands as it did last
year-the democrats there holding
their own. t.,.
Clay township makes the largest
gain of any-is the banner township
of the county. All hail to the noble
Republicans of Clay.
We might name number of other
townships which did nearly as well,
but we have not room. All did well.
Now, one more effort, and the vic
tory is complete. Stand fast to your
colors.
