LAND OCCUPIED BY FENCES.

Tho materials and labor required to
build and keep forces in repair are
among tho heavy items of farm ex.
pense. Tho cost of the land on which
they stand is another item on which
J. Harris, of Rochester, discusses as
follows in the american Agricullurist:
GLOW much la'4,i. does an old. fash
'oned fence occupy? 1 have always
thought it took up good deal Of
lahd, but ncvor had tho curiosity to
measure. But this summer wo have
oeen building stone wall along the
whole west side of tho farm and after
1t was completed, and tho old fence
removed, l was surprised at the ouan.
tity OF land we hud gained. The
ground, OF course, might have hecn
ploughod closer TO the fcnce, but, the
case as it actually was, the old rail
fsnco, with stones, weeds, rubbish,
etc., occupy strip of land one yard
wide A field thir.y-one rods long
and thirty-ono rods wido contains
about six acres. If surrounded by
such fence, it would occupy little
over threo quarters Of All ocre Of
land A farm of one hundred and
sixty acres 80 fenced would have
twenty acres of land taken up in this
worse than useless manner. Not oily
is tho use Of the land lost, but it is in
tho majority OF cases, nursery of
weeds, and in blowing much time is
lost in turning, and tho hcadlands and
corners arc seldom properly cultivat-
cd.

THE VALIDITY OF THE JURY, UNDER
MILITARY ORDERS.
The State Us. James IT, Court
of APpeals- Coiumbia, Dec. 1867.
OPINION BY wARDLAw, ASSOCIATE JUS.
TICE.

1u the argument heforo' this Court
tho counsel for tho priso or has rcsto,
the motion in arrest of judgment UP.
on two objections TO tho jury which
tried him: 1, That the jurors were
not drawn under competent authority
2, that they were drawn from IL boz
which contained tho names Of Il class
Of persons who wero not qualified tc
serve as jurors. Under these otjec-
tions there has been urged nothing but
non-conformity in tho proceedings
had for drawing the jurors, with the
General Orders of the commandant ot
this, tho Second Military District, con-
strued as those orders must be, with
reference to the laws Of the State
which they alter.
The first objection may ho resolved
into this, chat the Governor did not
order special Court at Which tho ju.
rors were drawn. By paragraph
fourth of General Orders No. 50, Sep
tember 18th, 1867, the Governor was
authorized % order special term f
The Court, "to be held for the purpose
of revising and preparing jury lists,
and to provide for summouing and
drawing Jurors, in accordance with the
requirements Of ibis order" No 9th
CT regulation Of the State or of the
Military District gave authority to
the Governor iu tho matter. Judy.
Dawkins, at Ahbevi!le, gave in Writing
directory orders 10 the Clerk, S."rit'
and Tux Collector of Anderson Dis
trict, but even if he had power willis;
he was holding 4 Court in another
District, to order an extra Court for
Anderson: Qe25, Z Stat, $40. Par l;
State ps Harden, r ch., L.. 5s5, he
did rot do 80, but exec d his direc-
tioas to DO made effective by an cruc.
from the Governor. The Governor
made no mention of a special or cx.r4
term OF Court in his ordcr, but di-sc.
t ID the Cleik and Sheriff to procn1e
Lists, place names in u box, and from
thai box, draw jurors f,r the sprrna
