WEIGHING THE ROCKFORD RAILROAD
CoAL.-Lass evening we stated that Mr.
John George had been usurping the func-
tons of that worthy city officer, the weigh
master, by weighing on his scales the coal
now being sold at the Rockford depot and
that on being notified of the fact, for i. seems
neither he nor those selling the coal had
any intention of violating the law, he at
once purchased all the coal of the Rockford
road, and kept on weighing and then selling
his own property. This was a quiet way Of
evading the ordinance and telling the city
authorities to go about their business, which
afternoon the Marshal politely invited Mr..
George to call upon Magistrate Chopper and
explain his evasion Of the ordinance to that
officers satisfaction. The hearing was
delayed until evening, when the City Coun
Gil met, and the case came up before them
for adj ustment And here Capt. Robinson,
who is interested in selling the coal, SC
knowledged the little game of selling out to
Mr.. George, by rendering FIVE dollars in
payment for Mr.. Georges violation of the
city ordinance. But the Council took &
more liberal and regular mode OF procedure,
ny granting to the Rockford Railway Com
and to Capt. Robinson the right to weigh
coal on any scales for the period of ninety
days until the railroad company can get
their own scales in readiness for business
This probably ends the matter to the salts
faction OF all parties

/ ALMOST SERIOUS ACCIDEST.-At about
half past three o'clock yesterday. 81 acct
/ dent occurred in Moline, which came very
near resulting in loss of life to the passen-
gers end driver of one of the street cars A
freight train on the Rock Island road was
backing down the side track towards Deere's
plow works, as a street car was crossing.
The driver not calculating distances proper.
Iy, drove the horse up on the crossing, when
the train, which was coming with consider
able force, collided with the horse car The
horses hind leg and tail were amputated BY
the collision, and the front platform of the
car torn off, overlapping the car itself which
contained a number of passengers. No one
was hurt except the horse, although both
driver and passengers had narrow ESCAPE.
The horse was afterwards shot 1t was one
of the best animals in the horse car compan
les stables. Much blame is attached to the
negligence of dr. yer. Too much care can
not be exercised in crossing the network of
railroad tracks in this city and Moline.

Spring Fencing.

| AFRlE is really the best month OF
the year for attending to the repairs
and changes of farm fences. Later
thdn'this, other work so presses upon
the hhsbandman that insufficient time
can be found to do the work as it
should be done. If there is any one
thingzconnected with farm labors that
IS more neglected than another it is
this matter OF fencing. Poor fences
always beget unruly animals, which
result in damaged crops, and general
loss. In the spring, after the fence
has been racked by the upheavings
of the winter frosts and high winds
;of March, they need attentionto make
them proper p%rotectioton grain fields
the summer. Poor fences are
perpetual annoyances; the farmer
never feels at ease, and yet, many
this with the plea that they
have not Sufficient rail timber upon
their premises to put fences in good
condition We know that many farm
-ers are short of wood Land, but yet we
do believe thatgoodsfanees may be kept
up and with an absolute-proft at the
same time. The judicious planning
and laying out of fields will be found
source Of great saving. Often fully
the number of rods of fence
are supported that are absolutely
required. Sometimes two or three
fields are kept for moving when by
arrangement of fences, all might be
0a1,roEal 1f1 o,a ,o1o1Cyr nn so
fields used for grazing and pillow
Another great saving may be
frequent laying over of fences, and
under new blocks. A re-laid
with new ground, pieces six
rails high, is fnlly equal to one contain
eight rails, which has stood five !
Years without repairs. We are not
inclined to favor the idea of building
4 fence of entire new rails on an old
for the reason that the bottom
rail of any fence will not last more
han one third as long as those above
and for this, we like, the plan. ofre-
ying a. certain portion of the farm
encef every spring, putting in new rail
It the bottom In this way good oak
IF chestnut rails will be made to last
if not quite half q. century.
At the present time board fences are
in most parts of the country

a better appearance; but
Or division field fences they are not
what is needed, for changes
ire often desired, which cannot be
made handily with post and board

door yard fences they are in place
Eor permanent fencing, the hedge,
however, must eventually come into
use unless people use more
