The Enormous Cost of Fencing Land

In the early days of agricultural So
cleties, noted hnancier, in ADDRESSING
an assemblage of farmers in PhiladeIpbia
promulgated the idea that the purposes
OF fences should be to retain cattle
within premises, and not to shut them
out. Up to that time highways had

ADJOINING premises must be protected
| by structures made in conformity with
| statute law, prescribing their heiaht ana
character, or no legal redress could be
obtained for depredations by cattle
breaking into inciosed fields. Railroads

A New York dispatch of the DIST
says: On tuesday, Jan. 9. middle
sized, oldlsh man, accompanied by a
good-looklng woman, apparently 25
years OF age, visited the tenement at
% Avenue B. The man gave the name
OF Schmidt, and said he was in search
OF room for himself and wife. A
room on the third story was given them.
and the man, after bringing in few ar
tlcles OF furniture, and putting up
stove, departed, and has not since been
seen. The young woman remained
much OF the time in her apartment,
conversing but little with any one. She
told an inquisitive neighbor that her
husband was travelling halter, and
came home about once fortnight. On
Saturday night the occupants of the
hoors underneath noticed blood dripping
through the ceiling. Officers were sum-
moned, and the door of the strange
woman's room was forced open. She
was lying on the floor, dying, a newly
born child beside her. DR.. Waterman
having been called, sent for midwife.
and she took charge of the infant. The
woman died on yesterday morning at 3

mother on yesterday afternoon. In the

He said that she was unmarried, and

hand and arm began to swell, and he finally

Lent, mourns the Ecening Post, is Lent
no more in New York. Strakoseh throws
open the doors of the Academy of Music,
with Nilsson as the attraction, during this
solemn season, and the spacious building is
promptly filled by as fashionable and brilliant
an audience as ever assembled within its mel
Cdy-haunted walls.
Some of the chief beauties of the law are
illustrated in case in Indiana. A high
spirited gentleman had a quarrel with a
neighbor and shot him, occasioning his death
some days after. He was tried for murder in
the second degree and acquitted on the
ground that death actually ensued from dis
ease, that being put forward as the defense.
He was then indicted for assault with intent
to kill, and in defense admitted the shooting
and that death was the result of the wound,
which made the offense murder of the second
degree, and then pleaded his former acquittal
ON that charge. rhe final trial is yet to
come.

SAVE THE WAR RELICs.-Since the an
nounccment, at Detroit, that one of the can
non captured at Perry's victory was in the
possession of truckman, and advertised for
sale, many citizens, says the Free Press,
''have expressed hope that such historical
relic would not be allowed to pass into private
hands. Another cannon, fully as large, lies
imbedded in the earth, near the foot Of Cass
street, and that one was also taken from the
British in the memorable fight. They are
the property of the United States Govern
ment, ii any one has a claim; but, if the city
were to take possession of them. there would
probably be no question of ownership raised.
The truckman will be satisfied if paid for his
trouble, and the cannon can then be placed
in one of the public parks, on the Campus
Martius, or laid at the base of the monu-
ment."
