FARMERS are annoyed beyond en-
durance by trespassers of all kinds
Gunners and fox hunters are especial
grievances, as they break down fences,
trample down young plants and trees,
and otherwise destroy property. Gun
ners are very careless, too, shooting IN
dangerous proximity to dwellings anc
farm buildings We have known in-
stances in which farmers possessing
brcods Of pigeons are much annoyed by
gunners, who will shoot reckless!y
around the barn and yard, endangering
the lives of the stock, while the burn
ing wads from their guns drop among
the straw of the yard, and which the
slightes: breeze may fan into a fame.
The law against trespassers is strict.
and should be enforced. We append
the section relating to the matter, and
which, though an old one, is still In
full force The act of April, 1870,
provides that If any person shall pre-
sumo to hunt or carry gun on any en-
closed or improved lands of any inhab'
liant of this State, without permission
of the owner, or shall thereof be con-
victed, before any Justice of the Peace,
he shall for every such offence, forfeit
the sum of forty shillings.-Wesf Ches
