Line Fences.-A case involving the
question, "What is n sufficient fence to
afford protection against live stock P" was
recently tried before Judge Elwell, in
Wyoming county. The plaintiff sought
to recover damages alleged to have been
done to his corn crop in 1870 by the stock
of the defendant. The judge in charging
the jury made the following remarks ait
is maxim Of law that every man must so
use and take of his own as not TO iniure
his neighbors. At common law the owner
Of the cattle was liable for the damage
done, although the land had not been
fenced. This was understood TO be the
law Of the state until decision of the
supreme court, in which the act of assem-
bly, was constructed to change the common
law. BY this decision, II the owner of i'm
proved land has no fence around It he can
not recover for injuries done by rowing
cattle. In a decision by Judge Addison,
seventy-five years since, it was held that
If fence, though not lawful, be what is
called neighborly, and sufficient to restrain
ordinary cattle, that trespass will lie for
injury by the cattle of another. This view
is substantially correct II, therefore, the
fence was such as farmers Of practical
knowledge and experience would consider
sufficient protection against ordinary
cattle, then the plaintiff would be entitled
to recover, though the fence was not Of any
given height or composed of any particular
material" W

FOund.-It is reported that Mrs. Kessler,
the woman of Middlecreek township, who
so mysteriously disappeared in August
last, has been lately discovered at hotel
in Millheim, Centre county, where she is
employed as servant. This fact came to
light through revolving hostler who had
been living at the same hotel where Mrs.
Kessler, stayed. He left there and came
to the hotel at Kremer in Middlecrcek
twp, this county, where, incidentally he
overheard persons talking about a missing
woman, and when he heard description
of her and saw her photograph, he at once
said it was the same woman. Her chill
dren went up to see her, and found her at
the hotel. She expressed no desire to re-
turn at present, but said she might do so
at some future -Selinsgrove Times.

Chelseas, OF Boston, VS.. Chelseas. of
Brooklyn-The Brooklynites Victor.
ions in Ten Inning Game.
The strong nine OF the Chelsea Club, of Boston,
after dlsposing of the Concords of Brooklyn,
Wednesday afternoon came out yesterday to play
their namesakes OF Brooklyn, on the Union
Grounds. There was not very numerous assem-
blage OF spectators present not more than 400
beng within the enclosure. 1t is to be regretted
that more did not witness the play, for 1t was Of
most excellent order and the match
was highly exciting, particularly towards
the close, when the Brooklyn boys
pulled up their score until 1t was equal
to that OF ~heir opponents. The visitors are fine
looking set OF gentlemen and play with vim and
accuracy that Is most admirable. Their uniform
is very similar to that worn by the Boston Red
Stockings
the Brooklyn boys at the bat. The first inning was
poorly played by both sides, the home club scoring
this time, however, until the last inning the play
ing was first class. ANY number OF nrst class

the palm in the outdeld, while in the lnneld all
dio finely. In the fourth inning the Boston boys
put two TO their account, thus bringing their
score up TO six, while the Brooklyn boys mad but
three. Matters stood IN this shape until the sixth
inning, when the blue hOsed boys got IN a single.
In the eighth inning they tied the totals BY placing
two runs to their account, and now the spectators
became thoroughly excited ana began snOntlng
Justify at every play made. The ninth inning did
not witness any change IN the relative positions OF
the contestants, SO 1t was found necessary to
play tenth. The BROOKLYN bows led OF
with q hard hit to Mutrie, who Jailed
to field It properly. The next striker, Horrgan,
hit TO Welch, who emulated Mltrle's example. ana
now two men were on the bases. Dodge drove q
scorcher 10 third base, and Plggott allowed 1t to
skip between his feet. Errors now followed ia
quick succession, nor did they cease until the
Erookiynites had made four runs. This settled the
question of victory beyond peradventure, for the
Bostonians were not batting well, and TO get FIVE
runs was totally out OF the question. Not one OF
their number crossed the homepate, and thus the
game was lost and won by score OF 10 to 6. The

THE STEAMSHIP BoTHNIA.

On Wednesday, the steamship Bothnia, which
the Cunard line have added to their already nu-
merous neet sailed from New York on her return
trip. The navy OF this company numbered before
the advent OF the Bothnia forty-eighr ships, repre-
senting a tonnage OF 90, 600 tons.
The Bothnia is Of 1855 tons burden, and her
registered dimensions are as follows Length
over ALL ASS feet; breadth of beam, 42s feet;
depth OF hold, SO ieet. She Is OF 600 horse power
bark rigged, and has four decks, eight boilers and
twenty-tOur furnaces. The BOthnIa Is fitted out
with all the modern improvements in naval archi
lecture and is as regards her passenger and cargo
Accommodations the finest transatlantic vessel
ahoat On her trai trip sonie time ago the Botnnia
made All average speed OF fourteen knots an hour,
with 200 tons dead weight. She is q new model
and experts IN ship construction believe that she
is destined to create revolution IN the modelling
OF ocean steamships. Her saloon, which Is spacious
Is situated amidships. Her staterooms are so
arranged as to nave them all light and airy. II Is
expected that when the massive compound
engines OF the Bothnla become broken TO their
work she will be able without great stress, to
make faster time than any on record.
