his attention at the roadside, but, beingon
the right side of the track, it was not in
cumbent on him to use more than ordinary
care. The case was ably conducted on
both sides, and resulted in judgment for
the plaintiff.
We were reminded of this occurrence
by reading the account offs similar one in
"The Law of Horses noticed last week.
Miss Clegg, aged twenty, driving rapidly
over hill, met Daniels coming with
loaded wagon on the left side of the road
Daniels turned out, but not in time to
avoid a collision that damaged Clegg's
horse and buggy. Clegg sued and recov-
cred judgment, on the following rulings:
While it is lawful for one to travel on the
left OF the middle of the road when it is
not occupied by person coming in the
opposite direction, STILL as the law re-
quires him to turn out seasonably when
he meets "a team, it also requires him
to use more than ordinary care to keep
out of the way and avoid collision. If
a collision occurs to the left of the cen
ter of the road, and without the material
negligence of the other party, the
one driving on the left is liable. 1t is the
duty of one ON the highway to turn to the
| right beyond the center of the road, and
this duty is the same whether imposed by
statute, custom, or common law. A man,
even if negligent, is not liable for damages
to another mans property if the other
could have avoided collision by using
ordinary care, and that, too, though still
| on the left of the road at the time. A party
| injured by collision must prove negIi-
gence or misconduct on the others part,
and ordinary cars and diligence on his
own. If defendants negligence IS such
that injury could not have been avoided
| by ordinary care on the plaintiffs part,
the latter's negligence is immaterial.
These rulings are founded in right and
equity, and make every ones duty plain
under similar circumstances. Ohio

the sharp point against his breast until
the blade bends into half circle. Or he
places himself on his back and, laying on
his chest thin leaf Of the elephant,
his acolyte strikes heavy blow down
upon'it with sharp saber, which cuts the
leaf in two. Again, he throws fresh CO.
coanuts up into the air and lets them fall
upon his head, whereon they are smashed
as upon rock,
Lastly" says M. Rousselet, who wit
messed the scene, 6 a wagon was brought
"a heavy vehicle which two oxen could
scarcely drag. One of the guards lances
was solidly fastened to the shaft, so as to
present its point at the extremity, and a
certain number of the common people
were invited to get into the wagon, which
the juggler, placing his naked skull
against the point of the lance, pushed for
ward, thus loaded, for about ten PAGES.
After this feat, of course, every one
wanted to inspect his skull. The man
complacently showed his head to each of
us, and we were able to assure ourselves
that he had no other cuirass than the thick
skin which nature had given him for his
share, but which nevertheless was stout
enough to resist a pressure that would
have pierced through the body of an ele-
plant"
Many acrobats go through their per-
formances upon the top Of pole which
is held upright by four ropes, the ends OF
which are simply put into a hole. Some
water is then poured into the hole, the
earth is stamped down, and, presto!
the pole stands like rock, and
may be shaken with the united
strength Of several men without loosening
the ropes. Little girls are often included
among the performers, and they will roll
themselves into balls, bend themselves
back, and conduct themselves generally
as though made of india-rubber. They
thread needles with their toes, their eyes
being blindfolded; and with their eyes
pick up straws stuck upright in the
ground. Or they lift weights with their
eyes-a metal button being placed under
each eyelid in such way that it adheres
to the pupil. To these buttons strings are
attached, connected with weights, some
times very heavy; and these are lifted a
little way from the ground without any
help from the hands. This spectacle,
however, has a cruel look that makes it

The Law of the Road.

PUBLIC roads are for the use of every
body to walk, ride, or drive over, but
each man has an equal right to it, and so,
in order for all to exercise this right prop
erly and tremendously, certain laws and
regulations are necessary, and every man
who uses the road must do it subject to
these regulations. Ignorance of the law
will not clear man who violates it, and
it therefore becomes the duty of every
one to know just what the law is in
regard to the common, every day occur
rences of life. One of the most holly
contested lawsuits we ever attended was
the result of collision between a car
riage and loaded wagon on the public
road. The wagon took the left side of
the road because it was the best. The
carriage took the right side, as is custom
airy. A turn in the road and intervening
bushes prevented the parties from seeing
each other until too late to prevent a
collision, in which the carriage and horse
were both injured. The driver of the car
riage then brought suit against the driver
of the wagon for damages. The plea set
up by the defendant was that he had
right to the left track, it being the best,
against all light vehicles, and that the fast
driving Of the plaintiff around the turn of
the road was the cause of the collision.
The plaintiff claimed that he was driving
in an ordinary trot, and that he turned out
TO the left as soon as he saw the defendant
He acknowledged that something attracted

A Warming to Reckless Advisers.

The Baltimore Sun says singular case
was recently decided in the Circuit Court
for Washington County, Maryland. 1t
was given in evidence on the trial that in
1871 Mrs. Susan Weckler asked the First
National Bank of Hagerstown to cash a
draft on New York for 81 ,047. The teller
of the bank, John D. Newcomer, being
told by her that she wanted to invest
81 900 in Washington County bonds,
advised her that better investment would
be in Northern Pacific Railroad bonds,
which have since deprecated to about
fifteen cents on the dollar. He told her,
as an inducement for such investment,
that DR.. Smith, >her physician, had in
vested $4,000 in the Northern Pacific
Railroad bonds, and this assurance in
duced her to invest in them also. Her
son-in-law confirmed her testimony, hav-
ing been present at the conversation. The
action was brought against the teller of
the bank to recover the amount invested
under deceitful representation. The jury
gave verdict in Mrs. Week.-Mrs. favor.
The defendant denied the allegations of
deceit, and said that at that time the rail
road bonds were esteemed as an excellent
investment. DR.. Smith testified that he
had never invested in the Pacific Railroad
bonds, and never told anyone that he had
any. Mrs. Weckler first brought her
action against the bank, but the Court de
cided that it could not be maintained.
Mr.. Newcomer has filed a motion for a
new trial.

KILLING WEEvILs IN PEAS AND
BEASs.-Every farmer who has cul-
tlvated peas, and attempted to keep
some through winter for seed ,
knows what are called pea bugs"
which, by the way, is not a bug, but a
small gray beetle known to entomolo-
gists as Bruchus plsi, LINN, or in some
late lists as Ny1abris psi. When
gathering the peas in fall, the presence
of an insect in the pea is not noticed,
although it is there, nevertheless, but
In the larvae, or grub state, which un-
dergoes its transformation during the
winter, and comes forth beetle at the
approach Of warm weather in spring.
There are very few localities where
peas are not attacked by this pest !;
and although it does little harm to the
crop if gathered green for market,
when kept for seed its depredations
become quite apparent.
Another species (BruchuS obsole-
| tus, SAY) attacks beans in the same
| manner, but instead of one beetle in
| each seed, as is generally the case
| with the pea, there are several; some
times twenty or more, will be found
| il one. bean. This insect attacks all
the varieties, but is not quite as abun-
| dant in the Northern as in the Middle
and Southern States. But they are
becoming more Numerous every year,
and unless soon checked it will be
difficult to obtain sound beans for
seed.
Now, it must be evident that, if
these insects are ever to become less
in numbers, efficient and persistent cf-
forts must be resorted to by all who
cultivate peas and beans. Perhaps
the most certain method of DESTROY
ing is to thoroughly dry the seed soon
after gathering, and then put away in
air-tight vessels, putting in quantity
Of gum camphor, say a half pound to
barrel-some old clothes soaked in
spirits Of turpeutine, placed in the bot
tom Of the barrel, will usually answer
the same purpose.

FoUNDER.-Founder is an in
hamation Of the parts between the
crust, or wall, and the coffin bone,
including the lamine, whence the
name by which it is now distin-
guished Qamintis). The common
cause of founder is drinking cold
water when exhausted or much
fatigued by long, continued exer-
ton but excessive exertion alone
will, and often does, produce acute
founder, and is at all times the pre-
disposing cause of this disease
The treatment should be by first
removing the shoes. Next give a
mild dose Of pbysic. The feet
should be kept constantly wet by
tying q piece Of felt Or flannel
around each pastern, and allowing
it to fall over the hoof, where it is
to be constantly wetted with mix
ture composed Of water, two parts;
alcohol, one part. Or let the feet be
kept moist by poultices, two parts
bran: with one part oil meal. Long
rest in q roomy loose box, the floor
covered with tan or sawdust, is
necessary to perfect recovery.
