The house bill providing for doing
away with fences in the various cOun-
ties OF the State, subject to vote in IA
vor Thereof by the residents Of said
counties, came up on third reading in
the house to-day. Mr.. Rice, Of Lauder
dale, the author of the measure, said,
in advocating its passage: Taking the
report Of the agricultural bureau for
guide, we find that the cost OF the fences
in the United States is about the amount
of the entire interest. bearing debt of the
government According to this report
1 our fences are an annual tax Of one
/ dollar and fifty cents per acre on every
acre Of improved land in the United
/ States. Taking Fsyette county, in our
/ own State for an example, we find that
she has seven hundred square miles,
/ one third of which area is under
I fence. That will make about one hun
/ dred and forty-nine thousand three hun
I cred acres under fence, divided into
/ fieIds-if we include patches, orchards,
; lots, etc.-contsining twenty five acres.
/ Then We will haYe about six thousand
fields in the county. A twenty-five
acre field is three hundred and forty-five
yards square, and line around it would
measure thirteen hundred and eighty
yards. To cut, maui, haul, and put up
rails, leaving ont the waste Of timber,
costs about two dollars and hslf per
hundred. A fence ten rails high has
twenty rails to every five yards, or four

rights privilege were, yesterday, award
ed TO two cOloIed ladies at Trinity
Episcopal church, the most aristOcratic
place Of woI ship in the city, and one
visited almost exclusively by the elite OF
the place and by summer visitors. The
ladieJ were shown TO vestryman's pew,
who they repro sented to the sexton had
invited them. The vestTyman was
absent, and the sexton at once showed
them to the desired pew, which was oc-
cupied by two ladies who were stran-
gers, and who had previously been
shown in. The latter were highly in
diguant at what they termed an outrage
and at once arose and Indignantly left
the church. The objects of the atten-
ton of all present lthe cOlored ladies'
remained. This is the topic Of cOnver-
sstion here, as it is the first time 3
coIored person was ever admitted to q
prominent seat in that church, and it
remains to be seen whether the sexton
or vestyman will be censured by the
corporation.

Catholic Temperance Societies.
From the Dauenport Gazett


It is now some three years since the first
Catholic Total Abstinence Society in this
city was organized at st. Marguerite s
church, 1t has increased in numbers with
each year, and it has accomplished vast
deal OF good. Now each Catholic church
in the city has its Total Abstinence Society
and the largest association is the one
most recently organized, the one in St;
Mary's parish, 10 West Davenport 1t
numbers over one hundred members. This
society held a meeting Sunday afternoon,
and adopted constitution and bylaws. An
important project was considered, the es-
tablishing of reading room in the western
portion of the city, where young men may
find comfort and enjoyment in the long
winter evenings, The design receives the
hearty endorsement Of our citizens. The So
ciety,yesterday, was addressed by the Rev
Father whose good offices secured its for
nation; he expressed himself as delighted
with its growth, and delivered al excellent
address on the Importance of the moye-
ment, and the great benefits of remaining
steadfast in the practice of the principles
on which the society is established.
The temperance reform is making more
Roadway in the Catholic communion than
among any other body of people in this
county.

Pigs Eye Bar.
rom the 81. Paul Press

-
The sand bar few miles below the city,
known by the classic name of Pigs Eye
Bar" and which has for so many years
obstructed the navigation of the river, has
been improved the last summer, so that in
low stage of water vessels drawing four
feet can easily pass oyer it. This improve
ment has been made by Col. Macomts
under the immediate direction OF Capt.
Davis, of the Montana, who, becoming
tired of 'scooping out" the channel. sought
other means of improving the navigation
OF that portion Of the river. The work
consists of permanent dam from the east
bank of the river to the head of an island,
made by driving two parallel rows of piles
to the depth of eighteen feet and filling in
with stone. This dam is water-tight, and
the effect is to contract the channel and
turn the entire volume of the river into
the narrow space between the island and
the west bank of the Mississippi. The
course of the current when it strikes the
dam is detected to the opposite shore,
which has been securely riprapped to pre-
vent washing. The increased volume of
water passing through this gorge increases
the current and keeps the channel clear.
Ia future we need not expect to hear OF
steamboat detentions at that point. The
river men owe lasting debt to Capt.
Davis fo- his energy and enterprise in this
matter.
Between ST. Paul and La Crosse there
are forty five bars, all of which can be im-
proved in the same way. 1t is estimated
that the average cost will be about $4,000
for the improvement of each bar, or an
aggregate of about $360,O0O It is rnder-
stood that Col. Macomb will ask for an APP
preparation of 100000 with which to con
| tinue the work next season. This amount
should be granted, and 1t doubtless will be.
With these forty-fve bars improved, our
largest boats car reach our wharf at the
lowest stage of water, giving us river nav
igation throughout the entire summer sea,
son. The saving in transportation of oIl
surplus products for one year will more
than repay the entire cost of the work
Our delegation in congress cab not fail tC
see the Importance of this work, and will
of course, do all in their power to secure
the appropriation asked of by Col. Ma
comb. That the work will be pushed for
ward as rapidly as possible, no one at al
acquainted with Capt. Davis will doubt
for one moment. 1t is believed that the
only practical method of improving The
navigation of the river has at length beer
discovered.

How the Milan Constable was Pooled

How the Milan Constable was Pooled
Yesterday afternoon Adam Brook man
made complaint against Andrew Fetish,
before Justice Pinkley, charging him with
assaulting him with a knife. Peter J.
Heverling, the Milan constable, who hap
pened to be present at the time, was given
the papers to serve. He found his man at
Weyerhauser & Denkman's saw mill, and
arrested him. Fetish told Pete to wait a
minute until he could get his coat, which,
he said, was on top of a lumber pile. Pete
waited about half an hour but no Fetish
came, and Pete might have waited unit
now-for all the good it would do. His
prisoner had climbed up on one side of the
lumber pile and gone down on the other
opposite to where the watchful constable
was standing, and then lit out and ha.
not been seen since. Pete has given vi
the job as bad one, and gone home t
ponder over the wicked1ess of man.
