have read with a great deal Of in
terest the communication of ii. H., and
the reply Of IT,, on the question Of
fences. I am glad this question has
been sprung, for il is one Of more i'm
portance to the farming interest than
any other. Without good fences it is
impossible for us to gather our crops,
and any law that will compel every one
to make a good fence, either around lns
fields, or his stock, will meet with my
hearty approval. There isvmnre stock,
killed, annually, I think, il one could
get at the statistics, than would make
good, lawful fences around every field.
In social point of view, it Ia quite
necessary. Half the qnarrels, i'm feel
ing and lawsuits among farmers are
brought about by deprecations Of stock
on crops inadequately fenced. Hence
the necessity of q law that will compel
good fences.
The law advocated by II. f. in virtu-
ally the same law we have always had
ID ante-bellnm times the owner Of the
slave was responsible for his acts pee
unlarily. But now, as the law stands,
the landlord may rent to an irresp0n-
sible tenant-with no fence sufficient
to protect the crop-who, he knows,
will kill my stock if it goes into the
field, aud is not responsible nc all. l
am in favor of Law that will make the
owner OF the land as well as the tenant
responsible for al ! damage TO the crop
aud stock that may depredate on it,
uHless there is iapfti fence around Il
III there ia, then there is no responsible
lity on the landlord. Provided, each
county may, by ballot. decide whether
they will so fence their crops or their
stock.
It seems to me this is the right prin-
ciple. / have no right TO put tenant
in n situation to iniure my neighbOr,
Just that may pocket the rent.
We must have good fences, or we are
all bankrupt. The merchant is not safe
in his advances, or the landlord IN his
rents unless the tenant il protected by
good fence. hope the people will
speak ont so that our representatives,
may act intelligenily on this great
question. Let us agree what we want

spoke with that simplicity 40 tull Of
warmth of which those who have not

leave of his h0st-it was rather late
the latter said to him, smiling, with his
fine arck smile: "Sire, could not pos.

Hydrophobia Panic 10 Ginsg ow.


London Daily Telegraph.
AT Glasgow q terrible panic hrs
lately arisen, due To "a wides prrad
popular belief that hydrOph0bia bod
broken out there IN something like
am epidemic, on, perhaps We should
say, cpiz0Otic form. Stlaightway
the police proceeded 10 slay All the
dogs they found IN the streets nn-
muzzled, and without responsible
guardians. II would appear, how
ever, that the alarm has been some.
what exaggerated.
Dr. q. MI. B. Macleod, the PrOles-
s0r Of Surgery IN the University N
Glasgow, has done good service by
exposing this fact. ln u popular
lecture he delivered the other night
nj Cr0sshill he took occasion to say
that great deal Of the hydro
phObia about which they were
mourning ia Glasgow WAS simply
the creation Of terror. III fact, ID
would seem that, just rs by homo

when they read descriptions of tho
horrors 0f hydrOphObia, which il an
extremely distressing disease, im-
agine when ever o dog scratches

gests, there is little 10 fear from the

would not care, because the an

The Republican Convention I'm
Maine.

This body met on the 9th inst,
and nominated Selden Bonner for
Governor. Among the resolutions
adopted, and prepared no doubt by
Blaine, is one which reads thus:
TIE most kindly and fraternal rela.
tions should be entertained hetween
an sections Of our common country,
and peace. good will, quiet aud har'
mony have always been most cordially
dcsi'pd and lab0red for by the Repnb
licans Of Maine. They believe these
great ends can be secnred only by the
freest exercise Of political opinion, and
the. unrestsained liberty Of party or
ganization. They view, therefore,
with solicitude aud alarm the complete
consolidation Of all political power IN
I6 southern states in the hands 0f those
who precipitated the rebellion, while
white Union men are prosecuted into
silence or banishment, the entire coll
ored race so practically DISTINGUISHED
by force and fear, that in congressional
districts where they have more than
two-tlirds Of the voters they are un-
able to elect one Of their own race or q
white man In sympathy with their in-
terests; 35 representatives ~ Con
gress and IS electoral votes appoftion-
ed to the southern states by reason of
their colored population, are appro-
priafed to the sole aggrandizement ot
Confederate power IA the National
Government, and the late rebel sol
diers in Georgia, South Carolina, MIS-
sissippI and Louisiana are thus enabled
to exert ia the administration Of the
government more than double the po-
litieal power Of Union soldiers 10 any
Northern State.
The convention favored resump-
tion Of specie payments, and iiatly
refused to endorse the patriotism
and craftsmanship Of Hayes.

On Thursday night of last week,

by one Of the train hands on the
Mobile & Ohio X. X. The shot was
from n derringer pistol, the ball eu.
tering Che eye and passing through

at the back Of Che head. We lca
that there was some bad feeling
between the Railroad hands and lhe
town negroes and that threats had
been made by the train hands %

been some disorderly conduct be-
fore. aud on Thursday nj. .ht Mr.
