And IL was weak and quixolic, grant
you it was unpardenable, admit, now
that look back Upon 1t. But if the girl
reallf loved me if i had unwitting1y won
her heart; if you had led her to believe,
thanks to my own stupidity, that I had
been such blockhead as to confess my
love for heI to you,-why, it was only
right that should abide by my own, awk-
ward mistake. I must have been miTSeui

that loved you and not Flora"

of 5.O9S men. As the two battaliOns
which have gone out within fortnight

seven battalions Of infantry, with strong

a Relic Of Barbarism.

The fence law having passed the
House is now in tho hands of the
Senate. We trust it will pass that
body. The bill as reported has no
Objectionable feature It dccs not
lay down any rule, but simply per
mits tho people of the respective
counties Of the State, except few
specially exempted, to decide by al
election whother the present law
shall be abolished or retained. The
sentiment of the people can thus
be taken, and if the opponents of
the change are in the majority no
harm will be done. If, however, rs
we believe, y large majority, in
the upper counties especially, do
desire the abolition Of the present
absurd law, they should be granted
an opportunity of proving this.
The law providing that stock
shall be fenced out had its origin
ages ago when there was but cons
para lively u small area Of arabic
land in the State. In those days il
was cheaper to mako the farmers
build fences than to require the
stock mon to fence in their i'm
mcnse grazing ranges. Since the
State has become thicily settled,
the conditions are all changed, and
MS agriculture is almost the exclusive
pursuit of the people, all other
minor interests should be subordi-
mated to it. 70 make farmer fence
q thousand acres of land in order
to escape the ravages of some half
starved COW is on absurdity. Worse
than that, in the present impover-
ished condition Of the State the
entailin5 Of such an expense is a
crime. Thousands of acres are
now uncultivated in fairfield, simply
because they have no fences around
them. Remove the necessity for
fences and these lands will be re.
claimed. g.. :
The abolition of fence laws has
been tried in other settled States
