walking down street with his sweet
ness, when a saucy cur, intending
to be playful, ran against the young
lady and threw her to the pavement;

sisted her to arise, ands'in glowing
terms expressed his sorrow and SYM
pathy for her mishap, ooh, it doesn't
matter much" she said "as | had my
new cardinal-striped stockings on"
We accidentally met with steam
boatman last evening, and the course
of our conversation we told him of
Bishops dozen sweet potatoes that

j at one time 10 select o man that lived on
different land and hire him to use his
influence to keep the others from turning
their stock in on his crop until all the
crops were gathered. There are few
people in every leighborhood who only
keep their stock off the crops, thinking
the present law forces them to do SO.
Though they are slow to learn law, they
are annually learning more and more,
! and it only requires lew cases TO be
tried, (which will be tried before long,
because the fencing and the stock are
getting worse every year, and when q
few cases have been tried and decided,
then, as said above, 1t will be known
that trey can let their stock live on the
crops OF others with perfect impunity.
So, Mr. Editor, I deem this a matter
of vast Importance to the welfare of our
County. 1t is case of necessity, and it
is said necessity is the mother of inven-
ton. Well, necessity is the mother of
law, because out of the necessities of a
country has grown all tho lev of the
land. And now necessity demands new
Fence law, because the circumstances
sbf tho Country, the condition of our
fencing, the timber, the outside range,
,the mischievousness of the stock, have
al changed since the present fence law
was put in force. In fact, everything is
50 changed that the present fence law is
: not law at all, and does not apply to
Pur present condition consequently, we
hre ut the mercy of mischievous stock,
lnd if we do not pass the new fence law,
7 md set out of our present dilemma,
ray tell me what are the farmers to do
hope the people will reflect upon
his subject, and ask themselves why is it
ley have to keep a fence about their
: .rms? Then they will sec that it is in
, eler to have stock; will see that it will
: Of take one-quarter Of the fencing to
: hep stock enclosed that it does to fence
, To- crops. 1t has been proved that it
, osts a much to fence the crops as the
r SICK il yorth ! It would be as cheap to
} HE e.y hog and COW in the State.
) hen vc would need no fence at all. If
r ahing will not pay more than expenses,
; " had better not have it to be troubled
! VIII. The proposed law suggests plan
thtswill reduce the expense Of keeping
( stek that will pay, and leave a good
, prif. Should law-as the present
on-7force me to q course in reference to
keysng stock which is not profitable,
. thi ss a losing business on my part.
bchSe, as above stated, that the change
wilWork to the benefit of the poorest
3 cla9 In our land. But suppose it did not
sui every individual. Should almost
9 evSbody be subjected to course that il
I, deShental to their interests just to suit
, a fW persons who compose only very
5 sml portion of our country2 It is m
jusfor it to be so. would not advocate
a curse which would work injury to any
, clasof citizens, and do not believe the
t proused law would do so.

presided the alternative of resignation
fromso political position or removal by
the Resident from the Federal Office.
The Rmal statement of this alternative
was alcken out as srperiluous, since the
open iolation Of personal order of the
Preaient would of course be cause for,
and ould certainly lead to, removal.
The der, as interpreted by the Cabinet
ofiiceYis intended to prohibit any con-
nectio5whatever with any of the various
ward, ,uwnship, county, State, or nation
al orgaizations for conducting political
campaSns. Those who now hold any of
these Editions will be removed if they
continusto hold them after time enough

of newspapers are, as vet, not much affected. The
tone of some of them may be little lowered. indi-
viduals more often insuted, the imputation OF mo-
tives more frequent; but this is not true OF the
best and those which not the best, different
influences are at work, which have brought
about q more sensible deterioration. The meth
cd in which The Daily telegram has dealt
with war news in the interest of the Turks
has been more than pointed out but pointed
out as an exception; and that is not a fault which
has any connection with the sort of decadence
now in question. 1t is but seldom that the Boule-
ward scandal gets quoted in the daily papers; IN one
or two Of them you can never find an allusion to H.
nor any recognition Of the existence of the sheets de-
voted to it, The literary and political weekes keep
pretty clear of it, One of them, indeed, when mas
vainly sought to improve its fortunes by novel In
weekly instalments, has set up budget OF gossip
not much unlike in character the gossip of It's most
frivolous competitors. On the other hand, know
of a journalist IN a very responsible and important
position who has made it rule never so much as TO
look at one of Boulevard papers, who has refused
large offers to write tor them, and who tolcrates no
reference to them In the columns he controls. III
everybody were equally conscientious some check
would be put upon these papers. But the ultimate
responsibility rests with the public; they are writ
