Sec. SO, Oh. 81, Gen. Statutes, under which
statute this defendant was organized, provided
that ''each railroad co mpany shall fence its
roads with good substantial fence under such
rules as the commissioners Of the several coun-
ties through which the same may prescribe
That statute does not define in any way the
liability of company for failure to maintain
such sence. Oh. Is, laws of 1872, provides
Section l. All railroad companies in this
State shall within six months from and afte,
the passage of this act build or cause to be
built good and sufficient cattle guards at all
wagon crossings, and a good substantial fence on
each side of such road.
Sec. 2. All railroad companies shall be
liable for domestic animals killed Or injured
by the negligence of such companies, and q
failure to build and maintain cattle guards and
fences as above provided shall be deemed an
act of negligence on the part of such COM
panies. -
The defendant contends that there was no
duty on It's part to build fences on each side of
its track until the county commissioners should
prescribe rules for the same and that at all
events it is liable only for damages done by
cattle rightfully on its lands and strayinp
thence for want OF fences upon adjoining
lands.
The duty to construct fences created by sec
ton SO. chapter "a, general statutes, appears
to have been dependent on previous action by
the county commissioners.
But by section of the act of 1872 this duty
is made absolute and that section operates to
repeal as much of section SO, chapter "a, as re-
quired the county commissioners to pre-
scribe such rules for fences
The theory of the complaint is, that owing
TO the neglect of the defendant to construct
fences along the line of its road and between
Its land and plaintiff s. it is liable for damages
done by cattle passing from its land to that of
plaintiff, no matter to whom the cattle be
longed, and even though they were trespassers
upon the land of defendants At the common
law every owner was required to restrain his
o. cattle and prevent their trespassing upon
his neighbor. But an owner of land was not
liable for cattle of others coming wrongfully
upon his land and thence escaping to the land
OF his neighbor and doing damage. Each own
er was liable only for the trespasses of his
own cattle. or those with the care of which he
was chargeable. The act of 1879 changes this
rule Of the common law SO far as to relieve the
owners of land along the line of railroad from
the duty to construct fences between theirs
and the lands of the company for the purpose
Of keeping their cattle from straying upon the

GLADSTONE doesn't like Beaconfeld's
policy, and took occasion the other day to
criticize it severely. He doesn't believe in
war, but would rather pocket an insult from
an insignificant power than resent it. In
this he resembles our own Hamilton Fish,
who permitted Spain, Venezuela, Chill, and
Mexico to insult and murder American
citizens whenever it suited their caprice,
and scarce protested against the indignity.
But there is another and perhaps better
plan, which Furnishes the slightest indignity
to the citizen with the utmost severity. It
is by pursuing this policy that England has
made herself feared and respected and her
citizens safe wherever the sun shines.

Synopsis Of the annual Report of the p

Synopsis Of the An,s,sat Report of the Par
master General.
Benjamin Alvord, paymaster general Of
the United States army, has just submitted
0 the secretary of war his annual report of
the transactions of the pay department of
the army for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1878. His total disbursements foot up SILL
575,9O3.78, as follows: 70 regular army,
$1l ,121 ,39977; to military academy, $780,
0O9,O4; to volunteers, on treasury certificates,
$258,411.97.
He again recommends legislation to rescind
the paragraph in the second section of the
act of July "a, 1876 concerning .sfree roads, y
which torb1ds payment of mileage for travel
ION any railroad on which troops of the
United States troops are entitled to be trans
ported free of CHARGE" The report wells at
some length upon the onerous working Of
such restriction, and several examples are
given. The ninth section of the act of july
Is, 1878, has developed upon the pay depart
ment new duty, the payment of communica-
ton of quarters to officers entitled to the
same, at rate not exceeding $40 per room.
The paymaster general thinks this rate
inadequate, as much below the actual cost of
the same in those cities where officers with
out troops are compelled to be stationed.
He refers to the draft of bill sent b, him
to the chairman of the joint committee of
Congress on reorganization of the army,
and adds his recommendation that the
resident should have q power of expanding
IN emergencies the number of each company
OF infantry or cavaly to one hundred men.
This would be an economical measure, by
utilizing the present number of commits
stoned efhcers, and saving the necessity of
transporting troops to such great distances
Regiments now are often shuttlecocks. sent
at great expense to and fro over long dis
tances, because no such power exists of tenn
porary expansion of organizations already
near the seat of hostilities. It seems but
small and safe discretion with which to arm
the executive; but Congress may impose, by
express legislation, the duty of reporting
promptly by special message the circum-
stances rendering necessary any excess be-
You'd certain maximum. also recommend
that regimental adjutants and quartermas-
ters shall no longer be extra lieutenants,
but assigned to vacancies in their regiments
as they may occur in their respective grades.
This would eventually reduce by eighty the
numbers of sub-alterns in the army: and
would cause reduction of expenses, per an
mum, of about 1921, 700.
The number of assertions in. the army
during the fiscal year ending 80, 1873, was
1872, which is less than the number in anv
fiscal year since the war. With maximum
of &c, 900 entitled men, the deserticns in the
year 1871 were $500. The number of de-
posts made by soldiers during the last fiscal
year was 1924, amounting the $346, 243.94.
The number is about the same as in the
previous year, but the average amount of
each deposit was $62.6s. This is q larger
average by $11 than the average Of all de-
posts in six years, S5.

that the conflict between the lion and the

looks the fact that thore are more than seven
thousand men stationed at points where SOL
diers are never needed, and that if these
were placed on the frontier where there may
be need of their services, there would be no
complaint of an insufficiency of force.
