WASHINGTON, November a. decision
was rendered in the United States Supreme
Court to-day In the case OF Oswald Broder
VS.. The Natoma Water and Mining COM
pany brought here by appeal from the Su-
preme Court Of California. The most i'm
portant question presented by the case is
whether person who has constructed a
canal or ditch for the purpose of mining
or irrigating upon public lands OF the
United States can be forced to abandon the
same by another person claiming title to
the lands under subsequent government
grant. made to one of the Pacific railroads
in 1865. Congress passed an act for the
protection of the owners of bitches and
canals constructed on land of the United
States and for the establishment of their
rights as against subsequent grantees OF
the government, but the complainant in
the present case acquired title before that
law was enacted and maintains that the
law should not be made retroactive in Or
der to defeat his claims. The court holds
the rights OF the owners of bitches and
canals IN such cases. se rights which the

lists among English veterinary surgeons
as to the value of incubation as prevent
ative of contagious pleuro-pneumonia. In
some Continental countries, and also in
Australia, there is a profound belief in its
efficacy. From an editorial note in the
Veterinary Journal, it appears that pleuro-
pneumonia has considerably diminished in
extent in South Holland during the course
OF the past year. No cases had occurred
in the Rheinish portion of that province
during the last months of the year, though
previously it was most infected. 1t was
therefore considered that the scourge had
been totally suppressed. The application
OF the law OF August s. 1879, had been
productive of the best results, and the
favorable effects of incubation employed
as preventative measure had been every
where most marked. After the inOcula-

all studies are elective. and chewing gum

his food. Garbage is not the food that the
pig selects by preference. In fact, pig

disgusting food. II left to pick mp his Iiv-

as a battle cry to excite the belief
