Farm Law.

Common law is understood to be
founded upon common sense. An
inn-keeper who puts up a horse for
one Of his guests is held responsible
for the safety and security of the ami
NAL while it is in his possession. If
the horse is stolen, or gets kicked and
injured by other horses. or steps foot
tn ough hole in the floor and breaks
a leg, the inn-keeper is ordinarily
liable for the loss or damage so he is
if the stable and horse be destroyed
by fire. An inn-keeper is held liable
as an insurer Of goods placed in his
custody by guest, unless the loss be
due to culpable negligence or fraud of
the guest, or "tO the act of God, or
the public enemy" An inn-keeper
is supposed to keep his stable floors
repaired, his vicious horses in where
they will not endanger others, and to
take upon himself the risks of fire. A
person who takes in horses to pasture
does not. like an inn-keeper, insure
their safety. He is obliged to use
reasonable care, but is not liable for
the wantonness or mischief of others.
If a horse or other animal taken in
to be pastured, be stolen or lost by
accident against which the owner of
the land could not guard, he is not
held responsible. Yet if there was a
particular negligence through which
the animal was lost or became in
jured, or if it were proved that there
was gross general negligence to which
the loss could be ascribed, the grazier
would be held responsible. If the
pasturer leaves the bars down or the
gates open, or obviously weak places
in the fence unrepaired, and the ami
mails stray out and are lost or stolen,
he is using less than ordinary dill
! gence, and must make the loss good.
If dangerous pond hole, swamp, or
muck bed is allowed in pasture, un-
protected by suitable fence, and an
animal taken in to pasture gets stuck

AN IN-GRowN NAIL.-Much suf-
fering is due to the corners of toe.
nails growing into the flesh. The
remedy is very simple. 1t is a mis-
take to cut the nails short at the sore
corners ; if the nail is long, cut the
upper edge straight across, or in a
crescent shape, the crescent in the
center, leaving the corners untOuch-
ed. Then scrape the middle of the
nail, for its whole length, quite thin.
The scraping may be done with a
knife, but more readily by the use OF
a bit OF freshly broken window glass
The center of the nail should be made
so thin that a slight pressure upon
the corners Will bend it. In some
cases it may be well to put q little
Int or cotton under the corners ofthe
nail, to aid in the bending. Ofcourst
the avoidance of tight boots or shoes
will suggest itself to all.

What Do You Sleep On?

Do you sleep upon feather bed /?
We hope not. Years ago feather
bed was supposed to be an important
part of a house keeping outfit. If
you have feather bed, put it in the
spare room, lock the door. and lose
the key. A curled-hair mattress of
the best quality makes one of the
NEST desirable couches, but curled.
mar is expensive and all cannot al
ford it. The next best thing, indeed,
almost as good, is afforded by that
plant, so dear to every American
1armer-lndian corn. Whoever gro S
corn, need not lack for the most com
Portable of beds. We are aware that
licks are sold filed with husks with
Inc stem part left on. A bed of this
Kind is not the kind of husk bed we
have in mind. To make the very
best possible husk bed, save the husks
from the green corn as it is daily
used. The husks are coarse, and
should be slit. An old fashioned
hackel, where there is such an i'm
plement, answers well, but subst-
tute can be made by driving a few
large nails through board, and filing
them sharp. Drawing the husks
across these will slit them into shreds
an inch or less wide. Then put them

"Hon. Louis f. McComas, who
had received the Republican nomina.
ton for Congress in the Sixth Con-
gressional district, is the most indie
fatigahle and scrupulous defender of
his party in that State. His splen-
did canvass of 1876 brought him
within fifteen votes of being elected
to Washington, which it was after
wards asserted the opposition count

year, however, is assured. No one

GARRETT.

We are in receipt ola long com mu.
nication from Mr.. G. b. Ludwig, ed.
itor of the Oakland Democrat, who
assuming to speak by authority
endeavors generally to cOntroverl
the statement of our correspondent
Garrett" that Mr.. Syester's nomina-
ton is an unpopular one in Garrett
county.
To an outsider one opinion might
stand off against the other, but for
good reasons we prefer to believe our
correspondent, for we think he is in a
position to know whereof he speaks.
Mr.. Syester's nomination is an un-
popular one in both Allegany and
Garrett, and doubtless in Washing
ton too.
Passing by that part of Mr.. Lud-
wigs letter which treats ofMr. Syes.
ter and his unpOpuIarity, we come to
live issue, Mr.. Ludwig says:
The resolution passed by the Gar
rett county Democratic convention
casts no reflection upon Judge Rich
ard Alvey, when properlyunderstOOd.
The object of the resolution is sim
PITY to offset any influence Mr.. Reads
illy-cOnceived letter of acceptance
might have upon our people. Mr..
Read, in manner unbecOming
candidate seeking the chiefjudgeship
of this or any judicial circuit, informs
the people thereof that he will, if
elected, place proper persons in the
school boards IN the counties. The
Democrats of this county, IN their res
olutiOn say to the people, so will
Judge Alvey: 1T is our wish as
convention that he should concur
with the other Judges in making the
appointments in question" The dis.
tinguished judge is not arraigned by
this resolution for violating the law,
as your correspondent seems to think,
or as appears in an editorial from your
pen. TO this request his honor will
undoubtedly comply. This is the
true meaning and scope of the reSOlu-
ton used by you to defeat the cleo.
ton of a man in whom there is no
guile.
Let the over, confident Mr.. Ludwig
get from Judge Alvey a single line
in the way of pledge or promise
that he wilLwithdraw from his decla-
ration in writing to the Legislature
in 1876, and hereafter engage in the
appointment Ofschool commissioners.
Without such a statement from
Judge Alvey the rema ks of Mr..
Ludwig about what the Judge will
do may not unkindly be set down to
presumption.-Ct tnl6. News.

OAKLAND, MD, Oct. 7, 1882.
ED. NEWs-SW: Upon conversing
with number of leading Democrats
from ditfrent parts of Garrett county
| find that there is a great deal of dis
satisfaction at the nomination of A
X. Syester for associate judge. Judge
Motter has many friends in this coun.
ty, and it was supposed by a great
many persons that the delegation to
the judicial convention was for him
until the contrary appeared by their
vote in that conventions They of
course are disappointed. Col. Neitch
is popular in this county, and his
friends not only thought he was en-
titled to the nomination, but further
argue that as the other two counties
iii the circuit have each a judge, that
Garrett was entitled to name the
nominee. The bad feeling in this re-
gard extends not only to Col. Veitch's
immediate friends, but to the whole
party in the county, because they feel
that their county as we'll as their cam
didate has been ignored, knocked
down and tramped upon" You may
write it down that the nomination so
far as this county is concerned is not
a strong one.
The Democratic convention in this
county adopted the following resOlu.
ton;
"ReSOiUed, That we shall expect our
chief Judge, If elected, to participate
in the appointment of the school com
mlSsiOnerS as the law now stands
upon the statute book of our State"
True to Democratic instinct our
friends have IN adopting this resolu-
ton made a terrible blunder. 1t is a
terrible arraignment of Their candi-
date for chiefjudge. Itclearly charges
him with q Uioldtion of the law as it
stands on the books and calls upon
him to do that which they know he
will not do if elected. Had they tried
the Democracy could not have more
effectually served the interests of our
candidate for chief judge. Hurrah |!
for the ticket!
Never within the recollection Ofthe
oldest inhabitant have we enjoyed
such glorious weather at this time in
the year. We have not had biting
frost up to this date. Tomato vines
in the gardens are perfectly green and
luXuriant AS well as the leaves upon
the forest trees. All this is in strange
contrast with what we usually have
at this season. l have written the
above to establish my ability as a
correspondent, because a poor letter
writer is he who cannot say some
thing about the weather.
Have the registrars returned their
books yet? This question is pro-
pounded to Clerk Tower every five
minutes in the day and from morn
ing until night. You may see poll i.
clans big, politicians little, politicians
young and old and of every shade of
opinion and especially those without
any opinions at all climbing the hill
to the court house to examine the
aforesaid books, and every one OF
them so far as ] can learn succeeds in
convincing himself at least that his

one takes in an animal to pasture,
ana at the end of the season the ami
mai Is in poorer condition than when
taken, the owner Of the pasture is
understood to be anSwerable, unless
1t can be shown that the animal has
some constitutional defect which is
the cause of his leanness, and that it
is not from having been kept in a
poor pasture. The case would be
different if the owner of the animal
knew at the time the pasture was
hrst occupied how many animal were
to De kept in it, and consented to the
arrangement. In this case he would
have no remedy, though the feed be
eaten to the roots.
Ii a party hire a pasture and agree
upon certain price to be paid for the
feed growing upon it for specified
term, the lessor does not become
liable for the quality of the feed that
grows, unless it can be proved that
there was an implied understanding
that the feed should be fit for the eat
age of animals. An accidental dis
tribution ofsome poisonous substance
over the field, as in manure, or other
wise, does not hold the owner of the
pasture liable. The party hiring has
taken such risks upon hi sown should
ers.
If cattle which are afflicted with
contagious disease, break away from
their owner and stray into adjoining
pastures and infect other cattle with
the disease, the owner of the trespass-
ing cattle is responsible for the dam
age arising from the spread of the
disease, and also for the injury done
to the grass by the tramping over it
of his infected animals. 1t is TIE duty
of owners and keepers Of animals to
restrain those animals, and the public
at large are not required to protect
themselves or their property by fenc-
ing or otherwise.
If an inn-keeper puts up a horse
belonging to a guest. the former has
a lien upon the horse for his keep,
whether he puts him in his stable or
turns him into his pasture, but if
man takes in horses or cattle to pas
ture at certain price per week, or
by contract, he cannot detain them
for the payment of their keep unless
a special agr' ement to that effect.
BY the common law no lien exists in
the ease of pasturement. The owner
of aAi'nels pastured does not relin.
quish entire possession, as, if he did,
he would not have the right to milk
his cows while being pastured by an
other party, nor to take them away
at any time he saw fit but if special
agreement be made that the pastur-
ing shall be paid for before the cattle
are removed, then the pasturer has
lien. and can hold the animals for
payment, and the owner would be
liable for an action in trespassing
should he attempt to remove them
without first making payment.
