A PECULIAR FENCE. There is kind OF
fence In use In some OF the districts in
Queensland winch are infested with mar
supials, of which an account is given in o
recent number of the Queensandsr. The
fence is made of wire and saphngS the lat
ter being used In the same way as pAling.
There are various ways Of constructing this
fence, but the most popular method NAV be
described as follows; Round sapling posts
are procured of durable timber from seven
to eight inches in diameter and nine to ten
fe. t long. Three auger holes are bored in
them, one about four feet owe the ground
and the other two within a foot Of each
other at the uppermoSt end of the post, be
CHUNG about six or nine inches from the
top. These posts are inserted in the ground
from two to three feet, according to
the nature of the soil, and at twelve feet
distance asunder. One wire of No. .
gauge is then run through the lowest holes
and t.ghtened. Next saplngs Of brigalow,
lron-wood, ii tree or iron bark are procur-
ed, and if too stout for use as cut are split
INTO TWO, three or more pieces, until light
enough TO answer az palings. They are
generally cnt from six TO seven feet in
length, so as to allow from six to nine in
ches for insertion in the soil, and TO leave
no less than five or six feet above. A Sc
cond wire of No. 10 gauge is then run
through the same hole as contains No 8,
and Is left slack. After making the trench
for the foot Of the palings in lines between
each post, these are placed IN position along
the trench and against the tightened wire,
as close as possible, and the smaller slack
wire is passed around each palmg a d
round the tight wire, proceeding thus unit.
the whole space between each post is filed
up snug and close. Tha earth thrown out
in forming the trench is then put back
against the foot of the palings ana pressed
or rammed In. In the remaining suger-
holes above the palingS wires Of No. s
gauge are next passed aud properly tight
ened, and a marsupial or dingo proof fence
Is the result.

IT is reported that Senator Cameron,
of Pennsylvania, has made the threat
that unless Republican manufactures
rally to the support of the stalwart
State ticket he will devote the balance
of his Senatorial term to defeating
tariff measures. This threat is quite
characteristic of the machine, and in
dictates the methods of bulldozing to
which the clan Cameron would resort
in order to retain its grip upon the
party in Pennsylvania.

dependence of the Temperance Reform for
the future, we regret to know that our Ju-
venile Temples are not more successfully

selves on our return to our several homes to
make an honest, earnest effort to revive and
sustain this department OF temperance work,

some similar society for the children

the liquor traffic is an absolute necessity, and
that our obligation as Good Tempiars, to do

OF such prohibihon, ard that this means
candidates for every office, from pathmaster

the oltrepcatrd statement that religious
