Wire, Fences without Barbs.

The Clinton Age has found new way
to end the barb-wire controversy, and
that is to dispense with the barb. That
is certainly very direct method-if it
can be done. The Age asserts that the
barb is source of profit to the holder of
the patent and not essential in a wire
fence. Some years ago smooth wire
fences were quite commonly used, but
being poorly constructed, attached to
stakes driven in the ground, or to posts
set great distance apart, the wire sag
ged, and became useless to turn cattle.
About the time wire fences were. being
abandoned the barb was attached, and
with that improvement the posts were
well set, rod apart, the wire drawn
taut; so that no sag was possible, and
great pains were taken in building up
the fence. The Age suggests that the
additional expense of the barb, if put into
an increase of the size and strength of
the wire, with the same care taken in the
construction, would make a better and
more durable fence than the barb-wire,
thereby dispensing with the cruel cattle
killing prongs. 1.-The barb wire fence is
an lnhuman invention" says the Age.
Whenever the West organizes society
to prevent cruelty to animals, its first act
will be to destroy the barb-fences." With
the restraint of hogs and sheep by law,
many farmers find it practicable and
economical to use only one barbed wire

forbidden by the law of love, and as the
wire without the barb is a sufficient pro.
lection, the barb ought to be prescribed.
We have heard of numerous Injuries in

The time for the presentation here of
Hazel Kirke, by the New York Madison
Square Theatre Company, is drawing
rapidly near, occurring at the Opera
House on Friday evening, 10th inst.
Apart from the interest centered in the
play, there is strong desire to see this
splendid company, which is universally
conceded to be one of the best ever organ
lied. Heel Kirke," which has already
seen more than 1,50O representations, and
which has been before the public. night
after night for the past several years,
needs little praise to commend itself to
public favor. This play, with its exquis-
lite portrayal of domestic life, has endear-
ed itself to the people beyond all prece-
dent, its popularity extending through
out the entire country. Its pathos, ire
sistible humor, and quiet naturalness,
unite in making it the most fascinating
of plays. 1t is of pure, moral tone, and
teaches many wholesome lessons. "Haxel
Kirke" will be presented here with the
same scenery and stage equipments that
have signalized its production in the
larger cities. There is every indication
that there will an unusually large audieu-
&c in attendance, and the advisability Of
securing seats early is respectfully sup-
gested.

DAVID G. WALLIS Own STORY
As great deal Of interest is manifested
In the recent whipping of a servant girl
by David G. Wall, and as but little has
been published as coming from the &C.
cused direct, we give his statement of the
affair on the authority of gentleman
whose word we have never had reason to
doubt. He received 1t from Wall in per-
son and 1t is as follows: The girl, on the
day on which the whipping occurred, had
gone of to tenant house on another part
of the farm and when she returned Mrs.
Wall ehided her for leaving the house,
whereupon she turned upon Mrs. Wall,
and her husband then appeard upon the
scene with carriage whip and struck the
girl across the shoulders with it, which
has caused all the trouble. He further
ststes that he did not spirit the girl away,
but that she was removed to where she is
now staying, upon the advice Of the JUS
tice before whom she made her statement.
he further says that many Of the accusa-
tons made in the various newspapers can
not be substantiated. The shove does
not coincide altogether with the published
reports of the affair, but as 1t comes from
the man himself it j. wo rthy Of publica-
ton. We also learn he has commenced
suit against William B. Wills, editor and
proprietor of the Herald Tor libel, in re-
porting the affair, and claims damages in
the sum of $4,000.

We much regret to announce the death
of Mr.. Charles Stokes of Rancocas which
occurred on Monday evening. He was
respected and beloved by all who knew
him. At the advanced age of 81 years,
far beyond the allotted time of man, his
mind was bright and all his faculties
were retained until death set its seal upon
him, and he passed away peacefully, pre-
pared and ready.
Mr. Stokes was born in Willingboro,
August 18th. 1871. He married Lucy
Jarrett of Montgomery Co. Pa, in 1916.
Besides holding various township offices
he was in 1880 sent to the lower House Of
the Legislature from this county and SER
we'd his constituents in that capacity we'll
and faithfully. After 1885 he declined
further service at Trenton In the capac-
ity of Assemblyman. In 1874 he was
elected member of the Constitutional
Convention and was one of the leading
spirits in that body.
Friend Stokes then passed out of public
life, and save being a Director of the
Mount Holly Insurance Company from
its institution to the day of his death, he
has occupied no public position. October
21st, 1876, Mr.. and Mrs. Stokes celebrat-
ed the sixteenth anniversary of their
marriage. The funeral will take place
tomorrow friday at IL 80 P. NJ, at
Rancocas Meeting House.

Great satisfaction has been caused BIZ
the announcement made that the Penn

q pass system by which all the employees
may travel without charge between their

is received all the more gratefully, since

were cut off on Jan. 1st. This last cut.
off included almost every employee Of
every class, among them men who had
never paid fare, but who had always
ridden either on passes, under their gen.
eral character as known employees, or,
during the last seven or eight years, were
passed on their uniforms. The trouble
has, however, been to make the system
universal without subjecting It to abuse.
This, after careful investigation, it is now
intended to do by means Of general pass

Every employe Is to have pass, but IN.

make 1t impossible for him to use it ex-
