A Law Point.-A married woman gave her
husband an ordinary promissory note which he
Ind discounted. When fhS was sued upon IL by
! he bank she set up the defense tina, she not
bound TO pay ". The bank claimed that the Law
would imply that her estate was benefited by the
discount The court decided for the defendant.
and said; ~ married woman cannot bind herself
by contract, unless the obligation L. created BIZ
her for the benefit u her separate estate or in the
transactions of trade or business carried on by
her. IL note Is given by her for property pur-
chased, she will be bound by il. But no impiica-
ton, presumption or impression will be raised By
the making Il Promssory note that the money
received by IL will benefit her business or estate
To give an ordinary note force and effect against
her, evidence outside of IL must be given 10 show
tina, Il was made for the benefit Of her separate
estate or in the course Of her separate business"
Important Declsion.--Judge Yelio,t deiiv-
cred the following opinion In the Court Of APP
pcals, recently, in a case from Carroll county,
where farmer was induced to sign his name TO
an alleged agency for n washing. IN achinc. and by
this means was deceived into putting his name .
blank piece Of paper which was filed up
promissory note for $3.50 The note was sold TO
third party, who sued on IL. These facts were
proven on the trial below, and the court below in
s,Fuc;ed the Jury that the defendant had gi' en- no
evidence 20 prove he was not legally responsible.
The court says that this ruling Was In error and
rererses judgment below. The gist Of this de-
eision Il that the note obtained by fraud, and
fngrcfore not binding and could not be collectcd.
P3tfsons purchasing notes from irresponsible par
ties wili-do well to make a note Of this.

Protection for Sheep. give piaceto the
following article from an exchange. In reference
to the protection Of sheep from dogs: Farmers
in New jersey use goats TO protect their sheep
from dogs. Two goats can drive away a dozen
dogs. aud two are about all each farmer puts with
his sheep. As soon dog enters the field ut
night the goats attack him, and their buting pro.
pensiiies are too much for the canine. who soon
finds himself rolling over and over. few repct-
tivns Of this treatment causes the dog 10 quit
the feld, limpipg and yelling. Formerly. when
Dog entered n sheep fold at night, the sheep
would run wildly around and cry piteously. Since
the goats have been used TO guard them they form
10 line behind the goats, and seem to enjoy the
fun"
