Hired Men and the Law.

| Few farmers have correct idea of
the extent of their liability for acts of
hired help. Judge Parish, in late
address before the Grand Rapids
(Michigan) Farmers Club, explained
the rules of the common law in rela-
ton to the torts and negligence of
farm employees. The farmer accord
ing to this authority, SIS responsible in
damages to third persons for wrong
acts or negligences of hired help osca.
sioning injury, whether the act be one
of omission or commission whether in
conformity to his orders or even in dis
obedience to them, by negligence,
fraud, deceit, or even wilful miscon-
duct, so long as it was in the course of
the employment. For instance: The
farmer has horse affected with the
glauders or heaves, and ne orders his
hired man to take it out on the road
and sell it or trade it off. He is told
not to warrant or recommend the
horse, or to resort to any jockey tricks
in order to make sale. The first per-
son met is stumped for a trade. The
hired man is asked if the horse is
sound, and he answers, Perfectly so;
not blemish or fault about him and
that he would not be afraid to warrant
him" The trade is made, and the en-
ployer is liable for the deceit, because
the swindle was in the course of en-
ployment. ......i.,....
a hired man in driving a neighbor's
COW out of his employers corn-feld,
killed it with a stone. The court held
the employer liable for tie value of the
COW. ..r....................
A hired man taking by mistake a
bag of barley instead of oats, fed some of
the grain to the horses, put clevis in
the bag and left it in the old place,
saying nothing about the matter. The
farmer filled the bag with ears of corn
and took it to the mill in grinding tie
clevis injured the cracker. The farmer
was held for the damage.
A farmer is liable for trespas, of his
hired man, done honestly in the course
OF his employment-as cutting timber
on land of an adjacent proprietor.
1t being the duty of the employee to
unload certain load of wood, and by
throwing it overheard he accidentally
or pnrposely wounds by stander, the
employer is liable. But if the unload
ing was no part of his duty at the time,
there would be no liability. The test
of responsibility is not whether the act
was done according to instructions, but
whether done in the prosecution of the
work he was doing for his employer,
If the hired man, in performing a par
ticular act in a particular manner, de-
parts from instructions to infiict a wan
ton injury on third person, the EN-
ployer is not liable.
We give the above as both impor-
tant and interesting information, and
to impress upon farmers the necessity
of extreme caution in choosing help.
There are other grave reasons why care
should be exercised in this matter, but
this is sufficient for the present. Negh-
gent, careless help can inHict serious
loss upon their principal, even when he
thinks himself least liable.--Prairie
Farmer.

How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar inn
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part of a
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
soitened the metal and gave ii the pliability
Of lead rather than the elasticity of silver,
Under the improved methods, each part
of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape, The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering soitensit,
To test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of 3 OF, weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it viii not give, while case of same
weight Of any other make will give enough
to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

AS the number of MOnsignors and their
grades in the United States is increasing
It may be of interest to give their different
degrees. First, there are the s'Partici-
pants" and these always reside in Rome !:
next the "PrOthonOtaries" and the do
nestle Prelates.' All of these have the
title of Right Reverend, and receive their
title and dignity for life. BY custom the
Vicar Generals of Cardinal Bishops are
made Monsignors. There are also the
'Camerieri Segreti," or Secret Chamber
lains, who retain the title only
during the lifetime of the Pope
who creates them. These are classed
as Very Reverend. There are minor
grades of no Importance, they being
simply attaches of the Papal Court as
supernumeraries and all advance as cir
cumstances may require. The habit Of
the Cnamberlains is kind of purple vest
ment which goes to the feet, with a sash
and purple buttons. The habit of the

signOr, and other members of the papal
household is a purple mSrinO cassock.

THE AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION

THE CLOSING OF THE SESSION.


The A gricuIturists Wind Up the Bust

Rome.
The closing session Of the State Agri-
cultural Convention was held last night.
The members of the society met at the
hall at O'Clock for the distribution of
badges and passes for the Florida eXcur-
sion. This consumed considerable time,
and the convention was not formally
opened until O'Clock.
The President announced the introduce
tiOn of resolutions in order.
THE NEXT CONVENTION.
Mr.. Hamilton, of McDufiie, moved a re-
consideration Of the resolution adopted at
the morning session fixing Decatur as the
place for holding the August convention.
The motion was seconded and cOnsidera-
BILE discussion followed as to the advisa-
bility of a change.
Pending the vote upon the question,
Hamilton Yancey, Esq, of Rome, arose
and extended, in behalf of the delegation
from FLOYD and the citizens Of Rome, an
invitation to the society to hold its next
convention in that CITY.
The reconsideration of the resolution
fixing Decatur as the place was unanl-
mOusly voted, and the invitation of the
delegates from Floyd was accepted.
Mr.. Ysncey assured the Society that its
members would be received with hOspi-
tality, ana the citizens of Rome would eX-
tend to them the best the city could afford.
DIR. w. Z. Jones, OF Burke, moved the

prOYal of the convention in reference to

Henderson to incorporate in his monthly
agricultural report the reports of the eX-
perlmental stations in Germany, France,
and other European countries, as valuable
information to the farmers of Georgia.
The resolutions were adopted.

The resolution offered on Tuesday by
Mr.. ;. T. Whatley, of Coweta, recon-
mending the farmers Of Georgia not to
sign guanO notes, and requesting the
Legislature to repeal the law for analysis
and inspection Of guano, was taken from
the table.
Mr.. Whatley supported his resolution
~ cha!ro9.."-@@ the existence proved in the
analysis and inspection of the guano, and
urged the members of the convention as
farmers not to sign guano notes.
An animated discussion followed, and
the resolutions were finally referred to a

The Postman's Picnic Day-SOmething
About Valentines.

1t may be Of interest to the subjects Of
St. Valentine to know that the postage on
sealed Valentines is two cents for half
once and one cent If unsealed, whether
for delivery in the city or elsewhere. Val
entines mailed in violation of these re-
quirements will not reach their destina
ton, bat be sent to the Dead Letter Office
as unpaid matter. The origin of the Gus
tom which attends the 14th of February,
and of which to-day is the anniversary, is
charged to the Romans, who celebrated
about this time the feasts of Pan and
Juno, called the LUpercalia, on which Oc-
casiOn it was customary for the young
men and maidens to choose companion
for the year. In England and Scotland
st. Valentines day was formerly joy
Gus occasion. Then the lover, instead of
sending valentines breathing love, went
himself: and he whe should first gain the
glance of a fair maiden on Valentines
morn was her valentine for the year.
Later, when writing became more gem
eral-and finally when printing became
cheap and p0pular-the ancient customs
fell into decay, and valentines" grew to
be the fashion.
