its final passage by the House, and it is more
than likely that it will become a law. tits a
piece Of disinterested advice, but the gay and

hunt tall timber, because it is positive death to
the members of the Legislature If they do not
pass something Of the kind, and it is safe to
say that every member Of them will sacrifice

has been passed by the Senate. In case ofthe
Vice Presidents death or inability to serve, it
gives the Office first to the Secretary of State,

which the Senate approved at the last session
of Congress, but it failed in the House. 1t is
10 be hoped that its fate will be better this
year. Mr.. Hoar's plan is the least complex Of
any proposed, and it would keep the Office in

succession, as well as that relating to the
counting of the electoral votes ought to be

THE called session of the Eighteenth Leg
islature, now, has only about Eve days left of
its legal period, and in case it be but passably
wise it will rigidly economist every minute left
of its legal existence and consecrate it to the
passage of a comprehensive law on fence cut
ting which shall remove or remedy all griev-
ances arising from the enclosure OF the lands of
small land owners by the large pasture men
or the lack of necessary roads, and providing
adequate punishment for destroying fences.
Texas cannot afford to be given over to the
reign OF lawlessness until the meeting OF the
Nineteenth Legislature in January, 1885.
Lawlessness is highly contagious; one lawless
deed proves the fruitful parent of dozen
strapping children. The future prosperity of
Texas depends upon the rigid enforcement oil
the laws by the regular judicial machinery and
the prompt putting down Of every phaze OF
lawlessness. Good citizens should come GU,
boldly on the side Of law and order, and give
their utmost moral support to the officers, who
are charged with the enforcement of the laws
of the State.

himself as a candidate for Coroner Of

decision of the Democratic party at

time for nomination, proved him to be
a worthy competitor. lie has ever
labor0d for the Democratic party, in
whose ranks he might well be termed
a veteran. We know of no man who
more fully deserves the recognition of
the party he has labored so faithfully
for than he. As far rs honestly is
concerned, there cannot be murmer
expressed to the contrary. We do
not present the name of Mr.. Widdoes
because he is a Democrat, but simply
from tho fact that he is man fully
capable of filling the office, and one
for whom all honest men should give
a hearty support.

TO TIE EDITORS OF THE LEDGFE.-
There has been some complaint among
the citizens Of our village that the Col
lege did not provide course of lectures
for the general good, This has already
been done by the College authorities and
now it is hoped and expected that the
people will give them their unanimous
support; for two reasons, firstly on ac-
count of the intellectual benefit to be
derived, and secondly, because they are
gotted up to aid good causes. The next
lecture will be given in the Orotory Fri
day evening, Feb. 29tl, by Prof G. NJ.
Phillips, principal Of the West Chester
Formal School, his subject being ''The
Sum; the proceeds to go to the Presby-
terrain Sabbath School. We can testify
to the ability of the speaker, and to the
extreme interest of the lecture.

The cause being indigestion;
And now her mistress casts aside.
The churn md milking vessels.
Her mistress strove hard in vain.
To keep the breath in Suckie,
But she wagged tail and moaned aloud.
The sad, sad words, tive booked it. "
Two brother friends, bowed down with
yoke,
Bore Suekie away with strong rope,
Her followers were but two in number,
And they left her in Mahan's meadow,
to slumber.
This goodly friend for many years
Has visited neighbore, far and near,
And into corn fields, OIL appeared,
Bringing out rich gold car.

And that amends could be made, in

In the closing of the MiddletowD
Fair, the Dover State and Cecil Co..
Fairs receive additional strength.
These two well-organized societies are
growing immensely popular, although
it cannot be denied that CeciPs Fair
is receiving the greatest boom, The
reason of this may be from the fact
that it is more easily reached than
Dover. The former is nearly midway
between Philadelphia and Baltimore,
where trains can be taken at all hours
Of the day and night, while the latter
is located on the Delaware Railroad,
some forty miles from Wilmington, to
. and from which the accommodation is
limited when taken in consideration
with the formers advantages. OF
course all delay possible is avoided
Our earnest desire is that both fairs
be continued to the best interests Of
farmers and lovers Of sport.
