Cattle on the Highways.

We refer this subject for the reason that
last season there was still to be encounter
ed, here and there, cattle walking at large
on the public road, contrary to law and the
public good. The newspapers should, year
after year, make known the law, that no one
may be ignorant Of it, and that they are Ii
able to penalty to thus make pasture-plots
of the highways. Our supreme court of
this state has decided that owners cannot
recover damages for cattle killed on rail-
roads indeed, the opinion was implied that
the owners ought to be held responsible for
the damages sustained by arailroad compa-
ny, by reason of the tresspassing of such
cattle on their property, and by the passen-
gers, ETC., carried upon them. The right
of farmers, moreover, extend further than
the mere ownership Of the grass minerals,
etc, on that portion of the public road on
which their property fronts. There deeds
claim the fee-simple of the land to the CEN
tire of the road, and they continue to own
that land, the public having only the right
of the way over it. Now it has been de-
cided by the courts in the state of New
York that the legislature does not possess
the power to make pasture grounds of the
public roads, and thus give away the prop
erty of the actual owners of the land to 9TH
ers, who have 10 claim to it whatever, and
whose appropriation of it to their own use
is not only a violation of the rights OF the
owners, but direct obstruction to the gen.
eral travel. A person travelling on high
way aud meets an accident from cattle upon
it, whether lying down, as they are in the
habit of doing, or otherwise, the owner IL
liable for all damages incurred.
Whenever this question comes up before
our supreme court-as it must sooner or
| later-there is not the least doubt as TO
what its decision will be. The wonder il
that it has not long ago been done, and the
sooner il shall be better for the farmers O
| the commonwealth, who in various section:
| still suffer serious loss from the depreda
tions of road cattle belonging to neighbor:

One of the animals in its struggles got
