FARM LAW.
The Question of Boundary Lines as APP

The Question of Boundary Lines as APP
piled TO the Farm.
Having discussed the mode of effect
ing binding bargain for farm, the
obtaining of a title, 10y. patent from the
United States and by deed from indi-
viduals, the question how far the next
farm extends, or boundary lines, come
in natural order. A boundary is any
separation, natural or artificial, which
marks the limits of adjoining parcels
Of land. A natural boundary is an OBJ
Jet remainin : where it was placed by
nature, as a river or stream. An art
tic al boundary is one male by man, as
township or section line. Boundar es
are commonly marked by monuments,
which are permanent landmarks, and
may be either natural or artiic al OBJ
jects, as rivers, marked trees, posts,
C. Bearing the foregoing definitions
in mind an examination of a deed for
farm will probably show that the land
conveyed is described by .(1) monu-
ments, ~ lengths and direction of
lines, and (9) number OF acres. In
eases OF variation, which frequently oc-
cur between these different classes of
description, the monuments will con-
troll. For example, the deed describes
the boundary as beginning at certain
stone pc t. running north so many
cha rs to a rtain stake and stones,
thence due east given distance to
stream of water, thence south along he
stream so many chains to certain
h mlock tree, thence west 9. certain dis
lance to the place Of beginning, con-
taini e spec fed number of acres. In
this description, if the stone post, the
stake and stones, the point on the
river. and the hemlock tree can be
definitely established, the lAnd included
within straight lines connect NJ these
monuments will pass by the deed.
although the length AID direction of the
lines. and numb II of acres contained in
the farm may vary greatly from the
description. This is true even when
the numb Il of acres is definitely ex-
pressed, instead of given with the am

DRUNKARDS' WIVES.

How the Suffering Victims Nearly Always
Take the Part of Their Brutal OPP
pressors.
There never was time when SYM
pathy, beneyolence and philanthropy
were so active as now, but LIE is still
full of situations which seem incapable
of alienation. Take the case of drunk
ards wives, and especially the wives of
those drunkards who develop a ruffian-
ly brutality under the influence of
liquor. 1t would seem surpri ing, when
one considers the suffering of these poor
women, that there are not more cases
of husband-murder. But in fact the
victims of wife-beaters rarel Y seek re-
venge, and as rule they encourage
their tyrants by a submissiveness which
is the despair of magistrates and phila1-
thropists. Not g. day passes but a score
of trampled wives refuse to testify
against their brutal husbands and some
of them VIII even periure themselves
rather than assist the law in Furnishing
the crimes committed against them. A
very startling instance of this tendency
is the case of the POOR woman whose
eyes were deliberately put out by her
fiendish husband, yet who evidently
would not have informed against him
but for the action of neighbors. And
what flood of light is thrown on the
lives of whole class OF woman by the
remark of one of these neighbors that
she did not interfere before, because
she thought McCarron twas only giving
his wife an ordinary beating" Every
policeman and jus tico knows that wife
beating is really as common IN GER
tain grade of society as this remark in
dictates, and probably neatly all these
men of experience wonl1 say that it is
hopeless to try to stop it, because the
victims nearly always take the part of
their oppressors in the cnd.-M !. Trib-

TWO PROBABLE INSTANCES.

Plainly illustrating What the Community
Gains by the Liquor Business.
Let US pursue this further by means
of a couple of supposed instances. such
as occur every day. John Smith has
been, during the week, capable and
industrious workman, earning full
wages every day. Saturday night he
gets his pay and goes to the stores,
where he falls in with boon companions
and spends his weeks wages at the
grog-shop, standing treat and drinking
himself until his money is gone. Late
at night he is put out into the street
drunk, the liquor-sell + having got his
money and being ready to close the
shop. Result the first: The liGuor-seller
has received, say, twelve dollars, of
which at least three-quarterS, or nine
dollars, is profit. Result the second:
Smith is arrested and put into the lock-
up for the remainder of the night; in
the morning lie is brought before
magistrate and fined one dollar and
costs, amounting to at least five dollars,
and usu.lly more, for want of which he
goes to jail for ten days. Result the
third: Smiths family applies to the
oyerSeerS of the poor for assistance,
and they, beng unable to refuse, are
likely to expenl five or six dollars.
Total results, leaving out the moral
Diet rioration of Smith and his family,
nine dollars profit to the liquor-seller,
costs of prose utjon paid by the county,
Smith and his family supported at the
| expense of the town and county for
ten days. and Smiths productive labor
for ten days lost to the community.
At the least calculation, in order that
the li1uor-seller may make his profit,
| the community has lost much more than
an equal amount. In this instance l
have supposed the liquor buyer to spend
a full weeks wages. but the contrast Is
still greater if we suppose, as is more
frequently the case, that the buyer has
only money sufficient to buy liquor
enough to cause his intoXicatiOn; that
he is arrested and committed to jail for
non payment of fine and costs. The
county then has the costs to pay. and
the liquor-seller profit is only very
email percentage of the expense he has
I caused the community. Let us attack
his profit, wherever his trade is injuri-
Gus 10 the public, and we shall be in n
fair way to drive him out of tue bust
ness al ogether, or to DOL ge him to ex-
ercise such care in his management as
to deprive it of its harm. GOrham D.
