PASTURE GATRs.
We hear OF much complaint from trav-
elers concerning the miserable gates that
7. many Of the pasture-owners have put up
0 for people to shut going In and out OF
h their pastures.il II pasture-owners expect
manila n na
up gates that are easy to open and shut,
e and they should also put good substantial
Z posts just inside and outside their gates
z for travellers to hitch their teams to while
y opening and closing the gates. Some of
$ the gates between Cotulla and Oakville
:. deserve TO be torn down ana burned up,
and the owners Of the gates not be per-
d mitted to put gate across the road until
4 they are willing 10 put up one that can be
easily opened and closed. The very men
j, who have the shabbiest gates are the
ones, too, who are loudeat IN their abuse
f. Of travellers who leave their gates open.
m Put up good gates, and nine-tenths of the
OF travelling public win close them-I Co

ia SWEARING LITERALLY.
les The case of Annie Collins and George
her husband, and William Murrel ha
ZEE not been called in any court so IA
ro. George charged Murrel and his viii
ken Jointly with an infraction, the penalt
OF for which is fine not to exceed $l0C
, nre and not to be less than $780, Ann
ave charged her husband with making serol
Just threats and striking her, Incidentally r
a 0se ferring to an occasion wherein he drew
lers six-shooter on her. Yesterday Annie a
ar's peared before Justice Davis, attended
ave an elderly colored man of comfortab

sla. ing to let George 70 If he would wit

tho she inquired the cost Of a family COME
I'm. sion all around, as she appeared willil
nor to admit that she was guilty as charg

oar so. Finding that the fine could not

ore ated her innocence, and said she wou
tles stand the hazard OF the die. The coup
