ON the heel" and he philosophise :
thusly III his sick chair:
! you have often heard how nice
, it must be TO be just sick enough To
sit i'll an easy chair, gaze ut the beau
, ties of nature and art, listen to the
twittering of the birds, the buZZing
b of insects, the racket of trains, and
! other things TOO tedious to men
:, ton Theoretically, all this is very
nice, if not somewhat enchanting /;
but when il comes down opersonal,
2 practical application, all these seem
ing attractions are vanity and vcXa-
tion of the spirit. Instead of it all,
l we prefer robust hath, with the

: Governor Beaver has signed the
I Hawkers' and Peddlers' bill intro
p duced by Senator Alexander and
p passed through the House by the
Y aid of our Representative and other
l friends of the measure. 1t abso-
lutely prohibits the hawking on ped
, ding of foreign or domestic goods
. without II license, except that man
ufacturers may sell articles of their
own manufacture without such Ii
. censc. License to hawk and ped
die can now be only obtained
through the courts on certificate
from two physicians that the appli.
cant is unfit for manual labor. .-FHt-

The repeal of the fence law of 1900
briefly leaves the situation thus;
|. There is no law for cattle run
ming Mt large, whether fences are
good, bad, or no fence ut all,
=, .. Damages can berecovered now
caused by cattle or horses trespass-
[ ing on the lands of others's.
a 3. The general law only has been
, repealed; any county that has spe-
cial fence law, such law is not re-
pealed- no special act being repeal
Q ed, but still in force,
' 4. Under the repeal, therefore, OF
, the act of 100, horses, cattle, or any
: live stock ut large in Snyder county,
will make the owner liable for dana
l ges done by same, fences or no fen
o ces.
= This is about as concise ms we can
: make it, and will do to paste in your
hat for reference.
