introduced by Mr. Eanes. OF Henry pro-
Nidirg against the trespass OF cattle IN
order TO make the new fence law ehectNe.
A fine OF one dollar n head Is prescribed
IN each Instance IL was thought That the
provisions should only apply to the
counties where a fence law Is In existence.
Colonel Logan and Mr.. Randolph Har-
rison were appointed subcommittee TO
frame a hill comprising the provisions
suggested by various members OF the
committee.
some discussion was raised over Colonel
l.ogan's bill providing that partners oil
county and corporation judges shall not
practice I'm courts over which the latter
preside. Judge Shelley thought the
amendment would create a hardship, the
salaries or county judges only being $So,
unless in cases where the salaries had
been raised by special statute. As long
as the State had not raised the salaries
b. thought the law should better remain
as 70 was now.
Mir. Hathaway Of Lancaster stated
that bill was pending in the Senate
for the purpose OF raising the salaries OF
circuit and county judges. and he thought
la n
bill by until the other measure had been
disposed Of. Messrs Logan and Hunton
were appointed subcommittee TO redraft
The bill.

missioners in cbancery in Manchester

provides for the payment of damages for
cattle killed by railroads where the track
has not been fenced i'm. The bill provides
that railroads shall be liable for damages
caused 10 cattle injured where tracks

that they should be enclosed. the law
does not give any power by when ran

PEOPLE AND EVENTS.

THE customs authorities of Boston
have decided that the works of lola
are immoral, but not obscene.
"FERGY" MALONE, the once famous
baseball catcher, has been reported
dead, but enormously SO. He is and
has been for several years a special in
spector in the United States customs
department in Philadelphia.
WILLIAM WATsoNs health is said to
be now almost completely reestab-
lished. He is able to spend consider
able part of each day in literary work.
A sonnet by him was recently printed
in the Westminster Gazette.
THE enforced abstinence from books
and periodicals after the operation on
his eye was most irksome to Mr.. Glad
stone. He made the best of his idle
ness by having one of his secretaries
read the second book of the Hneid to
him in the original, but frequently he
would take the Latin words out of the
readers mouth and recite them from
memory.
