One gets an idea of the amount OF
voting done in the city of New York
by some of the figures about the bal
lots. Nineteen and half million bal
lots we're printed for the citizens OF the
metropolis; it required two hundred
tons of paper to print them, and they
were hauled away from the printers
establishment in twelve big vans.
Chicago may have registered more
votes than New York, but We doubt

FARM LAw.-Farmers, as we'll as
other men, are held responsible for
their acts. IF the farmer hires one
or more men, he is liable for what
ever damage they may do while SO
engaged in his businhss, either
through carelessness or ignorance.
II the hired man takes load of hay
to town to sell, runs into lamp-post
and breaks it down. or brushes in a
store window, the owner OF that team
is responsible and must make good
the loss. If you have vicious bull
or stallion upon your farm that you
know to be dangerous and you hire
a man to attend such stock, not
warning him in the presence OF wit.
nesses before he sets to work, and
the animal Injuries the man, you are
liable for his injuries. If you send
your man to cut downa tree and the
tree falls down upon your neighbor's
shed or COW, you are liable, as your
man was not competent. If you hire
your horse to your help to go to the
city on business for himself and the
horse runs off and Injuries any one on
the street, you are not liable, as he
was not your agent at that time, and
be alone is responsible for all dam
age. If one of your men through
carelessness Injuries a fellow work
man, you are not responsible, as the
workman knew when he was employ
ed that he must run the ordinary
chances of injury in his work. But
you would be liable if your hand was
operating any farm machinery that
was known to be weak and defective
and through such defective machin-
cry cause injury to a fellow work
man. This would apply in the case
Of a defective boiler, or a wagon
whose wheels were known to
be weak or rotted; the boiler bursts,
and the wagon breaks down and
throws the man under the load and
breaks his leg. You are liable for
such damage. You must furnish
good machinery to your men with
which to work.

large hosiery mills. giving employ
ment to hundread of our people and
paying out about $4,000 in wages
monthly. From this organization
grew the motive power which drew
hither this valuable prize, the Bull

society by taking small contribution
in the shape of weekly intallments
has raised the enormous sum ofnear.
ly $4,000 which has been used and
may continue to be used in the
establishment of manufacturing
plants. This is what We call accom-
plishing wonders, and if the people
OF Martinsburg had been told in the
beginning that that sum of money
would have to be raised the project
would certainly have been dropped
in despair. 1t shows what may be
accomplished by constant, united
and earnest efforts, and certainly
Martinsburg never needed such eff
forts as now. 1t is the solemn duty
OF every citizen, of every profession
and calling to put forth his best ef-
forts in helping our town, and our
homes. .--Statesman.

to be watched with peculiar interest
by West Virginians, it being mat

Upon retiring some members of the
family failed to shut off the draught
of the parlor stove and about mid
night the inmates were awakened by
the smell of smoke. Immediate in
vestigation showed that the mantle
had caught fire from the stove and
the fire was put out with neighbors'
assistance before much damage was
done. The loss, which is small was
fully covered by insurance in one OF

Panic in a Church.

RoMNIY, W. VA, Jan. 24.-There
was narrow escape from a fearful
catastrophe at the Methodist Church
South, in this place last night. A re-
vival meeting was in progress and
the church was packed to the doors.
Suddenly, while the excitement was
at its height and the mourners' bench
was crowded, the floor began to sink.
Under the church is a cellar seven
feet deep, and all expected to be pre-
cipitated to the bottom of it. In.
stantly there was panicky rush for
the doors and windows, and people
we're thrown down and trampled I'M
der foot. Fortunately, the floor on
lv sank about six inches, and order
was restored before many were Sc
riously injured. About twenty peo-
pie were hurt, but none seriously.

A New WAY TO KILL THEM.-A
remarkable bill has been introduced
in the OHIO Legislature by Repre-
sentative Howlen Of Stark
county, at the reqrest of a
physician who is one of his constitu.
ents. The bill opposes hanging and
provides that all murderers sentenc-
ed to death shall be put out of the
way by means OF an@sthetics which
are to be administered under the su
persision of board of physicians and
scientists. The condemned man bay
ing been placed In a painless sleep,
the scientists are to be permitted 10
take thee top of his skull off and
watch the action of the brain, or lay
bare his heart and other vitals and
study life there. The author of the
bill has flooded the city with circu-
lars In support of the measure, argu-
ing that its passage would give sci
entlsts an opportunity to study the
currents of life as they have never
been studied and would undoubtedly
result in the most wonderful and
beneficent discoveries in the benefit
