Right OF Way Over Lands.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please state in your query column
whether the owner or purchaser of a
farm has the right to change or discon-
tinue entirely any private paths or out
let's that may be upon the farm at the
time Of its purchase; also, whether mill
paths, or roads leading to and from
grist-mills. can be closed or discontinued
at the pleasure of the owners of the
land upon which the roads are situated.
l..
The owner or tenant of land has right
TO close up any roads or paths through
the same.
The ownership Of land is absolute. No
man may enter upon 1t without the con-
sent of the proprietor, either tacitly or
expressly given; and the public has no
more right to go upon it than an indi-
vidual has, until it condemns the land
and pays the damage, and makes it a pub
lie highway.
Provision is made for this by section
947 of Code Of 1887.
Continuous use Of a road over another's
land by the public. or an individual, never
brings right to use 1t. license Of the
owner permits it, and the license may be
revoked at any time.
Long-continued use of a road by the
public may be shown to prove that il
has been established by law as a public
road-where there is evidence aliunde
or other evidence tending to prove the
fact. But there is no principle better set
tied or so often misunderstood as that
license to enjoy the property of another,
no matter for how long a time it is en-
joyed. gives no right to the licensee to
have it.

badly in front from top TO bottom The
cracks seem to widen and deepen. Can
you tell the cause. and what should be
the treatment? ii. H.. IL.

In most cases it is necessary TO apply

The crack. Trim the edges of the crack
nicely. so as to leave them smooth; then
Sandage the foot firmly with tarred rope.
Wire is also useful to keep the crack
from opening, as the whole secret OF
success is to prevent motion of the parts.
This done. the growth of the horn should
be stimulated by the application OF a
blister TO the coronet and then the crack
will soon disappear.

To the Editor OF the New York SUM-:
Sir.-As close student of the English
Language, l find positive pleasure in read
ing your paper. The freedom from the
Objectionable split infinitive" is quite re-
freshing when compared with its habitual
use by the majority of your contempo-
raries. n
Then, again, the discussions on punctua-
ton are most interesting to those who
would learn to acquire that art philosophi-
cally.
l notice you constantly use though"
instead of III" and would ask if YOU
have good usage i'm your favor when so
doing l am taught 10 use though as
synonym for nevertheless and notwth-
standing. but not as a synonym for II.
In Mondays Sun. under the heading
New Books" your first sentence reads:
1T seems as though" &c.
1t seems TO me that the choice Of words
should be accurate when reviewing. and 1
ask this question. not in fault-nnding
spirit, bat from an earnest desire to know
what is good usage on the subject.
New York, August g. l.. III. d.
Well, for good usage turn to thar ex-
cellent authority on sound English. the
version of the Holy Scriptures made bv
King James's translators You will find
ia Genesis xl., 10:
'And in the vine were three branches.
and ii was as though it budded."
And in Psalms xxxv., Ia:
II behaved myself as though he had
been my friend or brother"
And in Luke TX, SO:
His face was as though he would 70
TO jerusalem"
And in Acts xvii, Is:
Neither is worshipped with mems
hands. as though He needed anything"
If you look further you will find great
many other examples; we peed not ex-
tend the quotations. Some writers of
good English prefer TO use the form ..ss
~ while others prefer "as though" Both
are right.
