when quick and unerring work with the

Those who let cattle run at large are re
sponsible for all damages. People who will
insist upon turning their stock upon the
public roads to hustle for themselves must
bear in mind that they are responsible, under
the law, for all the damage done by stock
running at large. 1t is common occurrence
for farmer to be overrun by cattle grazing
upon the public roads. Their wheat fields,
their corn fields and their gardens are
trampled and much damage done. The PEG.
pie who turn their cows or horses or pigs
out think the farmer should keep his fences
up or his gates closed; they forget that there
is no law compelling the farmer to have an
outside fence, but there is law making the
owner of cattle running at large liable for
every particle Of damage they may do A
farmer can pen up the cattle, advertise them
and make the owner prove property and pay
charges before taking them away. Now if
the cattle should be penned up you generally
hear huge cry 60 up that the poor man
can't let his cattle out on the roads. They
never think of the damage done to their
neighbors by the cattle and the outrage to
have corn and wheat fields destroyed simply
that some lazy fellow may have his cows
wandering all over the country seeking what
they may devour. The laws are fair and
just to all; let all carry out their part and
there will he no need for blue blazes on the
part OF any one.
81 AND 'eS.-On the 10th day of April
1861, the 9th Massachusetts regiment WAS
mobbed in Baltimore City.
Thirty. seven years afterwards this same
regiment was again nearly overwhelmed in
Baltimore City.
On Saturday last it passed through on it's
way to the seat of war, again toward the
Southland, when it was pelted with bouquets
on the other occasion il was bricke: again
there were shouts. this time of welcome and
praise, before of menace and derisien.
There were some very beautiful sentiments
expressed on Saturday last, of which We
quote those OF Senator Cabot Lodge:
Baltimore City has made history today
She has let fall q rosebud of affection which
