1t is a fact universally acknowledged, that
throughout this entire valley, there is more
fencing being done this year than in any pre-
vious one. The cause Of this is to be found
in the fact, perhaps, that the plains are sc
covered with stock, that the land owner i:
obliged to fence in sufficient, at least, for his
cattle, or let them run the risk of starving in

Ess- The Little Rock True Democrot and Batesvile Sentinel and other democratic JonlnaIS in this State are doing the demo- crats of Phillips county injustice. It is not intentional on their part but for the want of proper information. They contn- ue to call the meeting that was held in this city ill May last as the action of the de- mocracy ol Phillips county. It was not a meeting of the democratic party; it was simply promiscuous crowd assembled to to hear speech against the regular demo- cratic party and its abest and most faithful leaders; and after coming together thus without any intimation that there was in contemplation democratic meeting Col. Hlndman and his friends resolved them selves into a so called democratic meeting. Although there were present more than a hundred persons, yet only about thirty or forty took any part in it, and were there as simple lookcrs-on. The State Rights De- mocrat gased and blowed over it as if it were all a reality, and the then editor was doing his best to serve his master and did not scruple to deviate from the truth.

 In fact there was no call for democratic meeting, and even after those wonderfully strange and anti-demacratic resolutions were produced to the astonishment of eve rybody except Col. Hindman and his sate- lltes Tn an half hours time sutficient'num- Der of democrats could have been assembled from the streets to have voted down every one of their resolutins. We hope those papers will not call it meeting of the de- mocrats of Phillips county, for they have not deserted their principles and taken up for the lniputy or taking per diem; neither are they opposed to Judge Sebastian; nor have they lost their faith in the True De- mocrat and support the one idea one man old hne democrat. If the candidates were nominated on those resolutions next week, and the democrats were to bring out sepa- rate ticket, the democratic ticket would be elected by an overwhelming majority. We honestly believe that two thirds of the people of Phillips county condemn those resolutions and oppose the faction that pass ed them.-Hetena Note- Book

SEVERE PENALTY FOR KISSING PRETTY WoMAN.-A curious trial was recently held at Middlesex Sessions, in England. Thos Saverland, the prosecutor, stated that he was in the room when the defendant, Caro- line Newton, and her sister, who had come from Birmingham were present.

 The latter jokingly observed that she had promsed her sweetheart that no man should kiss her while he was absent. tbeing holi. day-time Saverland considered this as a chal lenge, and caught hold of her and kissed her. The young woman took itas joke, but her sister, the defendant said she would like as little of that fun as he pleased. Saverland told her if she was angry he would kiss her also; he then tried to do it, and they fell to the ground. On rising the woman struck him; he again tried to kiss her, and in the scufflc she bit off his nose. The action was brought to recover damages for the loss of the nose. The defendant said he had no business to kiss her; if she wanted kissing she had husband to kiss her-a better looking man than ever the prosecutor was. The jury, without hesitation, acquitted her; and the chairman said that if any man at- tempted to kiss a woman against her will she had perfect right to bite off his nose, if she had fancy for so doing.
