Colcmuian: Will you allow mo space, in your col. umns to say that Mr. Krickbaura was right In voting to repeat the fence law of 1700. In considering this matter wo must not lose sight of the fact that thts Act of As. sembly imposed a duty upon the landown ers other than that of common law. The taxed land area In Punna In round num bers is 80,000,000 acres. East of tho nine-ty-flfth meridian the cost of building and repairing fences is SO cents per acre, It therefore costs the farmers of Pcnna. $9,- 000,000 (an average of $ JO to each farm) to shut out the roving cattle of his neigh bor and If every man must uso his land so as not to injuro another, and if th n ere act of breaking through an imaginary boundary is in violation of the right of property and constltucs an action nf tres pass, we fail to sec the justice of a law that compels the spending o' $20 a year to protect crops from straying ca'tle, and common light demands that such laws be repealed . It is 190 years since this law was placed upon the statute books and the theory then prevailed that the object of a fence was to keep stock out, but in theso trying times with the farmer this becomes an Imposi tion that is unreasonable, oppressive in its tendency and a grievous burden from which the farmer should be relieved. Great changes havo taken placo In our agriculture since that net was passed, and its pcrnlclousness Is apparent from the fact that it prevented auy change I in the mode of fencing which is necessary and is taking place even in localities where rails and logs can yet be had. And further it has long been a dend letter as shown by the fact that It had fallen Into disuse and tho lower courts havo time and again de cided that almost everything olso was tho law, until tho Supremo Court of Pcnua. defined the fence law of this State and set tled the following points: 1. That the owner must fence to shut out the cattle of other people. 2. Unless your lands are enclosed by a fence Ave feet high of rai7 or loot you can. not maintain trespass for damages by roy. ing cattle. 3. A recovery cannot be had in any case for damages which the negligence of tho plaintiff contributed to bring on him self. From tho third point of the syllabiiB it Is plain that in any case no recovery could bo had for it would be an easy mat ter to show that damagts wire caused by negligence of the owners and that he con. tributed to bring tho loss on himself by not having a lawful fence. The farmers of Penna. Bhould be per- mltted to raise their corn and wheat free from such conditions as the law of 1700 Impose, and tho repeal of this law was in tho interest of tho farmers and whoever was instrumental in briugiog this about was a friend of the farmer and to him is due and ho should receive the thanks of the entire farming community.

After an illness of several months ox. sheriff U. II. Ent died on Tuesday the 6th Inst. He was a son of tho lato Hon. Peter Ent of Llghtstrcct, and was born January 13, 1833. llo received a common school education, and In October 1801 ho enlisted in Company D. Elghly-fourti Pcnnsylva. nla Volunteer Infantry, and was elected first lieutenant. Ho served for a yesr, and was then honorably discharged on account of physical disability. Ho participated In tho following battles: Winchester, Port Hepubiic, Cedar Mountain, Thoroughfare Gap, and Bccond Bull Hun. In 1803 he again enlisted as an emergency man, and wag made Captain of Company II, Twcnty-clghth Pennsylvania Volunteer Militia, and served six weeks. After that ho returned to Llghtstrcct and followed farming and milling for ten years. In 18S0 ho was nominated for sheriff by tho Greenback party and was elected, and served tho term of threo yoars. For sever al years past ho has been employed as book-keeper at Krug's planing mill. Mr. Ent was married Juno 10, 1803 to Helen M. Martz of Pottsvillo, and six chil dren wcro born, Alonzo M. Kamsay M. Oscar W. Nelllo M. Jcsslo E. and Minnie, all of whom survive. Ills mother, now an aged lady, Is the only survivor of his father's family. She has buried her hus band and Ave sons, all of tho latter having reached manhood. They wcro William , Gen. Wellington U., Oscar W., Kobert S. and Uzal II. Oscar and Uzal wero twins. The family has been prominent in tho politics of this county. Peter Ent was a county commissioner, and member of As. sembly In the session of 1850-7. Genoral Ent was candidato for surveyor General on the Democratlo Stato ticket In 1803, and In 1809 ho was elected 1'rotho notary, Oscar W. was a director of Bloom Poor District, and Itibcrt S. was appointed to OH the vacancy on tho death of Oscar. The ex-sheriff was a genial, largo heart ed man, and had many friends. Ho was one of the leading spirits in Ent Post G. A. II. and was always ready to lend a helping hand to an old comrade. His funeral will tako placo at tho house on Fri day morning at 11 o'clock. children also. This will no doubt bo greatly appreciated by parents.

Moro rooms wcro engaged during tho month of July than over before during that month, and If tho samo rato continues through August there will not be enough rooms to accommodate all applicants. This remarkable growth Is duo to tho fact that tho public are finding out that no other school can offer such superior ad. vantages at rates so low, to young peopl o preparing for teaching, for college, or for business. The Bloomsburg Normal school prepares more young men for rolicgo than any other normal school in tho stato, and Is the only normal ichojl In tho stato that sustains a regular acadomlo and college preparatory courso and issues certificates to thoso who complcto theso courses. Students holding theso cor 1 1 flea tea aro admitted to tho colleges without examination. I.Il.V POND, Lily Pond is a sheet of water in Luzerne county.

They procured a horse and car rlago'and started over the main turnpike towards tho Decker farm. As they were driving through an isolated locality near the Jay woods they met thero on foot, Eckerson, the confederal of Miller, who stopped the horse. It seemes that Ecker son used such threatening language and showed such anger that it completely scared Decker. At this crisis Miller shouted to Decker: "My God! Wo havo been confronted by a highway robber; tako your monoy out of your pocket and put It in this box for sate. ty." At same moment Miller pushed stout zinc box under Decker's eyes.
