| of March, 1784, another fence law was
enacted, requiring fences to be built 4)
feet high, the under rail to be not over 5
inches from the surface of the ground.
This act makes it obligatory for every
land owner to maintain his fences so as
to guard his property against the inva

Depreciation,
We bardly think that the assessment
of real estate in this county, just now
completed, will show a depreciation in
real estate, when the figures are given
out, for the reason that we had our de-
preciation in land values several years
ago. Not so, however in Lancaster
| county where the statement of the tri.
| enpial assessment for 1880 shows a des
reciation in real estate of $10,000,000,
Khe total valuation of reality is now $52,.
208,629, the city having one-sixth of that
amount. This is greater by 25 per cent
| than any other county in the state ex-
| cepting Allegheny. The land value ex-
| ceeds in valuation 23 counties, and the
| value of Manor township alone is as
great as that of 15 of the small counties.
The value of horses returned is $11,781,
750, and cattle $637 062. The money at
interest is $26,026,959,

Dog Tax.
Governor Beaver has signed the bill
levying a general tax upon d in the
Commonwealth, “and the little and
all, willnow have to be returned by the
Assessor along with the personal props
erty of their owners to be taxed. The
rate of tax fixed by the law is 50 cents
and one dollar according to the sex of
the dog, and the fund ar ing from the
taxation is to go inthefirst instance to
paying for all sheep which have been
destroyed by dogs in the district; and
where no casualties of the kind have oc.
gined then the tax is to go to the school
fund,
The principal feature of this new law
is that it provides some real congenial
work for the school boards of the various
districts. They are to hold as it were a
sort of a poms mortem examination over
the dead body of every sheep that is pro-
duced in their bailiwick, and if itis
fcund, after matare deliberation, thst
the sheep has been the victim of some
voracious dog, they are to forthwith
make an appropriation in favor of the
owner of the dead sheep for the value
of the same. Of course, the school dis
rectors will be delighted with these new
fanctions,
