Wfi liaro Do sympathy whatever with that namby-pamby sickly senti merit that declare the New Orleans uprising of respectable citizens to be an outrage upon law. It was no such ' thing. The law had been outraged, and the business men set it right again. That is all. Phila. Inquirer. The stage has lost aj great man in Lawrence Barrett. A perfect actor, a talented and educated man, the stage of America owes more to Barrett and hie confrere, Booth, than to any other two men. It is a sad thing to see this capable gentleman and brilliant, fiery actor stricken down in the prime of lire, and lovers of the histrionic art will hear of his death with deep regret. The Philadelphia Timet h its the right idea in this comment on the un lawful doings at New Orleans : "There is no feeling in this country against Italians as such, but there is a very strong feeling against banded assassins of any nationality, whether they bo called Mafia, or Mollie Maguires, or Highbinders, or what not, and honest men should find better enjoyment than in demonstrations that may be fairly construed as expressions of sympathy with a class of criminals that no civ ilized county ought to tolerate." Some of our contemporaries in the interior of the State make the sugges tion that Philadelphia hopes tome day to become the capital of Penn sylvania. This is the worst kind of nonsense. The Capitol would be of no kind of use to Philadelphia, no body here cares for it, and nobody has any such notion in his mind. Harris burg is a very convenient and entirely proper place for the Capitol, and it is very unlikely that any attempt will be made to change it from that town. Certainly no such movement will be started in Philadelphia as leng as a quorum or more of both houseo come to the city for amusement every week fram Friday afternoon to Monday. rhila. Prat.

There is a class of irreconcileables at the South who will never be satis fied so long as pensions are granted to the Union soldiers, and there is scarce ly a Southern journal that does not manifest chagrin and mortification over the money paid to the men through whose sacrifices the Union cause succeeded. The Register is no better and no worse than other south ern journals, but it would have been wise to have kept out of the copies distributed iu the North to boom a Kentucky town, the bitter flings at those who were loyal in the late "un pleasantness." The invitations ex tended to the North to invest in the South ought rather to be sugar coated, because it will take a little sugar to convince many in the North that they are secure of fair treatment in the South should Providence lead their ships that v&j.JIarrUburg Telegraph. The Congressional apportionment bill, as introduced in the House at - Ilarrisburg yesterday, and which won't pass by a long shot, at least in its pres ent form, promises some splitting up of the old political conditions. Thus, Venango is divorced from Warren, but there is no prospect of more power to bor, for Venango is hitched on to Mercer, Lawrence and Butler, and stands third in the size of the last Presidential vote. Tbero is some com fort in the fact that Warren gets a bimilar dose, and as the rear end of the Erie-Crawford procession will not throw a very solid thadow. The Mo KeanWarren combination has been broken, and the former, with its little brother of Camerou, wiil have a strug gle for the leadership with four other counties Potter, Tioga, Forest and Elk. The proposed apportionment squares up the lines to some degree, but it is subject to aaieudoieut, and the situation may differ from the above when the lines are Gnally drawn. Derrick. The bill comes from a Dem ocrat and makes 20 Republicans and 10 Democratic districts, which is too much of the latter kiod by half.

Cnpt. V. V. llarr, one of the oldest members of tho Clarion county bar, writes the following statement on the fence law, upon tho request of somo of the farmers of his section. It will lio of interest to most of our readers, and so wo givo it in full : CL tniON, Pa., March 17, ISM. D. II. Parsons, Esq., Dear Sir : Yon may recollect, perhaps, that during the sitting of the Into Farmer's Institute, over which you presided, tho inquiry was mado of nio: What Is the present status of Iho present fence law in Pennsylvania? and that I then stated I could not answer, for tho reason that the case of Stewart vs. Renninger, from this court, was then pending in tho Supreme Court of tho State. I then agreed with some of those present, that when that case was determined, I would preparo a statement of tho matter for publication. The opinion of the Supreme Court was handed down in January, and the case was frequently notieod In the newspapers, but I did not get possession of a printed copy until yesterday. By the common law no fences are re quired, only such as aro needed to restrain stock from running at largo. Numerous Acts of Assembly have been passod on the subject of fences. Tho first was the Act of 1700, which required "all corn-fields and grounds kept for enclos ures to bo well fonced." Parts of this Act were repealed many yeara since, but the part requiring fences to be maintained, was in force until tho 4th day of April, 1889, when It waa repealed. The Act of 1784, passed for Northum berland and other counties, when these counties composed the large part of the rural portion of the State prescribed, more particularly tho. kind of fence required, and provided for tho appointment of view ers. As tho territory comprising Clarion county was in Northumberland couuty from 1785 to 1805, when it becamo part ol Iycoming county, and this law was prob ably in force here, but tho Supreme Court has set this matter to rest, by holding, In tho case of Stewart vs. Benningcr, that tho Act of 1802 repealed the Act of 17S4, by Us title, without mentioning the county , of Northumberland. There Is, therefore, no law in this Stato requiring fences except the common law, which requires every farmer to make such enclosures as will secure his own domes tic animals. The law of division fences is the same as heretofore each adjoining owner of improved land when they desire to use it, are required to keep up half the division fence. The Act of 1705, relating to hogs, is still In force, and It is unlawful to permit them to run at large without lings and yokes, and when so permitted, they may be killed or impounded, and one-half thoir value forfeited. There seoms to bo no law prohibiting horses, cattle and sheep from running at large, while, it may bo a trespass for cattle to rove and pasture on unenclosed wood land, yet it has been held that no nntinii can be maintained tor tho reason that the uamages are unappreciable. I boliove. sinco tho reneal of all tha other fence laws, that tho common law is In full force, and that each farmer must sex-u re bis own stock, or be subject to pay mi umiuics uiey may ao to tneir neigh bor's field. This is a short summary of the fonce law as it stands to-day, and as this is a matter of interest to the farmer generally, particularly at this time of year, I have token the liberty of sending this to the newspapers before sending it to you.
