All sorts of bills find their way in
to tho Legislature as, for instance.
one was introduced by Representa
tive Swartz, of Perry, to protect
farmers aud others against damages
by domestic fowls. It provides that
if any one owning or in possesion of
laud "shall find any turkeys, chick
ens, ducks, geese or other domestic
fowls in his, her or their lands, it
Khali be lawful for such person to
shoot and kill tho same." The dead
fowls must bo thrown outside the
fence and if they are not removed
by the owner within twenty-four
hours, then the person who killed
them is required to remove the doad
fowl.
Com. vs. Henry Walburn. Defen
dant was charged with assault upou
an idiotic boy placed in his keeping
by the overseers of tho poor. It
was clearly shown that he had in
humanly Hogged his charge and
maltreated hiin with the hard heart
ednoss of a monster, but no one
was surprised when the intelligent
jury of twelve men brought in a
verdict putting the costs upon tho
imbecile boy. When Patrick Henry
Baid that God Almighty could fore
tell everything but tho verdict of a

ever uttered. In this case the Court
