th'.isly in his sick chair :
"Vol! have often heard how nice
it liillsl be to be just sick enough to

tics of nature and ui t, listen to the
twittering of the birds, the bii.mg

other things "inn tedious to men
tion.'' Theoretically, all this is very
nice, if not somewhat enchanting:
but when it comesdoun to personal,

we prefer robust halt!), with the

(Sovernor Heaver has signed the
Hawkers' ami Peddlers' bill intro
duced by Senator Alexander und
passed through the House by the
aid of our lleproscntat ive and other
friends of the measure. It abso
lutely prohibits the hawking or pod
dling of foreign or domestic goods
without a license, except that man
ufacturers may sell articles of their
own manufacture without such li
cense. License to hawk und ped
dle can now be only obtained
through the courts on u certificate
from two physicians that the appli

The repeal of the fence law of 170(1
briefly leaves the situation thus:
1. There is no law for cattle run
ning at large, whether fences are
good, bad, or no fence tit all.
2. 1 amages can be recovered now
caused by cattle or horses trespass
ing on the lands of ot hem's.
3. ' The general law only has been
repealed; any county that has a spe
cial fence law, ton h law is not re
pealed - no special act being repeal
ed, but still in force.
i. Under the repeal, therefore, of
the act of 1700, horses, cattle, or tiny
live stock at large in Snyder county,
will make the owner liable for dama
ges done by Hitme, fences or no fen
ces. This is about as concise as we can
make it, und will do to paste in your
hut for refronce.

she was born Ml h of April, 177'., or
