Well, it is altogether prob able that tho Pennsylvania Legislature-of 181)1 will not make him an other present of $'MH) for an oflice that existed on paper only, and com pel the farmers to make it up by excessive taxation. That's tho "what." Tho Pennsylvania Legislature which met on Monday, promptly elected Hon. 0. (J.

They wore extraordi nary musical treats, and illustrated to what extent musical instruments cm be con! rolled when in the hands of skillful performers. Their music was of such a high order that it required a cult ured ear to appre ciate it, and those who failed to hour them missed mi opportunity of a life time. J. 1'. Kcarns, of Rcavortown, dropped in on us on Monday and 'old us in one continuous story that ..-l.ad tlu MiiitlJrrit horse iu Penn sylvania, that it was 'JJ years old and weighed only I Nil) pounds; that Nor Fees had li three legged call and that George Dreese hud caught a 'possum. After delivering himself of this bit of intelligence he hurried out to banter the first man he met to trade anything from a tooth -pick to a steam engine.

That Diehl is a "deil" of a fellow, and is a good deal harder to catch than some fellows we've had to deal with ; but had we known that ho was impetuous enough to go and commit matrimony these hard times we should have endeavored to divert him by vividly depicting the horrors of double-team journalism. We congratulate you however, Rro. Diehl, upon your choice of a life partner, and hope you will alwuys give her "position" in your heart on "first page, head of column, und noxt to reading-mutter."

I Here is something new and of in terest to farmers of Snyder. I'uion and N'oi thuniherl.-ind counties. Most everybody has an idea that the fence law of March J7, 171, is si ill in force, but that is m t the case. It was re ponied by the Act of April 11. Is.ij the latter Ai t in its s nd section provides as follows : "That an .i-t n gulat ing fences in the Counties of Allegheny, Wash ington, Fayette ami Westmoreland, approved the J7th day of March. 178l,be ,l..dtlle same i- hi lebv le pealed." Xow while this repealing section does not quote the tlth' of the Act of March 127. 1781, correctly, because it leaves out o I humberlainl conn it.v, yet, inasmuch as the Act is dis tinctly specified by its exact date, this omission will not in any way effect its cpeal, and it is repeal ed effect .tally and pci f. ctl.v, ju-t as if the title had been quoted correct l.v. The repeal of the Act of March J7. 171, threw Northumberland (then including Snydei i back under the Acts of I7u0and !2 : both these ha ing since I.e. II repealed, it Would follow that Snyder) county hi n law governing oir.n'.c fences any in uethu.i the balance of the Slalo. There is no doubt in the matter, and any lawyer who will take time to hunt up the matter w ill lind that the law of I7t is repealed, undjwe have no fence law iu Snyder count y. The writer has also had the as-uiauce f the best legal adiice from the State authorities that such was the ca-e. The only quibble that can possibly be made is .bout the title, but the Act is clearly ami uninistasably l. -cated and described iu the repealing section. Xo doubt the lawyer who understands his bu-ine-sj knows all about it, but it is important that every one who has cattle should know it and be governed accordingly. A legal 1 1 'ic nd of the writer iu a con versation quoted this old law, but I am sure now that he was mistaken, and if tin- meets his eye I hope he will infoi in hiiu-elf belter in the fu ture. S.
