that existed on paper only, and com
pel the farmers to make it up by
excessive taxation. That's tho
"what."
Tho Pennsylvania Legislature

The Elite Orchestra gave enter
tainments iu the Court House on
Monday and Wednesday evenings
of this week. 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.

A poor, little, half-starved rabbit
came around the corner of the Cen
tral hotel on Tuesday noon on a
dead run, pursued by u lot of boys
who were trying to kill it with clods
of ice. The writer stepped between
Mr. Cotton-tail und tho boys and
begged them to desist, and he was
permitted to leusurely pursue his
way down tli.-street to a safe hid
ing. Let those who have mercy ex
ercise it now on the poor, h n inl 'ss
creatures to whom life is also dear,
and which now, after an almost
providential escape from gun and
dog, must live upon what they find
above tin; dee)), cold snow.
J. Ward Diehl, editor of the Wat
sontown lilmlf, was married Now
Year day to Miss Sadie C. Orwig,
daughter of ltev. S. P. Orwig. pas
tor of the Lutheran church at Mont
gomery Station. Siinliury Itiiili.
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."

Tho Fence Law Again.
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.
