Tho four years drouth which has caused ho much destitution and suf fering among tho people in tho stato of Durango and Coahuilu, Mexico, has been broken by copious rains for tho last two months. Tho Xazos river which Hows through the Laguna cotton district, is overflow ing its banks, and tho work of irri gating tho laud is now in progress for tho first time tunce tho drouth begau. Fine crops of corn, beams and cotton will bo grown this sea son. Representative Tool was in town Monday and tho Post man approach- con.'. wr-cx li.o it vrw, rtinuu hun. ho was Bovercly criticised for tho ac tion he had taken in the matter. He explained that ho had been appealed to from every side to allow tho peo ple an opportunity to express their opinion iu tho matter, and ho con cluded that it was but just and right to do bo and had thereupon adver tised tho proposed bill to give them a chance to voice their senti ments by petition. AVlieu a President is inaugurated at Washington ho is usually sworn in with a large, new Bible, w hich is afterward presented to somo mem ber of his family. But Mr. Cleve land in took tho oath ou hi mother's bible. It was a small book, morocco bound and gilt-edged. So far as known ho still has the book, and in the belief that it will bo used at tho coming ceremony, the' clerk of tho supremo court has not pur chased a Bible to bo used on that oc casion. A prominent horse journal recom mends tho following remedy for lico on colts : At this season of tho year many of tho colts become lousy, and for such os do the follow ing is uaid to bo found excellent: Take two pounds of quassia bark, btoep it in water, aud wash tho colt thoroughly from tho tip of his nose to tho roots of his tail. If one ap plication does not kill tho lico, re peat. Not only will this kill all tho lice, but it acts as a stimulant to the colt. Thero is said to be no danger from tho colt taking cold from this troatmout, even in very cold weath er. Centre county farms aro not Bell ing at encouraging figures by hny means in fact it is almost impos sible to sell real estate Farming beiug bo unromuuorutivu iu tho past decade, accounts for this. The agriculturist is a double suffer or iu this, viz : ho does not get a paying price for his wheat, and his acres have lost CO per cont. in vuluo if he wants to sell. Tho double blow is what knocks farming and gives our farmers tho blues. His farm that he paid $100 per acre for, ho now gots $10, at bost $50. Wheat that commonly brought him $1 to $1.15 only brings 70 to 83 on an average. There is no othor pursuit that pre sents so discouraging an outlook as farming, it is by far the most de pressed of all interests. Centre Hall Xlejtorttr. Written fur thPor. r' Progressing Backward, jj Snydor county has for tho last few years made advancos in intellectual progress hardly equalled by any. county in the State. This may not have been noticed bo much by us at home as it is commented upon by persons residing in othor counties, j who are pleased to recognize the truth and aro willing to give us cred it for what wo aro doing. This U probably more noticable to out siders because they alleged wo had farther to go to roach a general average than somo of our neighboring counties, Wo are getting thero all tho same i unless our progress is checked by unforseen difficulties. One of these difficulties wo aro now called upon to face. It is nothing less than ad-, verse legislation in tho way of re storing 17th century laws through tho influence of politicians to fulfill pledges made during their cauvaRs. I refer to tho "horso high, bull strong and pig-tight" fences we are to have by special act of Assembly. The general law for the State, pre sented by Senator Meek of thti. Centre-Clearfield district hns fallen, as it should, and now Snydor county is to bo returned to tho Midieval ages by stocking tho high-ways with horses, cows, mules, pign, etc. The worst of it is, t he people are mislead by tho title of the bill. Wo are all iu favor of raising horses, mules, etc., on tho farms, but we nre not iu favor of raising them on the highways. Tho question is i not "Will we havo fences !" That is up derstaud. No farmer would thi'.i of leaving his land opon. The quos lion is, "Aro our fences good the highway to the nnnoyauce of the farmers and the destruction of their property." Tho State has a law allowing every farmer one dollar for every four shade trees ho plants ou tho highway fronting his farm. A number of these trees havo beeu set out. Wero they Bet out for the benefit of the cattlo that Khali now bo turned loose on them like the locusts in Egypt to tear them down limb by limb, and leave tho naked poles stand along tho highway as evidence of the disastrous results brought about by tho fullillmeut of political pledges f Is there one man iu a hundred who has "get up and got'' enough about him to keep his shirt clean, that wants the corpor ation cows to line the highways mid not only turn desolate the public do main but with their girutlo necks and fence-rail tongues tear every thing to pieces that the progressive farmer Hets near his fence for uso or beauty ? "Tho poor man's cow must havo pasture !" Bosh ! Wo are all poor, and if high fences aro piled ou high taxes wo farmers will profit by do nating our laud to charity, move to town and live on tho profit of tho blue milk from tho corporation cow. I do not protest against fences. Wo must havo them to retain our own stock, but I do protest against building fences to protect our high- priced aud low profit land against the devastations of every Tom, Dick and Harry's cow which stops at nothing short of a Great Chiuoso Waif. A Landli'miei!. Cholerine in Pennsylvania. , The Fence Question. PoMluS Pout. I am inclined to think that Rep resentative Tool wants to protect his neighbors as he is in favor of a good substantial fouco; for should a storm come and throw his barn-yard gate opn,aml his cattlo wonder out on unfeneed territory ho would bo subject tcf damages nnd his neigh bor to groat annoyance. Now. as a farmer, I think such n bill would bo a benefit to tho rich and tho poor, the high and tho low, to tho land owner, tho tenant and to tho poor laborer. Plenty of nasturo on the banks of our fresh water streams. Shall that go to wasto before the eyes of the day laborer who will bo forbidden to pasturo his cow which furnished the nutritious milk to food his "hungry babies ? Tho rich own the laud. Shall they also con trol tho commons. Will they not next claim a mortgage ou tho air we broathet , Tho Bible enjoins us to "have peace with all men," and Jiero is no peace with the man who refuses to build a fence while his neighbors are provided with tho necessary cat tlo barriers. No fence no freedom, no credit or honor; and let mo as sure tho readers of the Post that 1 as atenant have had bitter experi ence in this respect. No fences ? Wpuld you want to hire a whole townHhip to help drive your stock ffOtu puo farm to another if you aro uuorfcinato enough to have to move? Thbill cannot bo frainod ho as to suit all. It don't suit mo exactly as 41 foot is too high.
