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

Laguna cotton district, is overflow
ing its banks, and tho work of irri

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

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

Rheumatism Quickly Cured.
Threo days is a very short timo in
which to cure a bad case of rheuma
tism ; but it can be done, if the
proper treatment is adopted, as will
be hcoii by the following from James
Lambert, of New Brunswick. 111.;
"I was badly alllicte.l with rheuma
tism in the hips ami leg, when I
bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. It cued me in three
days. 1 urn all right to-day ; and
would insist on every iio who is
atctcd with that terrible disease
to use Chambei Iain's Pain Balm
and get well at once." .". I cent bot
