FARM LAW.
Br EDMUND r. nsNrErr.

QLILCI'S may acquire a right of way over
your farm in either one of three modes : lst,
By purchase or grant from you; 2d. By long
continued use or prescription ; 3d, By actual
necessity. As to the first method, to gainn
permanent right by purchase or grant, It
must have been by a regular and complete
deed, executed in the same way as a deed of
the land itself. If the bargain was only oral,
or if it was even in some simple written pa-
per, but not in a formal deed under seal, it
would, even tb lugh paid for, be in law
revocable,——a mere license as it is called—and
might be terminated, at the mere wish of the
land owner, by a notice to the other party to
use it no longer. Being a kind of interest
in land, the strict law requires it to be con—
veyed by a' deed (2 Gray, 302; 2 Allen, 578).
2d, The second mode, by prescription, re—
quires length of time,—twenty years at least;
and the way must have been used continu-
ously, peaceably, and under a claim of right
to do so, and not by your permission or con-
sent. If it was only very rarely used, but
against your protest, or if used by yopr tacit
consent, the use would not ripen into a legal
right, however long continued (8 Gray, 441 ;
11 Gray, 148). Ant], if used under all those
conditions, it must have been in some regular
and uniform place. No man can gain a right
by such means to wander over your farm
just where he has a mind to or where his
convenience suits him. That would be an
intolerable burden to the farmer (5 Pick.485).
To gain this right by twenty years’ use, it
is not necessary that any one owner should
have travelled it twenty years. If successive
owners have unitedly used it for that period.
it would be sufficient, so far as length of time
is concerned (2 Allen, 277). And if this
prescriptive right of Way was- gained only by
using it for some particular purpose, as for
carting wood from a wood lot beyond, that
would not authorize the person to continue
to use it for all purposes, after the wood had
been all cut off, and it had been covered over
with buildings (11 Gray, 150; 15 Gray, 387).
3d, The third mode, by necessity, arises
when you sell a man a back lot, with no
means for him to get to any highway except
over your remaining land. The law gives
him a right to cross your land to and fro;
otherwise his land would be useless. At pres-
ent he can’t reach it by balloon to any practio
cable purpOse, and therefore he must cross
your land. So, if you sell a man all your
front land, retaining the back part, and have
no way out except over the part sold, you
retain a right to cross the lot sold, though
your deed is such cases says nothing about
it ; and this is so, even if in your deed you
warrant the land to befree and clear-from all
inczmzbrames (4 Gray, 297). It is a familiar
maxim that “necessity knows no law.”
But this right of way by necessity con-
tinues only so long as the necessity itself
continues; and if a highway is afterwards
laid out touching the back land on the other
side, or if the owner afterwards buys a lot
adjoining it and between it and a highway,
he can no longer cross over-your land as
before, but must go out the other way (14
Gray, 126). And, so long as he does have
such a right, he must go in such place as yOu
designate, if it be a reasonable place. If you
mark out a road or a way along the fence, or
on the peorer ground, he should confine
himself to that (2 Pick. 473). And, if the
way becomes niiry or out of repair, he must
keep it in good condition if he wants to use
it. Your duty is done when you allow him
to cross; you are not obliged to smooth his
pathway for him, and rake out the sticks and
stone (12 Mass. 69). But if you actually
obstruct his usual road, or if it becomes
suddenly impassable by natural causes, he
would have a right to deviate to one side
until he has opportunity to remove the ob-
structions (2 Allen, 546).
All such rights of way are apt to be nui-
sances to the farmer, and not unfrcquently
lead to litigation. _
It is important to know, that, in whatever
mode a right‘of way is acquired ’over your
land, you have ordinarily a right in the
absence of any stipulation to the contrary,~to
erect suitable gates or bars to the entrances
thereto from the highway; and if the’ other
party leave them open, and cattle got in, or
yours get out, he is liable to you for the dam-
age which ensues (9 B. Mom. 21 ; 22 Iowa,
161; 44 N. H. 53 ;\45 Md. 357).
IMPOUNDING CATTLE.
Closely connected with the subject of ten-
ces is that of impounding animals. If you
find your neighbor’s cattle in your cornfield,
there are three courses you may pursue: lst,
You may put the animals in the town pound;
2nd, You may sue ’the owner for damages;
or, 3d, You may quietly turn them into the
highway and say nothing. Of these three
the last is the easiest to be done, and the
hardest to make up one’s mind to do. We
are directed in the good book to forgive our
neighbor his trespasses; but it says nothing
about forgiving his cattle their tresp‘asscs. If
a man ever allows himself to violate the
third commandment, he is tempted to use
that outlet for his indignation when he jumps
up from the dinner table on a hot day in July
to drive his neighbor’s breach y cattle for the
seventh time out of his garden or corn field.
It might, perhaps, alleviate his sufferings to
know, that, if they then stray away and are
lost, it is not his fault, and the owner has no
claim on him (18 Pick. 227; 6 N. H. 213; 10
Vt. 71 ; 32 Penn St. 58, 65); and he may
even mildly hasten,l their departing steps by”
the aid of a good sized dog (23 Vt. 236; 9
Mich. 158; 18 Vt. 425); and if the dog, in'
the excitement, takes a bit out of the nose or
car of the trespassing cattle, its owner is not
bound to supply another.
FARMER‘S LIABILITY FOR HIS ANIMALS.
Passing from the subject of cattle straying
away, and doing damage on other people‘s
grounds, we have next to consider how far
the farmer is liable for their good behavior
in the public streets,or even on his own
premises. It is cleanenoug tif a vicious
horse by the city sidewalk _ denly nipsa
piece out of your coat sleeve as you are pass-
ing by, and his Owner knew his habits, he is
bound to pay the tailor’s bill; whereas if he
only frightens you, and makes you jump, you
have no redress, for that is what the law
calls domnum absgiae injuria. That is an
innocent expression in itself; but, if you
give an excited utterance to it, a bystander
might think you were indulging in forbidden
language.
It may not be generally understood that if
aman turns his animals loose in the public
highway, and they there injure the per-
son or property :of another lawfully using
the way, the owner is responsible for all
damages they may do, whether he knew they
had any dangerous disposition or not (4
Allen, 444; 39; N. Y. 400).. 110 had no
right to let his cattle run loose iuthe public
I highway. In one instance a, man let his
horse go out to feed in a public place where
some very young children’were playing, and
Shine of them began to switch him, where-.-
upon he turned and kicked one of them so
he died, and the owner was convicted of
but only to his domestic ,animals.
manslaughter (10 Cox, 102). - Had he known
the animal was dangerous, it might have
even been more serious with him, since, in
the Mosaic law, it was declared that if the
‘ owner of an ox knew that it pushed with its
horn, and did not keep it in, and it killed a
man or woman, not only the ox, but also the
owner, was put to death (Exod. xxi. 29).
And now as to his liability for animals on
his own premises. Every owner of 3 dan-
gerous, or vicious animal known to be such,
is lihbie for all injury he may do to another,
even though the latter is at the time trespass-
ing on the form'er’s premises (27 Conn. 404;
124 Mass. 49; 3 E. D. Smith, 574). If,
therefore, a man,while hunting through your
woods on Sunday is attacked and bitten by
your savage dog,you must pay for the pound
‘ of flesh, although you did not set him on (17.
Wood. 497). You should have posted up an
advertisement from St. PERL—BEWARE on
Does. And in like manner, if a boy, while
robbing an orchard, is tossed by a vicious
bull into the boughs of the apple tree over-
head, the owner is as much liable in law to
ps.for the boy’s torn trousers as if he had
received the same salutation when boldly
coming up the path in broad daylight to call
0 the farmer’s youngest daughter. Inone
by strolling fishermen, put a savage bull into
the lot along the stream. On his neighbors
remonstrating with him that he ought to give
them notice what kind of animal it was, he
remarked,“the fellow would give them not-ice
enough himself ;" but, as his notice was
rather too brief, the farmer had to pay five
hundred dollars for two broken ribs (3 C. 85
P. 138). But this extreme and severe liabili-
ty absolutely depends upon the fact whether
the owner of the beast had any previous
knowledge of the brutc‘s warlike disposition.
If so, the mfe keeping of such an animal
unconfined is itself, in law, deemed culpable
negligence. If he did not know the fact,
some other form of negligence is essential in
order to make an owner of an animal. liable
for his conduct while on the owner’s promi-
ses, or while lawfully in the highway under
the care of a keeper. For this reason. if a
man’s horse runs away in the street, and in—
jures some one, or breaks a carriage, the
owner is not liable, unless he carelessly left
him unbitched, or was guilty of some other
negligence (3 Allen, 565; 24 La. Ann. 390).
The not uncommon opinion to the contrary is
quite erroneous.
DOGS.
The question of liability for and protec-
tion against dogs has been a perplexing one
from earliest times. The laws of Solon—
undoubtedly the wisest law-giver of his age
——declared, that, if any dog bit a person, he
should be delivered up, and bound to a log
of wood four cubits long; and the Romans
also adopted the same law in their “Twelve
Tables ;" while an early law in Wales provi-
ded, that, after a dog had bitten three per-
sons, he should be first tied to his master’s
leg, and then killed.
Owing to the naturally wild and fierce dis-
position of dogs, it has not been thought
necessary by legislators, in order to make
the owner liable, to prove that he actually
knew the dog was accustomed to bite, as it
is in the case of other domestic animals,
The law presumes that the son of every Pu-
ritan farmer in Massachusetts has been
brought up from boyhood to repeat those
lines of good old Dr. Watts:—
‘ “Let dogs’delight to bark and bite,
For ’tis their nature to.”
Accordingly the owner is liable,if they do,
whether his education on this point is nog—
le'cted or not (3 Allen, 191). And not only
so, he must with us pay double damages for
the pleasure of keeping such animals; and,
after actual notice of his disposition, the
damages may be increased threefold. And
so comprehensive is this law, that if your
dog rushes out into the street, and playfully
jumps at 9. horses head, whereby he is fright-
ened and ,runs away, breaking the carriage
and perhaps the limbs of the occupants, you
are responsible for double the amount of e
entire damage, though it amount to sev
thousand dollars; for the liability of the
owner is not limited to damages from the bite
of a dog, but extends to any direct injury,
however caused (1 Allen, 191). Again: if
your dog is at large, alt ugh he is a good
natured Newfoundland, and, being teased
a'd irritated by young children at play,tnrns
upon them, and bites one severely, you may
be liable to heavy damngcsfilthough the dog
was never known to bite before (4 Allen,
431) ; and this is so, although the dog is duly
licensed and collared. The object of the dog
tax was not to exempt the dog owner, when
known, from his former liability for all his
dog's mischief, but to provide a fund for the
remuneration of the farmer, when the owner
was not known or was not pecuniarily respon-
sible. Accordingly any man whose animals
are injured by a dog may now have either
mode of redress—he may file his claim with
the Selectmen, and take simply the amount
of damages he may have sustained; or he
may go for the owner of the dog, and get
double damages, if he can; but he cannot
try both methods. If he is paid his simple
damage out of the dog tax, the county may
compel the owner of the guilty dog to refund
the amount paid out. If he is injured in his
own person, his only remedy for remunera-
tion is against the owner of the dog. The
“dog-law" does not include injuries to man,
Perhaps
it should be extended in this respect.
But no man is obliged to wait until the
mischief is done, and then seek redress by
the law’s delay. You may take_the law into
your own hands, and kill any dog, licensed
or not, that suddenly assaults you while
peaceably walking or riding in the public
streets; and so you may if the dog is
found out of the enclosure or care of the
owner, wounding, worrying or killing any
neat-cattle, sheep or lambs.
If a dog is not licensed, your right to kill
him is much broader. The law says you
may kill him “whenever or wherever found.”
These are its exact words. But if you think
this authorizes you to kill him on his owner’s
premises, and you should pursue him into his
owner’s house and there kill him, contrary
to his master’s wishes, you might find out
your mistake by being compelled to pay, not
only the full value of the dog, but also for
unlawfully entering the owner's premises (11
Allen, 151 ; 109 Mass. 276). “Whenever
and wherever found,” therefore, don’t mean
exactly what it says. Such are the quirks of
the law. Some people call it a sort of “bonus—
pocus science;" though I don't.
Again: do not think, that because you can
openly and publicly shoot an unlicensed dog
which is hanging around your premises ani
noying your family, you can therefore poison
hint; for that kind of physio is not to be
thrown even to the dogs, and the mere ex-
posing of any poison for that purpose,
whether the dog touches it or not, may cost
you fifty dollars and the costs of prosecution.
And this is very moderate, considering, that,
for the malicious poisoning of some other
domestic animals,—evcn a sucking calf, —you
may obtain a free residence in that splendid
new State building at Concord for five years,
—that is, unless you see fit to break out be-
fore that time! Thus much for the law of
dogs. And the only crumb of consolation I
can offer on this subject is this : if two dogs,
yours and your neighbor‘s, go off on a joint
raid on a flock of sheep, you are bound to
pay only for those your dog killed, and not
the others, if anybody can find out which
was which (20 Pick. 477; 20 Barb. 479);
whereas, if the two owners of the dogs go
out together to rob a melon patch, one is
liable for all the melons carried away, al-
though the other ate them all (10 Wend. 654;
1 Stark. 352) ; so that in one respect the law
seems to favor the dogs. On the other hand,
as a man is not liable for any sheep,.fowls,or
other things which his mischievous boys
wantonly kill when coming home from an
unsuccessful hunt, in this respect again the
law is rather against the dogs.
'Asour FIRES.
If a careless hunter fires your woods, and,
much to his consternation, the flames spread
to your fields, and run along the fences to
your barn, he is responsible for the whole
instance a farmer, who was much annoyed
loss, although he did his best to stay its pro-I
gress. A man who wrongfully sets in opera-
tion a dangerous instrument must take all
the consequences directly caused thereby (21
Pick. 378; 43 Cal. 437; 2 Harr. 443); and
this would be so, whether the fire ran along
the ground continually,or whether the sparks
were blown through the air. a considerable
distance, and then set fire to_ . some person's
property (107 Mass. 494).} ; 1* ‘
But as any farmer has a legal right to burn
the brush, old stumps, &c.,-‘ on his oWn land,
if he does so at proper times 'and in a proper
manner, he is not repohsible, if, by avsudden
rise of wind or other cause, without negli-
gence on his part, the fire is accidentally
communicated toa neighbor's premises and
causes him serious'inju‘ry.. ’The gist of [his ,
liability in such ‘cases is some carelessness,
either in the time of setting the fire, or the
manner of doing so,or in not watching it after-
wards; and the man who suffers is bound to
make it clear that the other was to blame
(54 Me. 259; 22 Barb. 619; 44 Barb. 424;,
18 Me. 32 ; 11 Met. 460). But even your
negligence will not always render you liable
for the spread of a fire, unless it was origi-
nally kindled by you intentionally. There-
f0rc, if your barn takes fire through your -
'carelcssness with the lantern, or that of your
man with his pipe, and therebyyour neigh:
bor’s property is also' consumed, you are not
bound to pay for it ; the law " seems to con-
sider that you have suffered enough for your
conduct in the loss of your own property (1
Bl. Corn. 431; 37 Barb. 15; 35 N. Y. 210;
62 Penn. St. 533). ' '
Still less would you be responsible if the.
fire originated from causes beyond yourcon—
trol. If your barn is struck by lightning,or .
your haystack ignites from spontaneous com-
bustion, wrthout any fault on your part, and
the flames spread to the adjoining owner's
property, it would be hard indeed if you had
not only to lose your own, but to pay fer his
lab (8 Johns. 422, 11 Q. B. 347). AndI
suppose, even if you were careless in not
promptly and energetically putting it out
when you could have done so, and it spreads
beyond your control, this would not render
you liabic,as perhaps it might have done had
you purposely set fire to your brush heap or
stubble.
'As to the railroad fires the law is somewhat
different from that relating to individuals.
Formerly, and antecedently to any statutes,
railroad companies were not liable for fires
caused by their locomotives, without proof
of some negligence,either in the construction
or mode of running the engine by which 'the
fire was caused,or otherwise. (5H. db N. 674;
18 Barb. 80; 30 Iowa, 420; .15 Conn. 124;
37 Me. 93); but as the liability to such fires
was so great, and the amount of damage so
caused was very extensive. it became neces-
sary to enlarge their liability; and now in
this State, by Gen. Stat, chap.- 63 § 101, rail-
road corporations are liable for all damages to
the buildings or personal property of land—
owners along their route, arising from fire
communicated by their locomotives, and
without any proof of negligence or careless-
ness, either in the company or any of its
employees.
And this statute has a very liberal con-
struction, extending not: only to buildings
immediately adjoining the railroad.and which
are fired directly by sparks from the locomo-
tives, but also to buildings at a long distance
from the road, and which are set on fire by
sparks flying through the air from some
building near by, which had first - taken fire
from the engines (13 Met. 99; 98 Mass. 414;
103 Mass. 586).
As a protection to themselves, however,
railroad companies are authorized to get the
property along the route insured for their
benefit; so that, if obliged to pay, they may
remunerate themselves,'and thus the burden
is more equally divided. Difierent States
may have different statutes upon this subject.
OVERHANGIXG TREES.
' The question often arises who owns the
fruit of a free standing near the boundary
line between two proprietors. It is generally
supposed that the fruit on the limbs over-
hanging onc‘s laud belongs to him ; but this
is an entire mistake. If a' tree stands wholly
on your land, although some of the roots ex-
tend into the soil of your neighbor and derive
support and nourishment from-his soil, he
has no right to any of the fruit which hangs
over the line (11 Conn. 177; 38 Vt. 105: 25
N. Y. 126); and, if he attempts by force to
prevent you fronr picking it, he is liable for
an assault and battery (46 Barb. 337; 43 N.
Y. 201).
In one instance a lady, while standing on
the fence picking cherries which hung over
the line, was forbidden to do so by the ad-
joining owner, who was at work in his gar—
den ; and in the scuffle to prevent her, she
received some bruises on her arm, for which
he had the pleasure of paying the neat little
sum of a thousand dollars. If your fruit
falls into your neighbor‘s lot, you have, I
think, an implied license in law to go and
pick it up, doing him no unavoidable damage
(113 Mass. 376; 12 Vt. 373).
If, however, a fruit tree, stands directly in
the division line, and what is called a “tree
line," both parties own the tree and fruit in
common, and n her can cut down the tree.
or seriously injure it, without-being respon-
sible to the other (12 N. II. 454; 2-1 Barb.
547; 25 N. Y. 123). '
Sometimes persons are tempted to poison
or secretly kill a neighbor’s tree of some kind
which stands near the fence, and casts a bane-
ful shade on their garden plot : but this is
dangerous business; and the party doing sb
may possibly find himself inside the county
jail'for a twelvemonfh, where the rooms are
apt to be small, and not always very clean!
The safer way is such cases is to cut off the
limbs which hang over your side,or dig down
and out off the roots, which undoubtedly
you have a legal right to do; but it would
not be safe to use the limbs for firewood, or
otherwise convert thengto your own use, lest
you have to pay their value, more or less.
Chinese Odd Fellows.
The funeral ofp deceased rich Chinaman
took 'place in Sacramento recently, which at-
tracted attention on account of its length
and the novelty attached thereto. The
casket in which the body was placed
was mounted with silver ' handles and
trimmings, and on the top a plate
with the name of' the deceased engrav-
ed upon it, also the emblems of the Order of
Odd Fellows, which plate was selected by a
Cinnamon from the undertaker’s stock of
plates used by the different societies on the
cmtinsof deceased members. In selecting
the plate the Chinaman said the deceased
Celestial had belonged to_a society who used
the same emblems. On each side of the hearse
three pail—bearers walked, wearing the cus—
tomary sash, and all the Chinese in attendance
Wore red and white strips of ribbon attached
to their blouses. At the grave the ceremo—
nies were quite lengthy;'and during the per- '
formance music was played on a Chinese
rectl instrument.‘ At their conclusion, each
of the Chinamen in attendance deposited the
ribbon he had worn by the side of the grave
and then moved off. The Chinese have evi-
dently adopted this style of burial for their
rich men in this city, as a somewhat similar
burial of one of their number took place a
short time before, when it was claimed that
the deceased belonged to the Chinese Masons.

Miraculous Cure.
“I WANT EVERYBODY IN run WORLD T0
. KNOW IT.” ’
0.1x BLUFFS, Martha’s Vineyard, Sept»), 1877'.
It. is with a happy heart I write these few lines
to you, and I want everybody in the whole world
to know what your great SULPHUR BITTERS
have done for me. Fifteen years ago ' I caught a
violent cold ridingin a rain storm. The next. day
I was sick shed with the Typhoul fever,and upon
recovery from that,_two large ulcers broke out,
one on each leg, which kept continually discharg-
ing. 1 have been attended by the best doctors in
the country, and at the Bellevne hospital the doc-
tors wishcd to take one leg 011'. Nothing that 1
took helped me, and. 1 made up my mind to die,
and did not care it 1 (1111.10! 0. more miserable be-
ing than I could not be. My face was covered.
with blotohcs and scales. and my body with erup-
tions. 1 have been wheeled around for the past
six year and spent thousands of dollars. Last
spring Dr. Spencer advised me to go to the sea--
shore, and perhaps the change would do me good
but to no purpose, as I rapidly grew worse. an
my wife and friends gave me up. On the first of
July Mr. Moorevlsited me and brought me a bot-
tlc of your SULPHUR BITTERS for me to take;
I told him I would not, I had no faith in anything.
He was so pcrsrsteut In his demands and my wife
also untreated .me.to my it. which I did, and to
my unbounded joy I.“ a few days I began to feel
better, my appetite improved, and food began to
look good tome. My bowels began to get regu-
lar, a thing I had not known for 15 years. The
eruptions left my body, those disquieting ulcers
on my legs began to cease discharging and grow
smaller every day, and now, thanks to n merciful
God, I am well. 1 can now walk three miles with-
out fatigue, and l have gained in weight twenty-
two pounds. My skin ls smooth. I have taken
eight bottles, and one ulcer is perfectly cured and
the other is rapidly closxng up, and is now no
larger than a pen. May God’s blessing rest on
you and 'our wonderful SULPHUR BITTE RS, is

Advice to Boys.
Whatever You are, be brave boys I
The liar’s a coward and slave boys:
Though clever at ruses,
And sharp at excuses,
He’s a sneaking and pitiful knave, bo ys.
Whatever you are, be frank boys;
’Tis better than money and rank, boys,
Still cleave to the right;
Be lovers of light;
Be open, above-board,and frank, boys.
Whatever you are, be kind boys;
Be gentle in manner and mind, boys.
The man gcdtle in mien,
Words, and temper, I ween
Is the gentleman truly refined,‘bo_vs.
But whatever you are, be true, boys;
Be visible through and through, boys.
Leave to others the shamming,
The “greening,” and “cramming ;”
In fun and in earnest be true boys.
For Better or: Worse.
The old man Bendigo keeps “a pretty
KIWIJ eye on his daughter Mary, and many
a would-be lover has taken a walk after:
few minutes conversation with the hard-
heartod parent. The old chap is stuck this
time, however, and cards are out for ll
wedding. After the lucky young man had
been sparking Mary for six months the old
gentleman stepped in as usual, requested a
private confab and led off with:
“You seem like a nice young man,snd per-
haps you are in love with Mary I”
“Yes, I am," was the honest reply.
.“Havn’t said anything to her yet, have
you 7"
“Well, no ; but I think she reciprocates
my affection.”
”Does, eh? Well, let me tell you some-
thing. Her mother died alunatic,and there's
no doubt that Mary has inherited her in-
sanity."
“I’m‘ willing to take the [chances," replied
the lover.
“Yes, but you see Mary has a terrible tem-
per. She hss twice drawn :a knife on me
with intent to commit murder.” .
“I’m used to that—got a sister just like
her," was the answer.
“And you should know that 1 have sworn
a solemn oath not to give Mary a cent of my
property," continued the father.
“Well,l’d rather start in poor and build up.
There’s more romance in it.”
The old man had one more shot in his car-
bine, and he said :
“Perhaps I ought to tell you that Mary’s
mother ran away from my home with a
butcher, and that all her relatives died in
the poor-house. These things might be
thrown up in after years, and I now warn-
you." .
“Mr. Bendigo,” replied the lovef, "I've
heard all this before, and also that you were
on trial for forgery, had to jump to Chicago
for bigamy,and served a. year in State Prison
for cattle-stealing. I’m going to marry into
your family to give you a decent reputation!
There—no thanks-goodbye 1"
Mr. Bendigo looked after the young man
with his mouth wide _open, and when he
could get his jaws together he said:
“Some infernal hyena has went and given
me away on my dodge P”
The King of Tramps.
A Danbury correspondent 'writes: The
king of tramps has put in an appearance at
Danbury, and is now incarcerated in the
jail, awaiting the result of atrial 0 charge
of vagrancy. This remarkable hinge
answers to the name of John Wilson, and
when the ofiicers found him upon the street
he was clothed in a mass of rags that fluttered
from his body like a thousand streamers. He
was taken to jail and searched, Nine pairs
of pants, a dozen vests and an equal number
of costs were removed before the searchers
came upon the framework of the “man”
himself. This mass of ragged clothing
weighed in the neighborhood of 200 pounds,
including the contents of the numerous pock-
ets. Upon searching these receptacles, the
ofiicers were astonished to-find over a dozen
pairs of rusty scissors, of all shapes and sizes,
broken nails, knives, chisels, buckles, tin
cans, horse-shoes and every conceivable
article of hardware. The accumulated mass
of rubbish must have been a load to carry
about during his long time of wanderings,
for when taken from their resting place they
appeared to have lain there for a number of
years. Each pocket contained also a mass
of rags, paper, card board and even lumps of
soil. Amid all this rubbish, carefully (ion-
cealed in bits of paper, was the sum of $147
in greenbacks, some of them issued in 1861,
faded and worn as if they had lain there
undisturbed for a decade. To all appearances
the man is sane and only evinces a mania for
callecting old scraps of paper and bits of
iron. So great a curiosity is he that he was
visited by hundreds during the day (Sunday)
He isshort in statue and apparently about
forty years of age, and is the bean ideal of
the genus tramp. The mass of rags, iron, etc.,
taken from his pockets would fill an ordinary
flour barrel. He will doubtless be sent to the
work—house.

Au Inteligent Machine.
A gentleman who has just come into pos-
session of a type writer thus describes his ex-
perlence : . '
“The type-writer should be in every fam-
ly, especially if it contains small children.
It will sweep the floor, tend the baby, wind
up the clock, make the fire, and in an emer-
gency it will bring a bucket of water and fill
the tea-kettle. It wfll make a bed and will
also drive a noisy cat from the roo on a dark
night. It can go to the post-office for letters
and the one in my possession has mended a
pair of old boots so that they look like new
ones. A farmer of our acquaintance has a
type-writer that was able, after a weeks prac.
flee, to milk a cow that not an Irishman on
the place dared to approach. In addition to
all these things it can read like an elocution-
ist, write like a graduate of a commercial
college and cipher equal to a Southern return-

Soon after President Lincoln went to
_ Washington be attended the Foundry church,
occupying a sent within the altar while
.Bishop Simpson preached a missionary ser-
mon. After the collection was'taken at the
close of 'the sei'mon and the congregation
was about to be dismissed, an irrepressible
brother rose and proposed to be one of a
given number to raise $100 to make Presi-
dent Lincoln a life director of the mission-
ary society. The proposition was put, and
Brothers A, B and C, responded glibly.
But the inevitable pause finally came. A
balance was wanting. When the Bishop
announced “Who will take the balance?”
the pause became slightly impressive. The
tall form of Lincoln was seen to arise, a
1°"8 bony arm was extended imploringly
and he said, “Bishop, this is the first time I
have ever been placed upon the suction
block. Please let me pay the balance my-
self, and take me down."

the fault that makes one glow more earn-

It throws off thousands of earnest men and
women who cannot be Christians after that
accepted type, and makes them straight-
way conclude that for them there is no
Christianity at all. Worse eventhan that of
