The “general” tells with swelling pride, How the fires of battle gleamed— Of the slaughter of men “on the other side,” As the shell and shrapnel screamed; How “we charged the foe like the migthy wave Of a-wild and stormy sea,” But iu that rush of the true and brave, The private—where was he? The “colonel” boasts how his horse fell Ou Georgia’s blood stained hills; How be stemmed the wave of that battle hell, Avenging his country’s ills; How the ghastly heaps of the gallaut slain Bestrewed the slippery ground— But we study the tragic tale in vain, There were no privates round. Oh, the “major’s” sword, it was red with core! And great was the foes’ alarm, as they charged, halted and fled before The swing of bis mighty arm, But freedom burnisb’d her epaulets as she swatted the hosts of sin And the lonely pensioner still forgets That the privates were not in. How brave they flew, at their country’s call, To the outposts far in front! “Generals,” “colonels” and “majors” ail To strive the battle’s brunt, And the “captains” stand, ten thousand strong, To tell how the thing was done— But where was the “private” in that throng? Alas, there was not one?

All did their parts well and deserve great credit. The hall and stage was beauti fully decorated with evergreens, sun flowers and purafine candles, making al together a lovely scene. It was voted by all present a great success. This is a step in the right direction, and if we had more of such amusements and fewer parties for children to go to, there would be a vast impiovement in our sooiety later on. C. TO TORONIO.

I have been asked by an interested party to give to the readers ofThe Cultivator the several laws of this state controlling the matter of tres passing upon lauds. This 1 do, of course as a correspondent of The Cul tivator, and in no sense in my official capacity. Trespass is defined in the Code to be “the willful cutting or felling of any wood, timber or shade tree upon the land, enclosed or unenclosed, of another, without the consent of the owner ” “The squatting or settling upon tlre land enclosed or unenclosed, of anoth er, whether public or private, with no bona ti :e claim or color of title, and without the consent of the own er.” Tins last will not be of force provided the intruder shall move off the land in ten days, nor against way farers who camp for the night. It any person shall willfully enter, go upon or pa-s over any field, orch ard, garden or other enclosed or cul tivated land of another, after being personally forbidden so to do by the owner or the person entitled to the posession for the time being, or au thorized agent thereof, ho shall be guiity of misdemeanor as trespasser. Further, it is not lawful tor any person to hunt with dogs, firearms or other implements m or through any enclosed lands of cultivated fields, walks or pastures, after being forbid den to do so by the proper authority, This notice can be given by posting cards in not less than six places on ihe lands in question and one at the door of the court house in the county where the lands are situated. Persons guilty of these offences named above will be liable to be pun ished under section 43100f the Code, by a line not to exceed $1,000; impiis onment, not to exceed six months; to work in the chaingangs on Ihe public works, or on such other works as Ihe county authorities may employ the chaingangs, not to exceed twelve months, and any one or more of these punishments may be ordered in the discretion of the Judge. The nature of the enquiry to which the communication is intended to be a reply, is such as not to make known whether or not it has been answered in above quotations. Taking it for granted that it is desired to know what protection the law affords against depredations by stock, it may be proper and pertinent to the inqui ry submitted, to say that the statutes in tlie ahscucc of what is known as the “stock law,” require on the part of the owner of cropi, certain defence against depredations. The law requires enclosures, com monly called worm fences, to he five licet high, and from the ground to the height of three fe et the rails shall not be more than four inches apart, all paling fences shall be live feet from the ground, and the palings not moie than two inches apart A lawlul fence made with barbed wire, must consist of “at least six hor izontal strands stretched between posts, firmly set in the ground or growing trees, not more than ten feet apart the bottom wire not to be more than four inches from the ground the next wire not more thau four inches from the first, the next wire not to be more than six inches from the third, next wire to be not more than ten inches from the fourth, and the topmost wire to be not less than four and a half feet Irom the ground with a [dank strip not less than four inches in width, either below or above the topmost wire. In counties that have abolished or removed fences, either by tote of the people or by legislative action, “the boundary lines of each lo*, tract or oared of land in said county shall be, and the same are declared a lawful fence, when fences are made pursuant to law, and any animal b-eaks in, the owner of the enclosure shall not kill or injure him lor the first breaking in aud not till atie notice is given to the owner or agent, it possible, but said last mentioned owner shall be liable for double the damage done by his stock. If any horse, mule, cow, or lK*g, or any other animal or animals used or fit for food or labor, shall commit trespass or damage, ss described above, it is lawful for the owner of the premises to impound said ani mals and retail them until tha owner thereof sh ill make full satisfaction for the damages committed including all costs and expenses, unless disposed of after three days notice as an estray. In the event the amount of dama ges committed by the trespass cannot be agreed upon by the party claimed to be damaged and the owner of the animals, the aggrieved party may make claim before the Justice of Peace of the distri-t aud if no justice iu such district, then to the most con venient justice in any other district. Such justice shall issue a summons as in other suits, returnable in five days from the date thereof, requiring the owner or claimant of such stock to ap pear at a time aud j lace named there in, aud which shall be served as other summons at least three days before the time of hearing, when such jus tice will proceed to hear evidence and give judgment. I have not given in detail all the laws of this state against trespass, j suppose, however the points of inqui ry are fully answered. If the laws now upon the statute books were fairly and uniformly en forced, there would be little or oo complaint about trespass. Much of the trouble on the farm comes, not for the lack, of sufficient law, but because of the failure to enforce it. Much, it not all, the annoyance that comes from illegal hunting, burning fence rails, cutting timber, etc. could be remedied if a few parties were made to suffer the penalties attached, w.lli the full knowledge that all violators would be similarly treated. The stock law sought to be in force in certain sections of the state was not intended solely for the piotcction of the growing crop?, but for the pres ervation of lands, to prevent the gen eral damage that comes from the unre strained wandering of stock in winter as well as the growing seasons. It is oftentimes true that the tramp ing of stock over arable fields in the winter season, does far more injury to the lands than can l<e compensated by the pickings they gather from the fields. Furthermore, the vegetable matter taken in this way from the fields should bo reserved for the sod, and notuselessly given for the tempo ral') and insufficient substance ot a lot. of scrub and valueless animals. A still greater evil, however conies from the tempoiary winter suspen sion of the law, in that we cannot util ize the fa'l sowing of oals. I haye been long since convinced lhat fall is the proper time, in this section, for the sowing of oat?, and mainly for that reason I desired, on my farm, ‘.he benefits of what is known with us as the “stock law” that T might not be constantly annoyed by the breaking in of my neighbor’s half starved cattle and noises upon my growing grain. It*the laws upon the statute books against trespass of all kinds arc strict ly enforced fora time in any commu nity in this state all Hie people will adjust themselves to the the condi tions and much friction and annoy ance will be removed.
