I^ntam |ntclligeitca\ Fenees and the Fence Law. In our eyes nothing so mars the appearance of a farm as unsightly, tumbled-down, crooked fences, and we have never yet convinced our? selves that they were necessary or economical. It is true that, as the law now stands, they are necessary evils, for custom or law permits any one to turn stock of any kind upon the high? way, to range at will all over the neighboring farms, destroying everything that is not pro? tected by an adequate barrier in the shape of a fences The law even goes further than this, and defines what sort ol a fence shall be con? sidered a legal barrier against this stock, which is allowed to range through the country in ut? ter violation of the first and simplest prin? ciples of equity. Custom has much to do with shaping our opiuions, and in nothing does she show her tyranny more than in this. Men still sustain this custom, while acknowledging that it is wrong in principle and contrary to the interests of the entire community. The fences of the United States have cost more than all other improvements besides?i. e., on the farm. They have cost far more than the farms themselves, and their repairs from year to year is far the heaviest burden the farmers of the country have to bear. In France, and most places in Germany, fences are almost unknown. Stock are confined to small pastures, or fed in the stables through the greater part of the year, and wherever, as in the case of sheep, it is nec? essary to give them wider range, they are at? tended by a shepherd, who, with the aid of one or two well-trained dogs, keeps them within proper bounds. The system as practiced there may not be applicable in all its details to our condition, but many of its features might be copied to our infinite advantage. As the law now stands, we can only enjoy the fullest bene? fit of our land at the suffrance of our neighbors, . or where protected by fences, and to any one who does not indulge in keeping any consider? able quantity of stock, the burden appears very onorous indeed. We know a single old sow which has cost the making and laying up of not less than ten thousand rails within the last two years, and the annoyance and dread of fre? quent visits even after these preparations for keeping her out. Yet this same ill-favored an? imal has never seen the day that she was worth five dollars. Her owner, a strong, healthy and active son of Ham, informed us that he had spent fifteen days in less than a year looking for her, and that, too, when he could easily have made one dollar a day at work. Had the law compelled him to keep her confined, not less than one hundred dollars would have been saved to the community. This is a stong case, bnt not by any means an unusual one. We are conscious of the fact that many would think it a great burden to be compelled to keep all their stock within their own enclosures, but we believe that in every case?as it certainly is in our own?experience would prove it the best policy.?Southern Planter and Farmer. Skiffles' Spree.?Sniffles brought his two weeks' spree to a close ou Thursday night. He lay on a lounge in the parlor, feeling as mean as sour lager, when something in the corner of the room attracted bis attention. Raising on his elbow, he gazed steadily at it. Rubbing his eyes, he stared again, and, as he stared his terror grew. Calling his wife, ho asked hoarse? ly: "Mirandy, what is that?" "What is what, Likey ?" Sniffles' name is Licurgus, and his wife calls him Likey for short and sweet. "Why, that?that?thing in the corner," said the frightened man, pointing at it with a hand that shook like a politician. "Likey, dear, I see nothing," replied the woman. "What! you don't see it?" he shrieked. "Then I've got 'em. Oh, heavens ! Bring me the Bible; Mirandy, bring it quick ! Here? here on this sacred book, I swear never to touch a drop of wiskey. If I break my vow, may my right hand cleave to the roof of my mouth, and-" 4 Here, catching another glimpse of the terri? ble object, he clutched his wife and begged in piteous tones: "Don't leave me?don't leave your Likey," and burying his face in the folds of her dress, he sobbed and moaned himself into a troubled sleep. Then his wife stole gently to the corner, picked up the toy suake and threw it into the stove. A'Negro With a Head that Was Use? ful.?One of the most remarkable characters has just passed away at Williamstown, Mass., in the death of a negro named Abram Parsons, or "Abe Bunter," as he was known to every one acquainted with the town. Abe's popular title was descriptive and grew out of his ram like or bunting propensities, "bunting" being his readiest and most effective method of de? fense. His thickness of skull, even for one of bis race, was simply astounding. He would split heavy plank with his head in the way of business, or for the amusement of any one wil? ling to pay a quarter for such fun, or would utterly discomfit and rout an adversary by launching himself bodily and irresistibly at his stomach. These were his play spells. The worthies of the village will vouch for other stories illustrative of Abe's more vigorous achievements. They beguiled him years ago into splitting a small grindstone. He was asked at one of the stores if he wanted a cheese. Naturally he did, and they told him it must be put in a salt sack and he must smash it with his head; so they inserted the stone, and Abe actually and literally shivered it?and let us hope got his cheese. When Cole's store was burned some years ago, and the heavy door could not be broken open, Abe very obligingly pounded it in with his head.?Troy Press. Breathing Through the Mouth.?A fact which cannot be too frequently impressed on the mind, says the Science of Health, is "that the pernicious habit of breathing through the mouth, while sleeping or waking, is very hurt? ful. There are many persons who sleep with the mouth open and do not know it. They mav go to sleep with it closed and wake with it j closed; but if the mouth is dry and parched on waking, it is a sign that it has been open du? ring sleep. Snoring is auother sure sign. This habit should be overcome. At all times, except when eating, drinking or speaking, keep the month firmly closed, and breathe through the nostrils, and retire with a firm determina? tion to conquer. The nostrils are the proper breathing apparatus?not the mouth. A man may inhale poisonous gases through the mouth without being aware of it, but not through the nose." ? The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel thinks that the civil rights bill may now be con? sidered a law. It declares the bill another act in the drama of hate, and says the sole purpose \ of the bill is to provoke disturbances in the South, which will furnish capital for the Re? publican party in its next campaign. In war a good general ascertains, if possible, what his enemy would have him do, and proceeds not to do it. To the attacks of the Radical party the South most oppose a steady front of sub? lime patience. Insult must be met with for? bearance. The people who vanquished great odds on the battlefield are now called upon to achieve, in the ruling of their spirits, greater triumphs than the taking of cities. Let these high resolves be made of non-resistance except in the courts and at the ballot box. Give no triumph to our enemies by doing what they must desire us to do, by mortification for our? selves, by falling into the trap they have set for us. ? When boys stand on their heads they ap? pear to occupy a false position in the world. All Sorts of Paragraphs. ? In Sweden a law has just been signed by the King which gives to women the absolute j control and disposition, as against husbands, I of the money they earn and of property ac? quired subsequent to marriage. ? It is said that a young clergyman called on Dr. Dwight for advice as to the best meth? od of treating a very difficult and abstruse point of mental philosophy, upon preparing a sermon. "I can not give you the information on the subject," the Doctor replied; "I am not familiar with such topics; I leave them for young men." ? A very hospitable lady, of the city of Utica, New York, gave a party for her friends among the young unmarried people some time ago. Round dances were proposed, when the lady said: "I cannot allow you to have any round dances. If any of the young men wish to hug the young ladies, let them sit down up? on the sofa, and go right at it in earnest, but? no round dances, mind you !" ? At the close of the war, Gen. Joe John? ston met in Baltimore a young man who had enjoyed undisturbed the social delights of that rebellious city, and who said to him, "Well, General, we are conquered, but not subdued." "Were you in the service, young man ?" asked the Generai. "No, sir; I had not that honor" "Then, my friend," said Johnston, "you may not be subdued, but I am." ? A good story is told of an old farmer, whose son had for a long time been ostensibly studying Latin in a popular academy. The farmer not being perfectly satisfied with the course and conduct of the young hopeful, re? called him from school, and placing him by the side of a cart one day, thus addressed him : "Now, Joseph, here is a fork, and there is a heap of manure and cart: what do you call them in Latin ?" "Forkibus, cartibus, etman uribus," said Joseph. "Well, now," said the old man, "if you don't take that forkibus pret? ty qulckibus, and pitch that manuribus into that cartibus, I'll break your damn lasy backi bus." Joseph went to workibus forthwithibus. (85 NEARLY all diseases originate from Indi? gestion and Torpidity of the Liver, and relief is always anxiously sought after.

A Cargo ^f 500 tons now on the way to this port. This Guano gave great satis? faction in Virginia and North Carolina the past season. Circular and certificates sent on appli? cation. Prof. Wilson, of Baltimore, Md., says of this Guano: "By a critical examination of the analysis of the various cargoes you have im? ported, a si vi king feature is the great regularity in the percentage of the important constituents essential for the production of all crops." Prof. F. A. Genth, of Philadelphia, Penn., saj's: "The Guano is evidently of animal original, and the minute bones which were dis? covered in the same indicate that it is the result of the decay of bats, mice, ifec. The quantity of organic matter which is still present is about 12 per cent., and this yields about 2} per cent, of ammonia. A portion of the nitrogen is present as nitric acid, of which about 3 per cent, were found. All the nitrogen present would be equivalent to about 3J per cent, of ammonia. The phosphoric acid in tho Guano averaged about 12i per cent., equal to 27.3 per cent, of Bone Phosphate. A considerable quan? tity of the phosphoric acid, however, is present as so-called ncutrai Phosphate of Lime, which, being slightly soluble in water, ronders the Guano as quick in its action as a corresponding quantity of Superphosphates would do. Tho small per centago of potash which was found in analysis adds to its value. From all tho ex? periments which I have niado of the Guana Iiani Guano no doubt can exist that it is a valu? able manure." Prof. H. O. Whito, of the Georgia Stato Ag? ricultural Society, says: "As shown by tho analysis, this Guano contains, in good propor? tion, all the elements which are generally con? sidered as of value for plant food, and the forms and combinations in which they are present are such as to render them available to f and assimilable by the plant. 1 should judge that tho proper use of this article for purposes ! of fertilization would be attended with great profit." Prof. Charles U. Shepard, jr., in a recent analysis of this Guano, says: "Tins Guano (of animal origin) would appear from its physical and chemical properties to answer every rea? sonable expectation of a commercial manure."
