Wo are in receipt of tho following, which explains itself: "The other night two of my hor ses wandered on to my neighbors farm, he found them and put them in his barn. In the morning he re fused to let my wife have them till she paid him $2. Does the law of Nebraska allow him to do this? My farm is in Creston. Please answer this through your paper aud by so doing you will oblige yours truly." In answer: our inquirer will find the Nebraska law on the subject at pages 83 and 84 of the general stat utes: "the owners of cattle, horses, mules, swine and sheep in this state, shall hereafter be liable for all dam age done by such stock upon the cultivated lands in this state, &c." The subsequent sections provide that Utlie person damaged may have a lie'n upon such trespassing animals, for the full amount of damages and costs, but does not leave him the sole arbiter of his own damage. It is lawful for him to notify the owner of the stock of the amount of dam age claimed, and that ho holds tho stock ; also naming an arbitrator in case the amount of damages is not satisfactory to the owner of the stock; in which case ho may name an arbitrator and they two a third, whose decision may be filed with a justice and operate as a judgment. A law of '79, page 1G5, provides, "No cattle, horses, mules, swine or sheep shall run at large during the night time, between sunset and sun rise, in tho state of Nebraska, aud the owner or owners of auy such animal shall be liable in an action for damages done during such night time." A law of 1SS1 amends sec tion eight, muking it read: "culti vated lands within tho meaning of this act shall include all forest trees, fruit trees aud hedge rows planted on said lands, also all lauds sur rounded by a plowed strip not less than one rod in width, which strip shall be plowed at least once a year." These are the provisions of law bearing upon the case, and our cor respondent can draw the inferences, aB well as wo. It will be noticed that the legal claim is proportioned according to the damage done. The Nuflcriiis; CIiIcT. President Garfield had a relapse on Saturday last; the ncw3 spread over the country with lightning speed, producing great anxiety among the people, which was in tensified when it was known that the consulting physicians had been telegraphed for to hasten to Wash ington. Tho bad symptoms, so far as wo can learn, resulted from the stoppage of the flow of the pus from the wound, which produced a chill, and when it subsided, was succeeded by a very high fever. IIo was more restless during the night and had another chill just before midnight . After the consulting physicians, Dr. Hamilton of New York and Dr. Agncw of Philadelphia, arrived, a consultation was immediately hold and a surgical operation decided upon to reach the cavity of the pus. A horizontal incision was made about three inches below the wound as it would intersect the channel, and relieve the difficulty; this was followed by a discharge of pus, which was from the cavity such as had been anticipated. The operation was pro nounced a decided success. The latest reliable news from the President at this writing is July 25h 12:30, a. m., which says, "there is no unfavorable change in his condi tion. No chill to-night. lie is rest ing comfortably." A copy of the Wahoo Independent reaches us with the following para graph marked : "We have heard the uamoof Hon. M. B. Reese, district attorney of the Fourth judicial district, mentioned by members of the bar for tho su preme bench this fall. If Mr. Reese will allow his name to be used for this office, we have not the shadow of a doubt but that he will receive the nomination. We know of no other mau in the state so eminently qualified for tho supreme bench as Mr." Reese no other man who so nearly haB the entire confidence of the bar, or whose nomination would be urged by a larger constituency. However, we do not know that Mr. Reese would wish his name to be used in this connection. Wo have no knowledge that he will allow himself to be brought forward as a candidate, even if a favorable oppor tunity oflers itself." Now, while we have no objection to Mr. Reese, but believe he would make an excellent judge, neverthe less we see no need in making a change at this time. Judge Maxwell is known to the entire bar of the state ; he makes no mistakes ; his integrity, ability, and impartiality are unquestioned, and wo believe the people of the State do not desire a change. Charles Bradlaugh, the radical member of Parliament for Notting ham, is still prevented from taking his seat, for tho reason that he re fuses to take the prescribed oath. What good objection can be urged against a man who affirms or swears to a form of oath which he considers binding on his conscience to perform what the oath or affirmation re quires? . Michael McMahon died the other night in tho hospital at Chicago of hydrophobia. He had been slightly bitten by a house dog which gave no evidence of being mad at the time nor has since become rabid. Mc Mahon's convulsions were so terri ble that it required eight mon to hold him. Tin-: Omaha Republican gives some timely hint upon the subject of electricity, wire fence and stock. It claims many more fatalities from lightning this year in Nebraska than in any former year. A wire fence does not aflbrd much protection in a driving storm, but the- animals imagine it docs, and proceed accord ingly to take refuge there. The accouut published recently of the killing of sixty-five head of sheep by a single stroke of lightning, and now another that in Dixou county eight or ten head of cattle were killed by a single bolt. In these cases the animals were seeking protection from the storm alongside of the wire fence. In view of the losses farmers and stock growers are sustaining, would it not bo better to do away with wire fences altogether, reasons the Republican. District Attorney Cork hill -has found the missing bullot which was fired at the President, and about which there has been so much search. A German glazier who repairs win dows about the city had with him in the depot when the shot was fired his box of glass which he was in the act of takiug from his shoulders, when he heard the noise of tho pis tol, and immediately three panes of glass in his box were shattered aud scattered. lie at once rushed from the depot, thinking it was no place of safety for him. While cleaning out his box he found the ball and afterwards took it to the District Attorney. The report from Washington City on the 2lst, relative to President Garfield's condition, says his im provement is steady and uninter rupted, lie is bright and cheerful, has an excellent appetite, and ex presses a desire for substantial nour ishment. Tho surgeons express themselves cntiroly satisfied with tho progress of the case. On the morninsr of the 21-t a piece of cloth ing about one-half of an inch square came away spontaneously with the pus from the deeper part, of wound. It consisted chiefly of cotton fibers with a few wool fiberi adhering. Mr. C. II. Davis and Mis Birdie E. Myers lived at Brcckcnridge, Minn. Mr. Davis falls in lovo with Miss Myers hud she for a whilo lis tened to what, he had to Bay on tin; subject of his love and encouraged his visits and it is said become en gaged to him. In an evil hour she gave him due notice not to call again, and the matter rested so heavily upon his mind that it led him into tho commission of the rash act of taking poison and destroying his life, with the picture of tho beau tiful Miss Myers near his heart, found on tho inside of his vest.

His body was found about thirty feet from the door of his house with his throat cut in two places and two or three other knife wounds ou his person. He was evi dently murdered in his bed and afterwards carried out doors, but by whom or for what motive is cntiroly uuknown. Geo. W. Coles, book-keeper in Harry Mine's theatre, New York was shot the other night by Mrs. Elizabeth Coleman, the wife of a sea captain and tho mother of four children. She claims that Coles had seduced her and then betrayed her to her husband, and she had de termined to kill him. Coles died on tho 20th.

Mr. Editor: There is one Biibjcct I wish to call your attention. It is the importance of boring or drilling one or two holes in Platto county to test if coal is not to bo found there. This village has contracted with a man to put down a drill hole twenty-five hundred feet in order to obtain a flowing well to supply the towu. They are now down twenty four hundred feet, and water pour ing out of it at the rate of 100 gallons per minute. In my opinion this is a question for the county instead of a few farmers combining to do it. If Nance and Platte counties would give the required amount of bonds and get the man who is at work here to put down a drill hole about two thousand feet, they would do a good thing. The pcoplo have money to give corporations. Have they none to bore for coal for themselves ? It would not cost much if the coun ties of Nance and Platto would go equal parts aud drill ou the bounda ry of tho counties. There arc three veins of coal hero. Yours truly, Str cater, III.
