disposed of by His Honor,; Judge
Doyle, on Tuesday. Robert Sweet
and Isaac Hill, wee eclj ;cant lots on
the 9th concession of S„ephen, and at
the rear of these lots is a quantity of
bush which has never been fenced in,
and is a pasture common to a number
of adjacant lots Last May, Hill ask-
ed. Sweet to build a portion of the line
fence through the bush land,. and up-
on his refusing, Hill called in the
fenceviewers, who made au award in
favor of Hill's contention, Upon the
advise of his solicitor, Sweet appeal-
ed to the County Judge. The whole
day was taken up in hearing evidence,
and then Judge Doyle set the award
aside, the costs to be paid by Hill.
His Honor held that as the bush land
was unenclosed, Sweet could not be
compelled to build a line fence there.

Canada annually consumes nearly
3,000,000 tons of anthracite coal, all of
which comes from Pensyivania, Most
of this is delivered during the summer
months The prolonged itrike has
changed the situation to such an ex-
tent that this summer no coal was de-
livered, and a serious fuel famine con-
fronts n the
o
ft '
people his latitude. This
condition of affairs has given a consid-
erable impetus to the manufacturing
of peat for fuel all over the Province,
and will probably lead to the perfec-
tion of inventions, so that this crude
bog will, in course of time, be the lead-
ing fuel and to a large extent take the
place of hard Ci'al.
Horses are often seriously poisoned
and sometimes killed by eating hay
containing the so-called "fox -tail,"
"horse -tail," "pine -top," '°meadow
pine,"or "rush," known botanically
as Equisetum arvense. This fact has
been conclusively proved by experi-
ments made at the Vermont Experi-
ment Station. Many practical farm-
ers and horsemen became convinced
years ago that this kind of poisoning
occurs, but their observations have
disagreed. and contradicted until the
matter had to be settled by scientific
experiments. Among other tests,
"swale hay," containing considerable
quantities of this "rush" or "fox -tail"
was fed to horses. Symptoms of pois-
oning followed, and the horses died
from the effects,
MR. BORDEN IS 'CONSISTENT.
When Mr. R. L. Borden, leader of
the couserya'tive,party, and his friends
left au their tour of the West, Liberal
papers-oricerned theniselfvee ala t
what poliby would be advocated for
the development of the Prairie Coun-
try. Their curiosity has been grati-
fied and Mr+ Borden and his support-
ers come out of the ordeal. models of
consistency. They bare preached the
doctrine of " adequate protection" for
the manufaturer, the artizan and the
farmer, in British Columbia and the
territories alike, They were not arm-
ed with a Free Trade platform for
those who relish that policy, but they
told the farmer about the best features
of the National Policy, and by force-
ful arguments convinced many that,
under Oonservetive rule the agricul-
turist's interests will be safe -guarded.

ROYAL DISEASE.
Sudden changes of weather are es-
pecially trying, and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and
consumptive. The progress of scrofula
during a normal October is commonly
great.. We never think of scrofula
its bunches, cutaneous eruptions, and.
wasting of the bodily substance -
without thinking of the great good
many sufferers from it have derived.
from Hood's Sarsaparilla, whose radi-
cal and permanent cures of this one
disease are enough to make it the
most famous medicine in the world.
There is probably not a city or town
where Flood's 54•rsaparilla bas not
proved its niei°it in more homes" that9

eating scrofula. which is almost as
serious and as much to be feared as its
near relative, -consumption -
