STOCK LAWS.

Still Another Bill on the QnestionThis One Relating to Large Stock-

Last week the GAZBTTE printed a bill prohibiting the running at large of small stock. This bill lelates to large stock, prescribing the conditions under which they may be required to be enclosed by their owners. Both bills wereMrafted by Edwin Rogers, a farmer of Honey Creok Township, who has been active in agitating the question. Neither of these bills have as yet been presented—we were in error in saying last week that they had fceen. But both are in fhe hands of Senator Bichowsky and will be shortly introduced in the event of there not being drafted another bill, embody ing the ie&lures of both and some valuable points\in a bill presented in the Senate by Senator Yancey, of Marion county. That bill of Senator Yancey's we hope to lay before our readers in a succeeding issue.

We desire in this place further to say that at the end of the bill will be found 'ie form of a petition to the Legislsture which ought to be numerously signed and sent to the Legislature to quicken the consciences and stir the activities of the men sent there to make laws for the state of Indiana. We hope every farmer into whose hands this copy ot the GAZETTE comes will cut out the petition, paste it at the head of a piece of paper, sign it himself, get his neighbors to sign it and send it to the GAZBTTB office and we will see that it is forwarded to In* dianapolis. It is general in its terms and asks merely for the passage of a law on the subject. All such petitions circulated and signed lafet summer should be sent to the GAZETTE office/'

I IVROCK I.AW PETITION. TO TUB HOSOKABIiE BODY—THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OK TH* STATE OF INDIA3A.

We the undersigned citizens (farmers, mechanics, merchants and tradespeople) oi Vigo county and State of Indiana, do BOW present this our humMe petition and prayer in th* earnest hope that such a course will be taken by your honorable body as will secure to us the protection herein asked.

For years past it has been required of the farmers, the tillers of the soil, to fence in their lands.in order to protect their crops against animals that are permitted to run at large upon the commons and unclosed sands—in other words on the roads—and such is the case even to this day.

Your petitioners believe that there wvs a time in the liKtory of Vigo county when

it was not only beneficial to the majority of the farmers but also to all cltsses of the county that those who had land should be required to keep feuce?, in order .that some benefit might be derived from the pasturing of the vast amount of unincloaed land lying uncultivated. At that time material was much cheaper than now and was more easily obtained. In fact each man had sufficient timber upon his land to fence it in.

Our county has grown out of a pasturing into an agricultural one, and iu the places where once stood dense lorests are seen to-day the waving wheat and the rustling corn. Still all the cultivated land and even those portions that are not cultivated must be fenced br the owners1 in order to prevent the &tock belonging to others from trespassing—and all because there is no law prohibiting the running £t large of stock.

We believe that the farmers should be protected in this much that a law should be passed which would require all persons to keep up their stock rather than the farmers be compelled to maintain miles upon miles of fence at a fabulous cost to them each year- Indeed, what it costs the farmers ot Vigo county each year to maintain their fences uld three times buy all the animate that run al large and would besides pay for all tht butter and milk produced by said ani. mall for the term ot five years.

Such a law as we now pray tor would save the farmers of Yigo county over a

?uarter

Whereas the present laws relative to the running at large ol stock upen the commons and unindosed lands or highways arc burdensome because of the rast amount of time lost and in many in stances the necessity of entering into a suit at law in enforcing them, and Inasmuch as said laws ate burdensome they are virtually of no benefit. And whereas the increasing scarcity of timber, and in consequence thereof, the increasing cost of fence building material, makes it burdensome in the extreme tor the faimers to fence in their crops in such a manner as 10 protect them from large and small stock and whereas it seems more in accordance with the principles of justice that a man should be required to ience in his stock rather tnan he be compelled to fence all stock out, Therefore

of a million dollars every year. this is saved to the farmers it is added to the wealth of the county, and conae- 5 quently all classes are thereby benefitted. For the reasons above mentioned and for many others too numerous to mention,

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24—Information has been received at Brisbane, Queensland, that a large three mesHd pchooner was lost on the shore at the end of the mouth of the Fly river, Now Guinea. The creW, 17 in number, were killed by the savages, their heads cut off, and distributed among native villages. Captain Pennafeather, of the schooner Pease, made a search, but found only a lot of wreckage with nothing to indentify the vessel. His party were several times attacked by the natives. One old woman confessed lo the murder of the crew. Pennafeather burnt the native villages and destroyed their canoes.
