The Geese Crop in Ohio.

immense quantities of geese have re
ceutly arrived In New York from Ohio
They are driven across the country in
drose., until they reach the Erie Railroad
where they are put on board the cars
About 500 can be transported in one dou
BILE -decked car. The feathers are relied
upon to pay the expense of transporta-
ton, as well as the small sum at which
they are sold in Ohio, leaving the au.oun,
abtaiBed for the csrcasses as 30 much clear
profit. Thus far the calculation has pref
ty nearly held good The average price
paid for them alive in Ohio is about 25
cts. The principal purchasers in New
York are the Jews, who never buy dead
poultry that has been killed by the Gea-
tiles.
The agricultural editor of the New
York Tribune has been naking inve>ti-
cations with the view OF posting himscIf
upon the "goo>e Question" and gives the
result in the following paragraph -
"A resident in the Buckeye State,
which has lately made such an ut-pour-
ing of geese, gives a reason why they can
be procured there at prices that will pay
d profit to the droyer who brings them
eastward In the early settlement of the
country, the increase of 1ocks to excess
was kept down by "tbe varmiuts." 1t
was also in early tines, not an unusual
thing for those who Kept geese to eat now
aud then one, more from necessity than
choice Nov, who ever eats a goose
in Ohio !" Aud since the population bas
increased. and the destructive animals
decreased, the geese have gone on multi
plyiUg to such an extent that in some pla-
ces there arc large iocks, the Ownership
of which is as uncertain as that of"woods
hogs" used to be when that long Do-ed
breed we're in the ascendant These focks
roam at large. living in any body's corn

Ger. They are considered nuisance by
many farmers, and one was so nuch an
noyeG by the fccks of geese in his own
field aud cattle feeding lots that be bought
parcel ofravepous old sows on purpose to
have them ran down and eat uP the geese.
We haye heard poultry dealers in this
city complaining bitterly about the poor
quality of the Ohio goose stock that they
were rot we'll faIted; that they were of
small size, and generally that their ap-
pearauce was of the scallawag order.-
Perhaps they will cease to wonder at this,
wbcu they learn that they are never fat
ted, but run wild in Sumner, and snatch
such feed 10 Winter as they can amid the
terrors of men. boys, clubs. sticks, dogs
and "rayerous old sows;' and that they
are "killed 70 get rid of them" and then
picked-the feathers being regarded in
Ohio as the only valuable portion.

THE GUNMAKER OF MOSCOW.
A Tale of the Empire under Peter the
Great.
CHAPTER T.
CHAPTER I.

The time at which we open our story
is nid-winter, and towards the close ol
the seventeenth century. Russia is the
scene.
In the suburbs Of Moscow, and very
near the river Moskwa, stood an humble
cot, which betrayed neatness of arrange
ment and show OF taste that more than
made up for its smallness of size. Back
of the cot was an artisans shop, and 9TH
er buildings. This shop was devoted
to the manufacture of firearms, mostly.
Some swords, aud other edged weapons,
were made here upon special application.
The master of this tenement was the
hero of our tale, Ruric Newell. We find
him standing by bis forge, watching the
white smoke as it curled up towards the
throat of the chimney. He was young
man, not over three. and twenty, and po-
sessed frame of moro than ordinary
symmetry and muscular Development
He was not large-not above a medium
size-but single glance at the swelling
chest, the broad shoulders, and the sinewy
ridges of the bare arms, told at once that
he was master of great physical power.
His father had been killed in the then
late war with the Turks, and the son lea
wing his mother with suficiency of sus-
teDance, went to Spain soon after the be-
reavement. There he found work in the
most noted armories; and now well vers.
ed in the trade, he had returned to his
native city to follow his calling, and sup
port his mother.
Near by stood boy-Paul Peepof-
a bright, intelligent lad. some fifteen years
OF age, who had bound himself to the
gunmaker for the purpose of learning the
art.
Claudia Newell, Ruric's mother, was
noble looking woman, and the light OF
her still handsome countenance was new
er brighter than when gazing upon her
boy. She had thankful, loving heart,
and prayerful, hopeful soul
at is showing again, faster than ever"
remarked Paul, as he took his seat at the
supper table, in company with the others.
"Ab," returned Rurio, resting bis knife

A Distinction and a Difference.

A Magistrate in Southwark, Pbiladel-
phia, was greatly puzzled short time

bill, on which he was about issuing a
summons
70 stealing one are 373 cents.

The constable was more of business

to inspect the account. aud then cautious
ly hinted that his bouor had mistaken the
case. 1t was steeling the axe, that is,
putting steel on the edge of it, that the
charge was made.

A Fight.

| Some persons got into fight at G Goulds
borough, on Friday, the ! tn inst, al
an lrisbwan was severely hurt. Officer
were in pursuit of the offenders, on Sat
urday, but did not arrest them. So
The fight commenced in an insult Of
fered to an Irish girl named Elisa Mack
esy, which her friends resented. The
girl came to Wilkes Barre and made com
plant before Esquire Barnes, who issued
warrants for the arrest of Charles Miller
Fred. Nagls, Nelson Stevens, and William
LaFrants.
Constable Rohn took a mule team with
bob seds. and black driver, and start
ed on Saturday afternoon for GouIdsbo-
rough. Miller had made himself scarce.
Nagle stepped across the Lehigh into
Monroe county. Stevens and LaFrants
were arrested. Some scamp struck ROBIN
at young Fred. Nagle's and almost knock
ed him down, but the fellow escaped in
the dark.
While the constable was getting his
team ready for return, the black driver
not being able to find himself in the dark,
(from some cause, explained perhaps by
stopping at taverus on the way) the two
prisoners ran of. When starting it was
discovered that the box of the sled, the
log chain which fastened it on, the whip
and Buffalo robe bad al been stolen, and
officer and driver had to ride home on the
bare bobs.
What a graceless set of scamps officer
Rohn got amongst. They seemed to
have no reverence for the majesty of the
commonwealth as represented in her off,
GERS. 1t was bad enough for prisoners to
run away, bu: to steal part of the sled
was outrageous.
Mr.. Rohn says in another half hour
be believes mules and harness would have
gone, and perhaps the driver who was
already in possession of bad spirits.
One man was badly burt in the fight.
