On motion of Mr.. PERRY of Oxford, the
vote was reconsidered whereby Thursday was
assigned for the consideration of the bill to
authorize towns to aid manufactures. The
same gentleman offered several amendments
which were ordered to printed on his motion.
The bill and amendments were then assigned
to Thursday.
Bill an act to repeal sections s. 6, I, and
of chap, so of the Revised Statutes relating
| to bounty on wolves and bears was taken
up.
Mr.. LEBRooK moved the indefinite post
ponement of the bill. If it should pass it
would act as hardship upon the pioneer
settlers of the State, who have risked their
fortunes in the forests. This bounty serves
as protection to them and he was opposed to
interfering as there are no petitions or call
from any body. There had been over two
hundred sheep killed in Piscataquis county
within the past year by bears alone. In other
counties the destruction has been even greater.
Mr. PERRY Of Oxford said the "Oxford
bears" had an interest in this matter and he
hoped the bill would be indefinitely postponed.
/ Mr.. kEEGAN as a member Of the committee
which reported the bill was willing that the
bill should be SO postponed.
! The motion to indefinitely postpone pre-
vailed.
MIR. HARDING of Yarmouth arose and said

reports my name among the absentees, and if
l were absent this morning should be re-
ported, and my constituents would point to it
and say, "Where were you last Monday?"
Therefore, / move a call of the House, to see
