IT, the Editor ofthe .imericdH -
The lobster has been up for its share of
notice In the present Legislature: a bill
having passed To be cngrossed to-day max
ing 1t an offence to take them between the
first day of August and first day of Novem-
Der, OF each year.
There are few facts in connection with
this industry OF the lobster fishery. that
may not be unntercstins TO your readers
Less then twenty years ago. think. the
art OF hermetrically sealin. tin cans was
discovered and patented This opened
the door fora new branch OF business
the canning business. and within the last
few years 1t has assumed almost enormous
proportions.
Fresh fish, meat, vegetables and fruit
are packed and shipped in large quantities
to all parts of the world without injury to
quality or favor. The most important
branch OF this industry TO Us OF Hancock
Co. however, Is the lobster canning BUSH
ness. From the best informed parties. I
learn that during the fishing season of last
year. ten thousand tons OF HOLSTERS were
taken from the waters of Maine and manu-
featured for the market in the eighteen
packing establishments that are dstrbut-
ed up and down our coast.
The capital invested cannot be much less
than $1,000 oJo for about 81 .0JU, 900 is paid
yearly to trapper- aud factory operatives.
The demand being 50 large, it Is found
to exceed the supply. Each succeeding
year has found them beautifully less in
numbers and size. Fishermen like hunts
men, are indiscrminate In their slaughter.
and 1t has been found necessary. in the
opinion Of the legislature, To make a close
time OF three months. In my opinion a
close time OF two months would have been
sufficient, a. 1t would have covered the
hot season of the year when Holsters are
most difficult OF management, and would
include the soft she'll season
While would not "slay the goose that
lays the golden egg" would try to
manage so that the fisherman can, rs near
as may be. keep his cake and eat it too.

a horse belonging to Henry Boyd, was
killed by bull, the property of VIM Bur-
ton, of Coolspring, Mercer county. one day
last week. Boyd had tied his horse to a
post, and was engaged with Mr.. Burton and
his son in weighing some cattle, when the
bull jumped from the field, attacked the
horse, and before he could be driven away,
wounded him SO that he died in a short
time.
A man by the name of Van Horn and his
son, living near Newtonville, Clermont
county, Ohio, while on their way home on
Friday night a week, were stopped and
robbed. After they had delivered their
money, &c, to the robbers, the elder Van
Horn died, which must have been caused
by the shock, as a careful investigation
showed no marks OF violence that would
cause death.

him several times on the back OF tho head,

would prove fatal. Papenfuse was carried
home insensible, but the next day he was
better and will recover. Boehm was ar

visited all OF the saloons, and upon enter

the chaplain would call for signers, after
which they would all take drink, singing,
sOh, how I love Jesus and then join in
prayer. Ths shocking ulOckery ended in a

A GRANGE BURIAL.

ho,r The Order Put fury their Derd.
The first burial of a member Of the
Patrons Of Husbandry with the honors
Of the Order that has come to our no.
tice, tock place the other day in Kick
apoo, Kansas, when the remains OF
Henry Bolin we're consigned to their
last resting place with all the pomp and
funeral pagean, of tae Granger burial
service. Mr.. Bolin was a prominent
member, and the attendance was very
large, some 400 persons being present.
The programme of the burial va. about
as follows:
On leaving the residence Of the de-
ceased, the hearse which contained the
remains was flanked on either side by
three pall-bearers, who walked With un-
covered heads aud regalias draped in
mourning. Following the hearse came
the relations of the deceased, and next
marched the Sisters of the Order, clad
in full rega!ia. The Brothers came
next, and following them the vast con-
course Of people, who had come from
far aud near to witness the ceremonies.
The remains we're FIRST taken to the
church, where priest went through a
service peculiar TO the Catholic hurch,
Of which the deceased was . member.
When the exercises here had been con-
cluded, the procession took up Its march
for the cemetery, where the granger
funeral rites we're performed. The cOf-
fin was placed On supports directly over
the open grave, aud remained there till
the impressive and interesting service
was concluded e. B. Coffin, Master
of the Franklin Grange, conducted the
ceremonies.
When the brothers and sisters Of the
Grange, of which the deceased was .
member, had assembled about the grave,
the Master read . selection from the
burial ritual, followed by 8 second Sc
lection by the Chaplain, and then the
members repeated slowly and solemniy
the Lerd's prayer, closing with beau
tful and appropriate hymn. The
brothers of the Order then stepped to
the grave and threw isto the opening
several bouquets Of flowers and ever
green's A short but powerful address
was next delivered by the Chaplain.-
While the cofin was being lowered, q
beautiful and sopl-inspiring hymn was
sung, aud during the singing the sisters
showered bouquets of flowers upon the
descending coffin until it reached the
wooden box at the bottom Of the grave.
The Master then spTinkled a portion Of
dirt thrown from the grave over the
coffin, and the service closed with the
solemn benediction of the Chaplain.
Taken throughout, the ceremonies are
very beautiful and impressive Vest

The Women,s Crusade.

The question whether the women are
right or wrong in the new temperance
movement is not very important along
side of the more vital question, Shall
not not The liquor traffic be put down 2
Let no man east the first stone ustil he
can show that he is earnestly at work
to eniighten or remove the greatest
curse on the western continent. Objec-
tions as to the mode are generally ar
rested by the question, What are you
doing for the prevention Of misery to
so many victims of the liquor traffic ?
lntemperance, as fed by cur customs
and inadequate legislation, is an extra
ordinary evil, moBstrous and abnormal,
and what wonder is it, if common
means failing, it should be met with
extraordinary methods As for wo-
mans agency, if man viii not speak
and act for her, as the chief sufferer
from the traffic, let US at least have the
manliness to le; her speak and act for
herself
There is in this movement something
like the womauly daring, desperation
and seIf-forgetfulness with which one
rushes into burning house to save her
child or husband, and we predict that
the spectacle will have the effect Of
shaming the men into some action that
will be more to the purpose. Hereto
fore we have trifled with the monster
evil as if there were nothing real about
it. 1t is to be hoped that the sight of
so many "terribly in earnest" will lead
the minds of citizens and legislators to
a better apprehension of the situation.

William Cottle, who lives on a farm in
Mercer county, married thereabonts some
years since, and all was serene about his
fireside until one day last week, when the
good wife found marriage certificate in the
husbands trunk, which aroused her suspi-
cions, and upon making more diIigent search
found otter evidence which would seem to
warrant her sueing for separation. Accord
ingly, she appeared before EsquiFe Buck
and made information charging him with
bigamy Cottle has been arrested, and il is
now charged that his name is not only VIII
liam Cottle, but William Frost, Oran Frost
and William Croll. which would seem TO be
enough ntmes for any one man 10 do susi-
ness under, but then it is furtner alleged
that William has two wives in York State,
one in Ohio and one in Pennsylvania.
