People generally do not know
much of the number of deer killed
in the undcountry. Many farmers
are ANNOYED very much by the deer
feeding on their crops in the night
time. Hunting deer on the main
land is very uncertain and diff cult
sport, as the country is too much OBJ
structed by fallen timber and under
brush to be easily travelled over.
BY discovering the feeding grounds
and runways OF the deer, persons can
sometimes capture them by lying in
wait or still hunting at daybreall, they
usually being secreted during the
greater portion of the day. The
most common way of hunting deer
is by putting dogs on their track,
when they usually take to the water
after short run. The hunters fol-
low in boats, and easily secure the
animal. Deer sometimes sink be-
meath the water when shot; to prevent
this accident rope is usually thrown
over the head.
On many Of the Islands in the
Sound deer are so numerous that
they annually destroy a large amount
of farm produce. In such localities
the farmers can get supply of VEN
iSon at almost any time. Still hunt
ING is generally practised. a plan
followed by some is for two persons
to 90 out in the night time, one with
a lantern and the other with gun.
andproceed to a turnip patch, meadow,
orsome other place usually trequented
by the deer in the night time. The
man with the lantern places the
light on his head and advances. Pres
entity the stamp of a boot is heard,
and directly pair of shining eye
balls are seen glittering at the Ian
tern. The deer is SO attracted by the
light that the man with the gun can
approach almost within reach of it,
and make sure of his aim. If there
are other deer near these do not usu-
ally run away at the report of a gun,
but approach the light and await
their turn to be shot.
But few have any definite idea of
the number of deer killed each year
in the counties bordering on the
Sound. Il is said that not less than
500 deer skin, each month are ship
ped from the Sound, which gives the
yearly export the astonishing sum
of 5000. This figure, large as it is,
does not represent the total number
of deer killed, as many of the skins
are tanned and used by the Indians.
andsomeareu used and Others destroyed
in various Why's, by the white hunters
The figures given above are not ac-
curate, but serve to aid in forming
an idea of the number of deer killed
yearly.

\ Fulton, New York man, laid
his finger on the table in front of a
buzz saw to feel the momentum of
air. The saw was going so fast that
the teeth were not to be seen. His
finger was taken off. When he was
looking at it the foreman came up
with the question: Glow did you
do it?' "Why, | put my finger down
so, answered he, placing the other
fore finger, as he thought, well away
from the teeth To his horror, the
saw took that one, too, clean off at
the second joint.

pies, demands, among other things
~ investigation of frauds committed
at the last presidential election in
Florida and Louisiana, which should
have been made by the Electoral
Commission. Its refusal to do so
was a violation of the spirit Of the
law under which it was organized,
and a gross outrage upon the peo-
pie Of the United States; and while
the decision, as made by the Forty
fourth Congress, of the question as
towho should be declared President
of the United States for the present
presidential term, was In our judg-
ment final, that decision ought not

The Ackaen Resser Scandal.


Shortly before the adjournment
of Congress, Gen. Rosser, while
dining at fashionable restaurant
in Washington City, hearing the
voice of lady, apparently in dis
tr,ess, in an adjoining room, forced
the door. and assaulted a gentle
man whom he supposed had offered
the lady some indignity. The affair
got into the papers; the gentleman
assaulted by Gen. Bosser being
spoken of as Tennessee Congress
man. Congress adjourned, and
Hon. j. H. Acklen had almost
reached New Orleans when a friend
on the cars handed him daily pa
per, in which Acklen was made to
appear asthe Congressman assault
ed by Gen. Rosser. Acklen imne-
diately on reaching New Orleans,
photographed to Gen. Bosser, de
handing an explanation. Rosser
Immediately replied, and his reply
was published at Washington and
all over the United States, eXoner-
ating Acklen from all connection
with the affair at the Washington
restaurant. Acklen then returned
to Washington, it is said for the
purpose OF discovering and punish
ing the author OF the scandal against
him. His friends in this district
can afford to smile at this palpable
effort to defeat his denomination
for Congress.
Since writing the above we have
received late number of the GaI-
weston News, containing the fol-
lowing dispatch of June 2Sth from
Washington City:
congressman Aeklen now here, will
publish u statement tomorrow, based
upon sworn testimony and written suite
ments. concerning the recent scandal
SO widely mentioned, affecting his good
name He denounees the report as an
unmitigated lie. Hesays, after quoting
Telegram from Gen. Rosser denying
that he (Rosser) gave currency to the
report, that he can no further look to
Rosser as the author of the attack upon
him. The reports are shown to be de
MED by the brother of the lady in qr.es
ton, by Gen. Rosser, and by two wait
ers in the restaurant, who suited under
oath thut nothing coTld have occurred
