Notes Mt the Capitol.


A FARMERS meeting was held at the State
House Monday evening.
A RESOLUTION looking to final adjournment on
the DIST has been introduced-but not yet adopted.
ONE gentlemans speech on the great dog ques-
ton was very much like dog decapitated " at
both extremities.
Mn REpiNGToN wisely decided to have his bill
for license law receive a proper burial, and
moved that the whole matter be laid on the table
. Peace to its ashes
WAS it not rather hard on Orleans county for
the gentleman from Halifax To advise them to
import few from the southern section of the
state so as to secure the execution of whole
some laws?
WE have observed that much hostility to the
Board of Agriculture comes from towns along or
near the Canadian border This feeling is not in
spired by something struggled "across the
line, is it?
Mn. ELY-GopDARD made happy hit when he
suggested that dogs be furnished the people of
| the state by "a duly authorized town agent, who
could give certificates of good moral character to
each animal.
As THE session lengthens we hear less said
about Sl2j per session for the members pay, and
genial Bradley Snalley's proposition Of 500 has
passed from sight and memory Of even the most
enthusiastic reformer.
The House did good deal of refusing Thurs
day morning, and while its hand was in it put Il
quietus on the bill 10 abolish capital punishment
refusing it third reading by vote Of one
hundred and fifty-seven to twenty-six.
"IIAvE dumb animals sprits?' said one philo-
sophcal member to another yesterday forenoon.
"ies, sir, was the emphatical reply did you
not hear the desk-ds rattle while the dog ques-
ton was being discussed, and how could you ac-
count for it only the suppostion that the spir-
its Of departed dogs thus manifested their dis
pleasnre?'

ton to the advertisement Books for Every
Household " in another column. The Family
Library Of British Poetry " is rough volume
containing as much as twelve ordinary books,
and crowdng into its thousand large pages the
best poetry ever written in the British islands
Twelve fine portraits add much to the value Of
this rich book. For children it would be difficult
to find two more entertaining, handsome OF

and " Play Days" These books are peculiarly
available for holiday and birthday gifts.

CHCKERISG." With hosts and swarms OF
admirers this famous piano-whch has been be-
fore the public for more than a half of century,
and whose number now approaches sixty thou
sand-occupying such an enyiable position that
an individual endorsement would have but little
weight in deciding its merit, and which has so
noby stood the test for so many years-it is not
strange that when merit and price are considered,
it is universally conceded the very best invest
ment. We learn that during the past year the
demand has been so large the manufacturers have
been obliged to increase their facilities 1t is also
really true that at the low prices for which these
instruments can now be procured, none, however
limited their means, need defer their purchases
longer. 1t will be remembered that Mr.. G. W
Wilder Is agent for the Chickerng, as also the
Stenway and Ilaines pianos and these will well
repay an examination.

SQUIRREL HUNT.--A number of the men of
East Barre INDUCED in squirrel hunt on the
26th ult., taking sides, and choosing as captains
OF the two companies, containing seven men each,
William Carnes and William Nye. The result of
the hunt, figured by John Roys, was as fol-
lows:--Carnes' men killed three grey squirrels,
thrty-eight red squirrels, two flying squirrels one
striped squirrel, six skunks, three rabbits three
partridges, and one odpecker-which scored
thirteen hundred and ten. Nye's men killed
twenty-nine red squirrels, five muskrats, one
woodchuck, two cartridges, five woodpeckers,
two owls, three rabbits, and one run-around-
which scored eleven hundred and eighty. Thus
Carnes' men came off conquerors by one hundred
and thirty majority. After the hunt the COM
pany went to Ira Hutchinson's and sat down to a
supper of oysters, beefsteak, biscuits and pie, for
which Nye and his company willingly paid. They
then challenged Carnes and his men to another
hunt. The merry company then retired to their
homes wishing Mr. Hutchinson and his worthy
wife an abundance Of good luck and prosperity
for the excellent entertainment offered them.
