Successful Shooting.

A correspondent of Forest and Stream in
writing to the last number OF that paper,
speaks thus of his success in shooting in the
western part of York county, Me-, probably in
either Kittery or York: 81 have been away
two weeks shooting on the coast of Maine, and
on counting the game find tho following scores
for three guns: Two hundred and forty coots,
ty-six cartridges, fifteen black ducks, twenty
eight blue-winged teal (killed in -four, shots
only saw one flock, in which were between
forty and fifty) four peach-crates of sand birds,
and one hundred and nine yellow-legs and
in twelve miles of Portsmouth N. H., at a
place 1 discovered about eight years ago Our
house faces two large ponds and a marsh One
hundred yards from the marsh is a beach, and
three hundred yards back of the house is the
best nartrdge ground in Maine."

Maine Business Prospects.

Mr. Jas. f. Hirst, at his new mill in Sabat-
tus, is manufacturing superior wooden yarn
in all fancy colors. He at present employs
about twelve hands, and look into his drying
yard will repay any one interested.
The Oxford Democrat says that stock is
selling readily and at much more satisfactory
prices than for few years past. A Mason
farmer had pair of steers that cost him fifty
dollars last fall, which he worked last fall
and winter and sold this fall for one hundred
dollars.
d. f. Littlefield of Saco has received an or
der from Latham, the great London packer,
for thirty tons of evaporated apples. Mr.. Lit
tlefelds establishment is the only one OF the
kind in the world, and is doing a large and
constantly increasing business.
The Wing says many OF the Winn lumber
men are now going into the woods for their
winter operations.
The Calais Times says wheat may be now
regarded as one of the most reliable crops OF
Washington county. While cold SUI miner
has caused partial failure of many crops,
wheat has done finely. Yields as high as AZ
bushels to the acre are reported; and the av,
erage yield is far ahead of anything recorded
or expected in the West, where 20 bushels an
acre is regarded as a fine yield.

Mayor Walker has not yet approved the Or
der approprating $1,000 for the extension OF
the Congress street line of the horse railroad
to the West End. 1t is reported that the Or
dinances of the city require all money received
from the sale of city lands to be paid into the
sinking fund; and therefore appropriating
$1,000, received from the sale of these city lots
to the above purpose would be illegal. The
City Solicitor is looking the matter UP.

Escape of Maine Murderer from the
New York State Prison.

Our dispatches yesterday mentioned the es-
cape of John w. Wright, formerly Of Indian
River, Washington County, in this State, from
the New York State prison at Auburn. The
following additional particulars have been re-
ceived: For some days past Wright with a
gang of five other convicts under keeper,
has been putting a tin roof on the hospital
building. They were taken up through dark
garnet, and the roof was reached through. a
scuttle. Last night after work, when the
gang passed the guard at the keepers. hall, 1t
was found that Wright was missing and his
discarded prison clothes were found in the at
tic. Search was made and a reporter noticed
muddy water and debris issuing from the
mouth of sewer leading from the prison, and
which discharged into the river near large
willow tree.
Equipped with d lantern a man entered at
the State street conduit, and in half an hour
returned heels first dragging Wright after him.
Wright says that he eluded the keeper in the
dark garnet, removed his clothes, mounted the
roof, from which he dropped to a platform
twenty feet below, scaled a wall, and got into
the branches Of the willow tree, whence he
Jumped into the river and entered the sewer.
He was clad in white shirt and overalls and
was covered with mud. He is in close confine-

Rnxton and Hollis Fair

The second day of the fair was more fully
attended than the opening day, three thousand
tickets being taken at the grounds and hall.
Among the noticeable features was the exhi-
bition of ladies' manufactures in the hail.
Everything was new and nice, not an article
having been exhibited at any previous exhibit
ton.
An ''old folks concert was held in the hall
in the afternoon, which was very much en-
loved. Mr.. j. H. Bradbury of Tufts, 10, read
several selections finely, followed by duet by
the Deering sisters, and solos by Misses Han
son and Bradbury.
The only thing to mar the interest was an
unusual amount of liquor on sale about inc
grounds. Two parties were arrested and trlea
for selling it. They were fined and sent up
for sixty days, but escaped from the officers
and disappeared in the following manner:
While the officers had the parties in charge III

officers to step Down and get him piece OIL
