Parties have already begun to spear pick
erel, bass, and perch, on the overfiowe,l
meadows around Winthrop pond. This is n
violation of the statute, and Isaac Carr, the
fshwarden, is doing his best to stop the sport
of the law -breakers. The fish are taken by
night by the flaming light of torch, and it
is difficult to identify the depredators in the

Cadet Whitaker.

WEST PoIST, April l6. At the afternoon
session, Col. Lazells gave additional reasons
why he thought that Whitaker was sham
ming. He was strongly impressed with the
idea that the handwriting Of Whitaker,
compares closely with the handwriting in the
note of warning. The finding Of a necktie.
was, he thought, against Whitaker. because
no person, in civilians dress, would have
brought it there.

Outside the fat meadow lands Of the Con-

better farms in New England than up and
down the kennebec river. There are not on
y good farms but good farmers. Lately
there has been some fine importations OF
stock from abroad. A gentleman, in speak

into the country for Hon. j. Il. Bodwell OF
hallowell said to us: eff Mr.. Bodweli had
applied the money which he paid for his I'M
proved stock to the payment of the state
debt, he would not have benefited Maine so
much as he has done by purchasing that herd
Of cattle" Last Saturday night Mr.. Hall

rom Europe, where he has been tor the pur-
pose of selecting stock. Much of the time
mas been spent in England examining amer

and some Shropshire sheep.

WHILE we are not disposed TO indulge
in any brag about IIancock's election, it
is due to our re aders, as Il matter of po-
litical news, to state that in the iudg-
ment of the most reliable Democrats
in Illinois and Wisconsin, there is the
strongest reasons for believing that the
votes of those two States will be cast for
Hancock. The change to Hancock
in both. and especially among the Ger
mans, is represented as being not only
astonishing, but sufficient to warrant the
belief we have indicated. If hard and
thorough work can win success it will
be achieved y like determination to
carry Ohio animates the Democrats of
that State, and such men as Thurman,
Pendleton. Hurd, Banning, Ewing, and
scores of other leading Democrats, speak
very confidently of carrying the October
election The important fact that the
Republican ex-Lieut. Governor Muel-
Ter, of Cleveland. a week ago last night
came out for Hancock i'm a most clO-
quent speech before the German Repub-
lican Liberal Club, is a sufficient an
swer to the boast of an Ohio lunatic
who was in Johnstown last week tick
ling the ears of the Republican ground
lings of that place with the transparent
story that GaTfeld'S majority in Ohio
would be 0,O00.

THE Republican State Committee of
Arkansas met at Little Rock on yester-
day week and resolved not to put a State
ticket in the field. This is the same
game that was played by the Republi-
can State Comm ittee in Alabama, and
having thus contributed to sweeping
Democratic majority, their loyal friends
in the North at once set up the old and
stale cry of fraud and force, intimida-
tiOns, bulldOzing, shotgun policy, and
all manner of forcible and bloody meth
DDS, to account for their defeat and ex-
plain why the South is solid for Demo
cratic supremacy. The Arkansas cleo
tion will take place on Monday, the 9th
of September, and a Republican defeat
will be the certain outcome. Yet every
Republican paper at the North will re-
iterate the charge of fraud and intimi-
datiOn. attributing the result to every
cause but the true one.

TIE Bellefonte U-otchm07 gives some
very sensible advice to the Democrats
who are inclined to let their enthusiasm
run away with all their energies and in
their hurrahng forget the more essen
tial work OF organization for victory.
Under the election laws of Pennsylva-
mia, framed to prevent irregular and iilc-
gal voting, certain prerequisites are ne
ceSsary to a legal vote and he who at
tends to these faithfully and promptly
renders much more efficient service to
the party than those who get up clubs,
meetings OF poles. For example, plenty
of voters who would ''turn out" night
after night Will never think of looking
at the assessors book to see if their
names are properly registered. and the
lOudest shOuter at the meeting will ut
terly ignore his payment Ot State and
county tax, and trust TO the commit
.ee'' 10 save him from disfIanchiSement.
Enthusiasm is a good thing. We have
it and we are glad of it. But we want
solid work and that work just now con-
sists in looking after the registry of
every democratic voter. If this is not
done by Sept. 2d it cannot be done at all,
and he who does it for himself can only
he certain that it is done for him. At
tend to the registry, Democrats

TIE Independent Republicans of
James a. Garfeld's Congressional dis
trict in Ohio, at a meeting acid at War
rem on Sept. :, 1876, when he was a can
date for reelection, adopted the follow
ing among other resolutions
'Resofred, That there is no other man, to-
day, officially connected with the administra-
ton of the National Government, against
whom are justly preferred more and graver
charges OF corruption than are publicly made,
and abUndantly sustained, against James s.
Garfield, the present representative of this
Congressional District, and the nominee of
the Republican Convention for reelection. "
This is the same man whom the great
party of purity and political morality
has nominated for President, and who,
since he first entered Congress, says an
other resolution adopted at the same
meeting, "has been the ready ch ampiop
Of rings and monopolies. "

other by their gallant and courageous
bearing in efforts to pluck the wreath
of a glorious victory III November next.
/ There are thousands of honest Republi-
cans who Will not enroll themselves un-

follow the lead of men whose object is

disguised with the heresieS of the leaders
they have so long unwittingly been fol-

feel and see the necessity of Il change of

are acting with the Democratic party,
knowing that in that party Is the only

y HARMLESS Republican sheet eX-
presses the opinion that Gen. Hancock
is not as well known to the people as a
Presidential candidate should be. " II
this was even plTtially true, Hancock
has big advantage over Garfield. who,
unfortunately for himself and his party,
is entirely too well known to the people
ever to induce them to elect him to the
Presidency, Hancock, to be SO obscure
a man and so unknown to the people,
seems to be making friends with alarm
ing rapidity, and bids fair before Novem-
Der to have pretty near the whole cOun-

If we would attempt to publish every
