Shooting in the Suburbs on Private
Grounds.

Residents of Deering and owners of proper
ty there have been greatly annoyed of late by
persons shooting upon their premises, and
have determined to put stop to it. One
man was arrested for shooting on the Forest
Home estate the other day and the names of
several others obtained against whom the law
will be enforced. People have no right to
shoot squirrels, birds or other animals upon
private grounds and are liable to arrest if
found with fire arms in their possession on an
other mans grounds.

WEST CUMBERLAND FAIR.
Closing Day of an Excellent Exhibitio

Closing Day of an Excellent Exhibition.
| The last day of the West Cumberland Fair
was more successful if anything than the first.
The same pleasant weather prevailed and with
the exception of raw wind in the morning
was all that could be asked. Perfect order
was maintained and we doubt if better ma
| tured crowd of 1000 persons could be found
! A large number from Portland were present
called there probably by the thoughts of the
| good dinner that would be served them, and if
| so they were not disappointed
| One of the attractions of the morning was
the plowing match which tool place in field
| adjoing the fair grounds. Only two entries
were made, the Wiona plow, manufactured by
| the Wiona Plow Co.. Batavia, N Y, and en-
tered by Geo. Blanchard & Bro, and the
| Syracuse Chilled Plow manufactured by the
| S, G. Plow Co., Syracuse, N. Y, and entered
| by Kendall & Whitney. No premiums were
| offered, but the committee made special
mention of the Syracuse plow as first, and the
Maine plow second
Geo. Blanchard & Co. exhibited their new
| sulky plow attachment which enables the
L.
sitting in his kitchen chair.
| The exhibits in the hall attracted the usual
| attention and we noticed several articles
among them that deserve more than ordinary
| mention. Among them was set of china and
| glass ware 125 years old exhibited by Mrs.
| Chas. Mitchell, fret-work clock manufacture
| ed by Mr.. Rot ert Brown, and others which we
| have not space to mention.
| The drawing match took place at $50 a. m.
| and proved to be an interesting exhibition. 1t
was divided into three classes; the first oxen
less than feet grth, the second more than
| and less than d, For the first class the drag
| weighed 1900 pounds for the second 5,O91 and
| for the third 7,143. The distance pulled by
| each yoke is as follows:
First class-Wm Merrill, Cumberland, 8 years
| old, grth ft. in, pulled ~ it. 8 in.

could be found to compete with them.

For good or i'll the Republican
party has seen, probably for the
last time, its party in majority
In the House Of Representatives of
the United States. Every one re-
calls the specially infamous cir.
cumstances which attended the
Republican loss of the more numer-
GUS branch of Congress. The back
pay and Credit Mobilier infamies
converted u House Of Representa-.
tives three-fourths Republican into
a body nearly two-thirds Demo-
cratic. There was spectacular
and sensational infamy attending
every phase OF the change, result
ing in the celebrated "tidal waven
movement of 1874. For six years
since the lower house has been
steadily Democratic; with, latter
ly, an addition of the United States
Senate. We have no manner Of
doubt but that the next House Of
Representatives will be Dem ocratic
by at least twenty more majority
than the present; and, very likely,
this figure will be very much In
crs ased. How Republicans can
cht rish saaguine hopes, in view of
the black outlook to them of the
Congressional situation, puzzles US
inexpressibly. Through the magic
lantern of hope they may be able
to throw . little light on q very
dismal silhouette, but the scant IL
Illumination will not endure beyond
the fall elections. President Han.
cock will begin his administration
with very large majority in both
houses of Congress; and this salu.
tary Democratic fashion is likely
to continue to the end of the CEN
tury.

AND now comes along President
Hayes, and confirms Gen. Walkers
statement that there is no reason
to doubt the absolute accuracy of
the census of South Carolina, and
of the other Southern States. What
q pitiful howl this census outcry
has been? How ungerous and vilsly
partizan? We should prefer to
break stones on the highway to
make living, rather than lend
ourself to this unholy and cowardly
prescription of a section which has
borne the cross so long. The real
census outrage, as We pointed out
in commenting upon a ferocious
article in the Chronicle, a couple
Of weeks ago, lies in tine unfair
Southern enumeration in the GEN.
sus of 1870. The scallawag and car
pet-tag constituency of the Repub-
lican party, in that section, in that
year, were anxious, at any sacrifice
of truth and decency, to report the
South low enough to make its Con-
gressional representation inconsid.

IT was Garfield who, in a speech
delivered about year ago, pre-
pared his fellow partizans for q
census enumeration of the South
which would much reduce the rep
resentation of that section in Con-
gress. He dwelt upon the fact that
the Republican party had only to
elect Charley Foster Governor OF
Ohio, and then to win the Presi-
dental election, and everything
would be secure forever. For an
indefinite time thereafter. the Re.
publican party would, according to
the gospel of Garfield, revel in the
enjoyment Of the enormous reve.
pues of the government, and the
North could be kept solid In the
interest of the Republican party.
This was really an ecstatic pros
p.ct, such as was calculated to en-.
thuse the mind Of the ordinary
place hunter. But the Republican
enumerators of the census have
failed to act upon Garfield's too
transparent hint. They have
given the South, Republicans az
they are, an honest census; and
that section, relatively to New
England, at least, more than holds
its own. In fact, it suffers very
little by comparison with any re.
gion of the United States, an event
which everybody, who is not q
blind partizan, will hail with
pleasure.

Of the Court of Appeals. and Kelly
has simply signified, in advance,
that Tammany will abide by the
action Of the regular Democracy,
thus crushing out the last hopes of
our opponents of dissension in the
New York Democracy. AS Roscoe
Conkling said, the other day, it
will not do fo- the Republicans to
be exultant tbecause the Democracy
are and will be united in the EN-.
pire State, on the 2nd of next

means that the thirty.five electoral
