Deer-sIaughter in the Adirondacks.

The Utica Herald says; Compliant is
made, and with good reason, of the unneces-
sary slaughter of deer on Moose river in the
Adirondack wilderness. It is reported on
good authority that last week there were two
parties of hunters on the Moose river, one
Mailing from Holland Patent, and the other
from Utica. Each party killed six deer
which is more venison than they could eat or
carry out of the woods, and n number of the
animals were left on the ground to rot. If
hunters desire to slaughter deer in this way,
they can do so, as this is the deer hunting
season. Although the letter Of the law does
not prohibit such unnecessary slaughter, the
spirit of it certainly does, The man who
shoots more game or catches more fish than
he can make use of, IS not n sportsman in
any sense OF the word Societies for the
protection of fish and game are organized for
the express purpose of preventing anything
of this kind, and these cases will probably be
brought to the notice of the Utica society.

In Defence of Judge ROycc-ylis Tax
Record.

Mr.. Burke eloqucntly reviewed Judge
Roycc's life and services and eulogized his
legal abilities, his worth to the State and the
dangerous precedent which would be set if
he were uut of the bench without just cause,
IN the prime of life aud when his learning
aud brains were more needed than ever before
Judge Thompson Of lrasburgh tloll up the
cudgcls with Col Walker, and made the lead
ing speech for Judge Royce. lie first direct
ed attention TO the history Of the law aud the
debate at the last session, pendiug its passage.
He reminded the members that it had then
been expressly declared by the friends of the
bllfthat the taxpayers should have the hon
orahlc alternative of paying double taxes
in case they should not choose to make
out list. That man failed to make an in
ventory was of itself not necessarily fraud
upon the community; il denended upon his
motives and upon the nature of his acts. II
he wilfully concealed his property and put
it out of the power Of the listers TO find it and
obtain anything upon which 10 base an ap-
praisa, then 1t WAS II fraud but Judge
Royce had done no such thing. lie had
| frankly told the listers that lie WAS in such Il
| position in regard TO certain trust that he
could not make return without violating an
obligation incurred years ago. on account OF
them to put him into the list for an amount
larger than he would have to pay if he la /
made an inventory, and in the other towns
where he was taxed on real estate he had
made an inventory
Judge Thompson argued that such II course
was moi tax dodglnr, that it was n case which
the makers of the law had admitted might
exist before the law was passed, aud that in
Judge Roycc's peculiar circumstances he had
done only what every honorable man should
do and ought to do. He had done his duty
to the State, aud his whole duty, and hi
deserved praise for his coursc rather than
blame. 1t was nonsense TO say that Judge
Royce's course would make the law inellec.
tual-had he not observed the law! lie had
paid his taxes without gu slon, to M
amount which fully satisfied the listers aftcl
II personal investigation, in which they were
aided by him. lie did not contest the law
he did not deny its constitutionality h'
oheyed it ike good citizen aud the law wa'
in no danger OF nu!lifca,ionby any act of his
MS citizen or judge.

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1882-10-27

One of our best and best known
knights ofthe razor tells a curious
story, for which he vouches him
self and brings witnesses whose
word, as well as his own, cannot
be impeached. Several days ago
a man called in for a shave, and
taking his seat in the chair had
his wants duly attended to. The
operator noticed a feather stick
ing out of his beard, which was
rather we'll grown, and supposing
it had merely lodged there pro-
ceeded to pull it out. The man
stopped him, saying: Don't.
That hurts me-" He then told our
informant that ever since his
beard began to grow that feather
had had a place on his cheek, and
that pulling it out did not check
the growth, but rather increased
it. He had finally concluded to
accept it as inevitable, and ac-
cordingly never allowed it to be
pulled out. The feather was very
perfect, and about like that ordi-
narily plncked from a chickens
tail.-Omaha Bee.
