WEST VIRGINIA had become too un.
comfortably close State politically to
suit the Democrats and so In order to
stem the tide Of growing Republioanism
in that State, the Bourbons burned the
office of the Reporter, q Republican pa.

porter did much to increase the Re-
Publican vote in this section and II

An Eight Hour skate.

There was an eight hour skating contest at
the Bangor rink on Wednesday evening.
Thirteen appeared ON the track arrayed in
costume appropriate to. such an occasion
and wearing their respective number in large
figures on the breast The contest proved
one of intense interest ana the record made
by several of the skaters is really extraord-
mary. The struggle was fiercely contested
and 1t was by no means a walk over" for
any one. Five of the contestants were Oldtow n
Indians. Peter Neptune, OF Oldtown took
the lead and made the first mile
in minutes aud IS seconds. Oclar
Newell, of Oidtown, won the first prize
OF $50 and made the handsome record of IS
miles and IL LAYS. Soreus Nelson, of Old

laps, and winning $40. Charles Francis, of
Oldtown, won third mony (s5), with a score
of 81 miles and laps. X. Gordon, lad

There are probably no laws on the statute
book in relation to any one important sub
iect of which many citizens are so ignorant,
as the laws touching the capture of fresh wa
ter fish. Many amusing Misunderstanding
and wrong constructions of the law occur.
Recently an Augusta gentleman while stop
ping in the city of Auburn. went to q neigh
boring pond after pickerel He caught a
fine string of the fish and also a number of
large black bass. He supposed there was .
close time for the latter fish and secreted
them with great care from the scrutiny of
strangers. On arriving at his home in Au-
Husta. while talking with . friend, he
learned to his surprise that there
vas no close time against this fish and
tina, he had taken all his pains for nothing.
The close time for black bass and white
perch commences the first day of next April
and is of the first day of July. There is a
close time for trout extending to the first of
May, when it expires. Meanwhile citizen
can take trout snd carry them to his own
house for consumption, but cannot lawfully
sell or expose them for sale.
