The Prince Edward Clerk.

Hon. p. W. Mckinney, of Farmville,
has written to the Committee of lnves-
tigation saying that Mr.. Hooper, clerk
of the Prince Edward Court, has re-
turned home after two months alb
sence in the West, and asks for him
some little time to make his answers to
the committees interrogatories.
Mr.. Hooper owes the State, apparent
ly, for five or six years, during which
time it is supposed that, like most of the
other clerks. he collected considerable
sums of money for poll-taxes.
No doubt the committee will give Mr..
Hooper a reasonable time to report
what he owes.

Rabbit Chasing in Oregon.

Some weeks since CON muniCation
was received by the Oregonian, inquir
ing as to whether there was any kind of
tree which the rabbits of Eastern Oregon
would not cat. The question was thought
to be silly one at the time, but subse-
qnent investigation shows that it is one
of considerable Importance. During a
flying trip to Eastern Oregon few days
since, an Oregonian reporter learned that
the young trees set out on timber culture
claims had been greatly injured last
winter by rabbits, which, when the
ground Is covered with snow, 90 for
everything in the shape of vegetation
which rises above it. He also learned
that no known species of tree is safe
from their attacks. Perhaps the deadly
upas tree might knock them silly if not,
an iron tree is the only recourse. 1t will
not make excellent iircwood when grown,
but will make excellent fence posts. The
rabbits have increased in numbers of late
years, owing to the destruction of their
enemies, the coyotes, which have been
poisoned of by sheep men, and they are be-
coming a nuisance. AS the country be-
comes settled they will gradually disap-
pear, for although no dog can catch a
whiskcred fan-tailed jack rabbit, yet
dogs soon learn the coyotes trick, and
one viii chase after the rabbit while an
other, who has found out that the 10 ng-
cared animal always comes back to the
place from which he started, lies in wait,
and as the painting and tired rabbit ne ars
the home base he pounces out upon him
and gathers him in. One rancher has a
shrewd old shepherd dog which man
ages to catch rabbits without assistance.
When he first starts the rabbit he rushes
furiously after it for a short distance.
The rabbit lights out for ten-milc run,
and finally lnds his way home rather
tired. Next day the dog starts the rab-
bit again and races him far enough to
warm him up, and he does his REGULAR
round again, and comes home COM
plctcly bunged up. The next day the
dog goes out, and when the rabbit hob
bes oil he puts in his best licks and soon
captures his prey.-Portland Oregoniaa.
