At the New York poultry show, recently,
there were about 1900 different specimens of
fowls. The variety of breeds was something
surprising. They exhibited among them
every quality for which fowls are bred
within the range of fighting, use and orna-
ment. The remarkable combs, topknots,
spurs, colors and weight showed the wonder
full range and variations of which poultry
breeding is susceptible. Below, by way Of
a curiosity, we give an illustration of one of
the fancy fowls seen at this fanciers' club
show. The bird belongs to a japanese
variety lately introduced into the country.

Eraternitv prinnarv-

The good influence which the Portland Frater-
nifty exerts over our young people is generally un-
derstood and appreciated. Hundreds of boys
have been saved from the temptations of the
streets by its attractive amusement rooms,
library and gymnasium. Many men now holding
responsible positions in Portland owe their sue
cess in life to the opportunities for study offered
them by the Fraternity
But there is a large class of boys in our city
who by the time they are old enough to enter the
Fraternity, have become too demoralized by their
life on the streets to care for its privileges. If
these boys are to be saved it must be by bringing
them under good influences before their charac-
ters have become crystaized. There is little hope
of reforming big boy, but there is a fair chance
of saving small one and this is the work which
the Fraternity Primary is trying to do, and it is
work which should appeal to the heart and purse
of every one whose SympatheS are not limited to
the circle OF his immediate family and friends.
There is no trouble in getting at the boys; they
are eager enough, poor little souls, to come out OF
the cold streets into our warm pleasant rooms.
But there is difficulty in obtaining money to carry
on the work, and the appeal for new and increased
subscriptions is therefore most urgent.
The Fraternity also earnestly asks for games
and story books-for bright pictures and mOtt0s
to give a homelike look to our rooms, and for
scarfs and mttens.
Ii our friends will come down to the Fraternity
some of these cold nights before the doors are
opened and see the shivering little fellows in
their thin Jackets, with their bare hands blue and
chapped with the cold, waiting to be let in this

Disappears.

PRovINcETowN, Nov. 2S.-Engineer Nickerson
is inspecting the ravages made by the last storm
along the back side of the Cape. In some places
great slices of the shore from two to three hum
dred feet long and thirty feet wide have disappear
ed beneath the waves. The patrolmen say the
work of the surf is most apparent near Peaked
Hills When High Head Life Station was built
two years ago hill nearly forty feet high inter-
vened between ii and the sea- Now all has been
leveled by wind and waves, and at high water on
Thursday the station house was surrounded by
water and the fresh water well was filled with
brine. South of the station a deep gully has been
washed. necessitating an extra half mile walk for
the surfmen on patrol duty.
the storma good roadway led down to the surf,
now intervenes a bluff 15 feet high. The whole
beach line has changed very much in the past two
years. and it is estimated that between 80 and 40
feet of the entire beach has disappeared beneath
the sea the last two years.
In the harbor things remain practically uu-
changed, except the washing away of House
Point Island, small island in the cove formerly
great resort of picnic parties. 1t disappeared EN-
tirely Monday night. Long Point remains intact
The storm also caused considerable damage to
the Chatham beach, sections of which are now
entirely submerged at half tide. 1t has been the
most severe gale in this vicinity for a long time.

printers, have circulated forged S5 bills Of the
Bank of British North America all over this PROV

have escaped loss, but the country dealers and
farmers have been defrauded to large amounts as
learned by hundreds of dollars of counterfeit bills
coming here to be deposited An attempt of
similar kind was tried in Ontario two years ago,
and it is considered that the present cOunterfeits
are from the same block. The imitation is defec-

likeness being imperfect. Two dollar Dominion

Iti evident that the Fogg divorce suit
which was partially tried at the last term of
court in Somerset county isn't over yet.
This was the case where diary was pro-
duced and caused such a CONSERVATION that
the case was dropped. Last Saturday Mr..
Fogg returned from New York and went to
the farm where his wife lives, and after a
lively encounter took his 12-year-old daugh-
ter away from her mother. Mrs Fogg and
her mother then went before justice of
the peace and sued out a warrant for as
sault and battery against Mr.. Fogg. Sheriff
Vaughan was sent for and served it at 10
o'clock at night on the respondent who was
in bed. Then a dispute arose between the
officer and his prisoner about the disposition
of the daughter. Finally William Folsom
went bail for Mr.. Fogg. Mr.. Fogg came be-
fore Judge Bacheller Monday morning, for
his trial, but his case was postponed much
against his wish until Saturday. Mr..
Fogg is to proceed against Sheriff Vaughan
