A CROW STORY.

The smartest crow on record is own
ed by an East st. Johnsbury man and
has already figured in these columns
as brilliant cOnversatiOnalist. Now
he, the crow, not the man, comes to the
front as the wickedest of thieves. His
owner was visited by worthy neigh
Dor the other day, who declared that
her set of false teeth were missing and
she had good reason for believing that
the crow had entered her room through
the window and taken them. A search
soon discovered the crow in tree with
the teeth in his mouth. A vigorous
| clubbing drove the thief to the top of
the barn where he cOntrived to balance
few to a ghboring tree-top watch
ing, meanwhile, the efforts of the peO-
pie by the means of ladders, ETC., to re-
| gain the property. But this isn't the
whole of the story. A few days after
the owner of this wicked but sagacious
crow went into the field to work, TAX
lug out his false teeth for comforts
sake and, remembering recent expe-
riences, taking care to put them out of
sight in his vest, which he laid on the
ground near by. Shortly after the
crow was seen in that vicinity and in
quicker time than it takes to tell it was
in the air with his owners teeth. The
bird was driven to tree and then took
refuge on rock in the middle of the
river, afterward returning to the tree
and then again to the river as he was
followed back and forth and finally
dropped the teeth into the water. AT
ter all these untOward experiences the
owner in disgust agreed to sell the
crow to a neighbor, and while the trade
was being made took down his gun to
occupy the time and cleaned it. Evil
IDENTIFY the bird was conscience strick-
en-, somehow associated the stealing
with the gun and departed, neither the
old owner nor the new purchaser hav-
ing seen the fellow since. 1t is ex-
pected that the readers of the Caledo-
MAN will accept this story as one of ac-
tual experience without further proof
as the crow is missing and cannot be
brought up as a witness.

Barbed Fencing.


j. S. Sanborn's driving horse was
badly mangled on barbed wire fencing
at North Danville Sunday night. The
horse became frightened by the thun-
der storm and ran against the cruel
barbs. A short time ago one of Simeon
Belknap's horses ran out of the yard
against the barbed wire fence of B. B.
Clarke, cutting himself savagely. 1t
seems as though there should be law
against using this cruel fencing mate

Change of Time.

Change OF Time.
The New York express train will be
cancelled Saturday, Oct. 2. The fore
noon accommodation train from the
Junction will be changed to a mixed
train, passing this place north at III AZ
a. M, or about half hour later than
summer time. There are no changes
of time in either the mail or the air
line express trains.
The morning train from Hyde Park
over the Lake road reaches this place
on and after next Monday at 8.55 a. M,
instead of $50, and passes stations
west of this place over half an hour
earlier than present time.
Electric Train Signal.
The Passumpsic railroad has fitted
up all the trains, both night and day,
of the Air line between Boston and
Montreal with the Judkins electric
railway signal. This is a continuance
for signaling the engine by the con-
ductOr, and does away with the bell
cord which is so liable to get tangled
or broken and thus become useless OF
confusing. If the signal works salts
factorily on these trains it will doubt
less be attached to the local trains also
The Passumpsic road intends to keep
up with the procession in all impor-
tant improvements.

The Proposed Temperance Convention.

To the Editor of the indianapolis journal
A State convention of temperance Republicans
is good idea, and if the convention itself is
characterized by the fraternal spirit shown in
the call, published in yesterdays Journal. it will
be of advantage TO temperance reform in, at
least, two ways. In the first place, the free dis
cussion of the temperance question by its
friends will serve to show them what is the
best method of fighting the liquor traffic. The
plan which the convention may adopt cannot be
foretod with certainty, but tits foreshadowed in
that part of the call which says:
1--WE demand the total suppression of the traf
fic in liquor a beverage by State action, and
pending this ultimate contamination, recog
nize the right of the people in their respective
counties. to deal with the question under the
principle of local option, for suppressing the
traffic in their midst and each county should
have the right by ballot to determine this for
the traffic it should be compelled to bear the
burdens it imposes upon society,"
A high license law with local-option clause.
and State prohibition when it shall have become
practical, is not bad platform.
OF still more importance will be tho discussion
of the question, "How can we get this platform
adopted by the people of the StateW We trust
that this discussion will show to many the mis-
takes which they making, so that their
tions in the future may not be hindrance, but
a benefit, to the cause of temperance. The plan
which seems best to those who signed the call is
shown by the statements, that the convention is
mot partisan movement" and that they be-
lieve that Temperance reform, like all other
moral reforms, must be advanced, If at all,
through nom partisan action" The signers of
the calla do not intend, however, to foist this
plan upon the convention, for they say, 'If our
political brethren differ from US in their plans
and methods of accomplishing this reform, it is
an honest difference" and they go on to say
that they desire discussion that they may dis
cover what plan is best This convention is q
move in the right direction, for which reason it
will now be in order for some third-party hyp-
ocrite to denounce it. k x.

taken at o'clock of Friday, the Goth. The in
tervening twenty seven hours were taken up in
debate upon the bill
Meanwhile Judge Davis was asked whether
his election as Senator would deter him from
assuming the responsibility if chosen one of the
Electoral Commission. The answer was such as
TO satisfy the Democrats. Had it been otherwise,
the Electoral commission bill never would have
passed the House. Why should the leading
Democrats who were then in Congress remain
under the imputation of having been fools to be
tricked, or towards TO surrender, when they had
really guarded every pointl
OF course Judge Davis had given no assurance
as to how he would decide: neither had Field nor
Miller neither had Clifford nor Strong. But
that he would serve as one of the commission
was the certain expectation of enough Democrats
to have beaten the electoral bill If they had
doubted him. As it was, the bill was passed,
and the friends of Mr.. Tilden were jubilant.
The four Supreme judges were to meet on the
Both of January-four days after the final passage
of the bill-for the purpose of deciding whether
Tilden or Hayes should be President. If Strong
should vote with Field and Clifford for Davis,
Hayes could not invade the White House. The
occasion was momentous one. But before the
time came to decide, Justice Strong announced
the-fatal fact that his friend Davis had positively
refused to be voted for as one of the commission
ers The fifteenth member eff the commission
had then to be chosen from among the associate
justices-Swayne, Bradley and Hunt. Many
reasons have been assigned why Bradley was
selected.
that the Democrats believed that David Davis
could be elected commissioner and would serve,
and that he only made his unwillingness known
after he had been made United States Senator
by Democratic votes and had allowed the Demo
Gratis of the House to pass the electoral BILL
