To the credit Of both factions, the (pro.
hibition)election passed off without dis
turbance. The night before the cleo
tion day wild rumors were current Of
riots which would occur. Happily 4
fight was averted by the judicious
action on both sides. Now that the
election Is over each side makes the
charge of fraud against the other, such
as illegal registration, illegal voting
and intimidation. II Is asserted that
tho prohibitionists will carry on the
contest and prevent the sale of liquor
by injunction and other tactics. II
would seem that much the wiser course
would be to drop the fight. If from
any cause the election could be inyali.
dated another would follow which
could not be carried through without
oodshed.-Clarke County Tin,es.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 4.--ITarrison
Page. desperate criminal, has at last
thought to have been captured at Ar
kansas City, Ark. In 1878 Page assas-
sinated John Z. Briscoe. the chanccry
clerk of Claiborne county. On two
occasions Page was thought to have
been caught and acquisitions for his
return were secured by the Governor
but without avail.
II is thought that there can be no
mistake this time, as the description
given tallies exactly with that Of Page,
and the necessary papers are on the
way for bis return to Mississippi,
where he will receive his just deserts
for his crimes committed.

Whatever other branches of the Boston
and Maine system may have done in the fiscal
year Just closed, the Maine Central system
has maintained its record of continuous in-
provement. Save in single year, the pas
senger business of this company has in
creased every year in the past ten years. and
it will probably continue to increase so long
as Col Boothby is at its head. While lsso
has been an "off' year at the mountain and
seashore resorts, the Maine Central actually
increased its passenger business. BY the
building Of a new country road the Maine
Central this year took nearly all the Poland
Springs passenger business, which had pre-
viously been tributary to the Grand Trunk.

CROWS.
What q Journal Correspondent Says
of Them.


Editor 2f the Journal.
The next Legislature will be asked to pass
law giving bounty for killing crows. BY
the failure of the last Legislature to pass
such Law, the farmers have lost in the las,
two years over $50, 900 by the depredations
Of those '.pesky varmints." Assuming tina,
but one acre of corn is destroyed in each of
the 500 towns in Maine, and there are 500
acres valued at 500 per acre, which makes
the snug little sum of $4,000 annually lost.
Allowing IA acre of potatoes destroyed in
each town. and we have l25 acres. valued at
$50 per acre, worth $3.50. Allowing but
% worth of poultry TO each town, we have
$500 ia this item alone. The loss of SIS in
poultry may seem large for each town, to
some, but two of my neighbOrs have lost
more than $40 worth of chickens and tur-
keys this summer by crows. Crows are more
destructive to poultry than hawks. / pre-
sumo II reliable date of the amount of fruit.
peas, grain, and poultry annually destroyed
oy crows, II would aggregate at least $780,
300 in this State alone. Does anv one for a
moment doubt that each Of the &c, 900 far
mers in Maine loses 81 80 year by crows:
And yet even this small sum per head rises
TO the total above stated | think it would
not be hard to find 10000 farmers who
would be glad TO give SIS each to be insured
against crows.
If it costs 100000 year for farmers to
support crows here, that amount is taken
from the channels of industry This NAV
be but drop in the bucket" but it is one
Of the drops that fill the bucket, and it takes
all those factors TO make farming a success
and every successful effort made to elimin-
ate those various 'outs" which farmers have
TO bear, is step taken towards the solution
of the question: How to make farming
more proftable?'
A bounty of 10 cents a head on crows
would be a great incentive to boys in
our cite: and villages, in spring and au-
tumn, to make raid on these pests, and by
combining profit with pleasure, they would
soon deplete the now too numerous fiocks of
crows which are so bold and destructive. 1t
has been said that boys on the seashore BY
hunting crows would drive them back into
the country but there would no, be SO many
to come back and they would not come SO
tame as they went away.
The objection that it will create a new
source of taxation is of no consequence any
way. large part of the tax would be paid
to the sons of those who paid it out. There
are great many farmers who would never
think of calling for the bounty for killing
crow. 1t would take great many crows to
make snail tax. Granting that l25 crows
were killed in each of the 800 towns in our
State upon which bounty was paid, and
there would be 90 800 crows killed, demand
ing a bounty of S6,25O or less than one
cent for each person in the State
| do not think there is a taxpayer in
Maine, unless he is a chronic grumbler, who
will object To having such q fay. certainly
