1t appeared by the discussion In the House
yesterday that the eastern part of the State
is infested with crows which not only pull
up corn, but dig potatoes and gather apples.
One farmer.or alleged farmer, said they were
so thick in his section that a person, riding
along in wagon, could easily shoot hun
dred of them, 1t did not appear however that
any crows had been shot, why, perhaps, we
can indicate by alittle story, and true story
too. Once upon time gentleman was
upin franklin county, and meeting farmer
In one of the remote towns inquired of him
regarding the hay crop. The farmer allowed
that the crop on his premises was like
ly to be<poor you see," said he, "the
bears are so thick that we have to keep our
sheep in the moving field near the house
where we can look after them" "But, why
not shoot the bears?" SWELL" replied the
farmer 'the truth is the bounty isn't big
enough to make it an object We suppose
this is the reason the crows down in Waldo
county have not been shot. The bounty
hasn't been big enough. II ten cents head
is big enough to make 1t an object the crows
will die.
What the farmer needs now is bounty on
potato bugs.

For Faith and Freedom. BY Walter Be
SAINT. New York. Harper & Brothers;
Portland; Loring, Short & Harmony If
Desahts novels have not all the elements of
popularity they at least have strong orr
s'hahty Oh their own and many excellent
ana attractive qualities. One of the best,
ana the latest volume of Harper's new edi-
tlon Oh Besants stories is "For Faith and
Freedom" which has appeared as serial in
the illustrated London News. 1t is tale
Oh the troublous times In England during
the reign Of Charles Ill. the merry Mon
arch" beginning at the period of the passage
OF the Act of Conformity" which elected
from their cures about two thousand con-
scientious clergymen, and including the
Dutch war which followed. Mr. Besant's
work cannot be called an historical work,
for the characters are purely imaginary, the
heroine .being the daughter of non-con-
formist ,clergymen, whose lover left her to
fight the battles of his country. The volume
is closely illustrated. bright, full of incident
and with more than spice Of humor.

Epic, In Commemoration of the Birth Of
Adoniram Judson. By William C. Richards.

a remarkable one; his achievements and as
pirations, his trials and his triumphs, are

that Mr.. Richards is not very good verse OF
its kind, but only that prose-as poetic as he
pleased would have been a better, and
more far-reaching, form than this which he
has selected. The notes occupy more than
forty pages and are full of interest. The
volume is daintily and beautifully bound,
and contains portrait of Mr. Judson.

Col. Moore stated to the railroad committee
on Thursday that ample notice of the hear
ing ON the Portland & Rochester extension
had been given through the PRESS and

columns Of the PRESS fails to discover any
notice at all. unless the mere announcement
that the committee on railroads will meet
Wednesday afternoons is to be regarded as
notice. Other matters are advertised speci-
fically, but there is no mention anywhere Of
