THE ST. LAWRENCE.

OGDENsBURG, n. Y, July 16, 1890.
Editor Register The st. Lawrence is
one of the grandest rivers on the globe.
1t is worthy to be adored more than the
far-famed Ganges or the Nile. The i'm
mense quantity of water which it bears
away from the region of the Great Lakes
is something marvellous. The scenery,
especially in the neighborhood of Alex
anderia Bay, is indescribably picturesque.
The whole Thousand island region, al
ways like fairy land, is more so than
ever this year. The water of the river
is between two and three feet higher
than last season, and there is fulness
of grandeur and beauty everywhere.
We travelled for hundred miles in a
small steamer yesterday going about
among the islands both upon the Ameri-
can and Canadian sides. Nothing that
we can remember ever surpassed the en-
chantment of this voyage. We start
this morning for thousand-mle trip
up the river and over the Great Lakes.

Ever since the decision of the supreme
court relative to original packages was
rendered both branches of Congress have
been trying to devise legislation which
would cover the point. The Senate pass
ed the first bill. 1t dealt with intoxicat-
ing liquors only. The House thought
this too narrow, and on Tuesday passed
a bill of its own, the substance of which
follows:
That whenever any article of COM
merce is imported into any State, Terri
tory or foreign nation and there held or
offered for sale, the same shall then be
subject to the laws of such State:
Provided, That no discrimination shall
be made by any State in favor of its citi-
zens against those of other States or Ter
ritories in respect to the sale of any ar
ticle of commerce. nor in favor of its
own products against those of like char
acter produced in other States and Terri
tories, nor shall the transportation of
commerce be obstructed except in the
necessary enforcement of the health laws
of such State.
The bill was framed in accordance
with the suggestion of the court in its
decision where it says:
Undoubtedly it is for the legislative
branch of the State government to de-
termine whether the manufacture of par
ticular articles of traffic or the sale OF
such articles will iniuriously affect the
public; and it is not for Congress to de-
termine what measures a State may
properly adopt as appropriate or needful
for the protection of the public morals
the public health, or the public safety

THE BLIssvlLLE TRAGEDY.

The razor and carver, with which Mrs.
James Williams OF Blissville cut the
throats of her children, have been found
among the ruins of the burned dwelling.
The edge was broke of the razor and it
seems hardly probable that she cut her
own throat with that ragged instrument
or made the gashes found. She had re-
marked within few days that the
children had been cut with a knife. A
further search revealed carving knife
directly under the room in which the
children were sleeping, which confirmed
her second statement. The knife was an
ordinary carver, with blade about nine
inches long and as sharp as razor. Mrs.
Williams has been removed to the asylum
at Brattleboro.

But Notwithstanding it is not vested with
supervisory power over matters of local
administration, the responsibility is upon
Congress, so far as the regulation of
interstate commerce is concerned, to re-
move the restriction upon the State in
dealing with imported articles of trade
within its limits which have not been
mingled with the common mass of prop
erty therein, if in its judgment the end
to be secured justfies and requires such
action.
The object of Congress in thus legisla-
ting was "to remove the restriction upon
the State in dealing" with imported in
toxicants or other articles of harmful
character, should such action be deemed
necessary.

Mr.. TuPpER CoRReoTs REPORT

Editor Register Permit me to say
through your paper that the member of
the board of trustees of the village and
others who so industriously circulated
the report that Mr.. Tupper, on the occa-
sion of the starting of the electric lights,
last Thursday night, opened the gates of
the wheels of his mill with the design
and purpose of defeating the operation
of the lights by drawing down the water
in the iume, must have had vivid i'm
agination, and in order to have con-
ceived and put in circulation such an
idea must have been capable of that sort
of malicious revenge born of the lowest
and meanest impulses of humanity. Such
a report is not to be characterized as a
mistake; it was and is a false, scanda-
lous, mean, wicked and contemplate lie.

NOT AN EASY JOB.

The Swedes planted in Vershire did not
take root. 1t is said they have all
scattered. The reason assigned is, that
while growing their crops they could not
find occupation so as to earn livelihood,
and hence were compelled to move away
into the cities where their labor was in
greater demand. They evidently find it
more profitable to work for wages than
to carry on farming business for them
selves. 1t will not be easy to people the
abandoned farms of Vermont so long as
butter is worth only twelve cents pound
and two dollars per day is the price of

HAWK AND RODENTS.
A Predatory Bird Clears Farmer Bald

A Predatory Bird Clears Farmer Bald
wins Barn of yermin.
Farmer Isaac N. Baldwin, of Elk
Hill, Susquehanna County, found a
large hen-hawk in his cellar one morn
ing in April. 1t had entered through
narrow window on the back side of the
house, and it was perched on an APPLE
rack when Farmer Baldwin first saw it.
In one of its talons the big bird was
holding large rat with a firm grip.
The rat was squealing hard, and the
hawk had its neck curved and was cycling
the struggling creature with evident
satisfaction. Pretty soon the rat stopped
squealing, and the hawk then grasped
it with its other claw and tore the rat
in two parts 1t then made breakfast
of the rat, and when it had finished
Mr.. Baldwin walked toward it. The
hawk few over to potato-bin and
alighted on the edge of it, but it didn't
attempt to sail out of the window, and
Mr.. Baldwin, imagining that the bird
would just as soon stay there as not,
closed the window up tight
Rats were thick in the cellar, and for
three weeks the hawk slaughtered them
at rapid rate, Every day Mr.. Bald
win put painful of fresh water in the
cellar for the hawk to drink, and the
bird thrived and appeared to be entire
" contented. Mr.. Baldwin's folks and
the neighbors frequently went down
cellar to see the hawk catch rats, and
after awhile it got so used to seeing
them there that it didn't seem to mind
them at all.
After the hawk had been there three
weeks or so the rats became scarce.
Then MIR. Baldwin set wire trap in his
granary and caught an old settler. 1t
was big and vicious old rat, and it
bit the wires of the trap and squealed
hard to get out Mr.. Baldwin carried
| the trap into the cellar, intending to
| liberate the rat and let the hawk go
| for it.
When he got there the hawk was
perched on the apple-rack, apparently
half asleep. He held the trap up to-
ward the hungry bird, the rat squealed
with terror at sight Of the hawk, and
the hawk walked right up and was ready
for business Going to a corner OF
the cellar fifteen feet from the
hawk, Mr.. Baldwin raised the trap
to level with his shoulder, and got
ready to lift the lid. With its neck
stretched out at full length, the eager
hawk watched every movement of the
squealing rat from its perch. 1t was
prepared to spring at an instants notice,
and Mr.. Baldwin quickly opened the
trap. The rat made jump for free
dom, and the hawk darted at it like a
flash and caught it before it touched
the floor. For a moment the rat squealed
louder than ever, and tried to bite the
hawk, but the bird handled it as though
it was plaything, flying up to its perch
before the rat was dead.
Several more rats were caught in the
barn and let loose in the same way, and
not once did the hawk fail to grab one
before it had reached the cellar bottom
After spell the fun got to be stale, and
few days ago Mr.. Baldwin killed The
hawk with chloroform, and is having |

There is no dearth of monasteries in

the country seems rather to suffer from
a plethora of these cenobitic institu-
tions Female ascectics do not, how
ever, invariably prefer 20 renounce the
world and its pomps and embrace the
rigors of monastic life in the company
of their own sex. The wisest and most
famous recluses known to history were
of the male sex, and this consideration
may have weighed with an interesting
young girl of Onego, who felt called by
Heaven to abandon the world and such
of its vanities as were likely to fall to
her lot some six or seven months ago.
Instead of applying to the Superioress
of a female monastry this candidate for
ascetic honors struck out the female
