The Game Laws of Maine.

The other day We're asked where a
copy of the game laws of the State could be
obtained, and could think of no publication
readily accessible and mailable that would
meet the demand. Since then we have re-
vate and Special Fish Laws of the State of
Maine, compiled by A. D. Russell, clerk in
the Office of Secretary of State, and Col. E.
c. Darlington, of Augusta, and edited by
the noted tourist, Capt. Charles A. j. Far
rar, Jamaica Plains Publishing Co., Mass.
The book can be had of A. d. Russell, Au-
of 81.

Our Largest Tax Payers.

Below are the names of the persons, resi-
dent and nonresident of Belfast, who pay
tax of 500 and upwards. The total valua-
ton this year is 1921 1888, against $685.
S67, gain of S64 ,466. The gain Of 1891 over
1890 was but S33,57O. 1t will be seen that
our gain for 1892 IS nearly double of the year
before. The real estate valuation this year
is 81 1852 ,5O5 a gain of S3l 4S5 over 1891, and
the personal property is SS5S,S2S, a gain of
S329 9S1. The rate of taxation is the same,
$40 on 81 600. The central school district
tax is the same 1891, S1.H on $1,000, and
this tax is included in the list. There are
1,s14 polls, whch.is a small reduction from
last wear The whole amount of taxes as
sessed is sos ,037 %, divided as follows: city
tax, 81 900; State tax, SS,l92; county tax,
Si41s. 40; central school district, 81, 100, the
balance being overlav, Two hundred and
sixty dogs are taxed The most notable
change in taxation is in the Dana Sarsapa-
rilla Company From a tax of :3424. 81 for
1891, the company is now taxed - ,652 40,
making it the largest single tax i'll the city.
The Skoda Discovery Company, Which had
no existence last year, now pays about $50.
In the matter of taxation our city makes a
good showing. While Improvements are
continually going ON, the increase in valua-
ton is sufficient to keep the taxes on the
same percentage. The increase for next
year bids fair to be as large as the present.
and there is now no immediate prospect of
taxes being higher than at the present time.
The list.

This body Of Presbyterian preach
ere and elders met in Petersburg,
We on the 25th q October and
was opened with IN Impressive SER
mon By Dr.. Moses Hoge, on ssThe
sad refrain running through the
INFIDEL literature Of the world.
The Rev. T.. w. Hooper, ID. D.,
was elected Moderator. A messsgs
OF sympathy was sent 70 President
Harrison in his great sorrow and
the prayers Of the Synod were ofYsr-
cd in his behalf. The subject OF
evangslixation in the bounds Of the
Synod took up nearly the whole Of
the second day and awakened much
interest. Every church will be
called on to say how much it will
contribute to this cause in the next
twelve months. There mas been, q
large increase in the number OF can
didates for the gospel ministry.
But because the number Of new
churches has increased very much,
the need OF young ministers is even
greater than it was ever before.
The Rev. DR.. Witherspoon, of
Nashville, represented the Assem-
bly's Committee on Foreign Mis-
sions. and made q very strong sp-
peal in favor of sending the gospel
to the heathen.. Thc progress Of
tho church in con vertiug the world
Is very marked: The report on the
subject Of Sustentation was the on
ly one that was not very encourag-
ing. The Synod does not oppose
outside religious societies, but wish
es them God-speed in all good work.
Still, the church, which is Gods
institute for converting the world.
must keep its whole machinery at
work under q full head Of power.
This will remove the necessity for
much work now done outside of
the church.
The Synod voted down q paper
drawn in favor Of encouraging the
ordination Of ministers of the Cos
pei OF limited education. The, de-
cision Of this question was almost
with one voice. Yet young men
or good spirit and good name,
whose difficulties in obtaining q
liberal education are more than or
binary, should be licensed to
preach.
The subject Of the literature Of
the church was discussed n long
time. The Synod is deeply inn
pressed with the importance Of put
ting pure and religious books in
the hands Of our pupils, especially
the young and GALA the attention
OF the Sunday Schools to this sub
ject. The Sunday newspapers full
OF pictures and articles Of kind to
keep down religious thought and
feeling. is considered u very great
evil. The Central Presbyterian was
warmly commended, AZ . religious
paper, to our people. Every in
teiligent Presbyterian should have
| it.
The Synod is undertaking to ss-
tablish an. Orphan asylum for fe-
males in Fredericksburg, with good
hope Of succcss.
The good people Of ssthe Cock
AIDE city" as it used to be called
are extending the most generous
hospitality to the members and VS.
itors to tho Synod,-Winches ter
