DEERING.
Deer at East Deerine.

When the first car on the East Deerino
extension OF the Ocean street horse rail-
road passed Lucas's brick yard at about
$50 O'Clock yesterday morning, the driver
was astonished to see beautiful deer
standing quietly in the brick yard. I'm
medlately there was a stampede of pas
sengers from the car, the news flew over
the village almost as fast as the fright
ened deers hoofs few over the fields and
pastures. Old hunters sought their old
nrearms, young hunters seized their
modern repeaters, and all FASTENED and
hurriedlon the trail of 1.-The venturesome
deer. Whether anybody shot it or not we
haven't learned, but let us hope that
they didn't. Why should ardeer. if it
happens to enter the haunts of civiliza-
ton be set upon as savagely as a white
man would be in the haunts of man-eat-A
ing savages2 But it is always SO. Just
one pretty. graceful little deer leaves it's
native wilderness, and the rest of the
world is bristling with hostility. There
is some excuse for hunting deer in the
wilderness, but the thirst for slaughter
that one deer inspires if it ventures out
OF the wilderness is not very edifying
spectacle of human nature. Not that
East Deering is any worse than any 9TH
er place. 1t is always SO. What pleas
ant thing it would be to talk about, if
deer could enter village and not be
bounced upon, but allowed TO roam
about and display what it's natural ac-
tion would be in such strange environ
ments.
Wednesday night the new electric lights
were used in All Souls church at Nor
rill's Corner for the first time, the occa-
sion being the opening of three days.
fair now being held in the vestry.
Up to last evening the deer at East
Deerng had not been captured. It had
made good progress in the direction of
the Eastern Forge Company's plant.
The night before good-sized buck
swan out to Mackworth's Island, and
in the morning was captured in an in
closure, with two female deer belonging
to Mayor Baxter. Probably this deer
and the East Deering deer came down
from the country together.
