We have received from J. W. Titcomb,
secretary of the Vermont Fish and Game
League, a copy OF the Fish and Game
Laws OF Vermont for 1856. SIT is a
handy little pamphlet and embraces all
the statutes now in force in regard to the
preservation of fish and game in Vermont
as revised by the legislature of 1894, to-
gether with much other valuable infor-
nation, including an interesting chapter
on the breeding and care of pheasauts.
The Odd Fellows through their chosen
committee have practically decided to
build the Odd Fellows Home for aged
and inhrm at Bradford, where a COM
handing site has been secured just north
of the depot on a bluff overlooking the
pretty valley to the south and the most
lofty peaks in New Hampshire. The
home is intended for INDECENT members OF
the order and their wives. The plan is to
build the home, probably frame Struct-
ure, and then ask the various lodges in
the state to contribute towards its fur
nishing. Quite a sum has already been
secured as building fund, which will be
considerably augmented by subscriptions
from the large membership in the state.

Considering location, natural advan-
tages and beauty of scenery, it is remark
able that Island Pond has not been made
more of as a summer resort. We have
every possible inducement for city visit
ors, scenery, drives, boating, fishing in
nearly every direction, variety of location
enough to suit every taste, and these can
and should be made profitable sources of
income. Our hotels and the farmers of
the town should awake to their oppor-
tuuities and utilize them. This place
seemingly has been kept as quiet as posi-
Bile. Advertise, gentlemen, in the city
papers for summer boarders and show
the outside world there is such place as
Island Pond, and that it has great at.
fractions, natural and otherwise.

NICARhGUAN CANAL.

Favorable Report on tile Proposed Route
 to be Made by the United states Commts-
 sion-The Work Gan be Completed in
 Seven Years, but VIII Cost More than the
 Estimates Former Mana cement So-
 yerciy Criticised.
 CINCINNATI, July 13.-A special to the Post from Grevtown, Nicaragua, says that a favorable report on the Nicaraguan canal will be made by the United States commission which has been in the country for some weeks and has carefully examined the pro posed canal route and the terminal harbors on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
 The commissioners are now at work upon their report, which will be of an exhaustive character They will state their unanimous conclusion that the Colorado bar, which has caused so much trouble at the entrance to Grey town harbor, can be partially removed by dredging. and that q permanent opening through it can be maintained by building and maintaining a sea wall of piling to the southward of the harbor, so as to break the ocean cur rent which washes up the sand on the bar.
 The commissioners think that the work of constructing the canal can be completed within term of six or seven years, but that the total cost will exceed the limit set by the pro jectors, and that S110. 00o, 900 will not be an excessive figure.
 The commission will ventilate it's opinion of the former management of the'canal enterprise. and will present a number of severe criticisms in this con nection.
 The commission consists of Col. Wm. Ludlow, of the army; Civil Engineer NJ. r. Endisott, of the navy; Alfred Noble, of Chicago, civilian. All are appointed by the president. All are on the cruiser Montgomery and arc due at Key West, Fla, today.

THE OHIO RIVER.
G~Hersi Plan for Improving It's Navigation
 -DifcuIties In the Way.

WAsHGNGToN, July 13.-The general plan for improving the navigation of the Ohio river is treated in the an nual report of Col Amos stickney, corps of engineers, United States army, with reference to the work ac- complished during the year ended June 30, 1895 The plan has for it's ob= ject to secure additional depth al is- lands and bars by the construction of low dams across chutes and by the building of dikes where the river is wide and shallow so as to confine the flow to smaller cross section and by dredging
 A radical improvement of the upper part of the river has been commenced by the construction of lock and movable dam at Davis island, five miles below Pittsburgh and work on another lock and dam No. 6, has been commenced just below Beaver.
 Surveys have also been made for sites for movable dams Nos 2, 3, 4 and of the series. A snag boat and two dredges belonging to the United States are constantly employed when funds are available and the stage of the river permits, in taking out snags and wrecIs and in dredging away gravel and rock Instructions that can not otherwise be removed.
 The work of improvement has been continued all along the river to Mound City, H., 959 miles below Pittsburgh, where dilSes are being erected.
 Speaking generally of the project Col. Stickney says that it is impossible to determine in advance just where and how much work will be needed for making good navigation upon the en- tire upper length of the river, and therefore it is impossible to submit estimates for complete improvement The work, he says, must be pro gressive and tentative, and ow- ing to the varied interests and covering nearly 1,00o miles of river, the locations of works must be at considerable distances can be taken on hand and improve ment completed in advance of other parts of the river, unless large amounts of money are provided
 Continuing, he says: "The great and growing commerce of this river, its numerous cities, and the rapid in crease of the already large population of the valley should appeal in strong terms for adequate appropriations for such betterment of the navigation as it is certain can be obtained by we'll known methods"

The Tobacco Sections Of Connecticut D Dr
 vasEfted.


 HARTFORD, Conn, July IA de. structive hailstorm. accompanied by wind swept through the tobacco sec tions about here yesterday afternoon between and o'clock, extending over track about mile wide. Windsor Locks, Suffield, East Hart ford, Glastonbury, Manchester and Netherstield. were the towns that suf fered worst
 In Suffield the tobacco crop is rid died and partially ruined. At Woods station, just north of Windsor Locks, Harvey Fuller, who had sought refuge in shed, was struck by lightning and seriously injured
 In Glastonbury hail fell two inches deep, and where it fell from the barns and houses it was eighteen inches deep The tobacco crop in that town and in the south part of East Hartford is totally ruined. Leaves are stripped from the trees and the whole section is devastated.
 In this city the hail was heavy, and in the southwestern section garden crops were destroyed. The loss can not be estimated, as the wires are down in many places and telephoning is impossible. It will certainly reach over S200, GOO
