the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Pc
tomac railroad, was badly frightened
Thursday morning about $50, by the
sudden appearance Of large owl III
the cab of his engine. TIE uain was
running at speed of possibly fifty
miles an hour, when, at a point between
Penola and Milford, sudden crasa
came and the bird was thrown violent
" by hin. II seems that the owl wa
flying in en- opposite direction fion
that in which the train was runuing,
and it crashed through the cab window,
which is of heavy glass, and fell dead
on the floor. The hole broken
in the glass is clean cut, and Just large
enough to let the body of the bird pass
through. The owl is flee specimen.
It's head is about five inches in diam :
ter, and from tip to tip of wings il
measures thirty nine inches. 1t is in
the possession of one of the officers ci
the road, who is proud of his property,
and Thursday afternoon said he would,
in all probability, have it shipped to 8
taxidermist and put in shape for proper
keeping. The owl bad large crawfish
in its mouth and still retains its grip

SOUTHERN COMPETITION.

at meeting Of the Arkwright Club,
which was held at Young's Hotel, BoI-
tor, on "Wednesday, a report was pre-
scented upon the condition of southern
competition in cotton manufacturing
and the practicable mode of meeting il.
The report was unanimously adopted.
The club did not consider any resolu-
ton for carrying the policy proposed
into effect further than TO refer the
matter TO g special committee. The
report tell. in detail Of visits 10 sever-
al southern mills and states that first
class, we'll equipped southern mill COL
pares favoraby with any in the north.
The committees concise opinion is
given in these words:
"The southerner finds that with the
advantage he possesses DE can n axe
these goods at cost which will allow
him to underseli our mills and leave
him margin of profit which is SUI
ficieut toinduce the investment OF cap
tai. Ard now what are these advant-
ages?
First, that cotton is conveniently
near, and that freight on 1t can De
saved.
Second, that water power IS sbund:
ant, if you care to utilize 1t. AID
that coal is cheap if you prefer to run
by steam.
Third. that labor is abundant and
cheap, and not inclined to organi Q
against the employers.
Fourth, that the enactment OF re-
strictive labor laws is not likely TO
trouble manufacturers for many years.
In our opinion the cheap labor, long
hours and freedom from legislative il
references are the chief advantages
and the Others are unimportant erd Of
doubtful value.
The committee in sun ming up lis
report Gays that while manufacturers in
the north, especially Massachusetts,
cannot undo labor legislation. they
must meet the competitor by cutting
wages.
