VANCE AND RUSSELL.

Twenty years ago. in a biting snow,
Vance was inaugurated Governor, and
standing on the stage OF fuckers Hall,
began his address in these words: 'There
is retribution in history" Governor
Russell mimics Vance. The echo is like
that Of a photograph. Vance used the
older phrase, there is nemesis in history
to emphasize the freedom Of the people
from the rule OF foreign and renegade
robbers.
Russell rejoices in the return of their
natural successors to a return to the OPP
portunity of pillage and debauchery.
Vance found an empty treasury and de-
serted school houses; Russell finds a
state dotted with schools, not as many or
as good as could be wished, but sup
ported almost entirely by the taxes of
people who have built them, and not a
wasted dollar of public money to bemoan.
Is there cause for rejoicing that retri-
button has overtaken this state Of affairs ?
Isn't there a good deal Of insolence in
Office?

Hunting in newfoundland.

+. :. Killings of woodstock Brought
Home IL Pairs of Caribou Horns as
Trophies.
Mr. and Mrs. Franklin s. Billings of
Woodstock have returned recently from a
hunting trip to the barrens of New found
land. They were accompanied by DR.. w.
X. Draper, classmate of Mr.. Billings at
Harvard, and II p. Wells, New York
lawyer. Mr.. Billings brought back 10
pairs of horns of woodland caribou He
killed eight caribou, DR.. Draper 10, and
the others three The party started from
Halifax in a small steamer, and landed on
the west coast of Newfoundland They
went up the Southwest river, a branch of
the st. Georges river, in n sail boat. Mr..
Billings and br. Draper then made the
rest of the trip, 40 miles, on foot into the
interior. Mrs. Billings was carried in a
small boat by two guides to within - miles
of the camping place. The party were in
the Great Barrens IS days, and had with
them four aud sometimes six guides and
packers. The hunting ground was an
open rolling, rocky country with but little
timber.
A finer hunting ground Mr.. Billings was
never in, and he has hunted for years in
different parts of the country. Dir. Draper
got his 10 deer in seven days hunting,
shooting four in one day. The eight
notches on Mr.. Billings gun show the num-
Der of days he was looking for game
neither hunter spending more than three
or four hours on any trip Two caribou
were killed on the way in, one being
dropped only 30 yards from camp. The
trip of Mr. Billings and his party into an
uumapped and uninhabited country, out OF
the beaten paths of sportsmen, was an un
usual but thoroughly enjoyable one in spite
| of some hardships.
