Deer Raised for Market.

The deer park, which L. c. Houghtou
established in Halifax three or four years
ago, promises to become a paying ven-
ture within a few years. Mr.. Hough-
tons idea was to eventually furnish ven-
ison for the New York markets, begin
ming by killing the surplus bucks. He is
a young man, born and reared on a
Halifax farm, who went west a an early
age, was associated with a wealthy
uncle in business and in few years be-
came man of substance. He returned
to his boyhood home, bought three
farms of about 1000 acres, inclosed
nearly all his land with high barbed
wire fence with strands close together,
and shipped to this park 80 or 40 deer,
three Rock Mountain goats and four elk
The animals have increased rapidly, and
he now has nearly 200 deer and small
herds each of elk and Rocky Mountain
goats. He has also built three or four
trout ponds. He is spending the summer
at the park, and is greatly pleased with
the prospect, feeling that the venture will
not only give him a summer home and
an avocation from which he will derive
much pleasure, but that in the end it will
be handsome paying investment from
a business standpoint.

communities in the confiscaion of oxen

determined to lose as little time as pos
sible. An unofficial recommendation has
been sent to Washington to that effect
The opinion is growing rapidly that the
evacuation would be greatly aided by the
advent of the first army corps of Ameri-
can troops. Spanish privates, despairing
of getting fun pay here, are tired OF
Cuba. and will be glad to return to their
homes as soon as possible.
Officers are roughly divided into three
classes-those who are still having an APP
portunity to make money at the public
expense, and anxious to prolong their
stay to make more; those bitter enough
to desire to stay in the hope of hinderins
