The Legislative Session.

The Seventy-first Maine Legislature
met in extra session last Tuesday, dis
posed of the business before it, and with
cOmmendable pronptness adjourned at
5 O'Clock in the afternoon.
The special object of the session was
to enact the revision of the statutes, in
to which the laws passed at last winters
session had been Incorporated. This
was a mere matter of form, and was
quickly finished. A number of other
matters stood on the calendar as I'M
finished business, the principal one of
which was the resolve appropriating $40,
900 for Names representation at the st.
Louis exposition. This was made a sort
of football and had a checkered career
during the closing hours of the winter ses-
sion. At Tuesdays session, after some
backing and filling, it was passed, so to
st. Louis the $4,000 will go.
The only other matter on which &C
ton was taken was the bill to devote five
eighths of the savings bank tax to the
school fund. instead of one-half as now.
This bill had some support but was
defeated.
There had been rumors that men with
all sorts of schemes would attempt to
run them through at this session, but
no new business was introduced, and no
difficulty was found in adjourning the
same day.
One member having resigned from the
commission to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of removing the State Capitol, Hon.
George d. Bisbee of Rumford Falls was
chosen to fill the vacancy.
Two members of the house, Isaiah
Daniels of Portland and Joseph H..
Carleton of Roekport, have died since
the winter session, and appropriate reso-
buttons in their memory were passed.
The doings of this Legislature are thus
brought up to total of 664 acts and 1866
resolves which have been signed by the
governor.

We have been living in expectation
sweet" all summer. Shall we be dis
appointed?
The people of Byron are somewhat ex-
cited over the depredations committed
by bears. Several have been seen and a
number of sheep have been killed. On
Wednesday young calf owned by DR..
S. Taylor was killed and dragged about
IA mile and nearly eaten. The mother
COW was so badly wounded by the bears
in DR.. Taylor's pasture that she could
not stand. His boys put in couple of
traps near the remains of the calf. Thurs
day morning they, in company with some
half dozen neighbors, visited the traps
and found very large bear securely
trapped. He put up fierce fight, at
one time coming at the boys with ears
laid back and teeth Gathering. Then he
would run down the hill till the clog
would snag up and he would be brought
to bay. Finally couple of shots from
the Winchester rifles ended his career.
The tracks and other signs showed that
there might have been four or five bears
in the drove. The boys put the traps in
again and hope to secure one or two
more bears. DR.. Taylor brought some
of the bear steak to some of his friends
in the city who hike it. Several of the
friends secured large claw from the
foot of the bear for watch charm and
a trophy.
Arthur Young from Turner shot a
bear while in town recently, and we hear
of bear being shot in Weld.

. Will md Three Weddings.

In Warsaw banker died and left his
entire fortune to whichever Of bis
three nicccs-daughters Of three differ
ent brothers and sisters-married first.
The parties interested in this provision
were present when the will was read,
and all Of them took immediate steps
to secure the prize. BY procuring spe-
cial licenses and taking other unusual
measures it was found that the earliest
possible time for a wedding to take
place was mt s o'clock on the morning
of the tenth day after the will had
been read. Before noon on that day all
three nieces appeared at the notary's
office with certificates showing that
thcy had all become wives between 8

not one Of them had even been engaged
when the will was read. All three
claimed the fortune, and the courts
solved the difficulty by dividing 1t into

The Genius of Labor.

Two hundred persons, waiting for ,
train, lntently watched an old maj
driving SIX inch spikes with an iroI
maui. Now. there Is nothing unusua
or extraordinary about driving spikes
with maui. even though the head o
spike Is only three-eighths Of an incl
square and that of the maui only three
quarters. But there was fascina
ton In this old mans work. His genius
for driving spikes was manifest. he
never missed n blow. He never needed

home with Its head buried in the
planking. He always gave three. There
was a Rhythmic harmony in his task
that appealed to all. In his particular
line he excellod. That is the genius OF
