Just Deserts.
 Washington. Feb. s.--If the Postof- flee Department was given credit for all the service rendered the Govern ment. the deficit in postal receipts would be practically eliminated. ac- cording to the report of the House Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads on the postofice Appropriation bill which was submitted to the House today.
 The Government de.artments and other Government officers in Washing ton reported that for the six months ended December 31, 1906. the postage upon matter they sent through the malls would have aggregated s2.2s5.42f. The committee estimates that 1t is fair to assume s5,00o.o00 worth of mall is carried for the Cover nment annually from Washington with no credit to the Postoffice Department
 The deficit of the Postofice Depart rngnt for the fiscal year Of 1906 fs sfo.50t,sse, and the committee estimates that this would be entirely covered if st were possible to compute the amount Of mail franked by Federal officials in all parts of the country in addition to the amount of free mail going out of Warrington.
 The increases in compensation to the employees of the service, including clerks. carriers in city delivery of. fees. railway mail clerks and rural free delivery carriers are practically as recommended by First Assistant Post master-General Hitchcock In his last anual report The proposed increases in salaries will aggregate nearly 80 000, 900.
 The report does not attempt to esti- mate the actual amount of cut in pay ito railroads for postal service, but af is. generally believed by members of the committee that the reduction will iaggregate $Io.o0o,000. The total 416,s02.

The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1907-12-13

The New Hampshire open deer sea-
son. which comes to a close tomorrow
night. has demonstrated at least one
thing beyond a reasonable doubt, and
that is that the law prohibiting the
use of rifles and requiring that only
shotguns be used in deer hunting is
both cruel and harmful-cruel in that
it has resulted in manning scores
of animals and harmful because the
greater portion of these wounded ami
mails will eventually die. The New
Hampshire solons evidently had in
mind the danger of stray bullets from
high power rifles when they framed
the law as they did, but they could
not have given much consideration to
the deer themselves. Since the open
ing of the season there have been far
too many instances where deer has
been the target for hunter after hunt
er. each one wounding the animal but
not putting it out of misery. Reports
from all parts of the state tell of
manned animals that have been seen
rushing madly through the woods
