LETTER, TO ENGLISH HUNTERS.
Fort Pownall, March "a, 1854.


Gentlemen:
The Indians complain heavily of the
injury you do them, in hunting upon a
Stream which they had taken up, there
is law against English hunting at all,
but it is hardly yet in force still cant
but hope that you are so friendly to the
Commonwealth that you wont give the
indians any just cause of complaint, the
little advantage you may make will be a
poor compensation to you if by this
means you should be the Authors of dis
tu-bing the Peace and quiet of your
Country. Therefore l earnestly intreat
you to quit the Stream you are upon,
and which it plainly appears the Indians
have the best right to, but if you will
not and any mischief ensues, l cannot
see how you can acquit yourselves. If
you are apprehended after the Act takes
place, you are liable to fine and forfeit
your Fur, and shall certainly use my
endeavors to have the Act duly executed.
am yours &c

LETTER, HANS ROBINSON TO CAPT.
GoLDTHwAIT.
Capt Goldthwait:
Sir:
This comes to let you know that have
seen the Indians you sent your letter
with, and they have given it to US, and
we have not set any Traps where they
have any, and we would be very glad,
you would tell the Indians that we would
hunt upon the Pond, that we were upon
it first, and there was no Signs of any
Indians upon it when we came here, if
there were any traps upon it we wou
not have sat any here, and as we were
here first we think it is our Right to
hunt here, but if they are not Satisfied
we will go home.
So l remain your humble Servant,
HANS ROBINSON.
LETTER, THo's GoLDTHWA1T TO MR..
ROBINSON & OTHERS.
Fort Pownall, March %, 1854.
Gentlemen:
l received your Note by Arexes, and
am sorry to tell you that there is an alb
solute occasion for you to leave the
Pond, which you are upon, and which
the Indians say and demonstrate they
have the best right to, wish you cou'd
accommodate yourselves otherwise for the
little Time which you have a Right tc
hunt, but if you are determined to con-
tinue where you are l fear what will be
the Consequence. 1t is as much as | car
do now to pacify the Indians, and hope
you II consider what injury may be done
the Province by your not complying with
my request, am Gentlemen,
Your very good Friend &c.,

The practice offers tcmptatiOh to merchants who would be honest un- der different conditions and gives the habitually dishonest an opportunity to undersell thus gaining ali unfair advantage over their competitors.

 Tyler Lawrence Is the veteran off, cial of the local lodge, last evening marking the commencement of his 18th consecutive year as tyler, a po- sition which he has filled with singu- lar fidelity.
 At the conclusion of the lodge cere- monies, District Deputy Hafey was formally introduced to the assembly by Exalted Ruler Flint. For upwards of 30 minutes MT. Hafey held the rapt attention of the membership. His ad- dress was a masterly analysis of the imperishable principles upon which is founded the Benevolent and Protec- tive Order of Eaks. He took up in turn each of the cardinal virtues, charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity, explaining the intent and les son of each with singular lucidity and elOquence. The concenSuS of opinion was that District Deputy Hafey had delivered one of the most instructive Elk lessons ever heard in tho local lodge rooms.
 Assumption of the functions of eX- alted ruler by the new executive head of the local institution was the sig. nal for prolonged applause. It was indeed a sincere ovation which his fellow members rendered their new chief. Exalted Ruler Flint respond ed in splendid address in which he outlined the policy of his administra- tion for the coming lodge year. His cor ception of what was required met with the unanimous approval of all present as was manifested by the spontaneous demonstration of sup port which greeted his remarks. Be- fore the ceremonies in the lodge room terminated Past Exalted Ruler Jos eph c. Ivers in behalf of friends of the new exalted ruler presented him with a huge basket of magnificent American beauty roses. The speech of presentation was as graceful as the acceptance by the recipient was touching.
 After the lodge was closed a social session was held in the banquet hall Here a most enjoyable repast was furnished under the direction of the house committee the forces of which

 Among the out of town guests were a delegation from Norwalk lodge, and Br. George Keen and MT. John Nagle, prominent insurance officials of Hart ford and members of Hartford lodge. During the social session the mem- bers of NorWalk lodge presented to B. B. Plumley, the retiring exalted ruler of the local lodge a beautiful pin emblematic of the order. MT. Plumley accepted the gift with 8 graceful speech.
 Upon the arrival of District Depu- ty Hafey and Messrs. Mack, Keen and Nagle from Hartford, yesterday afternoon they were banquetted at the Amazon Cafe by the officers and a few former officers of the local lodge. Manager Thomas Kirby of Polls was a guest at the dinner.

 Stratford, April 5-The electors of a sewer district and change the street lighting system from gas to electri- city. The town hall was packed and over 200 votes were cast. The two propositions were practically carried unanimously. The resolution provides for an electric light to take the place of every gas or gasoline lamp now 10, cated in the town and all to be con- nected with the transformer at the fire house. The advantage of this plan will be the fact that any lamp reported not burning will receive i'm. mediate attention. from the chief and be put into commission. Elliot w. Peck reported for the special commit. tee on sewers. Ills report was ac. cepted and the recommendations of the committee were adopted. The dis trict will be equipped with a pumping station. The resolution was passed under special act of the legislature and calls for one district.

MAN ELECTROCUTED
At STONE QUARRY
lrlshman, Recently From Sparrows
Point, Md, Meets Sudden Death
BY Live Wire at Security.

James Donaldson ageu about As,
was electrocuted about 7 o'clock Wed
nesday at the quarries OF the Secur.
ity Cement and Lime Co, near Berke-
ley Station, by coming in contact with
the heavily charged electric wires that
transmit power to the quarries.
The man was on his way to work,
and In descending the incline at the
quarries his foot slipped in the wet
ground, causing him TO involuntarily
throw out his hand 10 save himself
from falling AS he did SO his left
hand came in contact with the wires
and he was instantly killed.
Coroner Kline and Undertaken Will
en- were notified of the accident and
they went down to the scene at once.
After hearing the statements of sew
eral eyewltnesses 10 the accident the
coroner decided that an inquest was
unnecessary. being convinced that
Donaldson's death was purely acciden-
tai and that the route he took to the
quarry was not the one regularly used
by the workmen.
Mr.. Wien brought the body to his
establishment and prepared it for bur-
ial. Coroner Kline telegraphed to the
chief of police at Sparrows Point, Md,
requesting him to make inquiry as to
whether Donaldson had any relatives
or friends there. and If 50 would they
take charge of the body. Donaldson

GODDESS MAY STAY
ON FiVE.CENT CIONS
Additional Designs, However, Are Re-
quested BY Mint and Treasury
Officials.

Washington, ID. c., July 13.-Dissat-
isfed with the designs for the propos-
ed ne wtype of scent pieces which
has been submitted to George e. Rob-
erts, Director of the Mint, by ]. w.
Frazer, of New York City, for eonsid-
Grafton, additional samples have been
called for. 1t will be several weeks
before the new designs reach the city
and the final decision in the matter
will probbaly not be reached for more
than a month.
at has not been decided yet whether
a new type of 5 cent piece will be "eoin
ed" said Director Roberts yesterday
afternoon. 1T is mere suggestion.
Several designs have been submitted
by Mr. Frazer, and have been exam
ined by Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh. 1t was thought advisable
to have the New York designer send
additional types for consideration.
This female opposition to the pro-
posal to take the Goddess of Liberty
off the nickel seems to me rather I'M
called for. There is nothing so sacred
about that figure on the scent piece.
1t is certainly not reproduced from an
actual photograph of the goddess. At
any rate, there are several other coins
which bear the imprint of the goddess,
so it would not mean her utter annihi-
lation to eliminate her from the nick
ell"
When the new designs arrive they
win be carefully considered by Di-
rector Roberts and Secretary Mac
Veagh. If it is decided to change the
type of scent pieces, the matter will
first be submitted to President Taft
for approval.
