Hero we desire to express our
opinion in a modest way, without
casting nny reflections upon any
one. Thnt n foul, deliberate and
rold-Moodod murder wasrommitted
is settled beyond a shadow of a
doubt. In the first place the arrest
was premature : effected at n. tim
when excitement ran high and men
were not in a proper frame of mind
to manage a rase of such mnenitudn.
It was an unpardonablo blunder to
rail in withAl cxandor's Bureau of
Detectives. No blamo ran attach to
Mr. Hane ho was mentally and
physically broken up over the Iohh
of his favorite boy 1 nnd whoever
advised this manifestly too early
proceeding is wholly unfitted either
to adviso or manage a case of homi
cide. Thero is no disputing the
fact, there it remains, nnd wn dnuira
to be understood : Wo nro not at
taching blame to any one else than
the person or persons who blunder
ed, henco, 110 offenso to personal
friends of Mr. Hane. nor to counsel
of tho Commonwealth. Hcr it
rests. It may be a long time bofore

That Hunting Party.
The Troxelville hunting party
which the editor accompanied l ist
week on a grand deer hunt returned
on Saturday with two finetwo-prung
bucks as tropics of their skill at the
trigger. The one was shot by the
editor of tho Post, and I lie 1
killing the other one is divided be-
tween "Uncle" Rob Middleswarth
and Ner 31. Middleswarth (Califor
nia Joe). Owing to rain and fog
they only hunted two and a half
days, saw four deer, killed two and
would have strung up another had
not Bobert Middlcswarth's Win.
Chester flinched. Consi.le rinir I lie
time aud circumstances it was a
most successful hunt. The purtv
consisted of nine men, viz: Robert.

His name in Appetite, a twin-brother
to J''xtreie. We found deer quite
scarce east of Black Gap, but there
the signs are plenty. Some un
hung scoundrel for whom hell is too
good scattered poison around the
camps to kill the innocent dogs, and
succeeded in nearly laying out two
dogs belonging to tho Port Ann
party, but a timely and vigorous
dose of lard saved them. Twenty
yards north of Booney's Shanty a
very large red fox lays horn tie com
bat tho result of a dog-poisoner's
dose. Tho shanty lies full of dead
mice and rats. If any ono is caught
in this outrageous work we hope he
will be compelled to eat a lotion of
his own preparation. They are fel
lows who kill deer the whole year
around by all means of devices, and
then think they own the woods be
cause they live nearest to them and
want the pleasure of killing game
left undivided to themselves. It is
a penitentiary ..tVense an.l we hold
S" to give tot lie party who will fur
nish information that will lead to
the arrest and conviction of these
hell-hounds.
Some people have an idea that
there is 110 profit in hunting deer,
and iu order to give them a fair con
crption of the profit and loss in a
monetary sense, we append below a
copy of the bill of expense tendered
aud accepted by every member of
last week's hunting party :

The heavy rains on Sunday. Mon
day aud Tuesday did considerable
damage again along Middlecreek
in Hooding fields and distroying
winter crops. The French Flats
wero flooded, and the water had
reached a point within four feet of
tho high-water mark in the June
flood. The new iron bridtro 1 i miles
west of Middleburgh which was in
course of construction had tho seaf-

ready resting upon it went to the
bottom. Harvey Stahlneckor and

when it went down and narrowly es
caped with their lives. They clung
to timbers and floated half a mile
