Favorably Situated, Indeed

The [Republicans of the town of Brook-laTen, Suffolk County, \rill hold their^convention at the Village HalL Taphank,•opjEhursday, 23rd in$t Candidate for¦fawn, officers Trill lie nominated, a Town•Committee appointed and other businesstransacted.

:So3S&ffix6 should ?l?e done presipfiy-to improve the ancient and gninboot-ilike taste of the mucilage on the Ameri-,can postage stamp. The new Columbian=size has a good deal more surface thanfee old ones, and is calculated to add a.glue factory ;flavqr to the tongue that is-far from delicious.

BROOKHA.vEiFio'STi appropriated §1,000ior three lock-ups, one to be located at'Moriches, one at Patehogue and one atPortjTeff< rson.

At the meeting of the Eastern coalagents on Tuesday, egg coal was reduced-in price 40 cents; stove 'coal, 60 cents;chestnut coal, 50 cents. The redactionstake<effect immediately.

Asnii isnow before the Legislature-requiring all coroners in the state to bephysicians. The legislative committeeof the ffew York Medical Society has en.jdorsed the bill; and the measure is to beja uch commended.

A OOiaqriEE of Staten Islanders, liead-£dby Erastus Wihnan, is getting up a-grand reception and dinner to Congress-man James "W- Covert, in recognition of<She many favors which Eichmond CountyJias^eceived at his hands.

-Uq one can visit England -without be-ting struck;by the estrodinary superiority.of English highways over our own. Thisapplies in city streets and in countrytoads. .-It is safe to say that almost everyfive miles of main public roads in GreatBritain is better than almost any five•miles of road in onr country.

A kadicaij change in the make up* offhe trustees of this town seems to bedemanded by the people, and from thesentiment expressed by people in differ--ent parts .of the town an out svnd outset of trustees favoring free bay will beelected ;this spring. We believe the timehas arrived when the bays, the gar-den, spots of flie town, should be free toall and not under control of a few mon-eyed men.

Govebkob Viaxwer has granted a res-pite to James L. . Hamilton, the colored•ex-preacher. -Every preparation hadibeen made to carry out ihe sentence im-posed upon Hamilton, which was that he£be put to death during, the week"beginning March 13. The Governor willhear an argument from Hamilton's law-yer, "who claims to be in possession ofimportant facts not heretofore pro-duced.

$lE* Board of Supervisors of QueensCounty have passed aresolution Tequesting Senator Floyd-Jones and Assembly-imen'Townsend, Kobinson and Roaring,representing Queens Co. in the Legisla-ture, to vote against the Annexation billUnless hi is amended so as to provide thateach city and town which it seeks to con-solidate with .New York, "be permitted tosote -separately and independently ofeach other upoa:the question; and thatfile result of such ballot decide as to.whether such territory shall be annexed-

Iriooks now as if the proposed aniend-•jnente to the. annexation bill, to per-mit each community to say foritself if it desired annexation, may notbe accepted. If the bill goes through as•it is the people of all the cities, townsand Tillages outside of New York might.vote against consolidation, .and if 2fewYork alone should record itself in favor,iy a majority greater than that against,the .commission would be authorized togo ahead and prepare a charter for the^greater city. Even if the vote in

everydistrict affected should be against con-solidation ther.e is nothing except senti-|nent to prevent that being done.

The breaking up of a hard winter, saysflie Brooklyn Times, generally involves.a good deal of discomfort in the shape ofjnuddy roads and water-logged fields onLong Island, where the people are payingcow for the sleigh rides they enjoyed a fewgreeks ago. There p liable to be some mudon the roads, and the penalty of going toj ehurch is much painful washing of wagonsafter the return. But* that is about theworst of Long Island's share in the dis-comforts of the spring floods.

But there are few places sofavorabytoated as Lorg Island is in this respect

j Over half the state the people have been.looking forward with apprehension to theinevitable spring rains and to the conse-quent melting of the vast accumulations'of snow on the uplands. It needed noprophetiG_prescience to foresee .that the.spring of 1893 would be unpleasantly digtfngulahed by widespread and destructivejlooda. In this case it is the expected thatlias happened and the wires are burdenedwith stories of- disaster, of ice gorges thatclam the streams and, send the accumulat-ing w^tere over the adjacent .country, oflouses swept away and lives and property'destroyed'.*". InhereIs likely to be a good deal more ofthe same .kind of news before the monthJsoverT But it is fortnnale in every waythat the bieak-np has come so soon. An-nther month "of such weather as Januaryasd February gave us would have added5argeh/'rto>the accnmulationof snow and'mtaAA have increased thereby the extent ofib iDeTitableuisaster.

P lum Gut of the P ast

Gould—Darling

Suffolk County Notaries

Great Wood Cutting

Itis-said that the channel which separ-ates Plum Island and Orient Point, andwhich is known as Plum Gut, and at thepresent time is about a mile wide, was a)one time so narrow and shallow that a milwould reach across it , the rail resting fromone rock to the other. This is simply anexample of the chauge nalute is sll thetime making in the passageways of humantraveling.

In the vicinity of this channel, at the ex-tremity of Plum Island which forms themterly shore of Plum Gut. a colony oifish hawks established.themselves.

Onlinnri ly fish hawks build their nestsin trees, but as there are noneon Plum Isl-and these birds accommodated shemselves-to circumstances, and nested on the sandhillocks, each nest being formed of thedrift from the ocean, such as branchesfrom trees, biis of rnpe, barrel staves andhoops, in fact everything they could pi<-knp, most of the articles being1 of remaika-besize, and each nest actually composedof "cart loads" of materials, for flie birdsrelumed each year to the same quarters,using Ihe same nest, but yearly making ad-diiii-ns and increasing the siz<».

The apparent reason for their selectingthis point for a bl eeding place is the factshat the fishnmen set iheir pound net salong the shore of Mon'auk Point , a fewmiles .distant , and the fish hawks take fi>bfrom the nets to fwd their young.

The pound nets frequently vxttr.d froma quarter to a half mile from the shore, andare streicheil upon tall poles inserted in shebottom of the sea. Some of these poles areveritable trees as big<'i «8 u ship's msist.

At limes a row of patient birds may beseen perched on top of the ptsfes wuitiugfor fish to beocme entangled in the nets.The. biids are poachers, of course, bat theyare inltrestiain; oacs

We read the slory in last week's Jf ews ofa man cutting five cords cf wood in a daya"d thought perhaps it was an exaggeration,but the story has been confirmed by par-ties who knew the expert wood chopperCap!, James Baker, of Sayville, says thathe was with a number of men up in SilasHulse's woods several ye&rs ago and wit-nessed George Dayton of Patchogne andAlfred Gerard from the same place, cutwood on a wager. George Day tori cut andpiled up six cords of wood in one day "be-tween sun and sun." Gerard gave up thecontest before he had finished cutting fivecords. Considerable money was bet on thetwo men.—Cor. of SaymUe New.
