This is his story : | "At the last session of the Maine le gislature a law was passed plating a all. hedgehogs killed within the sever: al towns, the mén who did the killing to present the forepaws and the nose of the hedgehog to, the town clerk and to certify in writing when and where the animal was shot. No sooner had the act received the signature of the governor than boys and men went to the woods to shoot hedgehogs, and be- fore April 25th, the town treasurer had honored orders for slaying of 210 of these animals. Then somebody discovered that the law was not operative until May 1st, and that the bounties which had been paid were so. much money thrown awav. as the state would not pay for anv hedgehogs slain before * the act went into force, As soon asthe town clerk learned that he had blundered, he went to the men who had received bounties and asked them to refund the money, ex- plaining how: the case stood and beg- gine for consideration. The recipients of she bounty refused to give it back; then the clerk looked 5 an old law, which inflicted a fine of 8 for killing hedgehogs "between October 1st and June 1st. and the old law . being operative until the new came into effect, he complained of the men who had killed hedgehogs in close time. A local justice fined them 85 and costs for every offence, so that for every twenty-five' dents the hunters had received in+ bounties they were compelled to pay out 85 in fines' and from $2 to $4 in costs. After this the hunters began to stu dv the old act for themselves. They found that in addition to a*fine of & for killing hedgehogs in close time, the man who had any part of a dead hedgehog in his possession between Oo- hs lst and June Ist. was also lia hle to a fine of $5 and costs. As the town clerk had received the noses and front paws of 210 hedgehogs from the hunters and had paid them bounties uvon the same, there could he no doubt but that he had acted illegally bv receiving the evidence of euilt. 0 it was the clerk's turn to he ar. raizned btare a_txial justice, The jue- tice foun im ovilty and fined $1.05 and added $42 costa, | The clerk hae taken tiognd counsel to fight the case in e har co rl p rt Orn urts.

New York, May 6. azo James Ludlow, whose deserted wife lives at No. 608 Monroe street, Hoboken, was a travelling agent for a Broadway business house, and was a model husband. Yesterday, when he entered the Monroe street house, dir- ty, ragged and unkempt, and, worst of all, intoxicated, his wife mistook him for a tramp, and had him ejected by a neighbor. He protested that he was her husband. At first she ridi sled his "pretensions, and, finally, w ---- he convinced her that his story was true, she said he had done her an irreparable injury. Ludlow -called on Sergt. Kipp, at + Hobaken police headquarters, but he refased to inter fere, and the rejected husband had no redress. For twenty years be t amp because he too ready to listen . to the malicious tongue of a woman. According to his story, one day a woman of his acquaintance ad vised him that his wife was miscon ducting herself. Later that dav he re proached his wife, who protested in uocence, and fell in a faint. He left her lying senseless on the floor, swearing never. again to enter the house, Later he discovered he had done his wife a cruel wrong, but, in the meantime, he had become a tramp, travelling over. the greater part of the United States.

The 'company finds the plan works well as the ship is far. removed from the storm ¢entre, and there is no trouble with the teamsters = or other classes of labor, It is under stood that the Dominien government will not send any more regulars here to replace the = militia, owing to the disinclination of the city to pay the expense. Coal carters have gone on strike in sympathy with the general strike of the teamsters. About 100 of them ars affected, besides another 100 general carters, Blakely and Lemieux, agents of the French-Canadian steamship line, non- members of the . shipping federation, went to the longshoremen to-day and had a conference, and made a request that they be allowed 100 men to un: logd the steamer Hector. They were willing to allow all the demands of strikers, but the latter replied that if apy men go back to work they must all go, and the Hector did not get the men. Generally speaking there is no change in the 'situatioh, and Loth sides scem determined to hold out. The steamship agers in this city have received cable instructions from the owners in. England not to give in to the striking 'longshoremen under any consideration. There is reported to be much dissatisfaction among the militia_owing to notice haviag been received of the necessity of keeping them on. duty a considerable time longer. * rm ------ INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.
