Mr, Austin Corliiii has undertaken an en terprise unique In this country, but with ilenty of precedents abroad, and jwirtlcu arly In England, For months Ids agents havo Ihsmi engaged In buying up adjacent mountain farms In the township of Newport, N. II., and consolidating them In one vast park. Already Mr, Corblu has Imh?oiiio pos sessed of a compact tract of land containing 10,000 acres, mid ho Intends ultimately to no qulre as much more rocky nml forest covered realty. Around this little principality al- AUHTIN CORIim'S IIOUHK. ready obtained tho owner has put u high, strong fence, nml within tho Ixirrler thus formed bullalo, moose, elk nnd tho common ilis-r nxim at will, whllo tho woodcock nnd pnrtrldgo mnko tholr nests unsenred. It is in n word n magiilllceut gamo preserve, on which tho almost extinct hulmlo Is tho most Interesting feature, Mr. Corblu has sixteen flno specimens of tho American bison, Includ ing a throe months' old calf, and under the conditions surrounding them ho hopes to see their trllx) Increase. Tho park includes tho trnct known ns the Cornish mountain, nnd Its chief value, aside from tho rungo afforded to gamo, Is tho pres ence near the height of two Inrgo xmds fed by spring wntor. Mr. Corbln originally In tended to looato his park on tho Croydon mountain, but tho farmers of that region hold olf too long, thinking to got n largo prlco for inoir sierno ncres, Whllo they wero holding oil the millionaire Invested elsewhere. At the village of Northvillo, which Is on tho borders of tho domain, Mr Corblu has begun tho construction of two houses, ono of which will bo occupied by himself and the other by his daughter, Mrs. Edgell. The foundation of the former mansion Is on n rlss of ground gradually extending upward from tho river, and the house can bo seen for miles around when completed. Tho situ chosou Is that of tho old Corblu homestead, a portion of which Is still standing nnd will Is) preserved ns mi uniiox. Mrs. Edgell's house will lie lo cated half n mile from her father's. Iloth will bo ready for occilKinoy the coming stitn uior. Mr. Corbln's plan of gamo preservation In volves, of course, tho expenditure of n lnrgo sum of money, nnd Isoldes tho pormnnont outlay for laud, animals and houses, thero will bo n constant outlay for koeixTs. euro takers and latxirers to prevent pouching and look after tho varied Interests of tho oxteu sivo domain. y.ii,UTll ISImI1 TUB 11KUD OF BUFFALOES. Mr, Corblu, tho owner of tho park, hail a queer experience recently nt New York city. Ho lmx)rtod u lot of wines from Etiropo for use in tho summer resldouco among tho hills of Now Hampshire. When ho claimed thorn from tho custom house thoy could not be found, nml ho was told thoy had been stolon nt tho publlo storehouse. Ho w roto to Col lector Erhardt alxaut tho matter, ami received n letter in reply stating that wines nro somo times stolen at tho port of shlpmont, and tho thefts wrongfully charged to tho negligence of tho Now York custom house. Hut Mr. Erhardt adds that ho has no doubt losses are often sustained at tho latter place, and calls Mr. Corblu's attention to tho dllllculty under w lilch tho collector lalwrs in tho matter, ono of which is that there nro no trained dotect ives In charge of tho publlo stores. Two wero on duty there, but thoy lost their places, and tho vacancies havo not Imjoii filled.
