THE MOORS AND FORES7S.

PERTHSHIRE.
A correspondent of the Scotsman writes :
" The accounts from all the shooting quarters
report the grouse and other game to be very nu-
merous, in excellent condition, with few unsized
birds, and all the grouse very wild and strong on
the wing. The great quantity of rain which fell,
after the 12th, with the heavy gales of wind, have
had the effect of rendering the birds shy and unap-
proachable ; besides, the adverse weather has
caused the birds to pack much earlier than usual.
Some of the yonng birds are as plump and fat as
the old ones. Some-sportsmen report that for seve-
ral days in the beginning of the season they could
not get at the birds; others report that there are
numerous packs on the higher grounds. The large
transmission of game•boxes show the superior sport
enjoyed on the best ranges. It is estimated that
about 30,000 head of game have been bagged in
Perthshire since the 12th. In Logiealmond the Earl
of Mansfield had splendid sport during the few days
he was out, bagging from 200 to 300 head of game,
including roedeer, hares, and snipes. Mr. Patten,
of Glenalmond has enjoyed first-rate sport on his
runs, Three days last week the following were his
numbers :-30 brace, 351 brace, 12 brace, the latter
being only for half a day. At Cromlix Viscount
Dupplin, the Hon. Captain Drummond, and the
Hon. Captain Hay killed about 500 head of game
in three days last week, including black game,
snipes, plover, and blue hares. The Earl of Cam-
perdown, on his range on the Ochils, had from 20
to 30 brace of grouse, besides other gems, during
his 10 days' stay there, and about the same number
have been got daily since. At Carim Mr. Edmunds
has good sport, ^aving had about 6GO head of game
since the season opened. General Campbell and
Major Campbell killed from the 14th to the
21st, in Strathbraan, 200 head of game, with-
out being constantly out. Mr. Peel and party
(three guns) bagged 758 head of grouse in
three days in Rannoch. The grouse rose fully a
1 hundred yards before the pointers. Major Cook has
killed two fine stags in Gaick forest. At Lochgarry
Sir William Alexander's shooting, two guns, had
118 head of grouse on the 13th. On several of the
best runs in that quarter there has been poor sport,
owing to the wildness of the grouse and the stormy
weather, the sportsmen taking about half their usual
bags. At Balhaldie, on the Ochils, from 25 to 30
brace have been bagged on several occasions. A num -
bet of very young birds were found there, which could
only fly 20 or 30 yards. Mr. Lawes killed a fins Royal
stag at Craiglodge last week. At Glenlochay (apt.
Elate has had very cheering sport, having from 60 to
130 head of game for every full day's shooting. All
the sport on the Grampian range has teen as good as
was expected. On the extensive moors of Glen turret
Mr. Muir and Mr..Lumsden have bagged about 1,000
head of game since the season commenced, 35 brace,
42, 44, and 50 brace being some of the days' sport
for each gun. White and blue hares are very
numerous. Lord Tredegar and Mr. Williamson
killed nine blue hares and 18 blackcock at Lawers
in one day. On two or three days out they had
356 head of game. At Ashintully two guns killed
382 grouse, 10 black game, and 12 hares in a fort-
night, on ,000 acres of moor, and with the grouse
very wild.

" OBAN.
" From the large transmission of game-boxes
from the north by the Highland steamess it is in-
ferred superior sport is enjoyed. Around this the
grouse shooting is good, many making 30 brace in
five or six hours. Black game, pheasants, and
partridges are numerous. As usual at this season,
there are many stray stags on the hills. The deer-
stalking in the forests in this reportedcountyiysears.Deer

and another adjoining island belonging to the
Craiguish estate, where there are some fine planta-
tions. They are getting on very well in their island
home, and are becoming quite numerous. A few
are taken every year.

CRIEFF.
"It is now four weeks since the shooting season
opened, and notwithstanding the wet and unsettlei
state of the weather which prevailed the first eight
days, the sport as a whole has been the best which
has occurred for
many years in this neighbourhood
for all kinds of game.
At Auchnafree, 1,500 brace
o 1 grouse have been killed since Aug. 12, in 22 days,
besides a large number of blackcock, hares, and other
game. At Connachan and Monzie 900 brace of grouse
have been bagged by two guns, besides hares, rab-
bits, roedeer, &c. At Glenturret Messrs. Lumsden
and Muir shot 1.000 brace of grouse, and 100 head
of hares and snipe. On the Perth estates three
guns have killed 2,000 brace of grouse and a large
quantity of wild ducks, hares, roedeer, &c. Toe
sport of partridge-shooting has been good the last
few days. On a farm on Friday afternoon two
guns killed 45 brace and 20 hares ; and as soon as
the grain fields are totally cleared rare sport will
be enjoyed.

ITHE LAW OF LANDLORD AND TENANT IN
FRANCE.--The Civil Tribunal of the Seine, on Saturday,
decided a case of some importance to lessees. M. Chevreuil,
three years since, took s house at St. Mande, belonging to
three brothers named Tuvillon. The lease was for three,
I six, or nine years, and contained the following clause :
" It is agreed that in case the lessors or lessee may wish to
put an end to the lease six months' notice shall be given."
On the 14th of November last, at the expiration of one of
the periods, one of the brothers gave M. Chevreuil notice
to leave on the 14th of May following. The lessee dis-
puted the right of one lessor to cancel a lease made by
three ; but the juge de pair decided that the lease must be
considered void, since it required the consent of all three to
continue it. Chevreuil appealed against that decision,
ani the Tribunal, after hearing counsel on both sides, de-
cided that the lease is valid for the whole nine years, unless
the three brothers give joint notice of their intention to put
an wad to it.
