HUNTING MAXIMS.

Al the request of friend who was so good as
to be pleased with our observations Yesterday oc-
casioned by the untimely fate of fine youth,
LeCis Haruie. which had not happened if pre-
caution had been observed, unless fatalism had
doomed him, theory which we hope all reject
in this enlightened age We lay down few
rules for those who indulge in field sports
|. Hunt with no man who keeps his piece or
dinarly cooked: He is cockney, ignorant of
the mode Of handling his piece, and who may
very well shoot whole field i'm order to get
first shot, 10 bag the first bird. Such man ia
dangerous, both from his ignorance, and yet more
from his conceit.
2 When you load your piece, never pour the
powder from the flask: Pour it first into the
palm of your left hand When poured into the
gun from the flask, the usual mode, it needs but
that fragment of tow or wad should be left burn.
Ing by the previous discharge, to ignite the whole
flask, and to produce tragedy.
3. In field, never raise your gun even, when
you have To point IN the direction of one of the
party. IL the bird flies in the direction of some
one who may be endangered, do not raise it TO
take aim upon the bird, because if you do, you
will place yourself under an impulse, an mex
pcable tntdtuation to fire, whether or not This
we have seen exemplifed hundred times and
with men of all sorts of emperaments and dispo
siions: The rule of safety is not TO put Yourself
under temptation by bearing upon the bird: If
you do, you are almost sure to fire, hurt whom it
may.
d. Keep your piece at the half cock, as gen.
eral rule: When you approach the birds nearly,
and expect them instantly to break cover then it
Is lawful to cock. but still to keep your thumb up
on the cock, and not to remit that control, until
you are assured of the safety of the field
D. No people are to be so much dreaded in
field lest they shoot you instead of the partridge,
as Cockneys from the towns: The towns have
many fine shots, but there muslin this matter.
be country drilling We should for example,
hold our life in imminent danger, TO hunt day
with Sergeant Crane of the Star
p. We were requested information upon an
other point, as to Old Virginia rules, namely. as
to how game counts: The rules used to be
these: partridge |. Hare l. Woodcock g.
SnlPe /. Squirrel /. Blue tailed hunting hawk
3. with claim to chicken pie) Large Owl
Z. Wild Turkey, Duck or Goose g. These
only were game, for there were no deer.

GRANDFATHER TALE OF EARLY
TIMES,
BY MRS. LAWSON.

You see, it was beautiful country then. The
frohller OF Inc Od dominion, the now Culpepper
county, was as one vast flower garden. Very
little clearing had been done, and wherever the
plough had not obtruded the whole surface was
beautifully enamelIed with daisies, violets, and
all the elegant varieties which characterize the
native growth of the ouisretchng prairies in our
loved west
NO exotlcs were here, neither were they des-
rabe, for the balmy air of this region was during
a, great part OF the year, loaded with perfume
from the exuberant growth of indegious plants
And then the woods-oh, you may never see a
land as this, my native landed, in its primitive
freshness and beauty. You might list the live
long day to the singing of the birds in the wild
green wood, with which it was literally filled,
without ever being able to decide which was the
most perfect manifestation of beauty, the dazzling
varieties of FURNISHED plumage OF the budding and
blooming of the wild forest trees
l have said there were no exotics--no nature
here exhibited more than ample munifcence
here she had sOwn the sweetest flowers and
planted the noblest trees. There were MINGLED
the gurgling of waters and rusting of forests
on the mountain side; and if the wild deer, paz-
ing, startled, shudderod, and then fed even with
greater speed than before it was not the roar of
winds nor waters, but the new log cabin and its
happy occupants that quickened his energies and
sent his life blood cOursng more rapidly through
his veins. And here among the early settlers
were noble spirits; here were good men and true,
brave men, whose deeds of noble daring have
never become matter Of history. But our infant
settlement in lis incipient state contained great
variety Of character. If we had many men of
sterling courage, we had craven hearted towards,
too.
The circumstance am about to relate occurred
in the Spring of 1856. Our family, before me.
had personal knowledge Of the whole affair. 4
family by the name of Blankenship had son. At
the period of which speak, fine locking youtb
Of twO-and.twenty. There was also in the set
Element young and beautiful girl of sixteen.
whose name Mary Wilson She was the
cynosure Of all eyes, the belle Of the county. or
this fair being young Bakensbp became eoa-
incurred, and by his uuremiltiDg attentions he sue
ceeded in gaining her affections, so that the bold
lads of the settlement, seeing themselves com-
plelely ecpsed by young b., reluctantly one bv
Une, ceased TO make their former efforts to secn,o
the smiles of the lovely maiden, and b bocorno
the acknowledged lover Of Mary Wilson T.,,o
one Saturday evening, as Mr. Wilson ca,s in,,
his cabin, he found his wife and DAUGHTER Ma
earnestly engaged in conversation.
j think, husband, Mary can't do better, s,id
Mrs. Wilson. We have no boys, and ralev
feel like having some purection fur us all when
you're gone; and then we have power of work
TO do, and you know there's no better hand in the
settlement than Jimmy Blankenship. And then,

EFFECT ON THE MARKET.

The effect of the last foreign news on the provi
sion market. has been rapid advance on flour
and grain. Flour, in New York had gone up to
81 and it was thought would reach So. before
the close of the month. Corn was quoted at IS
