CHICKEN SHooTING.-M. Editor; short time
since l noticed in your columns a paragraph show
ing our disapprobation of the cruelty OF pigeon
shooting. think you will admit there is some
thing in it approaching fairplay ii you take in com

day last, in one of the vacant lots mob had col
lected in the chivalrous sport OF worrying chick
ems. When arrived the owner OF the chickens
was disputing with man whether the bird was
dead at which he had Just shot. (ltaPpears when
the poor bird can no longer stand 1t is considered
dead The owner of the bird Mt length succeeded
in getting it to stand, and certainly more wo
begone, forlorn specimen | never beheld 1t ap
pesred to have been struck in the leg and also
had wing broken, which was dragging on the
ground. Another aspirant stood up and hred the
bird again fell. l was in hopes he had succeeded
in killing it, but in a few moments saw 1t again
reinstated in its former position and another gun
shouldered. | turned away, sick at the sight, bat
returning home in half an hours time, judge my
surprise TO see the same lettering bird still mark
10 the inhuman spOrtsmen. Perhaps Mr. Editor
if YOU were to give "a reminder to those In the
habit of making chicken shooting sport you may
deter many from its pursuance, and so alleviate
the wrongs of this portion of the eathered tribe.

into a solution made from one ounce OF al1m and
two gallons of water, aud afterward dried In the
