In several Of our Exchanges are notices
of the destruction of Deer and other game.
This ought not to be so. Game Laws
ought not to be necessary in any State
because a sportsman should know when is
a suitable time to take the Inhabitants Of

LIST, particularly with the SHOWS we have
had, the skin of deer is worth As much
about, as ashect of paper; its meat is lean
and uupalatable, and if doe, it is quite
probably with young. The depth Of the
snow, and the very heavy crust about
half way down to the ground, obliges the
poor deer to kecpin the paths and rosd.
and it is said to be difficult to get them out
Of a beaten track. How cruel then to take
advantage of the necessities of the limo
cent creature when its destruction is nei.
ther necessary nor even profitable t.
you. When deer trusts his natural en-
envy, man, rather than try the cutting ic,
in an unbroken road, instead of shooting
him we would give "half the ROAD as thu
law directs. a3@ aEE&

MELANCHOLY CHRITNAs.--Whi the
most Of our citizens, on the evening of
the s5.h, were happy in being surround
ed with creature comforts, and smiling
faces. an index of light and merry hearts,
ou~ little family in our midst, at the very
moment when happiness should have been
perfected, were thrown into CONSERVATION
and despair by a sudden and unexpected
stroke from the hand Of death We refer
to IL family Of Mr.. John Gould. who
came to his death on the Fox River Valley
Railroad, whore he was employed. BY con-
TACT with the bridge near Crystal Lake, he
being at the. time on the top of the cars.
His wife. a sister of Mr.. R. o. Old of this
city. had solicited him on that morning
not to leave home, it being Christmas
dav, but he being dependent upon his
labor thought it best to go. She, in the
meantime. made every arrangement for a
happy return. She heard the arrival of
the cars-her table was spread with smok-
ing dclicacies-she heard step at the
door, and, with her smiling infant, in their
best array. sprang to the open door, pre-
senting, as our informant says, one Of the
most beautiful and happy sights that could
meet the eye; when they were obliged to
dash the cup of bliss from her hand just
As it was raised to their lips, by informing
them that he, whose embrace they expcc-
ted that moment to enjoy, was himself
in the embrace of death. Oh, what a
moment for frail humanity! What tran
sition from hope to despair! She sunk
under the bcreaving stroke, and stiA re-
fuses to be comforted. Alas by how frail
a tenure do we hold the happiness of this
world, and how are We admonished not to
indulge. only 80 far az it has connection

Mr. Knibbs spent thenights in the snow.

travelled as best he could in the day time.
Three times he came to his horse, but the
drifting snow had so filled his tracks that
he WAS not aware Of them. He was with

GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF JERusALEM.-
The Jerusalem correspondent of the Boston
Post graphically describes the ruin and desc.
late condition of the Holy City. He says:
"The womeT, clothed from head to foot in
white sheets, with their faces concealed by
black veil, resembling SO many ghoules Just
arisen from the subterranean abodes; more
especially as they have great fancy for cem-
elerles, where thev daily congregate to howl.
No sound Of youth; there are no BOYS in the
Streets no sound of wheels; there are no car
riages; the dogs, NANCY and woIfish, snarl and
snap when you disturb them, their daily work
Ms scavengers, and make the livelong night
hideous with their contentious; the very birds
do not sing, but cry to each other with dis
consonant chirp, or complain with harsh
murmur.
From the horrors of the city, if we pass to
the environs, we find naught but bare rocks
around; stones and dust beneath; the bright
sun. reflected from every object, burns into
the brains; no grass, no trees, no green thing:
the promenades are cemeteries the seats nre
whited sepulchres. Here have been buried
whole generations of Jews; here are the bones
of the Assirian, the Egyptian, the Chaldean,
the Persian, the Greek, the Syrian, the Sara
cen, the Crusader, the Turk. In fine, Jerusa.
lem is nanght but "heap" of msulderng

s@- The New York Courier of the 10th
inst. says. We learn that there are large or
ders in this city from England for breadstuffs
at limited prices. These prices, owing to
the unfortunate stringency in money affairs,
have been reached and even shade lower.
The prospect is that there will be- more
active export of -four and grain than was an.
ticipated, and thus furnish substitute for
the current shipments of gold.
