Projection TO GANE-The Legislature of
Ohio has passed law for the protection Of the
birds, &C., which makes it fneable offence for
any one to kill rabbit, deer, or any of the
fcathered tribe mentioned between the lst of
February and the 18th of September, or to kill a

gers named, at any time. The boys who 60 out
"hunting,' says the Cincinnati Commercial, du-
ring the spring and summer, and who sometimes
manage to kill meadow lark or "aicker,"
should notice that the amusement may prove
rather an expensive one. The law includes
sparrows, robins, blue.bird, swallows, meadow
larks, martins, thrush, mocking bird orioles, red
birds, and cat-birds-so humanity has q show rs
well as policy. 1t was broad and generous
consideration not to forget even the sparrow anda
worthy imitation of that Divine care which is
not Indifferent even to the fall of one of them.

TIE POISONING At WASHINGTON is now
believed that not less than seven hundred per.
sons have been seriously and dangerously affect
ed by the National Hotel poison, at Washington,
and some twenty or thirty deaths have occurred
in consequence. There are still several persons
very seriously i'll in New York, whose recovery
| is doubtful. Among others, the Hon. Robert j.
Walker is not yet entirely recovered from his
severe attack. Senator: Hale, of New Hamp-
shire, has become thin, lean man, under its
revages. 1t is now the opinion Of many persons,
that there was deliberate purpose to poison

A VALUABLE HrNT.-In speaking of the fruit
prospects in that particular locality the Colum-

that our market next summer, will be abundant

who counteracted the influence of cold and frost
by building fires under his trees. 1t is supposed
that the smoke from the fires counteractcl the

DEATH FROM HYDRopuoBIA.-A death from
that horrible disease-hydrophobia occurred in
Philadelphia Wednesday, the victim being
child only seven years Of age. The bite was
inflicted some two months since, and the insidi-

days. The dog was shot Immediately after the

Miraculous CrRE-The Savannah Georgian,

CONCEALED WrArONs-Thcre arc two things
which gentlemen never do one is writing anon
ylnous letters the other is carrying concealed
weapons. Of course, there arc occasions when
Il man, knowing that he is to be attacked, may
fairly carry weapons which he does not display.
But no gentleman habitually srcretes knives and
pistols about his person unless he lives among
savages or wild beasts
The reasons for this arc obvious. 1t is m cn.
tirely unfair advantage, not only physically! but
morally for man will not be likely to restrain
his tongue or his temper when he knows that
he has the means of efectuallr silencing his op-
ponent-and knows also that his opponent can
not possibly be aware of that fact. 1t was all
fair and right enough when every gentleman
openly wore his sword at his side. Certainly it
wls bad enough then, but there was nothing
concealed But to hide your knife and pick
quarrel, or to engage in quarrel, knowing that
you have knife hidden, is rs bad as inviting
your enemy to drink wine which you have poi.
soned.
Decent society is not possible upon such terms.
We are all so purely unchristian and pctulent
that anything which serves to unbridle our
tongues and Loose our wrath, rs concealed wcap-
ons inevitably..do, postponcs and postpones any
happier day.
