The GAME LAw.-The communication
which we publish this week from our
" Indignant Correspondent" is rather
sharp, but it has "the ring of the true
metal" and comes from highly respect
able source. There is nothing more cx-
asperating to the true sportsman, than
the indiscriminatc slaughter of game out
of season, and that, too, when the State
has so wisely provided for its protection.
Unless the Game Law is strictly enforced
very few years will witness its entire
determination in this region.

Nor CHATTEL MORTGAGE. - The
Supreme Court in a case before it on
Wednesday last, decided that an instru-
ment in writing given by debtor to his
creditor, empowering him, on default be-
ing made in payment, "to take immediate
possession" Of the debtors stock ofgoods,
and all notes, accounts and account books
belonging to him, and the buildings and
premises in which he may be doing bust
ness, and authorizing him "out Of such
property so taken possession of, to sell so
much thereof as will pay" the debt and
the creditors charges for services, and
re-deliver the balance to the debtor, is
not a chattel mortgage, but naked pow
err, not coupled with any present interest
and which cannot operate to give the
creditor any rights in the property, until
reduced to possession. - State Journal,

yAacrNAnoS.-Dr Adams, in his dis

Sqcicty, on tie subject of Vaccination,
presents some conclusions respecting that
subject which are both rational and of
practical value. IL is, be says, of the ut
most Importance that the first vaccination
should be performed with greet care; that
il the susceptibility to receive smallpox
is once extinguishcd in the system, it re-
mains 80, and rc-vaccinat;on is snperau-

this susceptibility is extinguishcd, vaccin-

produces any specific effect; especially
when the first operation has been por-
formed at an carly age, during dcntition,
or when diseased diathcsis existed.

for the purpose of inducing Queen Victoria
either to sell or quietly relinquish her claim to
Canada in favor of the United States, Mr..
Simpson has given notice of the following
motion in the Canadian Parliament
address to her Majesty the Queen Pray
ing, that in the event of receiving any propo-
sition from the Congress of the United States
for the acquisition of British North America,
or any portion thereof, her Majesty will be
graciously pleased to reply, that considerations
connected with the happiness of the human
race in general, and with the well-being and
liberties of North America in particular, for
bid the idea of acceding thereto; but that IN
order to show her Majesty's appreciation OF
the trading propensity of Congress, and the
willingness to indulge it so far as is consistent
with the feeling and interest of her subjects
in North America, the Queen is prepared to
receive a proposition for the acquisition by
Canada of the states of Maine and Michigan,
or either of them"

sex, Parker of Worcester in support of the
bill, and Messrs. Reed of Plymouth, Evans of
Essex, Boynton of Suffolk, and Iilton OF Es-

amended by providing that no man shall be
fined for drunkenness except as a common
drunkard. The bill was then ordered to

The act has the same objection as that which

change in a material degree the basis of enrol |
