6xirr Huxr1xo AT RocKLIN.-Ths old trick so
common in the Western Estates was revived at
Woodland year or two ago and now 1t has been
: vssy clsverly played again at Rocklin. 1t was
SSual in the West when q very smart, fast young
man came into utothe-ncighborhood for the boys to
"snlpe him. generally requiring him to hold the
1at II pond Of water about knee deep. The
trick never failed to render the "suiped" smart
ies tame, clever, accommodating fellows cver af-
ter white remaining in the village or settlement
The local Of the Union gives the particulars OF
the suipe hunt at Rocklin as follows: 1--WE have
been furnished the particulars of an extraordin-
ary .snipe hunt at Rocklin, in which man prom.
inently connected with the railroad office at that
place, whom swe will designate as "Stevcy,"
played promincrs part. 1t appears that two
or three Of the amateur sportsmen Of the town in
formed stevey in confidential way on Tuesday
that they bad found an excellent place for snipe,
and conGded 10 him what they represented to be
the modms sperawai II old buuters when they
sought 10 capture number Of the birds, viz: to
80 out at nj yht-the darker the night the better,
witha Xunny sack which, on arriving on the
ground to be hunted, one of the party would
bold open, after having light conveniently
placed 10 serve ns an attraction for the game,
which, ON being aroused by the other members
Of the party would run to the light as moth to
a candle, and directly into the sack Stevey
swallowed it all. 1t was agreed that the party
should go out Tuesday night to try this system
sf hunting, and 60 they did. Arriving at the
spot where the snipe were represented to be, the
other members of the party kindly agreed that
ASteveymight have the easiest portion OF the
vWerk-he should hold the sack while they went
round and scared up the birds. Accordingly
SNvcy was placed in position and warned to ex-
ercse due watchfulness, as there was no know
ing when the, game would come-it might be in
alsw minutes and it might not be for half an
hour The balance Of the hunters then left him.
and after going short distance, osensibly hunt
ing, they returned to town. leaving Stevey, soli-
tary and alone, watching for the snpe He was
faithful 10 his trust, and kept the light burning
for about two hours, when, finding that the sport
was inclined to be mono tonous. he returned to
town, where the broad smile with which be was
greeted on all sides convinced him, il he had not
felt any ntimations of it before, that be had been
badly. sold. When his friends ask him now
"How are you, Snipey" he feels that they are
making game Of him.
