The Game Iaw-From the twentieth
day of October to the fifteenth day of JAN
uary, is the time fixed by law for the shoot
ing and trapping of cartridges. AS the
time is near at hand, we presume it will
not be long before our friends of sporting
propensities will be "trying their luck"
at bagging this favorite game. For the
benefit of those concerned, we give below
that portion of the law on the subject
"No persons shall trap, shoot, Or in any
manner catch or kill any cartridges be-
tween the fifteenth day of January and
the twentieth of October; nor any wood
cock between the first day of February
and the tenth day of June; nor any pleas
ants between the first day Of February and
the twelfth day of August, in each year"
The Lecture SeasOn.-The Lecture sea-
son is fast approaching. Are the people of
Elkton to have the moral and intellectual
entertainment of a course of lectures offered
to them this winter? The taste for lectures
has to be cultivated, and those who have
the improvement of our citizens at
heart should be willing to make some
sacrifices to promote taste for the popu-
lar lecture. The lecture will not take
like ''monkey show or circus with
the rabble, but will steadily gain ground as
the taste of the public becomes cultivated
by familiarity with this species of public
entertainment.
If a proper effort is made, we think a
sufficient fund can be procured by sub
scriptions to insure the committee from
loss, and perhaps profit may be made out
of the venture, if judcious selection is
had, and the lectures placed ten days OF
two weeks apart. The last course we had
was completely spoiled by crowding. If a
lecturer can't be got for the night he is
wanted, and no arrangement can be made
for a sufficient time between lectures to
elapse, it is better to let him slide. A few
first-class lectures is better than double the
number of make shifts.
Every moral and intellectual entertain
ment that is placed before the public, serves
to alevafa and IoaI in
