4 New Jersey contemporary
relates that "a couple of Eliza
beth amateur sportsmen went
ont shooting recently, and
politely requested leave of a
large landowner to shoot rab-
bits on his property. This re-
quest was granted with a draw
back, however, that they
should shoot none of his pet
rabbits, and which were to be
recognized by having short
white tails Alas, those sports
put up rabbits by the hundred,
but when about to shoot saw
the private mark, the short
white tail and refrained. They
came home impressed with the
belief that all the rabbits on
that property were private
pets"

Wheat has turned out splendidly, corn is
luxuriant, and with plenty Of mast, how
in the world can there be any excuse for
hard times? Our people should dry all
their fruit, but We are afraid that too many
will neglect to do so. Work, unccasiug
work, should be the order of the day.
Heaven is helping us, and we should not
in consequence fail to give assistance.
And let lis urge that small debts be paid
as well as large ones, and thus get money
into circulation. We don't think. there
will be any reasonable excuse why a bal
ance-sheet should not be struck between
creditor and debtor very soon. Then
