HUNTING ON ANoTHER's I.ANDs.-We have
been requested to publish the following law Of
Virginia in reference to hunting on other per-
sons lands. We cheerfully comply with the
request, and call attention to the immense dis
truction of birds incident to the violation of
this enactment. There is no more useful bird
to the farmer and fruit grower, especially, than
the robin. ''Robin Red Breast'' is the impla-
cable enemy of all insects and by his industry
protects the fruit trees Of the farm and the
yard and garden from the ravages Of worms and
insects in a degree that few would believe, I'M
less they take the care to watch and examine.
Yet this innocent bird, at this season of the
year, is hunted and killed by the hundreds
merely for the sport fit. 1t ought to be stop
ped, aud can be by the enforcement Of the law.
Section 5th, chapter 90, Code Of 1873, provides:
s'If any person shall hunt, shoot, fowl or
range, with or without dogs, OH the lands of
another, without the consent OF the owner or
tenant of such lands, or shoot along any public
road or in the streets Of any town or village, in
any of the counties of this Common wealth, on
the lands comprehended in the survey of any
proprietor, he shall be deemed guilty of a tres
pass, and shall be fined for each offence five
dollars, the fine to be doubled in every instance
if the offence be committed in the night or on
Sunday, for the use of the owner or tenant of
the lands, and for the Commonwealth when
the offence is committed in the public roads or
in the streets of any town or village. to be re-
covered by warrant before any justice of the
peace, together with all costs and charges at
tending the collection Of the same; and shall.
moreover forfeit rs aforesaid, his gun and
shooting apparatus and his dog or dogs shall
be killed if the ustice shall, in his discretion.
so order; and when any person shall be con-
victed third time of said offence, the justice
rendering judgment therefor shall require them
to enter into recognizance, with sufficient Sc
eurity, for his good behavior fortwclve months;
or if he fail to give such security to commit
him to jail for one month, unless it be sooner
given, sucli recognizance to be forfeited if such
person offend as aforesaid within the time linn
tied in the recognizance.''

far more fatal than the epizootic, has broken
out among the horses in different places A
staggering gait and loss OF appetite, accom-

MAIL CARRIERS.-Asm misrepresentation may
grow out OF communication published in the
Spectator Of the 10Th, signed Sufferer we
append the Regulation OF the Post Office De-
partmcnt bearing upon the point alluded to-
There is nothing in tile post Office laws or reg
ulatons, nor in the usage OF the departments SO
far as we know, to justify the assumption that
mail carrier is :srequired'' to ''carry and de-
liver letter to Mr.. A. or b. Post offices are
established for the delivery Of letters, aud not
post route carriers of the kind Sufferer
designates. We will remark further that car
riers assume heavy responsibility in underta-
king to carry letters outside the mail, and
might subject themselves to complaints which
their regular, legal duties could not possibly
impose. There is no common sense or justice
in any such requirement, and for this reason
we ito not believe the department would arbi-
tr;lrily rule that they should take all or even
any letters in the manner set forth by. ''Sutfer

Section $40 of the post office regulations pro-

was surrounded by bevy OF little children,
whose innocent eyes were strained into set
stare to behold the instr uctive and pleasing
entertainment of seeing a negroes neck broke
at the end of a rope. The motley gathering,
nothing abaslted or discounted by having to
give way to the little innocents, jostled and
pushed and made coarse, unfeeing jokes in
manner that would have done credit to the
habitues Of Bowry or the Five Points, and
with an exhuberance of ardor at the splendid
spectacle of negroes carcass dangling between
heaven and earth, awaited with impatient in
ter:st the final catastrophe. Through all this
encouraging scene, Griffin stood upon the scat
fold, chewing tobacco, squirting amber, and
watching with feeling solicitude the enthusiasm
he had, for once in his life, been successful in
creating.
The gushing septimentalism of such scene.
with its anomalous and suggestive s,trround-
nigs, was heightened into the sublimity OF sac
rificial tragedy. as the candidate for glory, in
full, swelling, rolling, musical notes, sent floa-
ting ous upon the air and into the ears OF The
spell-bound visitors, the death bed hymn, COM
menclng, Nearer my Cod to Thee" There

peroration. We can well imagine, however,
that the old, tottering piece of humanity, sit
ting OH his fence post, developed i'll his shroud

to the highest pitch of curiosity, their tender
feelings warned by the magnetic influence Of
song, had clearer conception Of the power Of
the gospel that could and did thus transport
