let the deer through, then shall he go forth in ali
his native vigor, and hunt the deer!

Last summer company Of pleasure-seeking
gentlemen came from Rhode Island, cncamped in
the eastern section of the State, and set them
selves at work for campaign Of sporting. They
came with their dogs and expert guides. They
were SO elated with success that they published
their exploits in the newspapers We have seen
these records. OF the first achievements we find
these words; zone or two of the guides have
gone into the woods with the dogs, while We wait
and watch; thus lar we all have been fortunate
enough to get shot at and kill deer" Then
there is pretty description of campfe, Of the
hunt and chase, the excitement and thrill "when
the hounds are in full blast" The letter has this
neat paragraph:
II draw this to a close, as our hunt and trip is
ended The hunt has been very successful. Since
May last, seSeR deer have been killed two in one
day. and three at another day; two Of the party
have shot three; two have shot two, and the other
two, one each-making t,re!re in all The morn
ing that we broke camp, two canoe loads having
already gone. the canoe in which T was
came suddenly upon one. and it resulted in an
other deer being added to the number we expected
TO carry out"
And then the local paper, rejoicing the re-
turn of the law breakers, who have been proving
around in Maine, unlawfully shooting deer, states
that they have brought with them "a handsome
pair of deer which they had killed. The buck
weighed nearly three hundred pounds and the doe
was white
Now, we should like to know, what law
amounts to if it il to be broken in this OPEN
handed manners Suppose citizen Of own State
should start for the hunting grounds, with dogs
and guns, and should go up there without employ
ing whole retinue Of guides. he would be arrest
ed before he got to Bangor ON returning. But
gentlemen Of wealth can come in and employ as
guides those who live in the vicinity, and who will
receive "hush money" and agree not to prose-
cute; and then 60 forward in their depredations.
Let the game laws either be enforced or repealed.
If repealed, then the citizens of our own State
will have ar equal chance with strangers in secur-
ing the game while it lasts. But we trust that the
laws may be made more rigid by increasing the
fine, and also the reward of the informer, and
then enforced, and thus this Wholesale slaughter
prevented.
