OF Tuesday LAST
A Coon MovF.-We publish this
week call signed by number Of citi-
zens, for meeting of the friends of the
Birds and Fishes of the county, to be
held at the Court House in Charlestown,
on Friday, June lst, at o'clock, L. NJ,
for the purpose of organizing Society
or Club, having in view the enforce.
ment of the laws of the State enacted
for the protection of game, fishes and
insectivorous birds.
The penalties for the violation OF the
laws referred to are pretty severe, en-
bracing both fines and imprisonment.
But these laws, so beneficial to the
agricultural and horticultural interests
of the people of the county, will not be
enforced without the aid of some such
society as is contemplated by the gen.
tlemen who are about to organize the
humanitarian society referred to in this
paper, and which it is hoped will be copl.-
ed by the other papers OF the courtyard
that the most extended invitation De
given to the persons especially effected
by the yearly accumulation of injurious
insects which destroy the fruits and
crops of the people, but which make
food for the birds. But If the birds be
killed and their nests destroyed, the in
sect world will increase, So with the
fishes; they make food for man, and
this society will probably have in view
the memorialzing Of the law making
powers to open avenues OF ingress and
ecress for the fishes to ascend the
streams to spawn. Let Congress re-
move the distractions at the falls on
the Potomac and Shad and Herring
will be caught in the Shenandoah and
others rivers flowing into the Potomac.
But this is not all the society viii
have to do; it may add to all this the
incubation of q taste for the study of
national history. A mere glance at
nature, and the Divine laws regulating
it, will inspire any one not solely wed
ded to the drudgery of life with desire
for more thorough knowledge OF its
grandeur. 1t may also add much that
is social, and, even convivial, if it
chooses so to do. Let there be full
turnout of the people on Friday, June
lst, at the Court House,-Spi'ii.
