Protection Of Game.
CHATHAM, July 8, 1873.

CHATHAM, July 8, 1878.
Mr.. EDIroR:-I wish you would call
attention to the provisions of Chapter
156, Laws of the 18th General Assem-
bly,, relative to the taking of fur game.
1t is becoming necessary for US to pro-
tect our game against wholesale slaugh-
ter, and to enforce the game laws. I'm
less we make speedy and determined
stand, the day is not far distant when
we shall have no game to protect. The
old proverb, ''To hesitate is to be lost, y
is nowhere more truly applied than in
regard to the protection of game. The
longer we delay the fewer will be the
game, and the smaller the basis upon
which to restock the country. Sports
men who will not allow personal graf
ifcation to influence them in regard to
a measure which they believe to be for
the public good, will see this question
in the right light, and they will use their
influence to induce their less open
hearted brethren to act with them, even
at the cost of personal qualification.
The benefit to be derived in the future,
and the consciousness of doing right,
will be ample reward. That success
may be with us is the hope of
Yours truly, G. w. d.

manner that could not but thrill the

We understand that one or two persons have
done a good deal of cursing of us in conse-
quence OF Our article concerning the tragedy;
and further that contemporary was ready with
shOtted guns, but concluded to reserve fire.
Now. in all kindness, we advise them to keep
~. If they don't believe it, let them ask pub
lie opinion. Conservative.
Presuming that the above reference
is to the BULLETIN, we desire to say
that our neighbor has been imposed up
on. The BULLETIN has never had the
least desire to enter or provoke a con-
troversey over the sad tragedy of last
week. Such a course, in our opinion,
would be- shockingly out of character
and unjusti6able on any grounds. There
is no call for the vindication of anybody
connected with the sorrowful affair, and
the effort would not prove satisfactory
if attempted. So the best thing to do
is to suffer it to drop into oblivion. The
BTLLETIN, like every member of the
community, has had its theory of the
tragedy, but it is not at all solicitous
that its theory shall be backed by pub
lie opinion" Let the dead rest in their
graves, and let their faults be covered
by the broad mantle of forgetfulness.
