THE GAME LAw.--The Hartford delegation
in the Legislature are considering the details
of law for the better protection and preser-
walton of cartridges, rabbits, squirrels, &C.
1t is probable that the time for killing par
tridges will be shortened two weeks at the
close of the season, and commence two weeks
earlier, that is from the 1st of October to the
LIST of January instead of from the 18th of
October to the 10Th of January. 1t is urged
that before the 18th of October the birds first
Matched are full-grown and migrate, leaving
only the smaller ones to be killed, and that
after the 1st of January, great slaughter takes
place among them, especially when snow is
on the ground. Rabbits will probably be
protected with cartridges, and the law will
provide that squirrels shall be killed only be-
tween the 1st of June and 1st of January.

All the signs of the times at Washington
point to the certainty of the -monetization
of silver. Whether the new silver dollar will
be coined of the valuation of ninety two
cents only, or contain gold dollars worth
of silver, is yet an open question. In view
of the certainty that silver will be made n
legal tender, it is curious to observe that the
premium OH gold is not in the least affected
thereby In New York on Monday, gold
opened at 1921 and closed at 1902.

The New York Herald points out the
fact that if the Bland silver dollar, worth on,
ly ninety cents, is made unlimited legal ten
der, counterfeiters can initiate it, using gen.
uine silver for the purpose, and make large
profit thereby. The remedy for this would
be to put dollars worth of silver in the new
dollar.

CANDLEMAs DAY,-Last Saturday, Febru-
airy Cd, was Candlemas Day, or the festival of
the presentation of the infant Saviour in the
Temple by the Blessed Virgin. An old dis
itch says of this day:
of Candlemas day be dry and fair,
The half o. winters to come and MAR;
If Caudlemas day be wet and foul
The half o. winters game at Yule."
The day was called Candlemas, because the
Virgin Mary was the mother of the True
Light.
The I'd of February is also known as
Ground Hog Day, because, according TO a
popular superstition, the ground hog is sup
posed to leave his burrow regularly on this
day. If he sees his shadow he returns to his
winter quarters and resumes his nap
for six weeks longer, during which time Sc
we're weather may be expected. If he docs
not see his shadow he shakes himself stays
out and attends to his business, whatever that
may be, and good weather is sure to follow.
Last Saturday there was in the morning some
prospect that he would not be able to see his
shadow, but about noon the sun came out.
According to the above predictions, we may
expect winter weather for six weeks TO
come.

A MALICIOUS AoT.-Last Sunday morning
Charles w. Lee, who lives near Abingdon,
went to VIM. T. Hamilton's stable, on Mr.
Thomas w. Halls place, where he kept his
horse, and found the animal dying from loss
ofblood, caused by a terrible gesh on the lower
jaw. AS nothing could be found 10 prove
that the horse was accidentally hurt, it is sup
posed the stable was entered before daylight
and the animal maliciously cut by some evil
disposed person. This supposiion is further
strengthened by the fact that blood was found
in the feed room, 10 or 10 feet distant. There
were 10 other horses in the stable, none of
which were hurt. Mr.. Lee has but one arm,
is poor man, and depended upon his horse
10 aid him in supporting large family.

THE SCHOOL FUND DISTRIBUTION Sen,
ator Bannon had q conference last week with
the association of School Commissioners re-
lative to the bill he proposes to offer to de-
clare legal the distribution of the school fund
by Combtroler Woolford. A correspondent
of the Gazette says
Mr. Bannon said he was friend to public
schools. and had good reason to be one, rs he
owed his progress in life to the education he
received at the schools of Kent county. But
the fact of them being so popular had, he
thought, undoubtedly been presumed upon to
manage them in many cases extravagantly
When he entered the school board of Anne
Arundel county he found it necessary to ad
vertise for persons to present and prove their
claims to know what the debt was, and ascer-
tanned it to be $50 900. The commissioners
themselves did not krow there was q grow
ing feeling against the present system of
keeping the accounts and handling the school
fund. The people want to know more ex-
plicitly what becomes of their money and
whether their children receive the benefit, or
whether it was used mostly to keep the ma
chnery by which the schools are managed
going. He opposed such large expenditures
for high schools and colleges, and thought
the common schools should be better sup
ported. He would certainly do all in his
power to prevent the taking from the treas
nry the 100000 claim d by the boards, as he
believed, first that the State could not pay it
now, and second, because it was not due.
The commissioners also had conference
with the committee on education, at which
all the laws relating to schools were very gen.
orally discussed Some urged the expectancy
nfhaving the school commissioners elected
by the people, while others favored the law
rs it stands The question of allowing the
State Superintendent of education TO be a
member of the State school board was also
commented upon with a view 10 the enact
mcnt of n prohibitory law.

1t is reported at Washington that if the
members of the Louisiana Returning Board
are convicted, it is the intention of the au-
thorities of Louisiana to indict Secretary
Sherman and all others alleged to be implca-
ed in the conspiracy to secure the electoral
votes of Louisiana for Hayes. 1t is also
stated that disconnected Republicans are
mainly responsible for these prosecutions
In the mean time Chief Justice Joe Bradley,
of Electoral Commission notorety, has re-
fused to grant the writ of certiorari, for the
transfer of the cases to the United States
Court. Mr.. Bradley evidentaliy thinks a
stop must be put to rascality somewhere, and
that no better examples could he found to
impress the public with the fact that honesty
is the best policy, than the Returning Board

ST. VALENTINES DAY-The festival of
st, Valentine, which will occur next Thurs
day, had its origin in ancient times 1t is
said to have been Pagan custom in Rome,
at this season of the year, for the men TO
draw from box the names of young women
to be their companions for the year. In the
time of Shakespeare, Also the valentines, male
or female, were chosen by lot and were ex-
pected TO make some kind of presents to the
ones who chose them. These presents were
frequently verses, but were sometimes vaua-
BILE Baskets of jewels. The tickets bearing
the name of the Valentine were worn upon
the breasts of those who drew them, but
were sometimes sent to the chosen fair one
and the transition from the custom of send
tickets, verses and presents 10 that of sending
ing printed valentines would be very sim
pie one. The practice of sending buresque
verses no doubt arose from the homogeneous
choice of valentines made when the choice
was left to chance drawings. The present
custom is quite meaningless and seems TO
have lost even the few merits Of the Pagan
festival from which it originated.
