Female Archery.

The returns from the female archery CLUBS
of America for the season of 1879 are now all
in. We gather from them the following IN
teresting statistics, which indicate that TINS
branch of industry is in fourishing condition:
The target was hit during the season three
times out of possible 81, 100000. The rumor
that these three times were accidents is with
out foundation; 1874 of the archers have be-
come engaged to the young gentlemen VINO
were so kind as to teach them how to aim;
1910 other girls were sure they would also have
become engaged had it not been for these 2o14
The S940 do not hesitate to assert that the 2S74
took unfair advantages and were unbecomngly
forward The matter is to be brought to the
notice of the next national convention OF arch-
ers. During the year, 1874, 94S barn doors were
we'll hit. OF this number go, 474 appertaln to
harms situated less than a mile to the
right of the target, 92,474 to barns
situate less than that distance to the
left of the target The casualties OF the
fine wear were immaterial and considerably less
i'm number and severity than those OF the sea-
son of 1878. 1t appears from the returns tiao
only $50 COWS, eighteen horses, seven goatS,
five pigs eighty-two small boys and 23,12o ped
lers of a new map OF Palestine were eltiei
killed or wounded during the season, ana that
in every instance the blame was with the ami
NAL hit. The archers to girl have filed affi-
dayits from which it appears that each one OF
those COWS, horses goats, pigs and boys We're
recklessly exposing their respective lives by
standing within $3.50 feet of the respective tar
gets at the time accidents occurred.-Albany

hours with no indication of rain. If the fires
continue there will be very heavy losses.
