For the Ere of Major Rrock.

Editor Sidr:-I desire to cali the attention of
the police authorities OF the District to sections
~ and 10 OF an act approved June Is, 1873, enti-
tied can act for the preservation of game and
protection OF birds in the District of Columbia"
Those sections are as follows: Section 10. "That
no person shall at any time kill or shoot at am
wild duck, wild goose or wild brandt. with any
other gun than such as are habitually raised at
arms length and fired from the shoulder, under
penalty Of s. for each and every wild fowl so
killed, and under the further penalty of S25 for
firing such gun at any wild fowls, as aforesaid
or having said gun in possession"
Section Is. "That no person shall kill or shoot
at any bird or wild fowl in the night time,
under .. penalty Of s25 for every bird or wild
fowl so killed, and under the further penalty Of
so for shooting at any bird or wild fowl in the
night time, as afOre1 aid"
The law is explicit, and with the exercise Of
proper vigilance by the authorities, there is no
excuse for its violation. Every day there are
half dozen big gunners on the river between
washington and Alexandria. Their huge swivel
pieces. carrying pound OF shot at a charge,
will often times destroy entire f1ocks OF rs or 80
ducks. These violators OF the game laws shoot
by night as well as day. They dare not get
within the jurisdiction of the Alexandria offi-
GERS, for arrest and fine is sure to follow. Only
within the jurisdiction of the Washington police
are they safe A few inquiries on the subject
made OF some residents on the Island and about
Cumberlands boat houses, would reveal the
owners of the unlawful ducking cannon. A
short trip on the river at daybreak would en-
able any active policeman to identify and arrest
the violatorS of the law. SPORTSMAN

Clutches. A Wonderful Cure.

., Messrs WEEKS Potter: Gentlemen:-In jus.
tee to those who may suffer as have suffered, and
as grateful acknowledgment of the cure have
received from the use OF the CUTICURA REMEDIES,
voluntarily make the following statement
l have had Salt Rheum on my body and on one
leg in very aggravated form for eight years No
kind Of treatment. or medicine. or doctors, during
TINS ume, did me any permanent good. My friends
in Maiden and elsewhere know that have been
great sufferer and that my condition at times has
been such as to make me dispair of ever being able
to ind cure, or even relief. In fact when began
the use OF CuTIcURA, my limb was so raw and
tender that could not bear my weight on it with
out the skin cracking and bleeding and was Obliged
to go about on crutches; l commenced to use the
CUTIcURA in April. and at once realized its benefi-
cial effects It gradually drew the Inflammation
and hum0r to the surface, and, fast as it appear
ed, healed it. At times large quantities would come
10 me surface causing burning heat, Inflammation,
use Of CuTIcURA, would rapidly subside and heal
Each time these outbreaks grew less and less severe
and finally disappeared. leaving me perfectly cured.
l used the CUIICURA five months and took the Re-
soLvTNT most Of the time, which were the only
remedies used. l think the REsoLvENT q very
strengthening and purifying medicine to take in
such extreme cases as mine, because the disease is
so weakening to the system.

their best efforts to provide suitable buildings.
At present many Of the schools are kept in
hired rooms, tll-adapted to the purpose, badly

bit. About IL q. m. he made his appearance ut
HugheSvflle with the gun, and remained there
until evening. About half hour before the
shooting he inquired for Mr.. Fred. TIGER and
Dixon, the deceased, and was told they would
be there about dusk; he then sat down and
claimed: Here come TIGER and Dixon" who at
that moment drove up In wagon and jumped
out About the same time Acton came out OF
the tavern with gun in hand, and advanced to
meet Dixon, and when within three Or four
steps raised the gun to his side and fired, the
load entering the stomach of Dixon, who fell
dead. Acton then walked off. The prosecution
also offered testimony showing that after Dor
got Mr.. Thomas H. Scott to clean and los.d 1t for

wild bull" which he could not manage.

as the same is suitable for publication) that he
and Dixon lived on the same place, q farm be-
in-law and whose agent he was; that both were
married men and had grown daughters; that
much intimacy existed between the two fami-
lies; that Mrs. Acton who was a helpless Grip
pie, informed the prisoner that Dixon was al
most constantly at the house with Actions
daughter during the absence of the latter
whereupon his suspicious being aroused, he
watched and caught Dixon and prisoners
daughter In an equivocal position; that he re-
monstrated with his daughter, whoa few nights
afterwards fed with Dixon to washington city,
where he found her some two or three weeks
afterwards at the house OF DiXonS brother; thai
she was removed from there and placed with
her aunt, Mrs. Collamore, where her mother
had also been removed; that on visit to Wash
ington on the Thursday preceding the homicide
he learned that Dixon had been making efforts
to enttce the girl from her new home, on learn
