Spanish Game Laws.
[Temple Bari


ASpanish country. gentleman does not,
as an English Squire, shoulder his gun,
whistle his dog, take lad to carry his
game, and trudge off for an afternoons
sport. It would be unsafe in this coun-
try, for the sportsman could get no bag
in the open fields; he must HE to the
wilds far away, and, if known to be rich,
he might be "sequestrated," as it is
called; that is, taken prisoner, by some
wild hill-gang, and ransom demanded
for his release. In common Justice,
however, let me say that, after wander.
ing over the widest and worst parts Of
Spain on foot, alone, have never yet
been molested.
Your space would not allow me to
dwell here upon game laws, preserved
lands, and the like, in Spain. Suffice il
to say that, as rule, the greater part Of
the country is unpreserved; and the
genus poacher does not exist mean
poacher legitimate. Here is a summary
of the game laws of Spain: l. Land-own
ers may shoot over their own property
all the year round. 2. Shooters over
public grounds must not shoot in the
close season. 3. The close season is from
April LIST to September 1st in northern
and from March 1st to September 1st ir
southern Spain. 4. No guns may be free
in snowy or misty weather. s. Angling
is allowed all the year round, but net
fishing is forbidden to all from March 1s
to July 30th. 6. Decoy birds and net
for birds are only allowable for flights o
quails and stock-doves.

LONDON, Dec 3O.-A dispatch from Cabul
states that detachment of troops from the
Shirpur camp occupied Bolahissa on the
Oath without'opposition. The fear which
had previously been entertained of the ex-
istence of hidden mines in the fortresses
have thus far proved groundless. The mag
axine was found perfectly empty, all the
arms and ammunition having been removed
by the enemy. The vigorous pursuit of the
fetreating Afghans which was undertaken
by the British after the battle of the 23d,
was abandoned on account of fear of
fall of snow, without having accomplished
the capture of any of the prominent lead

GEN. ROBERTS LOSSES
The reoccupation OF Butkak is announced
and that of several of the smaller villages
on the Butkak road, no effort being made
by the enemy to defend any of them. A
telegram from General Roberts places the
British losses in the battle of the 23d at
seventy-seyen killed and two hundred and
twenty wounded Some OF the enemy's
forces are now to be seen near Cabul except
occasional bands, which keep within the
shelter of the hills.
General Roberts has sent garrison to oc.

will be work of no difficulty.
