A Successful Beaver Hunt.

George W. Tigncr. Esq, related in our
hearing last week the incidents of an ex-
citing beaver hunt in which he, Mr. Ebert
Gray, and Others Of his n,ighbors were en-
gagged. We can't remember all that Mr.
Tigncr said about the hunt. but this fact
stands ont rs something worth special no
ticc, that the party, after cutting the dam
and laying open the passages used by the
beavers. killed seven in less than an hour,
besides killing two offers and catching
enough fish for all the party.
Beavers are now quite numerous in the
parish. Mr.. 4. &. Jones states that he has
discovered a large dam only mile or two
from town, on the D'Arbouur. We hear
of some Of them in all the creeks III the
parish.
