Co0L.-An anonymous writer, signing
himself "Game," has the cheek to write
and ask the editor of this paper: "W hy do
you not publish and prosecute the parties
who violate the game laws" We do not
usually notice anonymous correspondence,
but in this instance will depart from the
rule, to say to "Game" that if he is cogni'
SAINT Of the fact that the laws are violated,
and If he knows the names of the offend
ers, he can have them published, and do
his own prosecuting. as it is no more
part of our duty to do so, than it is his.
Judging from the tenor of the note, we in
fer that the writer knows of the violation
of the law, and IL this is the case, 1t is his
duty to attend to the matter, instead of
taking us to task, for not doing that winch
he probably has not the courage to do, and
which We know nothing about.
HARvEsT.-Thc harvest progresses very
satisfactorily, and so far but little delay
has been caused by unfavorable weather.
Where stood immense fields of golden
grain one week ago. to-day long rows Of
shocks are now seen, while here and there
plethoric stacks are already dotting the
stubble. There does not appear to be any
scarcity of farm hands, although there is
an effort made by some of the help to raise
prices, but the only good 1t does is to
crowd the high priced men out of work,
as there enough others 10 ill the demand
at the going figures. From two to two
and one-half dollars are the prices paid
while in few instances three dollars is de
manded. The quantity and quality of the
} grain is excellent and all of it is being Sc
J cured in fine condition. A continuance Of
, favorable weather for q couple of week:
, would enable the majority of farmers tc
complete their harvesting.
ZEPHYR.-The wind rushed round in thil
locality last Friday in a most unGigniiet
manner, and was evidently going some
where and intended to get there rs soon a
: possible, If not sooner The business o
the day was conducted with closed doors
