DOG AND GUN.
Commencement of tho Guun1 ng
Season To-day.


For week past sportsmen have been
cleaning and fixing up their towling
pieces in anticipation OF the Cunning
season Which commences to-day, The
marsh, however, has been filled with
gunhers for over week past, who not
having the fear of the law before their
eyes have succeeded in killing a number
of birus. This morning at an early honr
numbers of men and boys With all de-
scription of weapons from the superior
breech loader down to the old L.
ket, were vending their way to the
marshes along the river front, and II
each one should meet with the success
that he anticipates there will be but a
very few birds left this evening.
The little "reedy" (DOlichonyz OriZ-
yvorns) is known as the bobOlink dur
ing the summer months in the North;
the reed bird daring the fall in Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and Delaware; the
rice bird in the southern States, and
the butter bird in the West Indies.
This ''succulent mouthfll,' as he is
early part of August, but never is in
good condition until about the 10th of
Septem Der, owing to the bitter taste i'm
parted to their flesh by the upland grass
and meadow seeds upon which they feed
before reaching the Delawar marshes.
They are not as well favored as a tom
tit previous to the ripening of the
marsh seeds. 1t would De au idle task
20 enumerate the best localities for
shooting these birds, as they swarm on
every patch of reeds on both sides OF
the Delaware from keedy Island to
Trenton, and can be shot in great num-
bers in the early morning, at which
hour the market shooter tinds his har-
vest.

A Case OF Desttlullon.

A sad case of destitution exists at
1881 Poplar street in a very worthy in.
dustrious family which needs looking
after by the charitably disposed amongst
our citizens. The family consists of u
husband, wife and seven children, some
weeks ago the father and one of the sons
were stricken with smallpox and
were conveyed to the hospital where
they soon recovered from the disease
and being cured returned to their home.
Al this time the family got behind as
there was nobody to earn money to
keep them.
The father again returned to his work
a few days ago but had only worked
two or three days when he was taken
with the erysipelas and his wife being
in a delicate condition both are confined
to the house. Yesterday morning when
DR.. Keables called the man made known
his circumstances and fully confessed
to the doctor that be was afraid his
family would starve as there was moth
ing in the house to eat nor had they
any money to purchase food. "The doc
tor told him his family would not be
allowed to suffer in such a plentiful
country as this and Immediately reliev.
ed their wants az tar as he was able,
but that they may not suffer any more
this appeal is made to the public.

ROW IN A BOARDING. HOUSE.
A Bosrder APpropriasss Sone
Funds bolOng Ing 70 the Cook.

A boarding house at Eighth anG
Spruce streets, was the scene of an ex
citement yesterday morning, that came
very near coming before the Mayor fOI
settlement. The hired girl short time
since put twelve dollars and seventy
five cents in sewing machine drawer,
and yesterday morning at an early hour
found that it was missing. She irnme-
diately informed the proprietor OF her
loss, and he forbid any one leaving the
house until search was made. Ia the
meantime we'll known police officer
was called in to assist, and the search
was begun. All the men that were
down stairs, willingly consented to sub.
nit all their possessions to the inspec-
tion of the officer, but still the where
abouts of the script remained mys-
terry. There was yet one man upstairs
and the party proceeded to his room to
interview him. he was found in bed,
apparently sound asleep altt ongh he
had all his clothes on; after some diff
Guilty he was aroused, and at first de-
MED all knowledge of the theft, but
upon being cornered admitted that he
had taken the money, and handed his
pocket book containing nine dollarsand
seventeen cents to the officer, stating
that he had taken the money the even
ing before and spent the balance; he
however promised to make good the
whole amount, if the woman would not
have him arrested. This she agreed to
and there the matter rests. 1t is but
afSw days since the proprietor had four
hundred dollars in the house, for sew
eral days, but fortunately deposited it
a day or so ago.

Mrs. Gar0eld's Faith.

The following is an extract from a
letter written by Mrs. Garfield to the
Presidents mother only a day or 80 be-
fore his recent great danger.
"WAsHINGTON, August 23-"Dear
Mother: Slowly, but very steadily,
James is coming up from his trouble
with his stomach. begin to wonder
what can happen next, and whether
there is any lower r0te in the scale for
him to touch. But If there is, | shall
not despair, and you must not. His
strong institution and superabunaant
vitality believe will carry him
through. begin to see how little l
know of the troubles attending such
wound. Ii seemed to me that when he
got through the first week and then the
second 10 well it must be plain sailing.
l can now understand why the surgeons
were never ready to say that the dan
gers were all past. They would say
that they thought they were, NC. 1t
has been a strange disappointing sum
mer, but if we all come through alive
and we'll we will not complain.

Killed by q Falling Limb.

A most distressing accident oscured
at Wellsville, Ohio on Tuesday after
noon, resulting in the death Of one boy
and serious injury of an another. The
lads, named Jonnie Miller end Willie
Smelts, were resting under large syc-
amore tree In the rear part of the town,
when, without u moments warning, a
large dead limb fell from the tree and
struck young Miller on the head,
crushing it in u terrible manner, scat
tering the brains for quite distance
and causing instant death. Young
.Smelts escaped with a broken arm and
several ether injuries. The boys were
aged thirteen and ten years respec-
lively, Miller being the only son Of .
poor widow.

Probable Murder of Man WHO
was Ins ured for . Largo A mount.

John Sheridan, a coachman, aged 81
years, whose body was found on Satur.
day morning last in a hogshead Of rain
water near the repair shops of the
Pennsylvania Coal Company, ut Pitts
ton, Pa, where he was employed, " as
hastily buried ON Sunday, before any
County Coroner. The Coroner was no
titied that persons who had viewed the
body before its burial saw marks Of
violence on the head of the deceased.
The Coroner, DR.. Spayd, has deter
mined to have the body exhumed for
the purpose of holding an inquest
There is almost positive evidence that
Sheridan was insured In the graveyard
companies, and this fact is what leads
to the suspicious that he has been MUIR
dere,l. The motive to kill somebody
in this section will be better understood
when it is stated that in districts
y here hundreds of Door men are actu-
ally denying themselves and their
families of the commOnest necessaries
of life to pay the constant assessments
made by the companies, not a subject
has died, and hence there have been no
disbu rsements made. 1t is a fact that
some of the companies are quite anx-
ions for the death of an old subject or
two, because they strongly desire to
disburse q few dollars in order that
their business may be sustained. IL is
shown, therefore, that the companies
and the policy holders hereabonts just
now have mutual interest in the
death of somebody.
