r,,a IUoo,1.oo1r sa..,n

In Connecticut the bird law is on till the first of October, but in New York 1t was of Monday, and the crack of the spertsmen's guns was heard in every swamp and field where woodcock could be found. In New York Monday the price per pair for these birds was $1.5o, but no doubt they could be obtained for less yesterday. The law in this State defeats itself, because the sportsmen believe there is no justice in putting of the time for shooting woodeock two months later than is done in the adjoining state of New York. It is mistake, and the conse- quence is the sportsmen disregard the law. Woodcoek shooting is going on in Connecti. cut to-day in spite of the law. It is asking too much of human nature to expect that the hunters will stand idly by and see the New York sportsmen shake the bush for all the birds in that State and then patiently watch for those in Connecticut to cross the border, where they can also bag them before the law will permit our sportsmen to have hand in the sport. To repeat the main point, the law defeats itself, and it would be an act of wisdom for our lawmakers to take the sub ject under consideration at the next session of the Legislature. We believe the existing law has been in force since 1879. Hdstford Tunes.

The ledge from which he undoubtedly fell is about twenty feet high. Some think MT. Smibert fell of the rocks by accident, and others that he was as- saulted and thrown down.

A Rare Old Bible,

There is an old Bible in the Congressional
Library, in the Capitol, which is well worth
an examination. 1t is of Italian origin, and
is supposed to have been written in the
thirteenth or fourteenth century, bat the
actual date is unknown. It is written in
Latin, upon vellum, in clear, bold charac-
tiers, and extremely uniform. The writing
is in two columns, about three inches wide,
with margin of two inches. 1t is embel-
ished with 146 miniature paintings, and
upward of l 200 smaller illuminations which
are beautifully executed and are as brilliant
TO- day as the day they were done. The
initials of books and prologs are two and a
half inches in height. 1t is contained in
two large volumes, and cost the Govern
ment $4,000 in gold when gold was at
high premium, and was purchased at sale

DIsHoNoRED BONDS.
In the discharge of final duty should deem my
self recreant to the high trusts conded to my care

appeal for the performance of simple act of JUS
tce toward those who have so long and fruitlessly
held the solemn obligations of the State can but
express my regret that in the performance of so

entertaining different views, for whose candor and
Judgment I cherish high regard In my

the issue Of the so-called Minnesota State railroad
bonds, and the urgent Importance of providing for
their settlement, have been setforth.
The fact that the prin ,ipal Of these bonds will
become due so soon after the next regular session
that too little time thereafter will be left to provide
for meeting them, invests the subject at this time
with new importance, and renders the prompt and
final adjustment of this long standing Indebtedness
a matter Of solemn and, imperative duty.
However good citizens may honestly differ as to
the nature and force of the obligation represented
by these bonds. the absolute necessity that some
kind of disposition should be made Of outstanding
paper, bearing the sovereign pledge and attesta-
ton Of our State, will be conceded
by all. Without questioning the sincerity OF
those who oppose full payment of the debt. 1t
is difficult to see why there should be serious differ

conditions Of the contract are undeniable
That the original proposition was amply discussed,
deliberately adopted and overwhelmingly endorsed
by the people, matter OF record That the railroad
companies faithfully performed their part Of the
contract so far as to enttle them to the bonds con-
