concerning the grand and lofty artillery
| practice on the Delaware on last Sunday
morning. While the church bells were
calling the inhabitants of our peaceful
village to their devotions for you must
know that we are pious town, especially
during the Cherry and pumpkin seasons,)
few Of our noted sportsmen gathered up
their weapons and hied them to the
Falls below here, for the purpose of
sDuck Shooting.'' Having in all haste
arrived upon the ground, they each be-
held duck, Lucky thought. they stimuli
taneously fired, but to their establishment,
no duck was to be seen; each hunter had
either been the victim of an optical
delusion, or had missed his victim.
After waiting short time, they were re :
warded with the temperance of one
duck; whocautiously raising his head from
the water, gazed upon the landscape; won
der is depicted upon all countenances, as
every man present had believed that he
had surely killed his bird. After repeated
discharging of guns, horsepistols, musk
cts, pop-guns, &c, without any effect,
they were hailed by stranger and in
formed that there was only one duck
there, and that there hadn't been any
more Whereabouts that morning. Mad
dened by disappointment, they held
consultation and vainly endeavored to
count him out" That duck was determ-
ened to await the arrival of board to
return upon, and wouldn't scare worth a
cent. Having wasted all their ammuni-
ton and being exhausted from their fu-
tile efforts, they took the back track and
allowed that duck to clear the waters
toward land, alone in his glory. Whoop
