Correspondence Spirit Of the IImes.)
An unusual adventure which recently
occurred to your correspondent while hunt-
ing at Brookmere in this State is Sc timely
and contains SO much that can be made
valuable to all readers, hat l venture to
reproduce it entire:
The day was n most Indictment one and
the snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks were
plentiful, but they principally led in the
direction of q la &c SWAMP, in which the
rabbits could run without difficulty, but
where the hunter constantly broke through
the thin ice, sinking into the half-frozen
mire to his knees. Notwithstanding these
difficulties, The writer had perseve-ed, al
though a very small bag of game was the
result. While tramping about through a
particularly malarialp portion ofthe swamp,
q middle aged man suddenly came into
view carrying 8 muzZle loading shotgun
and completely loaded down with game of
the finest description. Natural curiosity,
aside from the Involuntary envy that in
stinctively arose, prompted the writer to
enter into conversation with the man,, with
the following result:
"You've had fine success, where did you
get all that game"
"Right here, in the swamp"
"It's pretty rough hunting in these parts,

"Yes, it's not very pleasant, but ! am

"How long have you hunted hereabouts:"
"Why, bless you, i nave lived here most
of my life and hunted up to ten years ago
every year."
"How does it happen you omitted the
last ten years."
Because l was scarcely able to move,
much less hunt" .
