An unusual adventure which recently occurred to
your correspondent while hunting at Brookmere, In
this State is timely and contains much that can
be made valuable to all readers that venture repro
duce it entire:
The day was Q most Indictment one and the snow
quite deep. Rabbit tracks PLENTIFUL but they
principally led in the direction Of large swamp in
which the rabbits could run without difficulty but
where the hunter constantly broke through the thin
ice sinking into the half frozen mre his knees Not
wlthstanding these difficulties the writer had perse-
vered although very small bag Of game was the re-
suit While tramping about through particularly
laral portion of the swamp a middle-aged man sud-
denly came into view. carrying muzzleloadng shot
gun, and completely loaded down with game Of the
finest description Natural curiosity aside from the
involuntary envy that instiucvey arose. prompted the
writer to enter into conversation with the man. with
the following result:

the time"
And did you trace all this to the fact that Won had
hunted SO much in this swamp"
No. didn't know what to lay it to- but knew that
was IN misery. My joints swelled until it seemed as

TRY. Ishould think did try. tried every doctor
that came within reach and all the proprietary me-

enough to last me for all time but the only relief re-
