operations are not confined 10 the week days.
We are oredibly informed that firing in the
woods and fields is often heard on Sundays,
and that, too, within a radius Of a mile circle
from tho post office. At present the matter
certainly requires a check. There are laws
which are stringent enough II II becomes
needful to enforce them, and such occur

serve AZ a timely warning
Although Mr.. Boutwell's wound will dis.

not dangerous and he will recover in due
time. A little change in bis position, or
change Of an inch or two In the course OF the
bullet would certainly have cost him his life
"a fact which Il can hardly be pleasant for
the reckless sportsman who fred the shot to
remember.
