A Sportsman's Manual.

As the autumnal cunning season draws nigh a
demand arises for information concerning the
best ranges of game, and the waterways most
prolific of fowl. For the purpose of supplying
such demand, the Passenger Department of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Rail-
road Company has published work entitled "a
Paradise for Gunners and Anglers" The little
volume is an exhaustive treatise on the game
birds, water fowl, and fishes of the Maryland,
Delaware and Virginia Peninsulas, their haunts,
habits, and characteristics. An excellent map of
the territory, showing the location of streams and
the means of access, and handsome illustrations of
the rarer specimens of birds and fish serve both
to embelish and contribute to the interest of
both. Information as to the game laws, the time
when certain game most abound, the procurement
of guides boats, &C., and in fact everything which
would make the way of the sportsman clear, is
furnished in ample detail.
The book is distributed gratuitously and may
be procured by addressing James R. Wood, Gen
eral Passenger Agent, Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad, Philadelphia, Pa.

The American Agriculturist for October, in re-
ferring to this famous breed of horses, says: The
"Clydesdale Horses" are among the heaviest and
most powerful horses in the world In these, form
has not been sacrificed to mere bulk, but the true
form of the draft horse has been carefully studied,
and, after long course Of breeding, has been
confirmed as the property of the breed. They
take their name from the valley of the Clyde, but
are bred very largely in other parts of Scotland.
The English have used them extensively in the
improvement of the great coarse draft breed ma
tive to the northern middle counties of England,
and, in their improved form, known as the ng
fish Shire horse. They possess great prepotency,
marking their get with their own striking charac
teristics-bredth, depth, weight, power, excellent
bone, great honesty in the collar, good constitu-
ton and excellent disposition.
"The origin of the breed is attributed to the use
of many Flemish and Dutch horses and mares,
improved by the Duke of Hamilton for his estate
in Lamarkshire on the Clyde, not far from Glas-
gov. The crossing of these horses with the hardy
pack horses of the region may well have given
the stock activity, constitution, endurance, and
intelligence, the reduced size having been made
up by subsequent good breeding, without the loss
of their excellent qualities but rather with gain
in all good points, such as ought to come from
good breeding in all cases. They have long been
held to be the best shaft horses in the world"
