Watching Nonresident sporfsmen.

The opening OF the season for shooting
rabbits and quails in New jersey attracted
many Don-residents. The trains leaving
Camden on Thursday, both morning and
afternoon, were partially filled with gun
ners and dogs, and it was stated by we'll
known sportsman that the change of the
close season from the 1st of November to
the 18th was the incentive to SO many gan
ners going out on the first day. The non
residents, chiefly from Pennsylvania, are
mostly members of the West Jersey Game
Protective Society, which includes all the
lower counties, aud they are protected by
permits from this society. In many of the
best game districts in Gloucester, Salem,
Cumberland and Cape May counties
notices have been posted warning gunners
to ''keep off, under penalty of the law"
This is the case in number of places
which heretofore have been privileged
hunting grounds for residents or non-resi-
dents, and the reason assigned by the own
ers of such property is that many Of the
nonresident gunners are so destructive to
property, tearing down fences, oyerturning
fodder stacks, and, in many. instances,
chickens or other poultry will be shot
within a short distance of the farm houses.
Farmers have complained of such treat
ment, and they now say that their only
plan is to forbid any cunning on their
premises. The reports from the counties
named state that rabbits are plentiful
everywhere and that the season tor quail
pro misses to be a good one.

HardIe and Won Lcer's Grand Ncio-
dramatic Spectacle ION The Frontier

On Wednesday eveaing, Nov. %, the
distinguished artists Hardie and VonLeer,
and splendid company will appear at the
new Opera House, and present their grand
melodramatic spectacle entitled "On The
Frontier" There are fifty people in the
production, including full dramatic COM
pany, speciality company OF singers and
dancers, quartette and genuine indian
brass band, forming the largest, and best
theatrical company that has ever appear
ed in Woodstown. Among the speciality
acts introduced is the wing dancing of
Emile Hensel who holds the proud distinc-
tion of being the greatest wing dancer in
the world. This company carry their own
scenery and introduce many novel me
chanical effects including the burning hut,
and arrival of the reinforcements. This
mammoth company could only be induced
to play Woodstown by the management,
paying them large certainty, but they
are bound that the amusement loving pub
lie of this town shall have as good attrac-
tions as the larger places at any cost. "On
The Frontier was produced at Baltimore
last week, and the Daily Neaos of that city
praises the performance as follows: San
immense throng crowded Ford's Opera
House last night to see "On the Frontier"
Standing room only could be had except
by early comers, and number of persons
were unable to obtain even that. The
audience was as enthusiastic as it was large
and greeted each hit of the hero and hero
inc, impersonated respectively by Mr.. Har-
die and Miss Won Leer, with shouts and
prolonged applause. At the end of each
act the curtain was raised, and at the end
ofthe third act the principals were forced to
appear before the curtain. Among the many
special features deserving praise are the
burning at the stake, the attack on the
ranch, and in the last act the determination
of the real live Indians, which give
realistic air to the whole performance.
The drama is strong and the company an
excellent one. The singing and dancing
were capital and the genuine Indians intro
duced elected much applause" I"
