Notes.

Mr.. j. Darling of Lowell, one of the best
known hunters in the State, arrived in the
city last evening. He has a camp which has
become very popular with sportsmen and
during the open season furnishes his patrons
with canoes, guides, etc, and endeavors in
every way possible to give them q pleasant
time. Mr.. Darling is very much interested
in the game laws and very DESTROYS that
some changes should be made in them, espe-
cially in the section which prohibits the use
of dogs. He brought to this city a petition
for this change which will soon be presented
to the legislature. Mr.. Darling declares
that it is not the use of dogs which annih-
Hates game but the practice of hunting deer
on the crust when they are herded together
and may be easily reached and slaughtered
in large quantities. He is positive that if
the use of dogs in hunting is allowed no
more deer will be killed than at the present
time, and the laws against winter hunting
will be much better enforce d. Mr.. Darling
will probably present his views to the com
mittee on game at its next meeting.

csnvassing the members of the Legislature
