The scarcity of game in the State is grow
ing more apparent each season, and the mat.
ter is becoming serious one with sportsmen.
Even the market punners say they never
found birds SO scarce. There are still num-
bers of ducks on the Susquehanna fats, but
few are being killed. The canvas-backs fly
so high that even four-guage guns will mo-
reach them. GHnners attribute this 10 the
continuous shooting There are few ducks
in the Patuxent and other rivers of the State.
The laws governing duck-shooting in Mary
land waters will also receive some attention,
and efforts will be made to have them changed
Bush-w hacking or sneak-boat shooting, it is
said, is most detrimental. as the constant
movement OF the bush hack boats drives the
ducks off more than the shooting, 1t is pro-
posed to have law introduced in the legisla-
ture 10 make this kind of shooting unlawful.
A law to prevent the killing of woodcock and
partridges antil the fall of 1895 or later is also
proposed Because of the scarcity of birds
many sportsmeu have RETAINED from shooting
this season.-Ex

kinds Of hay have different weights per cubic

The reader of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
u dreaded disease that science has
been able to ure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting d.
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing it's work. The pro-

alive powers, that they offer One

FOR THE FLOOD SUFFER
ERS.

The gentlemen who originated and
carried to a most successful accom-
plishment the recent journalistic base
ball entertainment in this city for the
Newsboys' Home have planned a
extensive and elaborate performance
for the benefit Of the Louisiana food
sufferers. The entertainment will not
only be given in this city, but will be
repeated at Baton Rouge and Thibo-
danx on dates given below.
The diversion will embrace a base
ball match contested tor by the joint
clubs OF the New Orleans newspaper
men who contended here on one side,
and a club of gentlemen engaged in
mercantile pursuits on the other. Both
clubs enroll among their numbers some
skilled players and athletes, who will
make a match worth the attention of
all lovers of sport. In addition to the
game. there will be a display in high
class athletics by the junier class of
the Young Mems Gymnastie Club, of
this city. This is one of the most dis
tinguished clubs of amateur athletes
in this or any other country, and it
will furnish a class of finished GYM
nasts in every department. Not one
is a professional. but all are young
gentlemen of the highest standing and
social condition in the city.
The gentlemen who have charge of
the affair ale in every way enterpris-
ing and thoroughly reliable, and COM
pletely devoted to charity. They
have been able to bring ont the best
people in the greatest numbers in New
Orleans, and they propose to try their
skill for sweet charity's sake in the
places mentioned. The entertainment
will be given at New Orleans on Sun
day, June % at T~hibodaux.on Sun
day, July 2 and a. Baton Rouge on
Sunday, July 9. It is understood that
the railways will make liberal excur-
sion rates.

+ We,arei in receipt, from the Louisia-
Ia Deparosaesas Of Agriculture, Circu-
lar No. ,2ss&fses of 1898, OF the Report
OH acreage and condition of the prin-
cipal crops, and the Review OF Work
at Calhoun Experiment Station, pub
Flished last month.
In regard to crops in our Parish,
the report has the following ~fattering
remark ..
''In Lafourche III correspondent
thinks that fully 20 per cent more
cane has been planted this spring,
and the stand and condition could not
possibly be much better. Corn is less
in acreage, but the crop is very fine,
and more fertilizers have been used
on the crop. Other field crops and
garden vegetables are very fine.
Some portions of the cultivated fields
ale now under water from the crew
asses on the Bayou Lafourche, but it
is very difficult to estimate how much
of the lands on which crops are grow
ing have been submer ged."
It has been a long time since the
proceedings of the Parish School
Board have been published. One
would suppose that a Board, hand
ling several thousand dollars of the
taxes of the people would give the
taxpayers an idea how their taxes
have been disposed of. and it would
be no unreasonable request of the tax
payer to ask that publication be made
of the acts and proceedings of the
School Board.
No one doubts that the School
Board has been wisely using the
School Funds in a way that would
best promote the public education of
the children throughout the Parish,
still it would be more satisfactory to
the people, and The members of the
Board themselves to promulgate the
facts.
