OPENING OF THE DUcKINe SEAsoS.-lt Is
estimated that 5000 wild ducks were killed
on the fia's at Ilavre de Grace, Oh Wednesday,
the opening of the ducking season. More
would have been killed but for the calm
weather, which prevented them from flying.
Among the good scores made from sink boxes
were the following:
Jesse Poplar, 22:55; Vim. Linithicum and party
12l: JAS K. Malone and party, 1l9; T. Shar-
rett and Il. Gilbert, so; Mr.. Reynolds, 10;
VIM Myers, 100; Capt. Pennington, 1875;
Capt Middleton and party, 90.
Jesse Poplar killed seven eoots, with two
shots, as they sailed over his decoys.
Very few canvas backs were killed. Canvas
backs sold at from $3.50 to So per pair red
heads at 81 so to sl75 bIackheads, from SIS
to SIPS.
The BALTIMORE AND LEHIGH RAILROAD
A bill has been filed in the United States Cir
cult Court, at Baltimore, asking for a fore
closure of the first mortgage on the Baltimore
I 81; Ro;lr Tba in Mary-
land is now in the hands of a receiver, Mr..
VIM. H. Bosley, and the excellent showing he
has made will doubtless delay, fora time at least,
the foreclosure of the mortgage. 1t is stated
that application will be made to the court for
the issue of receivers certificates, to be used
in the improvement of the road-bed the pur-
chase of new engines, new cars, &c. Mr..
Bosley's management of the road appears to
justify the confidence reposed in him by the
court which appointed him.
1t is stated that Receivers Bosley and Tay
lor have adjusted their differences and the
two ends of the road will hereafter be manag
ed tremendously and conformity.
