VT has been noticed among sportsmen
in many parts of the country that the
rufIed grouse, or common pheasant, is
very scarce. An exchange says: THE
cause of the scarcity is because the eggs
are stolen by parties of chemists who use
portions of the eggs in making drug,
which is very rare. A man with six
boys and seven fine bird dogs was in the
vicinity of Scranton last summer and
collected 10000 pheasant eggs. This is
why pheasants are hard to find"
Harry Campbell, former Clarion
county farmer, who about fifteen years
ago went TO California, in private letter
to friend here gives an account of his
crops for this year as follows: my fruit
crop this year is very good; nearly 100
tons of green fruit. 1 had 25 tons of
apricots, IS tons Bartlett pears, between
so and 60 ton of peaches, ~ tons of al
monds besides some figs, prunes, cher
ries, etc. And all this from 20 acre
farm. A pretty good crop, amt it,"
Family jars Of the kind mentioned
in the following item from the Blizzard
should be studiously avoided: As gen.
cral thing glass will not digest well on
even a cast iron stomach, and persons
should carefully examine jars made OF
that material before using them for fruit
or berries. Last evening a family in
this city fortunately discovered several
small pieces of glass in some preserved
fruit which they were about to devouI
and upon examination found that thin
coating of glass had become loosened
from the inside bottom of the jar which
had contained the fruit.
The recent state convention of county
commissioners took favorable action
toward the passage of a law requiring
constables to make returns to court only
when they have violations Of law to re-
port i'm their districts. They assumed
that a constable should either be diligent
enough in the discharge of his duties &c
find some violations of the law to report
, or he should stay at home when the time
arrives for making his return. The plan
of having all the constables of a county
report at court every three months, when
only few of them have any thing TO re
port is not a good one and involves use
. less expense, was the opinion of the con-
vention.
