They Kill all the Ducks

BUSH RIVER NECK, September 5.-Our can
ners are making better time and appear to be
finding more tomatoes and corn than they
had expected.
Messrs s. T. Peters & Son have again fitted
up the Enterprise Mills with new boiler and
other equipments. 1t is to be hoped these
gentlemen will meet with sufficient encour-
agement to justify them in continuing the
business, as it is great convenience to oul
neighborhood. They are enterprising gentle
men and deserve it.
Mr.. N. w. s. Hays, Of Churchville, was al
the High House about two weeks ago and
went soft grabbing. While rounding point
he discovered crane sitting in the grass, ap-
parently asleep. Mr.. Hays clapped his crat
net over the bird and succeeded in capturing
him. Before liberating the long legged fish
catcher he fastened small sleigh bell around
its neck. The crane can still be seen any day
flying around our marshes and appears to be
quite proud of his tinkling cymbal.
The HdUre de Grace Republican says in its
last issue that summer ducks and blue wings
are here and that few are being killed and
sold at 81 .25 per pair. Is it any wonder they
are scarce? In our forefathers' days oul
marshes and creeks and even our woods ant
swamps used to be full of them. Now we car
see blue wings and hut very few summer Oh
woods ducks as they are known by sports
men. The reason for this is found in the fact
| that in these days as soon as duck lights OF
the Susquehanna flats there is some one there
| waiting to shoot him. In fact, all the duck'
| that go to those waters to feed or roost arr
| shot as soon as they poke their bills up The
bay.
The weather is hot, dusty and dry and so il

that the cause may be traced to the forest
